[Public] Journal Entry: Amara Aquilla 10/21/2012

I have done much research on this Halloween holiday but I still cannot understand why people dress up in ridiculous costumes or why candy is involved. Is this some sort of entertainment? I have celebrated harvest festivals back home, but nothing like this.

Please shed some light on this if you would be so kind, classmates.

I did not say I would don a costume.

[om_quicksilver]

OMG so don't! Or do! Just talk to Ali, she can explain how all the costume things work and help you decide!

[om_magma]

Are you truly not making fun of my ignorance?

[om_quicksilver]

Trust me, when I make fun of someone I want them to know they're being made fun of. I do not do subtle.

Also, I wouldn't make fun of you, because you could kick my ass.

Baaasically I just want you to come to the party. I am telling you what will be there, and what I can help with. Literally. That.

[om_magma]

I am sorry for overreacting.

[om_quicksilver]

I am fully aware that my enthusiasm for all things party-related is overwhelming. Well, my enthusiasm for everything, basically.

And thanks, but it's cool. Remind me to tell you about pissing my sister off sometime.

[om_magma]

Too much attention makes me... edgy.

[om_quicksilver]

I am basically the personification of "too much attention". But, um, I'll... try?

[om_magma]

I am curious about dancing. Josh said he would fully explain.

[om_dazzler]

IT'S TRADITION!!!!

Just don't be a sexy crayon, I can't take that.

[om_magma]

A crayon cannot be attractive, it is a writing utensil. That much I know.

[om_dazzler]

Duh. We'll get you something beautiful and sexy, okay?

[om_magma]

Can I not just wear my normal clothing? Most people already think it is some sort of costume.

[om_dazzler]

Doesn't count.

[om_magma]

Why not?

[om_dazzler]

Halloween is when you're not supposed to be yourself.

[om_magma]

And what will you dress up as?

[om_dazzler]

I'm being a disco queen.

[om_magma]

And what would you suggest I dress as?

[om_dazzler]

You could be a nurse, a princess, a fairy, a rock singer, a vampire, a zombie, a ghost, a witch, a hippie...

There's tons of options, Amara. Those are only a couple!

[om_magma]

I do not even know where to begin.

[om_dazzler]

We'll go to a costume shop, and you can pick stuff out.
