Haunted Houses

Every Halloween many people love to go to haunted houses. I am not one of those people. I have just recently went to my first haunted house. It was my friends sixteenth birthday so I had to go. When we got to the haunted houses it took all of us like ten minutes to get the nerve to just go in. We went ahead and bought the combo ticket. We first went to the catacombs. We got down there and waited for a big group to come. My friend Brandi (it was her sixteenth birthday, her idea to go, and she was just as scared as I was) and I walked with our head buried in our friends' backs and kept our eyes closed for most of it. Brandi decided when we were three fourths of the way done that she wanted out. She told the guy that was handing out 3D glasses that she was about to have a panic attack and needed out. She drug me along with her. I kind of wanted to finish but our group had moved on and I wasn't going alone. Once we were both outside we were shaking. The others came out and said it was no big deal (they both love haunted houses and walked through it with a you don't scare me kind of attitude). They tried to get us to go through the House of Lecter but Brandi and I just couldn't do it. Looking back I feel that I could have made it through both. I freaked myself out more than the haunted houses did. If my friends decide to go again, I am going to go and make it through both haunted houses. I know I can if I don't psych myself out first.

Homecoming

We finally have a homecoming dance. It's about dang time. The school needs to hold more dances. Sure there are still going to be the same people who don't give a crap, but many students enjoy the dances. My friends and I love them. There's nothing like spending $80 on a dress to go get dressed up to hang out with friends. I love the act of trying on dresses more than actually paying the outrageous amount of money for them, even if it is your parent's money. Speaking of money, I find it quite ridiculous that the girl spends all this money on a dress, shoes, hair, make up, and accessories and the guy gets by with barely paying a thing. Sure the guy pays for dinner but he doesn't have to spend a lot to dress up. Paying for dinner does not amount to buying a dress. Girls really get the shaft when it comes to dances, weddings, parties, or just clothing in general. For dances it's the girl who spends money on a dress. For weddings, the girl's parents cover most the cost. Parties are a little more equal but girls just generally spend more. For clothing girls will always pay more. Girls worry about brands and the type of clothing. Not to mention all the money spent on accessories. Purses for instance can range from $20 to $300. I have to say that I fall in with the girls that spend $100 to $200 on a purse. I just can't help that I love Coach purses. But moving on, I am looking foreward to Homecoming. I can't wait to get dress up and spend hours on my hair just for it to fall. Oh well. It is the memories that makes it worth all the money and time.
