As I’ve said, I’m being Urania. I’m wearing this awesome toga. Light gray fabric underneath, light purple fabric with stars on top. I have a cheesy kaleidoscope that looks sort of like a telescope. It looks enough like one to work, anyway…

I’m so excited for ze kandi. And everything else. W00t!

4 – I know. Some people do. But not many, and no one will recognize me, even if they do know who Urania is. ‘Cause remember – she was an old muse too. Also – the toga is pretty distinctive, and they’ll get that, even if they don’t get the right character.
5 – I definitely agree. Especially since it’s after Halloween, so and extra kind of fits…sorta…I think so, anyway.
7 – Does “i” count as mispelled when referring to yourself?

I’m going to be a Dekranian warrior. A red sleeveless tube top, a blue shimmery miniskirt, and fishnets over purple tights. Also included are green gauntlets, a green belt for the weapons, and a green headband. I’m still working on most of this.
My mom made up something called the Halloween Fairy. You trade is 3/4ths of your candy and get a present. I think I want an iPulse this year.

I don’t know if I’ll beg in costume; I have drivers’ ed. But if I do, I’ll be either Quail Man, a faerie [again!], a lumberjack, or a doll. All of which require almost zero effort.
If I had more time, I’d make a Ziggy Stardust costume.
Being Koko would be fun. Maybe next year? I could wear a black skirt with black leggings and carry a black flute and spray my hair black and put it into six spikes. Sounds like fun for next year.

I am going as a black creature. Black wings, black clothes, stiped facepaint, blue swirls across my arms if its warm enough to not wear a sweatshirt. Highly reflective designs on the wings (just to make my parentals happy). Fangs that are about one inch long.
Since this is my last year (grumbl) I will be trying to go out with a bang. Of couse next year I will be hanging wwith my friends (read: getting candy in any way possible). I’m only 13!!!

(2, 6,8,10, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20) Those all sound like excellent costumes. Brilliant ideas, my friends, I like the way you folks think.
(11) Go as Quail Man! Ha. I think it’s sign of being a little kid in the 90s that you go as Quail Man for halloween.
I’m going as the Planters Peanut Man with my friend. We made our costumes out of burlap and we made a can out of chicken wire to go around us. It’s gonna be schweet.(…or rather, salty-*is pied*)
I have band practice until 6:30, and we’re all going to where our costumes (or at least the cool people will). And we’re practicing street marching, so we’ll all be walking down the road in costume, and it will be a big parade of crazy band people for all the world to see. Yay!

There are two ways of being the Spanish Inquisition:
1. (Monty Python way) Dress up as a bunch of dudes in red with crosses
2. Have one person dress up as a matador (Spanish) and the other person be a giant question mark made of papier mache (Inquisition)!

phew. I just finished my peanut costume. It was pretty last minute. Still, I’m proud of it. I won’t be able to take a picture until Halloween night, which means I won’t be able to e-mail my entry into the Muse contest until late at night, so hopefully that’s ok…

I don’t have a costume. But at the last minute, i decided to wear a cape cuz cape’s are pretty darn sveet. So i dug out the big grey cape that uncle john gave us. It’s too long and i’ll trip over it multiple times. But oh well. Oh, and while i was digging through my random boxes for the cape (yes, it’s been a year already and i still have boxes of random junk. Deal with it) i found my spyglass! So i’m a cape-wearing spyglass-user. The eyepiece fell off. I managed to find it, but it took forever because a box of legos broke and there were all these tiny pieces the same size as the eyepiece floating around the bottom of the box. Oh and i found my pwetty rock, the one i forget what kind it is. It’s like polished and streaky and pinkish. Found a load of old letters too, mostly from camp cuz that’s the only place i write letters. Oh and chapstick. Haven’t used chapstick since we moved. Not that i used it much anyway, but i did once in a while when parentals forced me. I found all sorts of other little things too, but i won’t bore y’all with them. Needless to say, when i was done they went back into the box, not put away. There are three of these boxes, and they were the 2-day before “oh [insert fav expletive here], we’re leaving in 2 days and all this has to be packed!” So i started throwing things in randomly. Surprisingly, very few things broke. Probably because all the fragile stuff had been packed earlier.
Anyhoo. I’ve wandered terribly off topic. Today i’m going to andy’s with cheese and jacob. We’re going to freak out trick-or-treaters. He said he had one of those huge plastic inflatable bats on a string in a tree that he could drop on/around people. Sounds interesting.

Haha, i took my cape to skool today. Then at lunch everybody wanted to try it on, so i let them. Then leo stole it and was Fat Man!!! (yes, you need the exclamation points) (he had an amazing hat on that looked amazing with the cape) (oh and we weren’t dissing him, he chose the name himself) so i let him borrow it until the end of the day. It was so funny. But Jacob took my spyglass because he’s going as a Pirate Squirrel. That’s going to be great. He looks a lot like a squirrel. It’s kind of skary. All he has to do is wear brown and put a tail on. And a pirate hat. Cheese ditched us for Ellison’s cuz that’s where kirschner was going, but Hunter’s going to andy’s with us. And matt might. And i’m going to try and drag jacob and andy to jazz band afterwards, b/c trick-or-treating ends at 7:30 and jazz band’s at 8. *evil plotting*
So apparently andy has a large plastic inflatable baseball bat that we’re going to drop out of the tree and freak ppl out with. Should be interesting.
I love halloween. Candy is my life.

I am going as the scariest thing I can think of: a band person. People in marching band look just like any innocent person, most of the time, but every friday evening they don dorky costumes and carry out weird rituals involving something that they seem to think is music and moving around in formation. They also infest the hallway leading to the room where the poor orchestra students keep their instruments, makeing it really stinky and difficult to navigate. Yesterday they conspired to form the densest crowd ever to prevent orchestra students (especially non-pushy ones like me) from crossing and made a lame excuse about wanting to find out if they made symphonic band (they call it “sym” band to confuse string intrumentalists, but we figured it out because we are smarter than them). For all this they get big rooms to rehearse in, full time teachers, lockers for their instruments, and generally more support from all levels of school administration. Errg.

