Candy!

Posted on by scott

Have a good, safe Halloween, everyone.

Don’t forget to take pictures of any Westerfeldian costumes you wear tonight. And feel free to send them to me for posting here.

I’ve met my Scare-a-thon challenge, and will be posting video proof this weekend! (The fear. The fear!)

Now go out and scare people.

  2. Yay, second to post! I’ve got my camera ready for any trick-or-treaters wearing Westerfeldian costumes.

  3. Thirdto post! I’m at home reading and doing homework… I am nowhere close to being anything similar or a Westerfeldian costume. Mostly everybody dressed up as faeries, witches, guys with a robe/ fake weapon, or the scream. No Westerfeldian costumes here.

  4. R2D2!!!
    I adore Star Wars!
    So my mother went to drop my sister off for her youth group… me and my brothers snuck out to trick-or-treat… but not before I quickly drew on a flash tattoo with my eyeliner 😀
    I don’t have pictures… no digital camera or anything like that.
    But we got around to like ten houses and picked up some yummy candy. Then we got back just before my mother… she has no idea!!!
    Next year I’ll be going all out as a Special… I’ll be 18 so I can do whatever I want and actually celebrate Halloween… I can’t wait!
    My mother was like what the heck over the flash tattoo though >.<

  5. Happy Halloween, everyone! ^_^

    I haven’t seen any Westerfeldian costumes yet…makes me almost wish I had dressed up as a Special. 🙁

    But witch doctor is almost just as good. ;P (Scrubs + Fantastic decorated witch’s hat + “Medical texts” a.k.a. copies of Harry Potter = WIN)

  6. This Halloween was sooo boring for me. I’m too old to trick-or-treat, and this year I actually had to share the five bags of candy we bought with TorT-ers (read more about that on my blog). I wanted to scream every time the doorbell rang! Something along the lines of “Be gone with ye, evil candy beggars!”
    Too dramatic? I DON’T CARE!
    So, this year I did what pretty much everyone who doesn’t trick-or-treat (or chaperone trick-or-treaters) does: I watched lame Halloween movies and ate lots of candy. The candy part wasn’t so bad (okay, it was really good), but the movies my friends picked were terrible… so far.

    By the way, I don’t know what half the trick-or-treaters who came to my house were dressed as because I never answered the door. Though I don’t think there were any Westerfeldian costumes.

    p.s.
    the winner of the poll has been announced on hauntedorchid. Not surprisingly, Uglies won. 🙂

  8. I already went trick-or-treating and unfortunately i didn’t see any uglies costumes. 🙁 . But in my skool someone dressed up as a boat man (with a boat and a fishing rod) lol. 😀

  9. i was a special YAY i didnt trick or treat but i did walk aaround the neighborhood and write stuff on sidewalks in chalk

  12. I didn’t go trick-or-treating this year. Nor did I feel like being a special, as originally planned. Halloween was so boring this year for me 🙁

  13. I didn’t go trick-or-treating either, but i took my sis out and we got a ton of candy. 🙂

  16. awesome, scott-sama!
    i hadn’t even thought about a westerfeld-ian costume– most of my friends probably wouldn’t understand a Special costume anyway. I’m a leopard 🙂

    have a good halloween!

  17. What’s cool about it though.. Is my grandparents came in town and they brought a 3 pound bag of candy with them.

    And I’m gonna eat it ALL. Lol.

  18. Next year, I’ll pick out a cool, Uglies-related costume that people will get. If I’m not a Spice Girl. Or anything else for that matter. I can’t believe I was sick on Halloween! It totally sucked, but I went out anyway even though it was raining. Hey, that’s dedication… especially if free candy is involved. 😉

  21. Me and my friends dressed up as the Midnighters and went to a nearby grave yard and ateempted to use an ouija board.

  23. I dressed up as Envy this year. Ya know, emotion, 7 Deadly Sins? Yeah. No one got it. -_- Anyway. I did go trick-or-treating, even though I’m 13. I’m going until the people start telling me to go away because I’m too old. xD

