You know, I think Halloween is just a scam to make people buy candy in bulk and to make people fat. Just saying. That was kinda random. Anyway, so in French and Socials classes, my teacher is pretty cool and decided that we should watch a movie on Monday. I thought she meant something like Ghostbusters or Charlie Brown but apparently not. We watched a ton of trailers for these scary movies (which were not rated R) and I did my best not to freak myself out too much but that night (it was a Friday) I could not sleep. I read in bed until about 12pm and then thought I should turn out my light so I wouldn't bug Beth. I tried to sleep, I really did but every time I closed my eyes I saw snapshots of some of the parts that really creeped me out. I just lay awake for awhile but then I had to go pee. So when I was washing my hands, I came up with the idea to grab my pillow, a blanket, my book ('Heroes of Olympus Book 2: Son of Neptune' by Rick Riordan) and chill in the bathroom for awhile. I've only ever pulled one other one nighter and that was after we watched Nightmare On Elm Street. I thought I could do it again but at about 3:30am, I was so exhausted that I really had to go to bed. I managed to go to sleep after that.
My teacher finally decided on a movie to show us: The Signs. The trailer didn't look too bad but since I'm a wimp, I googled it and read about it on Wikipedia. Feeling prepared, I went into Socials class confident. You know, the movie wasn't terribly scary but I did scream once. I think the best part of that movie was the fact that Rory Culkin (Macaulay Culkin's brother) (who is really cute(like kid cute)) was in it.That night, it was basically a repeat of what had happened before except this time, I managed to sleep til about 1am when my alarm clock suddenly went off. I have a fairly big imagination and I started thinking about aliens and guys with knives and ghosts and I started getting really freaked out. This time, instead of chilling in the bathroom, I just stayed in my bed. I read ('Keeping the Moon' by Sarah Dessen) til about 4:30am when I decided to try and get some sleep. You know the problem about reading a book when you're a really tired is? You don't remember parts of it. I only remember about the last quarter or so of my book. Oh well, at least I can say I read it. I really just hate horror movies. The nightmares are kinda unpleasant and I just want to sleep. I've had about 8 or so hours of sleep combined in the past to days due to the cause that we watched signs and I had basketball practice really early this morning. Man this is a long post. Sooo ya Halloween is a horrible holiday. Except for the fact I get to eat a lot of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups which are uber delicious! Now I'm hungry so I'm gonna go scrounge up some food...

p.s. 2 days until they post the Division A team list!
A million things have happened this week! I can only tell you some of them, though, because I've been sworn to secrecy on the rest. The first order of business is that I won my basketball game today and I got a basket (it was epic)! Next, I'm kinda pissed at Leo because he's being a jerk to Chloe. He said that he wanted her to stop being his best friend but they could still be friends. Like what the heck??? He's being stupid about the whole situation. And finally, last but certainly not least, I have am no longer publicly recognized as Mandy's best friend. Chloe is her best friend. Every time she is asked who her best friend is or something like that, it's Chloe. When she says stuff like that, generally I'm right beside her. I just want to say "Scuse me but I'm right here and I thought I was your best friend, if not, then at least one of them!". I just don't feel... appreciated, I guess. I don't feel like I matter that much to Mandy. Well considering the time, I'm going to sign off.