Symphonic Band is awesome, I would be out there in the halls if the band teacher had just posted who had gotten in, too! AND I do know that band gets more support, because I am in both band and orchestra. But I DO know one thing. This is: BAND IS WAY SMARTER THAN ORCHESTRA!!!!! WAAAAYYYY SMARTER!!!!
Prepare to get creamed. Be glad you don’t know me in real life.
And you spelled “making” wrong. M-A-K-I-N-G!
And you capitalize Symphonic and Band, it is a title of a coolio band group.
But it is rubbing off on you. You dressed up as one.

12 – Last year I was black – and white. It was an awesome costume.
13 – Sonds awesome!
Kiki, tis an awesome punkin! Mine was basically the same, but Koko was thinner, he faced the other side, and he was inside a pie. And he had longer spiky thingys.
44 – Excuse me? Orchestra is AWESOME, with capital A-W-E-S-O-M-Es! Even if I’m not the best at orchestra….hehe…
I was very proud of my pumpkin. It looked nothing like the Muse Koko, because I didn’t have anything to base him off of (in other words, he was free-drawn), but it was still cool.
I got way too much candy.a ton of candy. Not quite enough, though.
My brother’s dementor costume got stuck on every bit of stair, and it was a bit hard to hold the pillowcase and the umbrella without dropping everything.
Everyone thought that the umbrella wasn’t part of my costume, because it was raining. It would have made more people ask about it if it wasn’t raining.
I got plenty of candy. OMG there was a bunch of it.

Well. I went TOTing from 5:30 to 7:20, even though in my town it’s illegal to go past 7:00. I went with about five other girls. Liz was a cheerleader, Molly was Jadestone Greenleaf, a character she made up, Rebecca was an angel, Rebecca’s friend that nobody knew was a wizard, Sara was a princess, and I was a Dekranian warrior. We also met up with Maggie’s party, but not for long. We went down B******* (my street), the cul-de-sac of aforementioned street, and then we went down K*******(Sara’s street). We culminated at Sara’s house. I got exactly 100 pieces of candy, and my bro (who didn’t go with me) got 125.

I got, like, 5 pieces. But that’s because I only got to go for a little while because I had choir rehersal. And it was POURING RAIN!
But that’s ok
I was Koko, and THF was Urania, so I got to constantly pie her with my aluminum-pie-tin-and-paper-plate-colored-to-look-like-a-pie-pie. It was fun.

But this isn’t a band rant.
So, my halloween…come home, read, etc. Eating dinner, hunter calls at 5 and goes “where are you, shouldn’t you be at andy’s house?” i was like “um…i thought it was 5:30” and he’s like “No, 4:30” so i go “meh, nobody told me!!!” then of course he insisted he did, i protested he didn’t, we said never mind, see you in a bit. Parentals aren’t home, i get bike and ride over. Then of course i can’t find the street. (it’s way farther west than i thought…it’s like past the elementary skool. so of course i’m going back and forth looking for it before i finally decide to try a bit farther on) by then it’s pouring rain and parentals call. So i have to stop, because i’m holding my cape in one hand (no, i wasn’t wearing it. it would’ve gotten caught in the gears or something) and i’m not skillaged enough to ride with no hands. Plus i wasn’t about to start trying as it was extremely wet and slippery and there were lots of high skool/college kids driving very quickly towards other parts of the area so that nobody would recognize them and laugh at them for trick-or-treating.So i get a loooooong lecture about calling before i leave the house-i was going to call when i got there, but of course mom had to get home early that day..*sigh* and then i finally got there at like 5:30. So then we took turns operating the bat (the string had to be pulled from the upstairs window) and putting on masks and twirling metal poles around and poking the stuffed skeleton guy full of dart holes (apparently andy has a blow gun. Why anybody would trust him with a dangerous weapon is beyond me). Oh and we saw billy on halloween patrol! Then we went inside and ate pizza and started to watch oceans 12 but we didn’t get very far because carmen (andy’s dog) kept coming in and trying to steal our food. So we kind of stopped watching the movie and ate candy and watched geeky videos on andy’s comp instead. then i went to jazz band (half an hour late, shame. but hewitt didn’t go at all. stupid hewitt). It was pretty much three saxes (carrie, cheese, and kirschner), four trumpets (billy, peter, carolynn, and moi) both our drummers (jake and danny clark) one guitarist whom i forget the name of (shameful. she’s really cool too. i talk to her. i just forget her name. i’ll probably remember it five minutes before i fall asleep), and schneids. that’s…11 people. Oh and one trombone player (Peaches!!!) 12. Durn, hewitt should’ve come! there would’ve been 13 people! Anyhoo, now i’m staying up until midnight waiting for the start of nano. Weisman and i are having a contest to see who can get 100 words first. so yep, that’s halloween. Wow, long rant…

44. I’m sorry for the spelling error, but nothing else I said. Band thinks it’s all that because it’s spoiled. It’s like John Reed and Jane Eyre. John can totally pulverize Jane, but Jane is still a cooler character. So far Band-Orchestra vote: 3-2. That ratio is somewhat smaller than the ratio of players at my school anyway.
I don’t know about wherever y’all live, but we had a pretty substandard Halloween here. There were no good costumes and not much enthusiasm. We had to thrust candy on people just to get rid of it.

My Halloween was AWESOME! Well, except for the frozen into an icicle part. Yeah, I went TOTing for an hour, got tons of candy, got frozen, went home, thawed out, sorted candy, and ate some candy! I was I dragon tamer, by the way. My costume had this long sparkly cape-it was so cool.

0.o I went babysitting on Halloween, and got to answer the door for their family, and then, really late, these two kids my age (About 13-14 ish) rang the doorbell. It happens that they were two kids I had known in Elementary School, where they were the “popular” kids. (One of them, Alex, his name was, watched “Austin Powers at the age of 3… and constantly from then on. Explains why he is so demented. Really disturbing kid….) And the Alex dude said, with this TERRIBLE lisp and the worst nasally voice you have ever heard (It wasn’t part of his costume, either, it was his REAL voice…. Not so popular now, are you, weirdo?) “Hey, I knowth you frum elementhary, huh?”
I said, “……Yyyeeeaaaahhhhh………..”
And then the other kid, who had greasy hair and face, and terribly ugly dreadlocks said, “Yeah, I remember you, you’re (insert real name here)”
“……Yeah…….” I said again, “You want some candy or not?”
“Do you thtill go to thchool?” said Alex.
“…..Yeahh…… But I go to a charter school, so that’s why you don’t see me,” I said, praying that they would just LEAVE.
“That’th cool. Thtay in thchool. Thchool ith cool,” Alex whatshisname said.
“……Riiiiight…….. Do you want some candy or not?” I said, once again.
“Okay. Thanks. Bye.” said the Dreadlock Dude.
I still don’t know who HE was, but I must have known him, he just looks lots uglier now. 0.o Really creepy…. (Not that I was worried about being kidnapped or anything, the person I was babysitting for was in the garage working on some big project and the kids were right behind me, but still………)
I think they were the people who smashed our pumpkins too.
MY BEAUTIFUL KOKOPELLI PUMPKIN DIED!!!! WAAAAHHH!!!!
At least we got pictures….. *sigh* And my five-year-old brother’s pumpkin lived, so he is not traumatized, just me and my sister. I have never had that happen before.

