Halloween in Sea View

Blogsters and blogettes. Last night we went down 2 the beach 2 have our annual Halloween bonfire. It was our first one ever but we agreed to do it again next year. It was me and Suze and Suzes brother Richie and about five of Richies hangout buds. Richies been insisting 4 months that we all wear costumes. We were all busting on him 4 being a teenage girl about it but he wouldnt let it go. Thats the problem with Richie. Actually thats one of a bunch of problems with Richie. Richie said that since he was going 2 the fire house 2 get the permit 4 the bonfire it was his party and if we didnt want 2 wear a costume then we werent coming. Me and Suze werent going 2 go because of the costumes. Richie then had his first good idea ever. We would all dress up like our favorite Springsteen song character. Suze was all over it. She yelled out "The Girl From the Supermarket" and started ripping through old boxes of garbage in her closet. Finally she came up with a beat up old cap that Reg used to wear when she worked at Grocery Barn. She plopped it on her head and said "Done." I was considering Rosalita or maybe Wendy from Born to Run but I figured theyd be 2 much work. I finally decided 2 b Barefoot Girl from Jungleland ("Barefoot girl sitting on the hood of a car drinking warm beer in the soft summer rain"). All I had to do was take off my shoes and grab a beer 4 that one. Richie had no idea what he was going to b. He disappeared to figure it out. Me and Suze had a few puffs of Jersey-Grown before heading over 2 the beach because a couple of Richies friends are total mooches. My feet were killing me by the time we got over there. Next time Ill get into costume upon arrival. This way I wont have to walk 12 blocks barefoot through Sea View. When we got 2 the beach Richie was bent over the fire with his back 2 us trying 2 lite a monster stogie. He screamed and spun around with his straw hat on fire. Something that we later found out was two grapefruits in a nylon stocking were whipping around his waist. Suze ran over and pulled the hat off his head. His eyebrows had fallen out but the rest of him was okay. He was a sight with no eyebrows and the grapefruits hanging down from his crotch. When we finally decided hed be okay we asked him what the heck Richie was and he said "Big Balls Billy." We had no idea what he was talking about. He kept saying the name and then finally said it was from Rosalita. We didnt have the heart to tell him the actual line from Rosalita is "Sloppy Sue and Big Bones Billy theyll be coming up for air." The doctors say theres no permanent damage (outside his head) and that the eyebrows will grow back in a few months. Thats all I got 4 now. Later.
