OUR FICTIONAL KINGDOMS!!!
WELCOME. To my kingdom. Which is called . . . I change the name a lot. Right now, I believe it’s Kingdom Nubila. Maybe. I’m not sure . . .
You actually have a name for your kingdom? I don’t . . . I’ll get working on that. ANYWAY! Today I’m purple, and Jo is blue. And we’re talking about our kingdoms!
Well, I totally made it up like, two seconds ago. Well, I asked google translate. It’s clouds. In LATIN. Anyway. FICTIONAL KINGDOMS IN THE REALM OF FICTIONALNESS. I didn’t know what the realm was called . . .
Sure, let’s go with that. The Realm of Fictionalness. So. Jo and I have kingdoms in this Realm of Fictionalness and I’m going to let Jo go first while I go look for a name.
Okay. Well, uhm. Mine, is like, amazing. And, it has a lot of magical and amazing people. Most everyone posses powers or special skills, ya know? You wanna see a picture? OKAY!!! Well, I have multiple pictures. Because, I can’t pick one. But I will try. OKAY. It’s like this . . .
That is quite amazing Jo. And you just randomly switched fonts . . . but anyway. 
There’s my castle. Dragons and stuff. It’s quite dark though . . . but I really couldn’t care less. Kingdom Draconids. I had to choose something that had to do with astronomy . . . obviously. It’s a meteor shower . . . and yeah. And draco means dragon in Latin, so . . . well . . . it’s not that hard to figure out.
I didn’t mean to switch fonts . . . anyway. My kingdom, is above Marie’s. Literally, in clouds. Like, like, right there. *Points at bright cloud*. Yeah. Yeah. Ha, yeah yeah.
Yeah. Mine is . . . under Jo’s . . . But anyway. That’s how that works. Do you want to talk about your Knights Jo?
Okay, first off, let’s not say that because that’s . . . weird! Like instead of, H . E. double hocky stick, we say the place downstairs or our neighbors downstairs, and . . . your kingdom is like, not downstairs . . . but if we said that . . . . and . . .
Anyway. Woah, I spaced. So anyway. My Knights. I’m the leader of this awesome group of fictional people called The Knights. And they all have powers. And are very dangerousus. And . . . are like NINJA WARRIORS. And they are just . . . amazing. It’s ladies and gentlemen by the way. My kingdom isn’t all that developed yet . . . so I don’t have much details.
I don’t have much detail either . . . buy my kingdom’s version of the Knights are the Psychics. So my Psychics are basically highly trained warriors with psychic powers. OH HEY!!! I SPELLED IT RIGHT THREE TIMES!!!! *dances and throws confetti* Anyway. Pretty much everyone in my kingdom has one psychic power, or some other magical power, but my Psychics have tons of powers. So yeah.
All my people are just all . . . different. I don’t know. And . . . yeah. We have elves, sorceresses, ghosts, fairies, wizards, and just . . . a big mix of different people with different powers that I don’t exactly have a name for all of them yet . . . but stuff like that! OH! And angels. Many angels. Or angels with like . . . I don’t know. Some angels could be wizards or whatever. So yeah. And a lot of hunters. We like our forests and stuff and we have a lot of hunters. And uh . . . yeah.
Yeah, my kingdom has pretty much all of those people too. We also have half dragon people. And lots and lots of fairies. Tons of fairies. I love fairies. But anyway. My Psychics. I have a list of them. Rosemary, Lucas, Xandra, Vanessa, Austin, Raul, Luna, Zoella, and Tyler.
I have a list of nights, but I’m so lame and lazy, I won’t list them {And I kind of forgot}. Well. That’s all I have to say. For now.
For now huh? So yeah. I would go ahead and tell you where all of my Psychics are from, but I’m lazy and I won’t. Maybe later. So. Jo. Anything we forgot?
Not that I know of . . .
So is that . . . all?
Yes . . . I believe so.
So. I guess this is goodbye. *asks threateningly* Any last words?
*Says in little voice* Goodbye?
That sounds about right. That sounded weird . . . anyway, salut!