59) “But nothing else I said.” ?!?! Bad grammar! Bad grammar! “But nothing else I said had any mistakes,” is what you should have said.
I know my English. And Math, and all that jazz. I am not only the smartest kid in many of my classes (Darn that Jarom! Making all of us look like fools in History! All right, he is one of my best friends, but he is AMAZING at History. As in ask him any question, he will know the answer right off the top of his head. Kinda reminds me of Otzi.) but I have gotten A’s all my life in all my classes. Even Kindergarten.
Plus, trumpets rock. There is nothing else to it. And orchestra has four instruments. FOUR!!! While you little stringies people sound pretty sad by yourselves, add a few trumpets and other band instruments and BAM!!! We sound awesome.
And band alone sounds just as good as band with orchestra. Maybe even better. So there.
Zyka wins.

I wasn’t going to go trick-or-treating, but I was going to pass out candy, so I got all dressed up for that (I was a vampire.), and was just passing out the candy, as planned, when this group of teenagers came up. I gave them their candy, turned to my mom, and said, “I can’t take it anymore.” I then dashed to my room, grabbed a bag, and left. That’s my Halloween story!

I made a Kok’o’launturn! I spent, like, 40 minutes just carving it. It turned out pretty good, if I do say so my self. I carved it negative, with Kokopelli standing in an empty circl so he would block the candle on the inside. I’ll send a picture to the GAPA. Umm…maybe. Wot was their email? GAPA at somthing?

44- Um, that is so not true. And I have the SAT scores to prove it. Last year, all three of the all-state orchestras had higher scores (about 100 points higher) than the four bands. Orchestra is so much better than band. For one thing, we don’t have to march outside in 100º heat wearing wool uniforms..
So, this girl in my chemistry class took her younger brother trick-or-treating. She’s 16. Her brother is 7. An old lady down the street looks at them, and says to her, “Oh, you’re taking your son trick-or-treating?”
x_x
She was like “NO! He’s my brother!” and the old lady gave her a weird look and a long speech about abstinance..

I went to the halloween dance at my school as Marylin Monroe. I almost said I was Marilyn Mansen. He’s scary. And pale. And totally creepy. But when I went trick or treating I was a cowgirl.

Alright, here’s my long, detailed Halloween story.
I didn’t think I would be doing anything Tues evening, but then my friend asked me if I wanted to go trick-or-treating downtown. So then I had to make a costume – and fast! It actually turned out pretty goode – I decided to be The Doll From Hell. After riffling through all of the closets in the house, I came across a pale pink, lacy nightgown – I ended up slicing off the bottom sixteen inches of it, so it was kinda short and frayed-looking. Then I found this really easy recipe for fake blood (Half cup corn syrup, one tsp red foode colouring, few drops blue foode colouring), and spattered some on the nightgown. Then I found this olde uniform shirt I had to wear back when I went to Our Lady of Corporal Punishment Skool…Thoroughly enjoyed slicing holes in that and covering it w/ blood…; ) So I wore those over a black shirt + leggings, along w/ my mary janes. My friend helped me put my hair in these little pigtails w/ lopsided ribbons. Then I put some clown white on my face, and painted on some freakishly long eyelashes/eyeliner + kinda smudged it down my face a bit.
We got a heckuva lot of candy trick-or-treating – Mia and I probably look about fourteen, at least when dressed up as we were (She was a black cat), so ppl were nice to us.
Her friend picked us up, and we went to the theater and watched Saw 3 – Ohhhh *Moans* I’ve seriously nvr beene that scared while watching a movie! :S :S :S It was absolutely grotesque…Oh gosh I don’t even want to talk about it; nvm. We got so freaked out that we immeiately went out + got tickets for Employee of the Month afterward – in order to clear our minds. But then her mom came to pick us up, so we didn’t get to see it. And now I’m thinking about Saw againe :S.
…X:( OK, I was getting ready for bed last night, and my LB sneaks up behind me and whispers “Would you like to play a game?” I just about killed him there…And of course he tried to do it again about five min later…only this time he was like “Would you like to…have some pudding?” XD Heh. Can’t live w/ him, can’t live w/o him.

Oooh, pudding. I like pudding. I made some a few days ago, I think I’ll have it for dessert. I’m sorry, what were we talking about? Does it involve Choklit? Sorry, I must go eat pudding now.

I just noticed “Halloweeen” has three e’s. I sure am bright today…
Ok I’m bored. Here is my (not so long) story of halloween:
So my one friend and her sister come up with the idea of being “Dixie Chickens” for halloween. We’d be like cowgirls/chickens… it was a wierd idea but we didn’t have anything better, so we decided to do it. Then another friend invited me to a halloween party i really wanted to go to, but i already said i’d go with my other two friends… so i had to decline, unfortuanately. So untill a week before halloween we never mentioned anything, and then I’m like, “AAH! Halloween is next week!” so we had to go buy boots (they were killer boots with 4 inch heels) for our costume. Plus a shirt. Then we decided we wouldn’t do the chicken part, and we’d just be dixie chicks. but not everyone knows who the dixie chicks are, so we ended up being cowgirls/squaredancers. we didn’t even have our full costume till the sunday before.
Then we went trick or treating in our neighborhood, but for some reason our messed up park club decided to have halloween on saturday instead, so we had to walk down 4 streets till we actually found people with candy. My giganto heels were killing me and we didn’t get much candy. but it was fun, for the most part. i’m still really mad i missed the halloween party though.
i guess this was long. i normally don’t post long things like this, but here you go.