    So, anyway. Good Halloween story- I was skipping, because I was really hyper, and of course, me being me, I trip over nothing, and fall flat on my face, in the middle of the sidewalk. I get up, and my tights and fishnets are all ripped to shreds. So I’m like, great. Anyway, my friend and I keep walking, and I go to check the time, and I realize my phone isn’t there. So, I figure I dropped it when I fell, so I run back, and it’s there in the grass. Anyway, by the time we got to my friend’s house, my knee was covered in blood. Turns out I scraped it pretty bad. So now my knee is covered in a gigantic band-aid, and I can’t bend it, otherwise the band-aid’s gonna fall off. So, yeah. ^^

  24. I had planned this AWESOME halloween partay that i was co-hosting with my non-bubbly friend(picture this=me, planning, my friend…providing space for the party)but she FLAKED ON ME! I wanted to go as Min(minerva) but since sunglasses at night are NOT cool/scary, and when i mentioned it to Amy-Wa(NOT from here)she was like “WOAH!”
    so no.
    But i had seen one of those time-warp ma-higgies you get in Samhain movies,leading to Aya’s city…
    I would.Totally.Have.Jumped.In.
    but not such luck.
    Instead,I escorted my 5-year old bro to a halloween party in our local rugby club, took him round the ‘haunted house’-which consisted of a blindfolded brother whilst his rubgy coach banged and clattered stuff for the Haunt-Factor, then being given evil death glares by the only kid my age and freezing my *** off since i was dressed as a TIGHT-WAERING FAIRY. At said Brother’s request.
    and no candy.
    I miss candy corn!*mumbles*stupidenglandthathasnocorncandyimissamericadarnenglandwithit’scoldnessandwhoeverisstillreadinggetsacookie,ohwell…DARN ENGLAND!
    Rants ends.Over and Out.

  27. i dont know what i was i just really wanted to wear this green dress that i had ot wear for dance haha i guess i kinda looked like i was from the 80’s

  28. there were many things i wanted to be for halloween. i wanted to be a special, poison ivy (from batman), darth vader, spiderman, batman, a jedi, and a person with vampire fangs, spiderman’s powers, a light saber, and a mask. i ended up being goldielocks…

  30. It is *pouring* rain this morning. I’m really glad it decided to wait, so that we could still go out last night.

    To All Westerblogian Writers/Novelists: November (that’s today!) is National Novel Writing Month! Think you can take on the challenge? Head over to NaNoWriMo.org. Find me! (audball) and we can be writing buddies. Good luck! 😉

  31. I didn’t go out because I hurt my wrist….and there were no friends for me to go out with. Plus, I am getting braces in a week so my candy intake is going to decrease dramatically. However, the night was pretty good. I was on the phone and I kept having to answer the door, holding a bowl of candy and a phone. I was a special last year if I can find it I’ll email you that pick.

  34. Those costumes are INTENSE.
    Everyone was like “Okay, I give up, what are you?”
    when I mentioned book, their heads exploded. Some one was like, “what are you carrying?” And I was like A HOVERBOARD!
    and They said it was awesome, ’cause they just watched Back To The Future. I got extra CANDY!!!
    It was totally fun.

  36. last night my freind (whose name shall not be mentioned cause its her birthday) tripped over some guys jack-o-lantern and the candle inside tipped over, the look on her face was PRICELESS