A Few Grammar Rules
Hello fictional people! It is Sunday, and you know what that means? Well, obviously because you’re reading this. But anyway! Jo and I will be talking about stupid grammar mistakes that people make! Oh, and I, Marie, am this blue color thing.
Ouch, burn. Sorry, reading stuffs. ANYWAY. I’m this amazing . . . Purple? Pink purple? *Turns to imaginary assistant* Is this purple Sara?
No. It’s like . . . dark dark pinkish purple according to google docs.
Oh okay. And that’s why she’s here, to tell me if this is purple. And then I ask Marie about everything else. So yeah. Stupid grammar mistakes. I’ve made plenty of those in my lifetime!
Actually, I think that’s mauve. But anyway. Grammar. I am an editor, or at least an editor in training. In fictional training. I’m practically teaching myself. But that’s not the point. I love grammar. And spelling. And everything like that. But I do make tons of mistakes. That’s why Jo and I write together. Not really. But we do fix each other mistakes. But I’m getting off topic. Grammar mistakes that people make. Let’s start with . . . plurals and possessives.
And Marie also answers all my grammatical questions. Because, I ask questions. But anyway. Would that include it’s and its?
Yes. Yes it would. Most definitely. So . . . do you want me to start this off or do you want to?
You should because you are the . . . what’s the word. WHAT’S THE WORD?! AHH!!! I’m so forgetful today! I’ll just say . . . Alpha Editor. Yeah. YEAH. ALPHA EDITOR.
Alpha Editor? I’m not too sure about that, but sure, let’s go with that. And I see what you did there *smiles* But anyway. Plural things and possessives. If you have more than one, it’s plural. So, “I have two cats,” not really. I have one cat, but we’re in the fictional world where I have tons of cats. But possessive is when you own something. “Marie’s cats.” So. Simply put. If you own it, or if anything owns it, it’s possessive and gets an apostrophe (‘). If it’s just plural, no apostrophe, just an “s”.
*Grins* I’m glad that you caught that! Anyway. *Says dumbly* so . . . it wouldn’t be “Marie own’s two cats”?
*cringes* No. Never. In fact, in all my junior editor-ness, I have no idea what’s up with the “s” after “own” . . . I feel really stupid now . . . *thinks* Yeah. I don’t know. But the point is, there is an “s” after “own” in that sentence. Don’t question it. Just . . . have faith that I do actually know grammar rules . . . sometimes.
Ha, trust me. I’ve seen that a couple times, and I turn to the person and I ask them, “What . . . what is up with . . . well . . . that?” And this one person said, “Oh, see. That’s possessive, so it needs an “s”.” And then they went back to correcting my writing. And . . . it was weird. Okay. Would commonly confused words fall into this category?
Uhmm. Not really. But let’s talk about those now. And then we can talk about contractions which I always confuse with conjunctions because my brain doesn’t always work properly. But anyway. Let’s start with your and you’re, because I hate when people mess this up.
Okay. Let’s start with--in my opinion--the #1 most commonly confused word. Your . . . and You’re. Hey . . . which falls into . . . DANG IT. You got me all confused now!! Contractions . . . conjunctions . . . WHICHEVER IT IS. *Sighs* Peoples of the fictional universe. Please. Please. Take time to think about which one to use! You’re = You are. Your = Possessive! You don’t go around typing, “Oh hey! It’s you’re cat!” Ha. Haha. Hahaha. Very funny! Even Google Docs is mad at me for saying it! That’s like saying, “Oh hey! It is you are cat!” Which makes no sense.
*whispers* Contractions. *clears throat* So anyway. It’s not like saying, it is saying. Just had to point that out. So basically, fictional people, if you mean “you are” then you can take off that a and add an apostrophe. Kay? And if you don’t do that I swear I will kill you with my red pen. Just kidding. But . . . it’s possible. So now let’s talk about . . . it’s and its. Do you want to explain this Jo?