Shweet! I spent around 30 minutes carving it, so it had better be perfect. Or I’d shoot myself. Seriously. After it was done I got bored and VF sugessted I carve somthing around the circle, so I put those little half-moon things in. Now it sort of looks like he;s inside a pie. Cool, eh? Okay, fine, I’ll stop gloating.

114- Ahh, but that was just carving. Drawing and finishing ot up took about another 45 min.
Yay again!
First post?
Why are there three “e”s?
As I’ve said, I’m being Urania. I’m wearing this awesome toga. Light gray fabric underneath, light purple fabric with stars on top. I have a cheesy kaleidoscope that looks sort of like a telescope. It looks enough like one to work, anyway…
KANDY KORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m so excited for ze kandi. And everything else. W00t!
Sorry to triple post, but I forgot to tell everyone about ze green umbrella. I have a green umbrella. How cool is that?
2- Cool! i doubt many people would know who you are though.
I’m going to be a duck for the 5th year in a row.
THF (2),
The third “e” was a mistake. Now that I see it, though, I like it. It’s distinctive. I think I’ll leave it.
I am going to be Kokopelli! And since THF (my sister) is Urania, I’ll get to pie her! yay! But I don’t get to go trick-or-treating for very long because I have choir rehersal
i hate anything misspelled
I am Octavian Webb, Alchemist and Spider Trainer. Hilarious, bushy white wig, long black cape, black shirt and pants, dress shoes, tarantula on shoulder, cheesecloth waistcoat w/ spider buttons, purple spider-motif sash.
4 – I know. Some people do. But not many, and no one will recognize me, even if they do know who Urania is. ‘Cause remember – she was an old muse too. Also – the toga is pretty distinctive, and they’ll get that, even if they don’t get the right character.
5 – I definitely agree. Especially since it’s after Halloween, so and extra kind of fits…sorta…I think so, anyway.
7 – Does “i” count as mispelled when referring to yourself?
I’m going to be a Dekranian warrior. A red sleeveless tube top, a blue shimmery miniskirt, and fishnets over purple tights. Also included are green gauntlets, a green belt for the weapons, and a green headband. I’m still working on most of this.
My mom made up something called the Halloween Fairy. You trade is 3/4ths of your candy and get a present. I think I want an iPulse this year.
I don’t know if I’ll beg in costume; I have drivers’ ed. But if I do, I’ll be either Quail Man, a faerie [again!], a lumberjack, or a doll. All of which require almost zero effort.
If I had more time, I’d make a Ziggy Stardust costume.
Being Koko would be fun. Maybe next year? I could wear a black skirt with black leggings and carry a black flute and spray my hair black and put it into six spikes. Sounds like fun for next year.
I am going as a black creature. Black wings, black clothes, stiped facepaint, blue swirls across my arms if its warm enough to not wear a sweatshirt. Highly reflective designs on the wings (just to make my parentals happy). Fangs that are about one inch long.
Since this is my last year (grumbl) I will be trying to go out with a bang. Of couse next year I will be hanging wwith my friends (read: getting candy in any way possible). I’m only 13!!!
ima be the “bring out ur ded” guy from MP. ya know, dude with dead guys on cart, says “bring out ur dead”anyhoo, my mom ha this hat that looks exactly like what a midevil peasent would wear, and i got a wheelbarrow, and some styrofoam dummies. or, i could just be dude with hooded cloak. but thts borring. im going trickortreating in the east village! w00t! so, theres actually bizillions of adults in costume, and really cool ones at that. and you get to go into stores, and say “trickortreat” and get candy. twill be fun.
*Ahem*
For halloweeen, I will be
A LUMBERJACK!
(Who’s OK)
Basically, a lumberjack.
(With high heels)
13~ AWESOME!
i’m going as a dragon (pwease respond) this is a “smiley” dragon >->>>>>>
|_| |_|
i’m going as a dragon (pwease respond) this is a “smiley” dragon >->>>>>>

