Halloween And All That Goodness

So today I decided that I needed to find a Halloween costume for school right this very second, and if I didn't I'd explode. I didn't feel like buying a costume, because that would require me to either go to a store, or buy it off the internet and not get it on time. So I dug through my basement to try to find a costume.

Unfortunatly, there was only bits and pieces to random costumes. And there was this really pretty costume, but it was way too small on me. I should have known, seeing as I wore it when I was five. After that I decided to Google homemade halloween costumes to see if I could find something.

After looking without finding anything for what felt like five hours, I went back down to my basement and worked on my puzzle. My sister came downstairs (she was also looking for a costume for school) and showed me a dress that she found so she could be Barbie. "WHERE ON EARTH DID YOU GET THAT‽‽‽" I screamed/asked her. It was in the attic! So I raced up to the attic in hopes of finding a costume for myself. I found a few of my grandmother's old suits and thought maybe I could be someone from the 50's, but I wasn't quite satisfied with that.

And then, I found THE PERFECT TRENCHCOAT! It even had leather gloves in the pockets. So I'm being a detective. Yay!

So, after that, my sister and I decided that we would ghost her friend.

 (For all who don't know what ghosting is, it's where you fill a paper bag with candy and put a paper ghost in it. You put it on the doorstep of someone in your neighborhood, ring the doorbell and run and try to make sure they can't figure out who it's from. The person who recieved the bag has to put the paper ghost on their front door so everyone knows they've been ghosted and then has to ghost two other people in the neighborhood. If you're doing this for the first time in your neighborhood, it works best to give the person you're ghosting instructions so they don't think the candy is poisonus and call the cops. Although, they may still call the cops if they catch you and don't know whats going on.)

Anyways, my sister decided she didn't want to do the running part, and my mom was driving the getaway car, so I had to do it. Of course, I was expecting it, because that's how it always works. So we put on black clothes and drive to my sister's friend's house. (Note: We didn't actually have to drive there, but it works best if you have a getaway car.) I quietly open the car door and sneak out of it with the bag of candy. I try to walk as quietly as possible down there driveway. I'm about halfway to the front door, when I hear a bark. It's their dog, and it won't shut up! I figure that by then, my cover is blown, so I speedwalk to the door, ring the doorbell, and sprint as fast as I can to my car. While I'm sprinting, I'm terrified I'm going to run into a tree, because it was dark and a bit difficult to see. But I was fine, and all went well. It was awesome.

(Another note: The thing on the end of the sentence ""WHERE ON EARTH DID YOU GET THAT" is an interrobang. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interrobang)
