Halloween time, is one of my least favorite holidays. I love seeing little kids in costumes showing off their favorite character from a movie or something creative, but I am not a fan of the people showing off scary costumes. Nor am I a fan of halloween movies, shows or scary movies in general.This year was the first year I was not home to celebrate halloween. This year I was on campus and they had a trunk or treat thing with all different organizations. My favorite thing was seeing all the cute little kids dressed up and coming around to play our game, bowling. I remember being that young and getting excited to play games and get free candy for it. Although we had a trunk or treat at church and there was thing cake walk and I played several times to where I got many desserts… There was a lot of sugar rushes on Halloween when I was younger.
Well anyways, this year I wanted to be Sandy. Ever seen Grease? Yeah I wanted to be her, especially since this year I dyed my hair blonde. I was set on being Sandy till the day before. I realized my hair is much longer than Sandy's and curling my hair wouldn't turn out as curled and perfect as hers. So I opposed it but thought of the whole black outfit theme, and went for being Dauntless. I was Tris Prior. The trunk or treat wasn't until later on that day so around 12 I went to Walmart to find a fake tattoo of birds. It's halloween and the year before they had them, so they should have some now right? WRONG. I couldn't find any so I just grabbed some aztec tattoos and called it good.
Then I got back and decided I needed to watch Divergent in order to get into character for that night to impress the kids. Do you know what I noticed once I opened the box to Divergent? A TATTOO OF THE BIRDS! So I said, alright cool now I don't need to worry about that. I proceeded to watch Divergent, I needed to take in every movement and become as confident as her. That is Dauntless people, never show fear. Well it was time for me to pack my stuff and head to my friends to get ready.
We went to my friend K.N's house, and my other friend K.V helped me get ready by curling my hair. Obviously in the movie she never has her hair done, and I was told plenty of times to look the part and just leave my hair, but I should at least look presentable because guys from our school would be there. Remember those bird tattoos I found in the dvd case? Guess what happened to them. I forgot them, of course. What did I do, you ask. We improvised, and made our own.
This was honestly the best thing I have ever experienced. I had finished getting ready early because I just wore black leggings, a black shirt, and my leather jacket. (Dauntless are all black), so we tried making an 'at home' tattoo. Before we tried this we traced it on paper, and K.N wanted to free draw the birds on me. WRONG. So finally we found the 'at home' idea and tried it. Although it didn't work as well as we wanted it did work well enough to where we could see an outline of it. I joked and said this is my third official tattoo and sent my mother a snap chat saying "sorry mom". The funny thing is while I sent my mother the video I never looked at the birds, or at least never realized the birds. Half way with the second bird I heard chuckling. Hearing chuckling is never a good thing when your friend is drawing on you with a sharpie. I pulled out my phone and looked at the camera of it and realized the birds were HUGE. They were not proportional at all and ended up looking like blobs. We took a good 20 minute laugh from it, and settled with, they are kids it won't matter to much it's the idea.

While waiting on K.V and D to finish getting ready we played inside tennis with a nerf tennis racket and a small ball. We had to sadly end because K.N had a great idea of playing baseball and was mere centimeters from hitting my head. Finally everyone was done and it was time to go give kids candy. Although I was sad this year I couldn't go home and stay a kid and get candy myself, I did have a good time getting my third tattoo and almost getting hit with a ball.
(The Final Outcome)
"Fear doesn't shut you down. It wakes you up." -Four, Divergent.