Ooh. If u guys are being MP characters, then next year I’ll be Cardinal Fang.
“You are hereby charged…”
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrghggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my dragon didn’t work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (sorry about triple post)
I’m going as an egyptian goddes with a lions head red hair lions mask + green dress
14- Hah, yeah, that was what I was thinking of doing…
20- Are you new? *pies* Cool costume idea!!!! Bast influence?
(2, 6,8,10, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20) Those all sound like excellent costumes. Brilliant ideas, my friends, I like the way you folks think.
(11) Go as Quail Man! Ha. I think it’s sign of being a little kid in the 90s that you go as Quail Man for halloween.
I’m going as the Planters Peanut Man with my friend. We made our costumes out of burlap and we made a can out of chicken wire to go around us. It’s gonna be schweet.(…or rather, salty-*is pied*)
I have band practice until 6:30, and we’re all going to where our costumes (or at least the cool people will). And we’re practicing street marching, so we’ll all be walking down the road in costume, and it will be a big parade of crazy band people for all the world to see. Yay!
Righto, here’s Kiki’s Kok-o’ lantern:
oooh perdy
18~ I tried and tried to get my friends to be the Spanish inquisition with me, but they were selfishly being SOMETHING ELSE!!!
There are two ways of being the Spanish Inquisition:
1. (Monty Python way) Dress up as a bunch of dudes in red with crosses
2. Have one person dress up as a matador (Spanish) and the other person be a giant question mark made of papier mache (Inquisition)!
Ooooh! *skips off to make Kok-o’ launturn* Shweet! *prints off picture of Koko to copy* Mebbie if it works I’ll send in a pic too. *admires Kiki’s*
Wows.
That’s awesome, Kiki!
Actually, the best MP costume I could think of would be a gang of Hell’s Grannies.
Or vicious keep-left signs.
Kiki,
Magnificent Kokolantern! How did you do that?
Toast Kiki! That’s awesome!
phew. I just finished my peanut costume. It was pretty last minute. Still, I’m proud of it. I won’t be able to take a picture until Halloween night, which means I won’t be able to e-mail my entry into the Muse contest until late at night, so hopefully that’s ok…
I don’t have a costume. But at the last minute, i decided to wear a cape cuz cape’s are pretty darn sveet. So i dug out the big grey cape that uncle john gave us. It’s too long and i’ll trip over it multiple times. But oh well. Oh, and while i was digging through my random boxes for the cape (yes, it’s been a year already and i still have boxes of random junk. Deal with it) i found my spyglass! So i’m a cape-wearing spyglass-user. The eyepiece fell off. I managed to find it, but it took forever because a box of legos broke and there were all these tiny pieces the same size as the eyepiece floating around the bottom of the box. Oh and i found my pwetty rock, the one i forget what kind it is. It’s like polished and streaky and pinkish. Found a load of old letters too, mostly from camp cuz that’s the only place i write letters. Oh and chapstick. Haven’t used chapstick since we moved. Not that i used it much anyway, but i did once in a while when parentals forced me. I found all sorts of other little things too, but i won’t bore y’all with them. Needless to say, when i was done they went back into the box, not put away.
There are three of these boxes, and they were the 2-day before “oh [insert fav expletive here], we’re leaving in 2 days and all this has to be packed!” So i started throwing things in randomly. Surprisingly, very few things broke. Probably because all the fragile stuff had been packed earlier.
Anyhoo. I’ve wandered terribly off topic. Today i’m going to andy’s with cheese and jacob. We’re going to freak out trick-or-treaters. He said he had one of those huge plastic inflatable bats on a string in a tree that he could drop on/around people. Sounds interesting.
This just stinks! My The Legend of Zelda Young Link costume hasn’t arrived in the mail, it probably won’t tonight, and that means I’m probably just gonna have to use the shield I made!
Thank you, thank you verry much. Well, I traced out Koko’s shape, and my mom cut it out, with much work. She was very frustrated afterwards, and she said I owe her. It was a thick pumpkin.
whoa kiki, awesome!!!
i’m going as a cowgirl….. boo for me, i’m boring.
I’m going to be a fly. You knowm the kind that flys and goes buzz. I look really cool! Did yuou guys know that it is illegal to go trick or treating past age 13?!
I’m going as the raven from Edgar Allen Poe’s poem.
Haha, i took my cape to skool today. Then at lunch everybody wanted to try it on, so i let them. Then leo stole it and was Fat Man!!! (yes, you need the exclamation points) (he had an amazing hat on that looked amazing with the cape) (oh and we weren’t dissing him, he chose the name himself) so i let him borrow it until the end of the day. It was so funny. But Jacob took my spyglass because he’s going as a Pirate Squirrel. That’s going to be great. He looks a lot like a squirrel. It’s kind of skary. All he has to do is wear brown and put a tail on. And a pirate hat. Cheese ditched us for Ellison’s cuz that’s where kirschner was going, but Hunter’s going to andy’s with us. And matt might. And i’m going to try and drag jacob and andy to jazz band afterwards, b/c trick-or-treating ends at 7:30 and jazz band’s at 8. *evil plotting*
So apparently andy has a large plastic inflatable baseball bat that we’re going to drop out of the tree and freak ppl out with. Should be interesting.
I love halloween. Candy is my life.
CHOOOOOOKLIIIIIIT!!!!
36- I’m trick-or-canning which means I’m collecting cans for a foodshelf.
One of my colleagues is dressed up like a pirate. She isn’t talking like a pirate but she IS slashing her cutlass like a pirate. I’m going to wait until tomorrow to talk with her about the edits I’ve made in her article.
On the other hand, I might just go in and talk to her now. I’ve got on fierce and fuzzy “bearfoot” bedroom slippers with severely daunting toenails. I’ll probably intimidate her, cutlass notwithstanding.
