they're creepy and they're kooky

devilish brent

deery-lou.
friday was our halloween party at ils. just like last year we had lots of witches and screams running around our hallways. creativity is definitely lacking. i was both delighted and surprised when one student came dressed up as a pirate. he actually looked like an employee from long john silvers. for fast food they had the best chicken/fish sticks. their breading was to die for. the children all seemed to be having a good time. who wouldn't when there was fun to be had. it didn't matter to them what people were wearing. instead of hearing the traditional "trick or treat" they liked to say "give me candy". their technique definitely needs some work. however, by the end of the day i got some of them to say "trick or treat". hopefully it'll stick. we played games, took pictures, and ate snacks. i ate so much pumpkin pie. i couldn't stop. its been a year since i had any. sally's mom bought us a pizza from pizza hut which was sooo good. it had sweet potatoes and other yummy stuff on it. at one point jk busted out a water gun and started shooting the kids. needless to say mayhem persued. children ran around screaming and were drenched just like our floors. after school we went to manhatten western bar. they were having a halloween party and offering a free cocktail for anyone dressed up. the things you do for a free cocktail. we were the only ones dressed up besides the staff. and they were all dressed as vampires, of course. one was wearing a cross with his costume. i made anna ask him why. he told her he was a 2,000 year old vampire. crosses don't affect the ancients. at least he had an answer. bravo to him. it was fun hanging out and drinking. after 8 vodka tonics i decided it was time to go. once i got home i immediately crashed. here's to yet one more halloween.

be well…
