Halloween and Homecoming Parades!!!

It was so fun today! I got to skip school! I was really happy about that. XD Guard had the awesomest costumes ever (Julia = Tinkerbell, Lindsay = Tiger Lily, Ashlee = Peter Pan, Justine = sailor girl, Laura/Christine = angels, Esther = 1/2 angel 1/2 devil, Jessica = cat, Shine = vampire, Lori = Pikachu!, Alyssa = '80s girl, Colton = Zorro, Natalie = ladybug, Melanie/Ellen = poodle skirts, Haley = princess, McKenzie = gangster, Kimmi = marshmallow, and I was an earth fairy!).
Basically, we went to three elementary schools (Quail Run, Neil Armstrong, and Bollinger Canyon), and just did drop spins, carves, and the Cal fight song dance. The kids there are soooooooo adorable!!! It was really funny, because some of the little kids there had the same outfits, or similar ones to people in guard, so we were like, "Ooh _____, there's your brother/sister!" (Julia had like 20 little sisters, Lori had 3 little brothers, Yeaji had a little sister, Esther had a little sister, and Shine had a husband [Dracula]! XD)
Then we went to perform for the district office place, and I saw Mr. Hoy again! =D I didn't get to say hi though... Then we got dropped off by Lucky's for lunch, and everyone invaded McDonald's. XD We all went into the play area, and I reminiscenced about the time when I got lost in there and started crying. XP (By the way, McDonald's Sweet Tea is HELLA good! It's only a dollar too, and it's this big, huge cup.)
Afterwards, we went to Athens Down to prepare for the parade, which took us past Pine Valley and into Cal. It was REALLY fun. Sort of boring, since all we did was drop spins, turns, and carves, but whatever. I didn't really see anyone that I knew, except for Meghan. It was really funny though; it was pretty windy outside, so Ashlee's hat flew off into McKenzie's face. XD

Then Brendan and I went to visit people at Iron Horse, which, technically, we're not supposed to do (people not attending Iron Horse aren't allowed on campus during school hours, but all the high schoolers blatantly ignore that fact. XD). All of the science teachers were gone on a convention though, and Ms. Brown leaves at one... I couldn't fin Mrs. Keller either... =/ I visited Mrs. Goodhue, Mrs. MacDonald, Mme. Prochnow, Mrs. LaHive, Mrs. Beggs, and Mr. Matek. Then I tried to visit Mrs. Irwin, before I knew there was a sub, and the sub was all like, "Are you a 9th grader? You're not supposed to be here! Come back at 2:45!"

The football game went okay... The Song team is HELLA good. They're really freaky. I want to learn to dance like that... o.o I totally messed up and blanked out on the work, but none of our coaches were there, so I didn't get yelled at. XD Yay! It was soooo cold though! it doesn't help that we were wearing fishnet tops either... It was raining pretty heavily on and off though, so the woodwinds got ponchos to cover their instruments, and guard was freaking out about our flags. XD Then when we were done, the announcer was like, "Wasn't that awesome?" and I was like, "Uh... sure..." Then guard had to make this realy stupid "aisle" for the Homcoming King/Queen nominees to run through.

Afterward, Ellen and I went trick-or-treating, and we got a fairly good amount of candy. =D I swear though, people close their houses too early. =P I mean, come on, have some respect for the people who go ring your doorbell at 10pm!!! XDD

All in all, I had a really good day, and I'm really happy right now. I'm hecka excited for Homecoming too!!! Yay!!! I can't wait. =D