I am going as the scariest thing I can think of: a band person. People in marching band look just like any innocent person, most of the time, but every friday evening they don dorky costumes and carry out weird rituals involving something that they seem to think is music and moving around in formation. They also infest the hallway leading to the room where the poor orchestra students keep their instruments, makeing it really stinky and difficult to navigate. Yesterday they conspired to form the densest crowd ever to prevent orchestra students (especially non-pushy ones like me) from crossing and made a lame excuse about wanting to find out if they made symphonic band (they call it “sym” band to confuse string intrumentalists, but we figured it out because we are smarter than them). For all this they get big rooms to rehearse in, full time teachers, lockers for their instruments, and generally more support from all levels of school administration. Errg.
I have a Kokopelli jack-o-lantern, too! AND I dressed up as Kokopelli! Not the greatest costume, but is still awesome. My sister was the only one who knew who I was, but IT WAS SO TOTALLY WICKED!!! I can’t wait to go trick-or-treating!
42) Ummmm, you shouldn’t have said that….
Because now I have to KILL YOU!!!!
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!!! BAND PEOPLE ARE THE BEST!!!!!! You are dementedly weird. Symphonic Band is awesome, I would be out there in the halls if the band teacher had just posted who had gotten in, too! AND I do know that band gets more support, because I am in both band and orchestra. But I DO know one thing. This is: BAND IS WAY SMARTER THAN ORCHESTRA!!!!! WAAAAYYYY SMARTER!!!!
Prepare to get creamed. Be glad you don’t know me in real life.
And you spelled “making” wrong. M-A-K-I-N-G!
And you capitalize Symphonic and Band, it is a title of a coolio band group.
But it is rubbing off on you. You dressed up as one.
Never mind. My costume arrived around noon and my dad brought it to school while the student council set the halloween party up. It’s cool!
12 – Last year I was black – and white. It was an awesome costume.
13 – Sonds awesome!
Kiki, tis an awesome punkin! Mine was basically the same, but Koko was thinner, he faced the other side, and he was inside a pie. And he had longer spiky thingys.
44 – Excuse me? Orchestra is AWESOME, with capital A-W-E-S-O-M-Es! Even if I’m not the best at orchestra….hehe…
I was very proud of my pumpkin. It looked nothing like the Muse Koko, because I didn’t have anything to base him off of (in other words, he was free-drawn), but it was still cool.
I got
way too much candy.a ton of candy. Not quite enough, though.My brother’s dementor costume got stuck on every bit of stair, and it was a bit hard to hold the pillowcase and the umbrella without dropping everything.
Everyone thought that the umbrella wasn’t part of my costume, because it was raining. It would have made more people ask about it if it wasn’t raining.
I got plenty of candy. OMG there was a bunch of it.
Well. I went TOTing from 5:30 to 7:20, even though in my town it’s illegal to go past 7:00. I went with about five other girls. Liz was a cheerleader, Molly was Jadestone Greenleaf, a character she made up, Rebecca was an angel, Rebecca’s friend that nobody knew was a wizard, Sara was a princess, and I was a Dekranian warrior. We also met up with Maggie’s party, but not for long. We went down B******* (my street), the cul-de-sac of aforementioned street, and then we went down K*******(Sara’s street). We culminated at Sara’s house. I got exactly 100 pieces of candy, and my bro (who didn’t go with me) got 125.
I got, like, 5 pieces. But that’s because I only got to go for a little while because I had choir rehersal. And it was POURING RAIN!
But that’s ok
I was Koko, and THF was Urania, so I got to constantly pie her with my aluminum-pie-tin-and-paper-plate-colored-to-look-like-a-pie-pie. It was fun.
Ahem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! anyone read post 16? i asked you to respond !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DRAGONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
48- COOL PIE woops left caps lock on
candy yummy. i like snickers. and all other chocolate.
42-Band people ROCK! As in-we’re all insane. XD Next year we’re gonna get eric to do a thrust command (Band! Pelvic thrust, 1, 2! (band shouts 1, 2!)) And next year peter’s coming back too! And next year we only have one freshie trumpet.
But this isn’t a band rant.
So, my halloween…come home, read, etc. Eating dinner, hunter calls at 5 and goes “where are you, shouldn’t you be at andy’s house?” i was like “um…i thought it was 5:30” and he’s like “No, 4:30” so i go “meh, nobody told me!!!” then of course he insisted he did, i protested he didn’t, we said never mind, see you in a bit. Parentals aren’t home, i get bike and ride over. Then of course i can’t find the street. (it’s way farther west than i thought…it’s like past the elementary skool. so of course i’m going back and forth looking for it before i finally decide to try a bit farther on) by then it’s pouring rain and parentals call. So i have to stop, because i’m holding my cape in one hand (no, i wasn’t wearing it. it would’ve gotten caught in the gears or something) and i’m not skillaged enough to ride with no hands. Plus i wasn’t about to start trying as it was extremely wet and slippery and there were lots of high skool/college kids driving very quickly towards other parts of the area so that nobody would recognize them and laugh at them for trick-or-treating.So i get a loooooong lecture about calling before i leave the house-i was going to call when i got there, but of course mom had to get home early that day..