Hi everyone,It's fall!!! Time to get sPoOKY,BOO!! did i scare you?So what is everyone being this year?(me first...im being the white swan and my friend is being the black swan!)

Hii!! Well this year would be my last year as dressing up and trick-and-treating, (I`m in 8th grade) and would be in high-school next year so... for my last year of dressing up; I would dress up in the SUPER SCARY costume that I could think of...any ideas of scary costumes? And nope you didn`t even scare me lol

* well yeah but this year I kind of dressing up for Halloween bc of my younger sister, and she wants me to go with her...still this year!

I'm sooo excited for Halloween, I haven't decided for sure yet, but I'm either being Anya Forger, or a character I made up, Sage

Hey! Nice to meet you! Sorry, I don't celebrate Halloween but that sounds really cool!

I don’t really know what to dress up as yet… I want to do something with my friends, though.

Haha, scared me right out of my chair! 😂 Uh, I’m not dressing up this year. I’m a little old for it (next year I’m in high school 😐) plus I never really enjoyed it in the first place, Halloween is not really my thing. I love the swan idea! So elegant!! 🦢

Wow. Looks like we are little bit different! I LOVE Halloween and other scary stuff but not the spiders... and this year would be my last year of dressing up and trick-and-treating... I would miss that lol

Oh, darn! Our first difference! Yeah, I mean, Halloweens not bad but I prefer Christmas. I didn't really love trick-or-treating growing up (too scary I guess) but the only incentive was the candy! 😂 But come the holiday season, watch out! I go all out!

lol really?!? And that`s happens! I always go out for a trick-or-treating while growing up...and this year I went to the haunted fort with my friend and my friend and I got REALLY SCARED by those seniors in high-school who are getting paid to scare ppl! 🤣 but hey we are still the same!!

Yikes, you are so much braver than I am! I would not even make it past the front of something supposed to be haunted! 😂 But yeah, still twins forever! 😀

Lol well yeah for sure! I just love really, REALLY SCARY stuff ! 🤣

I only dressing up for Halloween this year this time for my younger sister, she wants me to go with her...yup!

Aww, that's actually really sweet! I'm the youngest in my family and I remember asking my older sister the same thing! 😂

Yeah my younger sister said that Halloween would never be same without me so I ended up agreeing to go with her this year....and really?

nice! I'm being witches with my friends!

Hey guys! I have not been on for a little bit because my conputer had a virus. How are you all doing?

Eek! That’s not good! I’m, in doing pretty good personally but academically I’m kind of drowning schoolwork but I shouldn’t complain, I have gotten good grades so far (92% on a Pre-algebra test!!!) but it’s still pretty hard. But I keep reminding myself that some people never get the opportunity to learn so I’m lucky. Sorry, that was long and rambling! 😂 How are you??

Good! Thanks for asking! I know what you mean, but 92% is really good!
