Friday Five (yay! questions this week!)

[servermonkey]

1. What was your first Halloween costume?
I think I was one of those really unhappy clowns you see in horrible paintings. I think

2. What was your best costume and why?
I've never had any really great costumes. My mom did try (and did a decent job) of making an Elfquest character costume for me (it was Skywise), but I made a horrible elf.

3. Did you ever play a trick on someone who didn't give you a treat?
Never. Though I think I would now.

4. Do you have any Halloween traditions? (ie: Family pumpkin carving, special dinner before trick or treating, etc.)
Nope, my family wasn't into traditions.

5. Share your favorite scary story...real or legend!
I have several. One involves a spirit of a drowned apartment dweller--from the floor above us in Queens. Another involves a psycho living in a run down home a few blocks from church. Both were real stories, but I wonder about the spirit one.

5. Share your favorite scary story...real or legend!
When I lived in Queens I SWEAR there were ghosts in our house. It was always quiet during the day, but it got noisy at night. My parents said it was "the house settling" and "the pipes," but those things don't whisper. To this day I swear on the noises I heard.

Perhaps Queens is at the center of some weird psychic phenomena.

Maybe in my mind, I'm just trying to block out any of my horrible memories due to that story about the drowned person in our apartment complex.

Dressed as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, eh? Cool.
