The Superhero I Chose

Well...today I'm SUPERCABBAGE!  I hadda be a cabbage a long time ago when my birthmom turned me into one by accident.  Cause she's a wizard but sometimes she gets a lil carried away 'n I think she drank too much faery grog or somethin.  Anyhow she turned me into a cabbage 'n boy she made a druid real mad doin it.  Anyhow I got turned back into a girl, but then after we got adopted, my uncle hadda be a banana...I forget why.  So I turned into SUPERCABBAGE to make him feel better.  Then I got in a fight with a rabbit and won with my trusty sword!  Well...I forgot how to use it so I hadda read the instructions.  But it ain't matter cause I'm SUPERCABBAGE!!!  SAVIN VEGGIES AROUND THE GRID!!  And kids too, cause if I save their veggies then they ain't gotta eat em...  And I made my own sword since I ain't sposed to bring real ones to school.

Course when I got home, my mom made me take a bath.  Whoever heard of a superhero hadda wash behind their ears?  Er...leaves?  Whatever.

So if you ain't wanna eat your vegetables just call SUPERCABBAGE!!

Are You Pessimistic or Optimistic and Why?

Well...I spect mostly I'm that pesty word cause I figure if you ain't hope for too much, it's harder to get let down.  Cep that ain't always work too good cause sometimes you ain't hope for nothin extra but then folks come along 'n kick you in the teeth anyhow, 'n that ain't too much fun.  But it can be kinda okay too cause when you ain't hope for nothin, if someone DID come along 'n do somethin' real nice or make you special then well, you got a real nice surprise you ain't even expectin.  Mostly though folks'll hurt you so it's better if you ain't have too much faith in em.  Like you can be friends with em 'n stuff 'n believe in em but that ain't mean you gotta let em real, real close.  Cause then you start gettin feelings in there 'n you can't think straight for nothin so if they do somethin dumb, then it'ud really hurt you.  But the other way, you can still be their friend but they can't hurt you so much.

But sometimes way inside I might dream 'bout lotsa things.  But I ain't dumb enough to tell no one...

What I Want to Be for Halloween

Well... I wanna be a gypsy, but I ain't found no good costume yet.  See last year me'n Bren were both witches, but I seen this gypsy costume I liked loads only I's kinda dumb 'n I ain't buy it.  Mainly cause I already had a costume.  I ain't even remember what store it was in, only where it was.  Well, all them stores closed 'n moved so I ain't know where it went 'n I been lookin' everywhere 'n I ain't find it.  So I asked someone if they could make one 'n they said they're gonna try.  So if that works out I"ll be a gypsy.

I ain't really know why I wanna be one.  My birth mom'us one.  They're kinda cool, gypsies, cause they got their own clans 'n their own laws 'n they get to roam around all over the place.  Plus, they're storytellers 'n they perform 'n stuff 'n I like that. Imma be a storyteller when I grow up.  Plus they got super cool horses.

What Animal I Chose 'n Why

I'mma pick the seahorse, cep I ain't really wanna hafta pick just one cause there's a awful lotta cool stuff.  But I figure ain't no one else gonna do a seahorse, 'n I wanna do somethin' ain't no one else gonna do.  Plus seahorses're real weird 'n funny so there's prolly lots to do.  They ain't like no other fishes 'n they got real cool tails.  Some of em got spikes even, 'n the boys hafta have the babies.  I'mma learn about them.

Why Did You Choose Oceanside School?

Well... Bren used to go to Hardknock, 'n she wanted to go to school real bad, but it just ain't really work out for her too good.  I ain't go cause I ain't wanna go to school at all, 'specially after she went.  So we heard 'bout this school 'n the town 'n my mom was lookin' for us a new house.  Bren wanted to go to a real school 'n we figured since this one was new, maybe it'ud be better cause everyone would be new sorta.  Well... my mom ain't like me skippin' out on school even though I figured I was smart enough already, but she tole me I hadda go.  So here I am.  Cep I'm pretty glad I came cause this school's way funner... well, mostly ... than I thought it would be 'n I got to make lotsa friends.  Bren 'n me were throwaway kids so long we ain't really had no friends 'n Bren ain't really make none at her other school.  So this was a pretty good choice, 'n I like school a lot now.  Specially soccer.

I Was Scared Once...

Well…I ain’t really get scared so much ‘n if I did, I sure ain’t dumb enough to show it.  Cause when some tough kid’s messin with you or some stranger who’s tryin’ to hurt you, you get scared ‘n they think they’re winnin.  Cause that’s what they want so I ain’t never show em if I did get scared.  You just gotta tell yourself you ain’t ‘n then nail em a good one to prove it.

Cep one time I did get scared.  I went to see this movie that was sorta a ghost movie ‘n it messed with your brain a lot.  So it was pretty creepy, but I liked it pretty fine anyhow.  But it kinda stuck in my brain, like when you see somethin’ that kinda scares you a lil in a movie ‘n you think about it later.  Well I ain’t really thinking ‘bout it but one night it was real, real late…like way past my bedtime.  But I was still up cause my mom ain’t there to tell me to go to bed.  So I hadda go downstairs ‘n the house was all dark ‘n spooky, ‘n it was kinda creepy so I spect I was thinkin bout that movie a lil bit.  I went in the back room ‘n flipped on the light ‘n walked in AND THERE WAS ANOTHER PERSON IN THAT ROOM!

Well…lemme tell you, I was most scared clean outta my Underroos ‘n my skin too!  I prolly jumped higher than I do on coach jill’s trampolines ‘n hollered fit to bust.  Prolly did one of them cartoon things where their eyes bug out ‘bout eight feet ‘n they ain’t even land on the ground 'fore they take off runnin’.  ‘Fore I went hightailin’ it outta there though, I looked again… ‘n then I figured out all I’d seen was my own reflection in the cabinet door cause it was made outta metal.  It moved when I walked in ‘n I just saw it from the side ‘n thought it was someone else.

Well…I felt pretty dang silly, I gotta say ‘n I laughed at myself a good ole long time ‘n Bren ‘n everyone else did too when I tole em that story.  ‘n you can laugh too, I ain’t mind.

How I Feel about Hallowe'en

Well...that's kinda a hard question cause I got sorta mixed up feelin's 'bout Hallowe'en.  There's parts of it that's kinda fun, but then there's other stuff 'bout it that I ain't really think's too great an idea.

Dressin' up in a costume's real fun -- me 'n Bren have lotsa fun doin' that.  And there ain't no kid I know who ain't like to get free candy 'n stuff or parties at school 'n stuff like that.  So I like them parts real fine. 

Sometimes folks make bad stuff into good

I guess there's somethin' to Samhain.  That's the day of the dead 'n I spect it's always real important to remember 'em.  Even though I ain't believe in no spooks so I ain't think they gonna come back 'n haunt you if you ain't.  But some things 'bout Hallowe'en I ain't like.  Cause it mostly's a day when people make all the real bad stuff look real cool like dyin' 'n killin' people 'n stuff.  Plus sometimes people do real bad stuff like wreckin' people's houses'n cars 'n tearin' stuff up cause they figure cause they're in costume ain't no one can do nothin' 'bout it.  I ain't believe in mosta the Hallowe'en stuff nohow so it ain't really my fav'rite holiday.
