Halloween

On the other side of the lake adjustments are still to be made. Don't get me wrong, I am so happy for and proud of my best friend for making friends and having fun! Although I can't say that I'm not even a little jealous of what she's got. Not that my life here is terrible, it's doable. But it's not like it used to be.

Like, there was this huge party, and everyone knew about it, it was even being hosted by this girl in my Seminary class named Devree. And I heard people talk about it, but of course I didn't get invited cause I don't know anyone. I haven't gone to a single party here, normally in by now I would have gone to maybe two or three. Cause everyone knew everyone else and it was just really... nice.

I don't want to say that I am having problems here, but I do feel like I am that one girl that everyone is nice to out of obligation. Like, the two friends I have made, I went to the mall with yesterday, right? Sounds fun and all good. But it wasn't. At lunch I was asking Emily if she was staying after for basketball. She said no, she couldn't because she lost he knee brace and couldn't play basketball without it.

Then, Mady pipes up saying that also another reason Emily can't come is that Emily is coming to her house after school and then they were going to the mall to go shopping. So then she invited me to come along if I wanted. So I figured okay, and called up my mom and got it all sorted out. I got to go and I started out really excited.

Well, turns out they were shopping for Halloween costumes. Which really would not be a big deal. Except that a couple weeks before we'd planned to be Snap Crackle and Pop. But then for some reason that I never found out pans fell through and I got a text telling me that I needed to come up with my own costume. I was disappointed yes, but I figured oh well right?

Turns out that they were shopping for the Mario and Luigi costume that they were going to do together. So for hours I got to follow them around two different malls helping them to pick out their costumes that I didn't get to be a part of.

But I guess I have to be okay with that. I mean, I did come in and intrude on everything that they had. And maybe I have to find my own person to be Mario and Luigi with. Although honestly, in retrospect, I hope you all now that I would never in my life, agree to being Mario and Luigi.