*sigh* and then i finally got there at like 5:30. So then we took turns operating the bat (the string had to be pulled from the upstairs window) and putting on masks and twirling metal poles around and poking the stuffed skeleton guy full of dart holes (apparently andy has a blow gun. Why anybody would trust him with a dangerous weapon is beyond me). Oh and we saw billy on halloween patrol! Then we went inside and ate pizza and started to watch oceans 12 but we didn’t get very far because carmen (andy’s dog) kept coming in and trying to steal our food. So we kind of stopped watching the movie and ate candy and watched geeky videos on andy’s comp instead. then i went to jazz band (half an hour late, shame. but hewitt didn’t go at all. stupid hewitt). It was pretty much three saxes (carrie, cheese, and kirschner), four trumpets (billy, peter, carolynn, and moi) both our drummers (jake and danny clark) one guitarist whom i forget the name of (shameful. she’s really cool too. i talk to her. i just forget her name. i’ll probably remember it five minutes before i fall asleep), and schneids. that’s…11 people. Oh and one trombone player (Peaches!!!) 12. Durn, hewitt should’ve come! there would’ve been 13 people! Anyhoo, now i’m staying up until midnight waiting for the start of nano. Weisman and i are having a contest to see who can get 100 words first. so yep, that’s halloween. Wow, long rant…
46) WHAT are you TALKING about?!?!?!?! *pies THF and niugnep* Those were SUGAR FREE PIES, people, SUGAR FREEE PIES!!!!!
*hands Ebeth 500 sugar free pies and 2000 delicious choklit and random other pies* There, throw those at those two “Orchestra” people. I love the trumpet! I have only been playing for one year, and am in Jazz Band and, if I may say so, purty darn good.
GAPAS, before I asked nicely, now I DEMAND we have a Band thread!
Someone at my school was a tetris block. It was amazing.
Oh, and also, did you know that someone in my class DRESSED UP AS MONTY PYTHON?!?!?! COOOOOLIO!!!!
My hallowe’en:
stay after school; go to friend’s house with other friend; goes trick-or-treating as a crossdressing lumberjack; freeze to death and back; get hit on by random dude; go back to friend’s house; give away almost all (keeping peanut buttery ones) candy, go home, give out candy, get cold, go into room, blog.
It’s going to be murder, getting rid o’ this eyeliner.
I
I got a reeses cup with a (I kid you not) handwritten label on it saying this:
THE BEST TREAT!
JESUS LOVES YOU!
Urgh. I have such a low tolerance for sugar. I’ve eate three pieces and I can’t go on any more. Now, it all goes to my friends.
44. I’m sorry for the spelling error, but nothing else I said. Band thinks it’s all that because it’s spoiled. It’s like John Reed and Jane Eyre. John can totally pulverize Jane, but Jane is still a cooler character. So far Band-Orchestra vote: 3-2. That ratio is somewhat smaller than the ratio of players at my school anyway.
I don’t know about wherever y’all live, but we had a pretty substandard Halloween here. There were no good costumes and not much enthusiasm. We had to thrust candy on people just to get rid of it.
My Halloween was AWESOME! Well, except for the frozen into an icicle part. Yeah, I went TOTing for an hour, got tons of candy, got frozen, went home, thawed out, sorted candy, and ate some candy! I was I dragon tamer, by the way. My costume had this long sparkly cape-it was so cool.
Orchestra ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
59) Actually, it’s kinda like an Artemis Fowl – Opal Koboi relationship. Artemis Fowl can totally pulverize Opal Koboi AND is cooler, AND is smarter!
Plus he gets all the support.
(Band=Artemis Fowl)
57- cool
57- cool your rihgt he does
I thought it was kind of odd. You know, just the fact that somebody took the time to handwrite that on several hundred plus pieces of candy. Plus, my city doesn’t tend to have alot of people who would do something like that.
0.o I went babysitting on Halloween, and got to answer the door for their family, and then, really late, these two kids my age (About 13-14 ish) rang the doorbell. It happens that they were two kids I had known in Elementary School, where they were the “popular” kids. (One of them, Alex, his name was, watched “Austin Powers at the age of 3… and constantly from then on. Explains why he is so demented. Really disturbing kid….) And the Alex dude said, with this TERRIBLE lisp and the worst nasally voice you have ever heard (It wasn’t part of his costume, either, it was his REAL voice…. Not so popular now, are you, weirdo?) “Hey, I knowth you frum elementhary, huh?”
I said, “……Yyyeeeaaaahhhhh………..”
And then the other kid, who had greasy hair and face, and terribly ugly dreadlocks said, “Yeah, I remember you, you’re (insert real name here)”
“……Yeah…….” I said again, “You want some candy or not?”
“Do you thtill go to thchool?” said Alex.
“…..Yeahh…… But I go to a charter school, so that’s why you don’t see me,” I said, praying that they would just LEAVE.
“That’th cool. Thtay in thchool. Thchool ith cool,” Alex whatshisname said.
“……Riiiiight…….. Do you want some candy or not?” I said, once again.
“Okay. Thanks. Bye.” said the Dreadlock Dude.
I still don’t know who HE was, but I must have known him, he just looks lots uglier now. 0.o Really creepy…. (Not that I was worried about being kidnapped or anything, the person I was babysitting for was in the garage working on some big project and the kids were right behind me, but still………)
I think they were the people who smashed our pumpkins too.
MY BEAUTIFUL KOKOPELLI PUMPKIN DIED!!!! WAAAAHHH!!!!
At least we got pictures….. *sigh* And my five-year-old brother’s pumpkin lived, so he is not traumatized, just me and my sister. I have never had that happen before.
59) “But nothing else I said.” ?!?! Bad grammar! Bad grammar! “But nothing else I said had any mistakes,” is what you should have said.
I know my English. And Math, and all that jazz. I am not only the smartest kid in many of my classes (Darn that Jarom! Making all of us look like fools in History! All right, he is one of my best friends, but he is AMAZING at History. As in ask him any question, he will know the answer right off the top of his head. Kinda reminds me of Otzi.) but I have gotten A’s all my life in all my classes. Even Kindergarten.
Plus, trumpets rock. There is nothing else to it. And orchestra has four instruments. FOUR!!! While you little stringies people sound pretty sad by yourselves, add a few trumpets and other band instruments and BAM!!! We sound awesome.
And band alone sounds just as good as band with orchestra. Maybe even better. So there.
Zyka wins.