Actually, I have to say I do not. Because honestly . . . I totally forgot what its means because I barely use it. *Shameful bow*
That’s okay. I kind of wanted to explain it anyway. So. It’s and its are probably some of the hardest things about grammar they teach us in school, which isn’t really saying much, but yeah. ((Did you see my long pause there after “It’s and its”? I forgot when to use are or is. But anyway.)) It’s means it is. It’s a contraction, and you should only use it as such. Its on the other hand, is a possessive. “Woah woah woah!!! Didn’t you say that if it’s possessive then you add an apostrophe?! I’m so lost!” Why yes, I’m glad you remember me saying that. But its is an exception. I’m not sure why, it just is. So deal with it. So. “The cat tipped its water bowl over.” Possessive its. And I can’t think of an example for the other it’s, Jo?
Okay. That’s what I’m here for!!! Just give me a moment to think of something interesting. OKAY. I THINK I HAVE IT. But writing it on purpose as an example . . . well that’s hard because I feel like it’s going to be wrong. HA. See what I did there? I used it RIGHT THERE. FOOLED YOU!!!
Very clever Jo. Much, much better than what I would’ve said. Galilean moons my grammar skills are horrible today. But that’s not the point. So. Now that we’ve cleared it’s and its up, shall we move to contractions? Is that what I said we were going to cover next?
Yes. That is correct. AH! SCARY NOISE. I’m going to go turn on a light now . . .
OH MY GOODNESS. Freaking . . . GOODNESS GRACIOUS YOU SILLY CAT. It was my cat. Buddy. Being creepsta.
*laughs* It’s always the cat, isn’t it. My cat almost gave me a heart attack the other day, but that’s not the point at all. So. Contractions. Contractions are basically word + word = new shiny word! It’s really not that complicated. Unless you want it to be. So. Do + not = don’t. Would + have = would’ve. I know, I’m a genius. So yeah. There you go. And Jo, I’m pretty sure that there’s not supposed to be a question mark there. It’s . . . well . . . it doesn’t start with what I call a “Question Word”. Like who, what, where, when, why, or how. But . . . IDK. ANYWAY. Your turn.
How come I did not know this earlier?! WHEN I WAS WRITING STUFFS. And this is why you are the Alpha Editor.
I’m still not too sure about that. But anyway. You + are is another contraction. Just thought I’d point that out. You can make a contraction out of almost anything. I used to use contractions a lot . . . probably more than I should’ve. Practically one every sentence. I think that was in . . . fifth or sixth grade. I also used commas a lot. OH COMMAS!!! Let’s talk about commas. Would you like to explain? At least half of it? Commas have a ton of rules.
*Laughs* Oh commas. I suck at commas. Though, I use them a lot. A lot. If you haven’t already noticed of course. Seriously though. The little suckers are all powerful and have amazing skills! But anyway, (<COMMA) commas. Give me a moment to think of a rule . . . COMMAS SEPARATE ITEMS ON A LIST!!! *Facepalm* It took me a whole two minutes to think of that!
Before I start talking about rules, I feel like sharing something. So. As a 12 year old ((That is how old you are in sixth grade, right?)) I was a little . . . comma happy. I basically said to myself, “Do I need a comma there? Oh why not, there’s no such thing as too many commas!!!” First off, there is such thing as too many commas. And second off, don’t think like 12 year old me because I was really stupid back then. Still am. But anyway. Commas. Yes. They separate items on a list. So. “I need you to buy milk, eggs, bread, and cupcakes.” Not, “I need you to buy milk eggs bread and cupcakes.” *shudders* Don’t ever do that. I have no idea what milk eggs are. Or eggs bread. Or milk eggs bread for that matter.
*Laughs* Milk Eggs! “Hey, will you go buy me some milk eggs?” Ha. Anyway. I forgot to say, isn’t it more than two items that you’ll need commas . . .?
Yes, because you can’t just say, “I need you to buy milk, and eggs.” Don’t do that either. Kay? That looks messed up. And it is messed up. So. As there always is in English, there are exceptions to that rule! Gotta love them exceptions! So. Let’s say . . . “I need you to buy milk, eggs, and pink cupcakes.” Nooo. What have I done?! I messed up. That is another rule. Pretend I actually have a brain, kay? Now. Let’s continue. If you have a list of adjectives then you separate the list with our little friend commas. Unless there is an exception. Exceptions include colors, numbers, possessives, and something else that I can’t remember!
