What was the best Halloween I have ever had?

My favorite Halloween would probably be October 2007. It was my favorite because it was our last Halloween party when Grandaddy was still alive, we knew that he probably wouldn't live until the next one so we decided to make this one the best we could. It was the first one that I went to without wearing a Halloween costume, which I was not happy about because some of my older cousins were wearing awesome costumes such as Sherlock Holmes. I also have several little second cousins running around in all of their super cute costumes, and I even started pulling them around the old house in a little red wagon which was very fun. And while I was pulling them around I remember seeing Grandaddy sitting in his wheelchair talking to one of my uncles. Then after that we ate, then about an hour and a half later we got our candy, I got 9 bags of candy which was the equivalent of about 5-6 sack lunch bags. Then 15 minutes later we did the hay ride; which we did alomost every year, during the hayride we used my cousin Simon's (the one who dressed like Sherlock Holmes) monocle frame to start a small fire with some straw which was funny. We drove around for about 30 minutes or so then we came back, played around alittle and then went home.

Ghosts of West Louisville

I remember when I went to West Louisville Elementary School and being paralyzed with fear from all of the ghost stories that had to do with this school. One in particular that I remember is that decades before I was born a car crashed into what used to be the old girls bathroom in the basement of the school and blood from the man who was driving the girl went everywhere, and in the years since that happened many girls had seen blood on the walls. Another story is about the Candyman ghost who haunted the school which was the one that scared alot of us because we always walked in pairs and I remember on one occasion every friday we  were allowed to go get a coke, well the coke machines were all in the basement next to the freezers for the cafeteria, me and a few other students went down there and I clearly recall Madison Lee saying, "I wish we had some strong guys down here to protect us" which was a slam for me, for I was the only guy down there.
And that wasn't the only part of this experience the very next day we began finding candy on the floors of the bathroom which freaked some of us out, but we later found out that it was Corbin and some of his friends who were playing this prank on us.

What I like about Autumn

The first thing I like about Autumn is all of the pretty colors of the trees during this time of year, because they really do make an impact on my day when I see them.

The Second thing I like about Autumn is bringing in the Harvest for the year, you get to see all of your hard work pay off; whether the crops turn out good or bad, and it also means that I am almost done working on the farm.

The Third thing I like about Autumn is Halloween, my mom's side of the family got together every year at my Grandparents Old House and we would all eat and we would get lots of candy - you see my grandparents had 10 children and each family gives each of the grandchildren a bag of candy and that adds up to alot. We would also go on a Hayride through all of the trails my Granddad made in in the woods behind Panther Creek and it was a blast. And also we would all dress up in our Halloween outfits even some of the adults got into it, and I have a dozen little second cousins now and they would dress up in some of the cuttest outfits you had ever seen.

The Fourth thing I likt about Autumn is Thanksgiving, we would get together on both sides of the family and have a big Thanksgiving dinner. I love family gatherings at Thanksgiving because we all can be thankful together for what all God has given us. And also Thanksgiving of '07 was the last holiday we celebrated with my Granddad and we went ahead and celebrated Christmas because my Aunts and Uncle (his children) had the feeling that he would not live until then; which we were right he died on December 14, just a little over 2 weeks later.

And the last thing I like about Autumn is that I know Christmas is getting closer along with all its joys and family get togethers.

Scary Movies

What movie has scared you? The movie that scared me the most when I was little was Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
Now I am not very into scary movies at all and the scariest movie I have seen was either Disturbia or when I was about 12 The Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It
Why? I liked the movies but I was absolutely terrified of the snake in that movie. Anytime we watched that movie I would always walk out of the room during the part and then come back.
For me I jump very easily in all movies and Disturbia had alot of parts that were like that, so Disturbia didn't scare me content wise it just made me jump alot, and not to mention it was very suspensful.
For the Haunting Hour it was just very creepy and I watched it at night alone in the back of my house and it gave me nightmares for a few days.

What makes a movie scary to you? When I was little it was really anything, except unlike most kids I wasn't afraid of what was under my bed for a very smart reason; it was because my mattress sat on top of a set of drawers so naturally nothing could fit under my bed.
Now just anything that makes me jump or want to close my eyes scares me, but for me the reason i don't watch horror movies is two reasons; one i totally freak out or two i like the movie. I don't want to take the chance of freaking out in the movie theater.

Life without my nightlight

Life without my night light would be a terrible fright
Life with my night light helped me combat darkness with light
Life without my night light would be a terrible fright
Life with my night light lit the way in case I had to tinkle right away
Life without my night light would be a terrible fright
Life with my night light kept the monsters away
Life without my night light would be a terrible fright
Life with my night light helped me fight the monsters of the night with all my might
Life without my night light would be a terrible fright
Life with my night light brightened my night
For this is the reason that life without my night light would be a terrible fright

What is Autumn to you?

Autumn is when I have to start wearing pants because it is getting colder.
Autumn is when I get to see all of the beautifully colored leaves on trees.
Autumn is also when I have to rake all those pesky leaves up.
Autumn is when all of my favorite T.V shows start their new seasons.
Autumn is when Halloween is and when all of our family get togethers start up again.
Autumn is also depressing because I know that a cold winter is on its way, especially this year.
Autumn is the last time I get to play outside in comfortable clothes.
Autumn is not my favorite season of the year.