Gracious, I accidentally wrote “Me and my sister” didn’t I? I meant, “My sister and I” I wish a GAPA would fix it…… *innocent whistle*
59- I’ll assume that’s a complement. Thanks ^.^
hmm.. having a chocolate low. Will go and pilfer leftover candy. We went through 7 1/2 bowls o’ it, feeding the trick-or-treaters.
mmm.. back now…candy. I never eat candy, so I’m trying to adjust…
I was in helsinki during halloween. Nothing happened.
72-That too bad. You should totally go to people’s houses tonight, and be like, “What? I’m 2 days late?! Darn that International Dateline!”, and I bet they’d either actually believe you, or get really mad at you…or maybe they’d get mad at you either way.
I wasn’t going to go trick-or-treating, but I was going to pass out candy, so I got all dressed up for that (I was a vampire.), and was just passing out the candy, as planned, when this group of teenagers came up. I gave them their candy, turned to my mom, and said, “I can’t take it anymore.” I then dashed to my room, grabbed a bag, and left. That’s my Halloween story!
bleh……. i am still sick from eating too much candy, but this year wasd my last year to go tho
72-Poor baby. I have no sympathy.
I hate Halloween. (Gasp! she said it…)
74- omg i am so sorry for you
i am going trick or treating for many years
you are never to old until people stop giving you candy
i would like to say SCORE for allll the candy i got
i must have gotten 100 woppers
and i have stached my candy
i was a chic-fil-a cow (is that how u spell chic-fil-a) and it was creepy people kept saying woah, cow, chic-fil-a, billboards, famous, cool AUGH it got annoying very annoying
i went to the ginourmus big houses near ummmm some place and got a lotta candy.and complements!!!!go complements
47- Well, I have to agree that your friend Molly’s name was awsome.
I made a Kok’o’launturn! I spent, like, 40 minutes just carving it. It turned out pretty good, if I do say so my self. I carved it negative, with Kokopelli standing in an empty circl so he would block the candle on the inside.
I’ll send a picture to the GAPA. Umm…maybe. Wot was their email? GAPA at somthing?
44- Um, that is so not true. And I have the SAT scores to prove it. Last year, all three of the all-state orchestras had higher scores (about 100 points higher) than the four bands. Orchestra is so much better than band. For one thing, we don’t have to march outside in 100º heat wearing wool uniforms..
So, this girl in my chemistry class took her younger brother trick-or-treating. She’s 16. Her brother is 7. An old lady down the street looks at them, and says to her, “Oh, you’re taking your son trick-or-treating?”
x_x
She was like “NO! He’s my brother!” and the old lady gave her a weird look and a long speech about abstinance..
I went to the halloween dance at my school as Marylin Monroe. I almost said I was Marilyn Mansen. He’s scary. And pale. And totally creepy. But when I went trick or treating I was a cowgirl. It was way too cold to wear a dress. I actually don’t care for Halloween that much. It was OK. TOODLES 4 NOW: Sarah
i was Othello the Moor of Venice.
turban, makeshift pants, boots, clip on earring, ring, snake armlet, silk doublet, exotic cape attached with brooch.
made it myself: there are lots of hidden safety pins.
I was a colonial person. woot. I met one of my friends trick or treating though, that was cool. We hadn’t planned that and it was kinda’ funny, meeting my pal at my grandma’s neighbor’s house!!!
I did get alot of candy. Mainly chocolate. Do any of you peeps live in Robinson or Waco Texas? I was just wondering because none of my friends have even heard of MUSE before. Isn’t that messed up? TOODLES 4 NOW:Sarah
Oh, I had one of the best (and wildest) Halloweens of my life. It was superfantastic.
Remember, remember, The Fifth of November!!
My Koko pumpkin died.
But I still have the pictures st least. Poor Koko, snaped off at the waist…
I carved my pumpkin to look like the cat’s face on the cover of the New Yorker.
[new yorker cover has a black cat looking in a mirror and being scared because it saw a black cat.]
MY PUMPKIN IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!
i have pics but don’t think there’s a way to put them on here. or is there? I’ll try w/ another post so i don’t mess this one up.
it didnt work!!!
i didn’t have a pumpkin…
85: Totally. Awesome movie.
87- send them to the GAPA and maybe they can put them up for you. I sent one of my pumpkin to the GAPA too. Their emil is gapa @ musefanpage . com but without any of the spaces.
How do you post a picture on here? I have some really awesome pics I would like to show.
[Send them to gapa@musefanpage.com, and we’ll get around to posting them eventually. Probably. –Admin.]
Alright, here’s my long, detailed Halloween story.
I didn’t think I would be doing anything Tues evening, but then my friend asked me if I wanted to go trick-or-treating downtown. So then I had to make a costume – and fast! It actually turned out pretty goode – I decided to be The Doll From Hell. After riffling through all of the closets in the house, I came across a pale pink, lacy nightgown – I ended up slicing off the bottom sixteen inches of it, so it was kinda short and frayed-looking. Then I found this really easy recipe for fake blood (Half cup corn syrup, one tsp red foode colouring, few drops blue foode colouring), and spattered some on the nightgown. Then I found this olde uniform shirt I had to wear back when I went to Our Lady of Corporal Punishment Skool…Thoroughly enjoyed slicing holes in that and covering it w/ blood…; ) So I wore those over a black shirt + leggings, along w/ my mary janes. My friend helped me put my hair in these little pigtails w/ lopsided ribbons. Then I put some clown white on my face, and painted on some freakishly long eyelashes/eyeliner + kinda smudged it down my face a bit.
We got a heckuva lot of candy trick-or-treating – Mia and I probably look about fourteen, at least when dressed up as we were (She was a black cat), so ppl were nice to us.
Her friend picked us up, and we went to the theater and watched Saw 3 – Ohhhh *Moans* I’ve seriously nvr beene that scared while watching a movie! :S :S :S It was absolutely grotesque…Oh gosh I don’t even want to talk about it; nvm. We got so freaked out that we immeiately went out + got tickets for Employee of the Month afterward – in order to clear our minds. But then her mom came to pick us up, so we didn’t get to see it. And now I’m thinking about Saw againe :S.
…X:( OK, I was getting ready for bed last night, and my LB sneaks up behind me and whispers “Would you like to play a game?” I just about killed him there…And of course he tried to do it again about five min later…only this time he was like “Would you like to…have some pudding?” XD Heh. Can’t live w/ him, can’t live w/o him.
Oooh, pudding. I like pudding. I made some a few days ago, I think I’ll have it for dessert. I’m sorry, what were we talking about? Does it involve Choklit? Sorry, I must go eat pudding now.
I just noticed “Halloweeen” has three e’s. I sure am bright today…
Ok I’m bored. Here is my (not so long) story of halloween:
So my one friend and her sister come up with the idea of being “Dixie Chickens” for halloween. We’d be like cowgirls/chickens… it was a wierd idea but we didn’t have anything better, so we decided to do it. Then another friend invited me to a halloween party i really wanted to go to, but i already said i’d go with my other two friends… so i had to decline, unfortuanately. So untill a week before halloween we never mentioned anything, and then I’m like, “AAH! Halloween is next week!” so we had to go buy boots (they were killer boots with 4 inch heels) for our costume. Plus a shirt. Then we decided we wouldn’t do the chicken part, and we’d just be dixie chicks. but not everyone knows who the dixie chicks are, so we ended up being cowgirls/squaredancers. we didn’t even have our full costume till the sunday before.
Then we went trick or treating in our neighborhood, but for some reason our messed up park club decided to have halloween on saturday instead, so we had to walk down 4 streets till we actually found people with candy. My giganto heels were killing me and we didn’t get much candy. but it was fun, for the most part. i’m still really mad i missed the halloween party though.
i guess this was long. i normally don’t post long things like this, but here you go.
BweeHee!
i’m still not giving up on the whole trick-or-treating thing. i am too old. oh well
this year i was a gypsy. my friend was a dead ballerina.
Here’s another Kokolantern, this one from Jadestone:
97- It’s good, but not as good as mine… *cackle*
I’d send mine, too, but I don’t know where the pictures are on our computer…… *sadface* My parents also moved the computer UPSTAIRS so now I am all disoriented. I used to have all three computers right there, now they are all squonky.
COOL LANTERNS!!!!
97-that’s really good!
Oooh…
My lantern was made from a green pumpkin and had a shooting star cut into it. No pictures.
#97: W00t! That’s so cool!
haloween rox!!!!! (to some extent) i just got braces (*sob*) so i cant eat any of my KANDEEEE i saw the post abt. the JESUS LOVES YOU reeses… there was a sign on a door that said take one …GOD IS WATCHING!!! how creepy! to think that someone you cant see is watching your every move. btw, i didnt take any!
97 – It’s amazing! Good work, Jadestone!
– Sorry to dubble post, but I wanted to say one more thing: A picture of PP and my dad and I as Kokopelli, Chad, and Urania will eventually be sent to the GAPAs maybe during about February.
97 ehWOw, Jadestone, those are mad carving skills. Awesome!
Cool pumpkins.
99- Squonky?
Shweet! I spent around 30 minutes carving it, so it had better be perfect. Or I’d shoot myself. Seriously. After it was done I got bored and VF sugessted I carve somthing around the circle, so I put those little half-moon things in. Now it sort of looks like he;s inside a pie. Cool, eh? Okay, fine, I’ll stop gloating.
Hello ? any one there? Hello, or rather ALOHA!!!!! cuz i live in Hawaii!
I didnt go trick or treating OR make a pumpkin. I had to pass out candy.
THAT IS HOT!!!!! Sorry… AHem… I mean uh… that is uh… very nice… heh heh…

108 – Only 30 minutes? For me, I take about 5 or so hours. Or maybe closer to two. Whatever.
114- Ahh, but that was just carving. Drawing and finishing ot up took about another 45 min.
candycandycandycandycandycandycandycandycandycandycandy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Kok o’ lantern took about 2 hours total to make. Much longer than anyone expected, that’s for sure.