So. Yeah. I don’t have anything else . . .
Jo. That was your cue to tell me what the other exception was!
OH . . . sorry. It’s a personal pronoun isn’t it? Like “I” or “me”. Whoa. That took me a while.
OH OH OH OH!!!! THAT’S WHAT IT IS!!! PROPER ADJECTIVE!!!!!!! It’s not a personal pronoun because you don’t say, “I love the pink sprinkled, me cupcakes.” Or at least, I sure hope that you don’t say that. So. Color, number, proper adjective, or possessive don’t get commas. So it would look something like this, “My favorite cupcakes are the soft pink-frosted, sprinkled, chocolate cupcakes.” So yeah. If there’s an exception, don’t put commas around the exception. That was a bad example. Let me give you a better one. “Bashful, boring brown bats fly.”
Sorry that I don’t remember why I wrote that down. I have a list. Of rules. On a notebook. *Facepalm* failure.
That’s alright Jo. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’ve made a ton of mistakes just now. So yeah. Like my huge failure somewhere up there where I mashed two rules together to create one monster rule. But anyway! Those are all the grammar rules that I feel like talking about today because I’m not in a teaching mood, I just want to write. *says threateningly* Any last words?
*Trembles* B-bye everyone . . . please, tell my cat . . . that I won, I won that yawning contest! NO MATTER WHAT HE SAYS.
*bursts out laughing* You have the weirdest things to say Jo. But anyway, bye!

What Are We Going To Do?
That's the question, isn't it. What are we going to do?
For those of you who can't read my mind ((come on, try harder)), I'm thinking about NaNoWriMo. How are we going to post every day if we have to spend our every waking moment writing? So I was thinking, and I haven't cleared this with Jo yet so you guys are like, V.I.P, that maybe we just shouldn't post at all. Except for our Sunday Posts, which will probably be about NaNo, but I don't really know. Jo and I will figure it out.
In the mean time, I didn't really have anything planned out for you, SO ASTRONOMY TIME!!! I found some sites that I thought were pretty awesome. So here they are. Here's one. Here's two.
So you go and have fun reading those. Bye!

Steampunk Fiction
So Jo and I were at the library earlier today, and we started talking about steampunk. And so I asked her, "What exactly is steampunk writing? I've formed a definition that's just . . . all scattered and stuff, but what is it really?" And so she replied with, "It's kind of like cyborgs and stuff." And then me, being Marie the insane researcher, went and researched it. And I found this website. So you just go and read that now. I'm now going to start thinking of ideas for a steampunk kind of story, because I want to write at least one story in every writing genre. I think that would be fun. But anyway. Bye!

Seasons . . . Let's Talk About That!
Hello! It’s that time of year again. WHEN THE SEASONS CHANGE!!! Kind of . . . OH! OH! And I’m sorry that I, (JO) Did not post on Thursday, I had many distractions and got busy and then I couldn’t post . . . and I apologize . . . and . . . Marie?
Yeah. I saw that and I was really confused because I thought my computer was being weird. ANYWAY! It’s fall! Or autumn. Well, it’s been autumn for a while now. Since September 21. But anyway. That’s not the point. So. We’re talking about seasons today. I, personally, love autumn. And spring.
Yes. Autumn is such a nice time of year. The colors, the weather, the feeling of everything, the food that’s in season . . . you could have hot chocolate or ice cream! And yeah! AND IT MEANS HALLOWEEN!!! AND THANKSGIVING!!! AND BLACK FRIDAY!!! AND IT ALMOST MEANS CHRISTMAS!!! But yeah. “Let’s talk about that.”
*smiles* Yes. Let’s talk about that. I can’t type today, sorry about that. ANYWAY. Can I just say, that I love hot chocolate and Halloween? They’re both amazing.
Oh I agree. I wonder if there are people out there who give out hot chocolate for Halloween!! I know some really awesome people give out soda! But . . . not hot chocolate yet.
