Dear diary, November 2, 07

I haven’t written in here about what I have been doing lately. Last week, on Wednesday, I went to a football game at my sister’s school and we were playing another junior high school. It was our last game of the season. We were playing for city championship and guess what?! We got it! For the first time my school was undefeated! Isn’t that awesome! I think it was just because I went to the game! You know? Pretty awesome.

Mine and my sisters Halloween parry was last Saturday. I had tons of fun. At first I was kind of worried because I wasn’t sure if anyone was going to show up because these girls, named Chelsey and Paige, also had a Halloween party at the exact same time that my party was at. Except I guess they invited over one hundred people. I only invited eight and my sister only invited eight. And on Friday I only had two people who were coming for sure and the rest hadn’t asked their parents if they could come yet. So I was pretty nervous. But I had six people show up and my sister had three. My friends Nina, Kelsey, Yolanda, Jaclyn, Ana, and Rachel came. And my sister’s friends Paul, Sarah, and Brianna, came. I invited Rachel to come over early so she could help me put together my costume for the party. She came as a cowgirl with boots, hat and even a plastic gun. I was Captain Jack Sparrow from my favorite movie “Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl. Awhile ago my Nana got me the hair for the costume because I absolutely love him. And then I just wore jeans a tank top and a little brown jacket. I also had a eye patch and a hat but the hat kept falling off my head and I couldn’t see with the eye patch on my eye. So I basically only had a Captain Jack Sparrow wig. Nina and Jaclyn were jewel thieves, Yolanda dressed up like she was going to a masquerade ball, Kelsey was a clown, and Ana was Ugly Betty. My sisters friend Brianna was Velma from Scooby Doo, Paul was a detective/ inspector gadget, and Sarah was a witch but she looked like a grim reaper. My Nana and her boyfriend were Wilma and Fred form the Flinstones. My aunt Berta was a crazy thing with a black wig and glasses. My uncle Curt was a pirates just like me but he did a better job of his costume than me because he out did himself by doing his whole outfit. My other uncle Roger was a cowboy. My mom was the funniest person Right after everyone showed up we ate some sandwiches and split into teams to do skits. Skits is where you go off into a different room with your team and make up a funny little play that we call skits. Both teams perform their skit and who ever makes the other team laugh the hardest wins. There isn’t a prize but it is really fun. My team was Rachel, Ana, Kelsey and me of course. The other team was Nina, Jaclyn, Yolanda, and my sisters friend Brianna. My team put pillows under our shirts and did an exercise video, in the middle of the exercise workout Rachel pulled out her plastic gun and yelled Chocolate time, so we went and got chocolate and that made us skinny again. It wasn’t the funniest but it was sort of funny. The other group’s skit was Nina and Jaclyn (the jewel thieves) attacked Yolanda and stole her masque to her masquerade ball outfit, then Velma (Brianna) just chased the thieves down. It was okay. It was cool that they used their costumes with their skit unlike we did. When we went inside, my friend Kelsey was standing right in front of a candle I lit before the party and all of a sudden we all smell something burning. Brianna comes in and yells “YOUR ON FIRE!” she pats Kelsey’s hat really fast and puts out the fire but burns her hand. Luckily it was just her hat that caught on fire and not her hair. That was awful! I would have died if her hair caught on fire and she was bald in one spot on the back of her head. We also had a costume contest where we all voted on the creepiest, scariest, funniest, most original, and best costume. I don’t remember who got what but I think the best costume was either my uncle Curt (pirate) or Brianna (Velma). Those were really good costumes! We then played a game that you play at SkateLand where you play some music and put out numbers on the floor. You play music and than stop it really fast and people have to step on a number and a person calls out a number and if you are on that number, you are out. Well my sister was stopping the music and calling out the numbers and I was in charge of telling her when to stop the music and watching everyone. But when I was telling my sister to stop the music she was to busy talking to her friends that she wasn’t hearing me. So every time I told her to stop the music, I would have to yell at her and it was making me really mad. There were two prizes to this game. So my sister wanted to play it twice but it was taking forever just to finish one game. So I handed out the prizes to the last two players of the first game because I really didn’t want to spend another half hour yelling at my sister. It was about nine o’clock so my friends went in my front yard just to talk and stuff. We were out there for about five minutes when my Dad came home form work. He just said “Hi” and went inside. Than my neighbor John came out to empty his trash and he ended up staying outside with all of us. One by one people started leaving my party. But Kelsey and Ana were the only ones that needed to be picked up. Kelsey, Ana, my neighbor John, my sister Kelsey, and me were the only ones outside. My sister and Ana were obsessed with talking with John, I was getting annoyed because John wasn’t eve invited and my friend was paying more attention to him than she was me. Which sounds so dumb but because he was a guy she was constantly flirting with him. Some people think I like him now because they thought I was jealous but that is not true at all. I don’t like him and I was jealous but not like that. I was jealous because I wanted to talk to them and have them talk to me not Johnny. Well after everyone left my sister, John, and I stayed out till midnight just talking and stuff. That was pretty fun. John is funny when people aren’t all over him trying to get his attention. It was ridiculous. Except for my friend catching on fire and that game that took forever it was a really awesome night. A very fun party. I had a great time and I hope to throw another party.

Love,

Tayler!
