Happy Halloween!! Last night was a bit of a bust. I miss being a kid on Halloween... In fact, I miss being a kid on all the holidays. It feels like the magic is gone. My parents would get me a costume every year, and we'd go trick-or-treating around the neighborhood for hours, me and Kate! Now, that I'm transitioning into being an adult... I can't go out trick-or-treating. I can't be with my family because there's class the next day at 9:30 a.m. And while my roommates are fun, when you don't drink like me, not even a little... being around drunk people isn't nearly as fun as YouTube and MTV make it out to be.
Thankfully, I had Stuart with me. He had the night off - probably the only holiday he'll get off - and he tried very hard to make the holiday special. He personally does not participate in Halloween, but after I begged him to dress up in his chef coat and pants, he put on a happy face and tried to get me to cheer up. We ended up holing up in my room with a gigantic bag of candy and watching Maneater, a film NetFlix called "horror" but was clearly the most tamed horror film I've ever seen! Harry Potter was scarier!

This was taken last night at Carowinds... Scarowinds!! It's a major theme park on the state line of North and South Carolina. If you're a NC or SC resident, it is a MUST to go! My sister Kate gets a season pass every year. For Halloween, Carowinds goes creepy with Scarowinds!! Employees are dressed in the most horrid, creepy, twisted costumes imaginable and are meant to frighten, startle, and petrify you! If that's not enough of a thrill, you can walk through tunnels and trailers converted into different themed horror houses, like Cornstalkers and Child's Playground. People pop out of the darkness and scare the crap out of you with screams, loud bangs, and there was even a guy with a chainsaw.
Typically, this isn't my scene. But it is Kate, Seth, and Stuart's! They love this stuff!! I. DO. NOT! However... in the spirit of the season, I wanted to tag along and be a part of the group. At first, I was petrified! Stuart and I were about to enter our first horror house, and I literally froze. There wasn't any power on earth to get me to walk forward as Kate and Seth skipped off to meet their fate in the vampire-themed tunnel. I know Stuart was disappointed, but there was NO WAY I was going in there.
As the night progressed, I started relaxing and went into three different horror houses. I kept my eyes to the ground and clung to Stuart and Kate's shirts like they were lifelines. No one was getting near me!! I ended up having fun and got the largest lollipop imaginable for being brave!!