When I was, like, six there was this one lady who dressed up like a witch and had a whole cauldron full of hot chocolate and that’s what she gave out. It was awesome. There was another house who gave out hot dogs and refreshments that year. It was really awesome. No one does that in my neighborhood anymore. It’s sad.
That sounds really awesome!!! And that’s too bad, or else it would’ve been a no brainer where we should go trick or treating. Nobody in my neighborhood does that. Not that I know of anyway, Matthew might know. He’s like, everywhere on Halloween.
I think there is still one house who does that . . . it may be the same house . . . I don’t remember. Let me think . . . well, when I was in fifth or sixth grade there was one house who had apple cider and cookies, and that same year there was a house who gave out king sized candy bars. But I’m not sure about last year.
Wow you have just like, amazing people who live around you. We always get the boring usual stuff. And “fun sized” stuff. BUT ANYWAY. We’re not here to talk about trick or treating. We need to talk about seasons.
Yes. You’re right Jo. So. Autumn is awesome. Now. Winter comes next, so what do you think of winter Jo?
*Quietly and suspiciously laughs* Your birthday is in winter right? Or was it summer?
*frowns* Sometimes I can’t figure you out Jo. Well, 90% of the time I can’t figure you out. Winter. I wish it were in spring though.
Yeah. How could I forget your birthday?! After all, it is five days before mine! Yeah. It’s kind of hard to have a winter birthday because we don’t have many options for a party . . . but anyway! Winter is nice. The snow is pretty. We get hot chocolate. And it means Christmas and New Years and our birthdays!
AND Three Kings Day! That’s my favorite holiday ever! For those of you who don’t know, Three Kings Day is a little like Christmas. It’s celebrated on January 6 or 7 or 5. Somewhere around that time. And you get three presents, one from each king. And it’s celebrated in Puerto Rico in replacement of Christmas. That’s how I know about it. It’s really awesome.
And a bunch of other holidays, like Saint Nicholas Day. And other stuff. So yeah. Winter is nice and fun! SLEDDING!!! But it’s really cold . . . so . . . yeah . . .
Yeah. I hate how cold winter is. So. Insanely. Cold. Especially here in Utah. I hate Utah weather. ANYWAY. Spring is next. I love spring because spring = flowers. And I have a flower obsession.
The only problem I have with spring is probably the bugs and scary bees . . . but yeah. That’s also why I love autumn! No bugs! To hurt me! But anyway. Spring is the best to paint. Like autumn too . . . anyway. Yeah. Spring is pretty and nice and it means Mother’s day and April Fools. And . . .St. Patricks day! AND AND! Isn’t it Mama Green’s birthday too?!
I have no idea . . . Possibly. But yes. Bees are really scary and that’s my only problem with flowers. I need to start my own garden this year . . . ANYWAY. I think all the seasons would be fun to paint. Except summer. It’s like, “Here. I’ll paint this grass . . . and grass . . . and grass . . . and a tree . . . and grass . . . and the sun.”
*Laughs* I’ll just paint . . . the grass and this tree here . . . and . . . the sun . . . But summer is . . . it’s hot. It means lots of ice cream! And Father’s day! And the Fourth of July! And . . . what was it? Was there something else in summer . . .Hm. But it is nice to paint the beach in summer I guess. And um. Summer means a lot, a lot of free time. And swimming. And. CAMP HALF BLOOD TOO! But, that would be all year . . .
Pioneer Day? But that’s only a Utah holiday. But there’s also Percy and Harry’s birthdays. And Camp NaNo. There’s also Camp NaNo in April. But yeah. THAT’S ANOTHER REASON WHY AUTUMN IN AWESOME!!! MARIE CURIE’S BIRTHDAY!!! November 7. Okay. That’s all I had to say.
YEAH! NANOWRIMO!!! OH! Summer also means J. K. Rowling’s birthday doesn’t it? And Annabeth’s is July 12. I believe. So . . . that’s all I have . . .
July 31 I believe. For J. K. Rowling’s birthday. But that’s also all I have. So goodbye! Until tomorrow when I will hopefully have something good to post.

