Me and my friend margy were so excited that Rotary was throwing a Halloween party. We asked margy's host mom who is the counselor in Rotary if it was a costume party and she said yes. So for a week margy and I were getting our costumes ready, margy was crossed between going as a hippie or a drugy. Clint wouldent tell us what he was going as and just told us that his costume was the best. I said Clint should go as a girl because I was going as a guy. Margy and I went shopping for materials to make our costumes, mine was really easy all I had to do was buy some guy clothes. It was a challenge trying to find the right ones, and the fact that the changing room was a curtain box in the middle of the guys section. Margy had to keep a lookout as I was changing but finally we found the best clothes for it. Margy made her own pants and than she decided to go as a Hippie. The day of after school I came home and put on my costume, I got my hair all done, took off all the make-up, and used soem browns to shade in a mustache, I even decided to give myself a black-eye with make-up of course. I didnt see it at the time but that wasnt such a great idea to change in my costume just than because I still had to go to Margy's house which was in the other town. It was in the afternoon and I started walking down to the train station, at first it was okay but than I felt weird looks from people trying to make out if I was a girl or a guy, I was especially afraid of the guys because now I know the stare down men give to other males to tell them.." Yeah thats right I can kick you..butt". I got on the train where once again my luck ran out when a group of 5 amazingly good looking guys were standing next to me. I got off the train finally and got onto the bus towards Margy's house. The whole ride to her house a older man would not stop staring at me, I would stare back and usually that breaks there focus but not for him he had a locked stare right at me. I got off the bus as fast as I could and walked to margy's house, when i got there she was laughing and said " ohh my gosh you seriously look like a guy". I took that as a compliment :D, so for the next two hours margy and I attempted and failed to put dread-locks in her hair, we even tried braiding her whole head but still no luck so we just left her hair. Clint came over and was going to go into the bathroom to change into his costume... Right when he came in though I told him that I knew it he was going as himself... Margy and I were tryign to guess his costume forever because he would not tell us.. He came out of the bathroom as backwards man, so now we all set off to the Halloween party as a Hippie, a Backwards Man, and just a Man. The ride up there I was wondering why margy's host mom didnt have a costume on, but I didnt think to much of it but right when we got there i knew why.. It was not a costume party.. I was completly mortified, margy had already managed to brush her hair so she looked normal, and clint decided to stick it out and not leave me to fend for myself but there was no hiding my costume. I was even more embarrased when we had to stand, but at that moment I knew i had two choice.. One curl up in a corner and die in my self pity, or make the best of it and just have fun... So i chose the second one, i was craking jokes about myself being a man the entire time,, I was the most outgoing person well man there. Margy even said that I made that party so fun because of how i reacted to that.. I was dancing with everyone, Clint refused to dance because I was a man.. :D, however bruno and I danced and the girls could not stop laughing because I looked so much like a guy, margy kept on telling me i was right i was a hot guy.. but what I didnt know is that for those there at the party they actually really thought I was a man... not a confidence booster.. I had to say I was a girl everytime I went into the restroom, and when old women came in there they gave me the death glare.. Towards the end of teh night though i decided to take off my hat and left my hair down, everyone thought I was a man, I had to tell everyone who I was all over again, and Bruno making the best of it said he liked me better as a man... The Hot guys at the party were laughing when they found out I was really a girl, I think they thought I was a gay guy actually.. It was such a fun night though, and I have never been more outgoing in my life, I had a chance to make a night either horrible or amazing and the choice I made not only effected my night but made it a better night for everyone else.. So I cant regret it too much, Although I was embarrased beyond belief this night was really a chance for me to show that I can make the best out of everything, and how nothing is how it appears on Halloween.

Cool pictures Hannah!!! Looks and sounds like you had a lot of fun.
Hannah your blog is so funny.
Do you remember when Christine and ‘C’ went to the youth group in their pajama’s, fluffy slippers, and stuffed animals because they thought it was pajama night!
Hey Hannah, Glad you had a good Halloween, we finally had our bonfire. We also went to town with Toby in the back seat, thinking that someone would think he was a person wearing a costume. Christine said, “no one is going to think he is a person wearing a costume.” When we found Christine’s friends they said, “Who is this?” We said, “Christine,” when they said, “Who is that?” we said, “Doug” then they asked, “Who is in the dog costume?” We all broke out laughing. So now we always say, “Who’s in the dog costume” all the time! :>)Love you Hannah, Doug
You should have flicked your wrist all night and started drama haha so they would really think you were gay.
by far your best lesson of the trip...and also very insightful in figuring out how Sarah makes it through each day