  37. i. am. exhausted. my throat hurts due to the fact that because me and my friends are “too old” for trick or treating, we need to do something really awesome to earn our candy…which meant that we sang “trick or treat” instead of yelling it…not only that, but we have four part harmony! then we started singing “we wish you a happy halloween……” oh and then this morning we’re all “AH HA!!!! IT IS FINALLY APPROPRIATE TO SING CHRISTMAS MUSIC!!!” so we sang for two hours. yeah. but that’s fairly normal for what me and my friends do at sleepovers. okay, so then AFTER THAT i had to leave early cuz of triathlon training (during which i nearly puked….*note to self: do NOT consume large amounts of candy before biking/swimming/running) and so NOW i’m just about to leave to go to ANOTHER party (my friend’s birthday party) even though I know perfectly well that i have more than 12 hours of homework to do. seriously. I have to finish typing/editing/revising my story for english class, PLUS i need to finish (not to mention START) my social studies project (which was assigned two…no, three, weeks ago) and i’m fairly certain that i have more homework, but i really don’t wanna think about that now. mostly cuz i need to leave in about twenty minutes and i’m probably about to faint cuz i’m just that tired…..i probably would be a lot more tired, but here’s the scarry part: this is how tired i am WITH CAFFINE! yeps. okay, so now i should go blow-dry my hair and go to my friend’s house…..cuz the party starts in less than an hour…..it would be REALLY nice if i could start some homework (seeing as i can’t do much tomorrow cuz of the fact that i’m volunteering at my church….so i wont be home til the afternoon) but my brain is not functioning well enough to do homework….heck, it wasn’t functioning well enough to bring my dishes to to sink (this morning at my friend’s house, i nearly dropped the dish….twice) so i’m just going to slowly back away from the computer now and possibly have a nap….

  38. oh, also at my friend’s house, all six of us watched the REALLY REALLY REALLY old version of Narnia….like, the one with really bad special effects…..it was mega-funny……but not quite as funny as the animated Lord of the Rings….that Bilbo face is priceless……lol…….okay, yes, me and my friends watch terrible movies…actually, the Narnia movies that we watched, ummm, they’re so bad that you can’t actually buy them anymore, we had to borrow them from the library (the librarian just looked at us as if we were retarded…obviously, no one had ever taken out those movies before)…..yeah…..

  40. I was going as a chef, but my mom’s friend brought a spooky bride costume over and I wore that. Too bad I didn’t have fake blood. that would’ve been sweet.

    I’ll be looking for that vid proof, scott-la!

  41. hehe. i wasn’t supposed to go trick or treating coz of my shoulder being messed up (and coz i’m too old but…watever) but i went anyway. there’s actually an interesting story to tell about this night sooooo i’m gonna tell it!
    ok so my sis was going over to my cousin’s to go “tot” (this was like a last minute thing so my sis’s costume sucked…so did mine but more of that later) so anyway my mom and i were dropping her off and i went to wish my cousin a Happy B-Day coz well it was her bday. so i go inside and start talking with my aunt and uncle bout my shoulder coz my cuz was upstairs getting ready. then she comes down and i’m like “happy birthday” and then my aunt told me i could stay and hang out if i wanted to and so i asked my mom and she said yes (reluctantly i might add) she also said i could walk around for a little bit but that was it. after that my sis and cousin get in their costumes (wizard-sis…80s girl-cousin) and i’m thinking “if iwalk around with them i wanna wear a costume” (originally when iwas gonna go tot i was gonna be a Smokie but that fell thru) so my aunt starts pulling out stuff for me to wear and i settled for a witch hat (wat i was actually wearing at this time was sweatpants, a t-shirt, and one of my dad’s long coats coz it fit over my sling and was comfy) so then we leave and my hat falls off so i’m just like “screw it! i’m gonna just say i’m Jason Bourne or a CIA agent or watever”…if u don’t know who Jason Bourne is well i feel bad for u. so we tot the whole time and no one asked me wat i was, but they asked my sis and cousin wat they were…it was weird (then again people just might’ve been scared of me and didn’t bother asking) ya so with my elaborate costume (the clothes i’d worn during the day) no one asked wat i was…i was almost disappointed..oh well…on the bright side i got extra candy coz i was injured! haha! my cousin was upset coz it was her bday and she didn’t get extra candy! haha!! 🙂
    so ther’s my Halloween story…though i don’t think it beats Andrea-la’s…i can’t believe u sang “Trick or Treat” in four part harmony…guess u’ll do anything for candy. i know i would.

    GREEN DAY!!!!! <3
    I DON’T KNOW U BUT I THINK I HATE U.
    UR THE REASON FOR MY MISERY.
    STRANGE HOW U BECOME MY BIGGEST ENEMY,
    AND I’VE NEVER EVEN SEEN UR FACE.
    WELL MAYBE IT’S JUST JEALOUSY,
    MIXING UP WITH A VIOLENT MIND.
    A CIRCUMSTANCE THAT DOESN’T MAKE MUCH SENSE.
    OR MAYBE I’M JUST DUMB!!!