I Failed (Including Some Info About the Lunar Eclipse)
Do you know how bad I failed? So bad. So lunar eclipse bad. It's technically Thursday, but we're going to pretend that it's still Wednesday, kay Jo? Kay? Say yes. If you don't . . . if you don't say okay, I will . . . make you kill another character. *plays dramatic music* Just kidding. But you're okay with that, right? Me pretending that it's still Wednesday even thought it's 12:47 . . . a.m.
ANYWAY! In other news! Tonight there's a lunar eclipse! In one hour! Okay, more like twenty minutes. That's part of the reason why I'm still up. I also procrastinated and now have things to do really late. But that worked out okay, don't you think?
So the lunar eclipse. Tonight. In like . . . twenty minutes. It'll be there until sunrise, so don't freak out, kay? AND! There's a full moon tonight, and a meteor shower! The Draconids meteor shower. So have fun with that! Oh! And the moon is supposed to turn red and maybe even turquoise! So have fun! I know I won't! The clouds are being mean and blocking my view of the precious moon. Maybe they'll clear up in 10-ish minutes.
So there ya go.

HALLOWEEN!!!
Bonjour fictional people! Today, Jo and I will be talking about Halloween. So yeah. Should we start with . . . IDK. Our costumes? That’s really the only thing to talk about.
Hello there! I’m black today! And Marie is . . . I want to say . . . blue green . . . whatever! She can tell you! ANYWAY. Sure. But we could also start with . . . *dramatic music* . . . HALLOWEEN STORES!!!!! *EVIL LAUGH*
I think it’s like . . . mint or sea foam green. I think. But anyway! We could start with Halloween stores. Would you like to start with that?
Sure. Why not. Then we can discuss Halloween costumes in general. And ours. Whatever. We’ll know when we get to that point. It’s like a . . . a . . . “you’ll know it when you hit it” kind of thing I guess. ANYWAY. Halloween stores. Let me start by saying, I freaking love them. I wish they were open all year long. But then there’s my mom. She hates them. I will tell you why. After Marie starts off with some stuff.
I really like Halloween stores. I like to wander around and look at all the costumes. I usually take forever to find one I like, but yeah. I like to try things on and just look at the accessories and wonder if I want to be this or that. And yeah. They’re fun.
I’m the same way *smiles*. BUT. I’m one of the crazy people who goes around and plays with the props and scares random people sometimes . . . BUT IT’S SO MUCH FUN!!! I love all the weird and creepy decorations and the costumes. It takes me a long time to find one as well. BUT ANWAY. I went to Zurchers . . . how do you spell it? I NEED ASSISTANCE. Thank you. Anyway, I went there just a couple days ago for my dad’s party supplies. And I was looking at this decoration, it was a rubber skeleton of a cat! It was so awesome and I wanted to get it and I showed it to my mom and she was like, “Ewww! GET THAT AWAY FROM ME!!! NO WAY!!” and then I wanted to get this ugly rat (it was fake) and she was so disgusted. She wouldn’t even let me touch it!!! And I like to try on masks! It freaks people out so bad!!
Masks are . . . interesting. I don’t usually try them on. But decorations. I love Halloween decorations. Like, you don’t even know. I always decorate my house for Halloween because my whole family sucks at decorations and things. So yeah. Our house always looks amazing. Just kidding, but it does look pretty good if I do say so myself.
Lucky. My family doesn’t buy any. They won’t let me! They wouldn’t let me make a haunted house that costs one candy (optional) to get in. Which made me sad. And I want to have a Halloween party like . . . SO BAD. But they won’t let me do that either. So we’re one of the boring houses :P.
We need to make a haunted house this year, kay? We’re going to do that. Just because. And we also need to have a Halloween party. We already talked about that, but I’m just going to say it again. We need to do those. And make them AWESOMESAUCE!!!!!
Yaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyysauce!!! I thought I’d try that. Yaysauce. That sounds . . . delicious. But, YAY!!! The thing is . . . we can only have a haunted house for so long so we can go trick or treating!!!! WHICH BRINGS ME TO SAY . . . I WILL NEVER BE TOO OLD TO TRICK OR TREAT!!! NOT EVEN IF I’M LIKE, 95 AND I CAN’T HAVE CANDY, OR DRESS MYSELF, OR I’M SITTING IN A WHEELCHAIR!!!! I WILL GIVE CANDY TO MY GRANDCHILDREN!!! But yet . . . there are kids, kids, that are in third, fourth, second, etc grade who are like, “Oh ya, I’m too old for trick or treating,” WHAT?! WHAT?! WHAT?! Just . . . ah! What the heck?!
Yeah. I remember when I was a fifth grader there were some people in my class who were all like, “I’m too old for trick or treating.” I, obviously, didn’t think that. I went trick or treating last year, when I was a seventh grader. The thing about older kids trick or treating, kids our age, is that . . . There comes a time when people are all like, “Uhmm. You’re way too old for this. No candy for you!” Which scares me. But yeah. Last year, I was by myself because I was going the logical route and my brothers were being illogical, and all the people were just giving me these, “Why are you even trick or treating? You’re like, 13!” I wasn’t 13, I was 12. But yeah. People are mean.
I know right?! And there were all these people at our school, they were like, “Dressing up for Halloween? That’s stupid. I’m too old for that.” My neighbor was kind of one of those people. She was like, “I didn’t dress up last year. I feel too old to do that.” But, she did wear a tutu that day at school. She’s in ninth grade now. And I’m not allowed to go out by myself. So, I’M PROTECTED BY A . . . now he’s . . . 10! 10 year old! And a . . . her birthday is this month . . . SHE WAS 10 LAST YEAR!! And she’ll be 11 the 25. She’s my cousin. She’s pretty cool. OH! I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE SCARERS ON THE PORCH!!! That’s what I call them.
Scarers on porch, huh. Can I just say, I HATE THOSE PEOPLE! Kay. I’m done.
I’d like to say, I’m the one person who tries to scare them. I try to make them move by sneaking up on them. I’m usually the bravest in my group, so I’ll go up there, say hi, then leave. And then they scare my brother and my cousin. So yeah. They’re pretty friendly because I know most of them.
Shall we talk about . . . costumes now?
Sure. I like costumes. They’re my favorite part of Halloween.
Sooooooooo. This year Jo and I are actually going to coordinate our costumes! Something I’ve been wanting to do since . . . sixth grade! So yeah. I’m going to let Jo explain our costumes and stuff.
Yeah. I’ve never coordinated costumes with someone. Because A.) I wanted to find a long term best friend first and B.) I’m always kinda timid to ask or bring it up. I’m afraid of them being like, “Oh . . . uh . . . nooo . . . “ So yeah. Anyway! I’m happy about that. Is my point. We said we were going to be Yin and Yang, yes? But like . . . we’ll be dressed as . . . one of us will be black and the other will be white and we’re going to be like . . . masquerade people. I think that sounds right, right?
Yup! So we need to go to a Halloween store together! Which will be really, really awesome!
Yes it will be!!! I love Halloween costumes and stores and Marie, so, all of that combined is like . . . BOOOOOOOMMMM!!! Best thing ever!!! So I’m very happy.
Exactly(: So, is that all we have for today? Do you have anything else to say Jo?
Just that I am really excited for this Halloween!! This is like . . . our first Halloween that we’re planning to be together like, the whole time, yes? Like . . . coordinating our costumes, going to the store, having a Halloween party, having a Haunted house, and I think we’re planning to go trick or treating together. Yeah. Because that would be awesome! We’ll never be old to go trick or treating together.
Yeah, I’m really excited for this Halloween. It’s going to be really awesome.
Yes it is! OH! I wanted to share a picture of an awesome costume idea. Maybe we could do it next year!
*screams* YOU’RE A CANNIBAL!!!!! Just kidding. But yes. Nerds are very delicious. We should do that next year. It’s decided. We’re Nerds next year. So. That’s all I have for you. *says in scary voice* Any last words Jo?
Tell my charries . . . *says dramatically* . . . that I love them!! Okay. That was awesome anyway. That’s all we’ve got! Love you all! In a friendly way, not awkward or anything. Yeah. Bye!
