All of the Things

Hi.

Yesterday, I went to the Halloween Extravaganza at St. John the Divine Cathedral with Ella. It was really awesome, the costumes were amazing! We watched the original Dracula movie from 1922, Nosferatu, and, surprisingly, I didn't have trouble sitting through it without sound, and having to read the narrations. I figured out how to post video, so I thought I would include a video of the event in 2009. I had a lot of fun!

When I got home, it was still early, but by the time I went to bed, I was in a horrible mood. I was really upset about a lot of things, and I sometimes feel like I juggle all of the things by myself. I feel like I'm always so busy, as exhibited here, and I sometimes think that all of the momentary good things are just distractions from the bad things, and that when you're alone, it's easier to think about all of the bad things, than it is to think of the good things. Anyways, at that moment, I felt like I didn't have any distractions. What I don't understand is why the good things have to be distractions, and why they can't just be wholesome in my brain. Why do bad things have the ability to haunt, but good things are only momentary distractions?

I woke up half an hour before I needed to be at school today, so you can assume that I was still in a not amazing mood. I rushed to get dressed, and got a ride from a friend. We went to an environmental club event at Liberty State Park, where we did some weeding and gardening in exchange for some community service hours. There was a free luncheon afterwords at the Liberty Science Center, and we got to roam the exhibits for free! During the whole gardening part, I took a lot of pictures of Serena in action!

We went to one exhibit where you were crawling through these tunnels in the dark, and you had to try to make your way to the end. That, in particular, was a lot of fun, especially when Serena poked me in the eye! 

I also had pistachio ice cream for the very first time. It's in the in-betweens, for me. I sort of like it, but I sort of don't. It was decently edible, but it was weird. 

When I got back home, I hardly took a breath before I got Grace's (really tardy) email about a Halloween party at her church that Tulsi and I were invited to attend. It was a costume party, so I pulled together a cat costume, and I thought I looked very cute. Tulsi was Sally from "The Nightmare Before Christmas", and she looked awesome as well. She actually won the costume contest.

Grace has the awesomest little brothers by the way, they are so cute... Just so adorable. She certainly doesn't think so, but I do. 

Also, for the very first time in my life, I had banana cream pie. This, I believe, is momentous in a kid's life, because you hear about the pie in everything! Every T.V. show has a least one episode featuring someone licking banana cream pie of their faces. Also on the desert table, were these really uber adorable cupcakes.

I wish I could have had one, but I was weary because I've been eating so much sugar!

Anyways, the party was plenty fun, and now I just want to sleep. I should have given better details, I know, but I just couldn't. I'm exhausted.