  42. haha, I’m seventeen and I went trick-or-tricking!

    …anyway: I FINALLY GOT BOGUS TO BUBBLY! Just about an hour ago… half-way through it. In love with it!!! And I’m in the dedication! Thanks xamillion

  43. TYC I hope your arm get’s better soon! Although extra candy is always good 🙂
    I’m so busy this weekend! Unfortunately I’m too old to go tot 🙁 so I ended up going to my friends brother’s concert, then to another friends house to watch 1.5 movies, and then to another friends house for a sleep-over! Then this afternoon I had to go get a flu shot and now my arm is sore, and it’s my friends b-day party tonight, and then tomorrow I have to do a bunch of homework and I have a soccer game! Oh my… I need more time! Ah well, at least most of it is fun.
    Hope everyone had a great Halloween!

  45. Audrey-Sensei —> thanks for commenting on my blog 😀 I responded, and just added another post if anyone is interested.
    My blog isn’t half as icy as Scott’s and I normally don’t stick to my blogs that I periodically create, but hopefully I’ll stick to this one.

  47. i went trick-or-treating with my friend, and we went to this one lady’s house. she lives like, on the end of this dead-end street, so we were like, her only trick-or-treaters. so she gave us like SHOVEL FULLS of candy! AND she works for Mars candy, so we got these limited addition coconut m&ms and these awesome new Skittles that aren’t coming out til spring! there called Crazy Cores, and they’re like, one flavor on the outside and another on the inside. but since we both only got one bag of them, we’re trying to decide weather we shood eat them or save them. (even tho i REALLY want to eat them!!!)

    HELP!

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! 😀

  49. Ugh. lamee. I totally forgot that I was going to be a special! 🙁 I was all excited about it too!

    I ended up dressing all in white and my friend was all in black. We’re freshman, but we still went trick-or-treating. 😛

    Anyway, I SOO WOULD HAVE! (:

    Hey, what’s Scott’s email anyone?

  52. okay, i am procrastionating homework. here are my stats for today:
    Number of hours doing homework: 1
    Number of hours volunteering: 2
    Cups of coffee drank purely for the purpose of staying awake:1
    Cups of other cafinated drinks: 2
    Number of mini chocolate bars consumed: 4
    Number of times that I fell over (as in, butt on the floor) due to lack of sleep: 3….or 4….that last time i banged my head pretty hard.
    Number of breaks from homework: too many.
    Chances that I’ll get my homework done by it’s due date: none.
    Pages of book read: 10
    Pages of story typed: 2. Now i’m at a total of 13 pages. so far.

    Okay, now I should go back to work…hopefully soon my parents will wake up from their nap (needless to say, I wish i was napping right now) so that they can make me more coffee. Cuz otherwise, I’m gonna fall asleep.

  54. OMG!!!!! I am trying to write a story, and every once in a while I write a super good dialogue between two people, and when I do some of the sentences have green lines under them, so I right click and it says FRAGMENT (consider revising)! What should I do?!!??!?! Should I leave the fragment? Is that ok? or should I rewrite the sentence?

  55. I actually had a super sick Westerfeldian costume, but am not allowed to have picture of myself on the internet. I did the tatoos (Which came out fawesome, if I do say so myself.), and wore all black and gray, and had a hoverboard which I put a picture of Specials on so if anyone asked what I was I could just show it to them (It was annoying to carry.) Best Halloween every!

  56. I can’t believe I’m reading that you guys are like, 13, 14, and you’re TOO OLD TO TRICK OR TREAT?!?
    This year, at seventeen years old, I went trick or treating. I wish I could say I was creative enough to go as a Special, or an Ugly, or a Pretty, or whatever, BUT I ended up not being creative and just going by Bartz’s and I was a pirate. It was still a sick costume, though.

  57. Oh, And Miranda, just right click and say ignore. A lot of sentences are fragments. They’re the best ones if done tastefully. So just ignore Word, it has no creativity.
