thanks for the memories, on my stomach

While i was initiallly excited about the Olde Timey Banker costume, I think it was a bad idea to get the rolls of coins to go along with it. I don't regret going to the lengths i went to, for "authenticity". But, i probably didn't need to get 50 dollars in change. Five dollars in pennies would have been fine, and would have cut down on some of the bruising.

So, I went out Tricking with Willy, and Balz. Mother wasn't able to go with us as i had hoped, she said she needed to go tricking too. She said that downtown has the best tricking. Mother really likes candy i guess, cause i heard it's dangerous there. But, she's her own woman.

Well, we hadn't even made it to the second house before we saw a couple of kids who were dressed as "attackers". Just as I was telling Balz how i thought those two guys running toward us had done a great job on they're costumes, they grabbed my Penny Bag. But, THEY DIDN'T STEAL IT . . . no, they hit me with it. Right in the stomach. And THEN, they stole it.

Once the internal bleeding slowed, my temperature stabilized, and they set my ribs, the doctor said i could go on home. I'll remember this halloween for some time to come. Mostly because of the scars on my stomach.

"Attackers" is a popular costume this year. I was a naughty school girl for trick or treat. A lot of the boys in my neighborhood went trick or treating as "attackers."
Only the naughty school girl attracts attackers... None of the princesses, she-ra's or little mermaids were attacked. :(

"Olde Timey Banker" is actually the most attacked costume this year!!

"White Guy Dressed as Black Guy", is #2, followed by "Jared the Subway Guy", and "Random Ass-Grabber".

If that is a cry for help, I can't help you anonymous. I have my own problems. I don't know if you read the internal bleeding part, or the ribs part of my post.

Not taking anything away from your "knife wounds".
