Feels like Halloween just came out of nowhere this year. I didn't see it coming so quickly. I just didn't feel the holiday's presence and spirit since the synergy of high school teachers and students just weren't there. College is much more independent.
Various friends/groups of friends have invited me to go trick or treating with them this year, but I just didn't really feel like tricking or treating for some reason. My desire to spend a night running around getting free candy that I'll never eat just didn't peak my interest. Lame attempt at trying to spell out "maturity?" Don't think so. I'm being honest. I don't have a costume either, although I could always fish up an old one from my closet. Every year, finding a new costume was always the biggest problem. Took years to find one. I was never creative enough to come up with my own hahaha.
I wasn't in the mood to seek out any parties either. Half my friends want to go trick or treating while the other half of my friends are looking for some crackin parties they can get smashed at. Or just have a good time I suppose... I've never been to any real big parties before so I wouldn't know, but from what I've heard from fellow male friends, all I think of when I hear the word "party" is: alcohol, girls, and possibly drugs, but mostly alcohol... I was never the party type. I'm not a very social person either, but I'm social in my own way.
Another friend of mine invited me to come visit her church for some halloween thing for children (games etc). They said another friend (not from the church) was coming to visit and insisted that I come join. It seems pretty fun, I'm probably going to go visit over there tomorrow if anything.

Anyways my mom's friend was planning a get together to see Paranormal Activity 2 and I highly suggested that my mom go out and see it, but she hadn't seen the first one yet. So I decided to spend my uneventful Saturday night (last night) re-watching the first Paranormal Activity with my mom. It wasn't as scary as the first time in the theaters, but it was still scary nonetheless. I still enjoyed it a lot. Don't understand why so many people disliked the movie. Many people told me the movie wasn't that scary and was boring. Especially the beginning. I can understand why people would find the beginning boring and uninteresting, but I personally really liked it because that portion of the movie was character development. And character development is crucial in most good stories. You can't just have a horror movie flat scaring the audience (or trying to) from beginning to end. Those types of movies just turn out being lame. Not that I'm saying Paranormal Activity is a prime example, and I'm no expert movie critic, but I believe that any movie that can excel in its story AND genre is really good.
