Sweetie2 - 9/5/2021 11:38amSo heres a funny story, I got tricked into walking into a machine that makes me fall asleep. Indefinitely!
How FUN >:(
ANYWAYS...
So heres what happened.
Ms. Hazeltine exscused me from my first period, so I could go to her office. She tells me I need to go in the machine. I ask her why, and she dismisses my question. That shoulda been a red flag for me. But being the obidient girl I am, I went into the machine. She closed it up tight immediately. I could still see and hear (although everything was muffled), so I was able to catch her saying,
"Thank you Sweetie. Now Hannah can participate," before turning it on and me falling into a deep sleep.
So yeah
That happened
OH AND BY THE WAY
IVE ALMOST COMPLETED MY PLAN TO KILL @
Anything Owl!!!!
YOU WILL PAY, YOU STUPID STUPID OWL
Sweetie :3

Deadra Horsley - 8/29/2021 11:09pmThe attack of the crows was horrific.
Ok, maybe "horrific" is too strong. There weren't any plucked out eyeballs or bloodshed of any kind (except some scraped knees) but have you ever been attacked by a murder of crows? All those beaks. All those claws. All those feathers.
I gave up all the food I was holding (including the Australian licorice in my pocket) just like it says in the safety brochures, but then it became clear the crows were after more than our food, and were plucking us up by our shirtsleeves and hair and carrying us off! (The brochures say you shouldn't wiggle once you're up in the air like that.)
So now there's a whole bunch of us in this crazy nest up in the hills. At least I assume it's up in the hills, but the stars look different. Anyway, it's definitely a big twiggy nest. Why are we here? Crows don't eat people, do they? I mean, live people? And aren't "nests" supposed to be @
Anything Owl's jurisdiction? What's going on? I've got classes starting like, next week. And even though there's tons of popcorn and half eaten hamburgers here, I really want to get back to my own bed,
Hey -- is that a kit kat? Will you split that with me?
Heavenly Betsy - 8/28/2021 11:23pmTaking first place in the Banshee Roping at the Psychic Fair and Rodeo has been one of the greatest honors of my life, and I'd like to acknowledge the stiff competition from Nightmare High and Pecos Bill Elementary. I'd be proud to rope ghosts at your side any time, partners.
I think it's also time that I come clean with you all. While you've all been mighty gracious accepting me into this school, as well as this psychic rodeo, it wasn't so long ago I went by a different name around these parts. And that name was @
Lasso Larry.
See, I spent a long while lost in those Worm Gardens, and during that time I got to learn a lot about myself, and it was during that journey that I discovered that I'd just be a lot more comfortable being @
Heavenly Betsy. So I headed to the psychic ladies' western wear shop and picked out a whole new me! I've never felt so free at being myself before, and taking first place in the Banshee Roping has been just the icing on top of a beautiful cake.
And so, as I cut into this beautiful 5 story rodeo cake (kindly supplied by our friends at the Brain Freeze ice cream and bake shop in the city), I'd like to dedicate this first slice to---
Well what in tarnation will you look at that! It's those darn CROWS! The sky is black with 'em! Everybody take cover underneath the bleachers!!!!
Lemony Green - 8/27/2021 10:19pmWow. I've never been to a Psychic Rodeo before but that was awesome!
When I found out the moon phase wasn't right for Werewolf Riding, I figured I'd just attend as a spectator but boy was it worth it! How do those psychic cowpokes rope those ghosts anyway? I heard it's something about a silver lining.
First, the clowns (in their skeleton costumes) go to the center of the ring, then they uncork their bottles and the banshees fly out. Some kind of protective circle keeps them from flying into the crowd and entering into our mouths and stuff.
Then the cowpokes come out and have to rope one before the buzzer goes off. They say it doesn't hurt the spirits (on account of their uncorporealness) but they sure get caught and squeezed a bit. Then the cowpoke (boy or girl or whatever) has to land them and administer the final binding spell and raise their hands when it's done and that's their official time. That student @
Heavenly Betsy got to the qualifying stage but still has to go against the cowpokes from Necromancy High and Ghostbusters High and some other heavy hitters. Totally going tomorrow night!
Dora Moody - 8/26/2021 10:21pmSo my uncle owns Moody Crows, the waste removal service they are using at the Psychic Fair and Rodeo. You've probably seen his specially trained crows wearing their little yellow vests, hanging around at the dumpsters and stuff, or quietly picking up the occasional dropped french fry or dirty napkin or chicken carcass.
Uncle Len has asked me to be his Customer Service Ambassador to Psychic High School, so just in case you want to leave him (and his cute little crows) a 5 star rating or recommendation for the great job they're doing, just let me know!
And if you want your own private meeting with the crows, I can arrange that too. We can put you on our Instagram! He also made me Social Media Manager.
Heavenly Betsy - 8/25/2021 10:54pmWell I'll have to let @
Deadra Horsley know they've got her stretched out soda bottles down at the carnival. I figured I'd visit the midway to test my myself at their games of skill and accuracy, but confound it they're a lot harder than they look! Those soda pop bottles kept weaving and bobbing, and their heads kept expanding and my ring kept bouncing off! I wasn't any better basketball hoop throw, on account of the balls multiplying and knocking each other around.
And to top it off, I kept getting attacked by crows! I had a veggie dog raised to my lips and one crow swooped down and took it right out of my hand. Then I had a bag of popcorn and another crow swooped down and made off with the whole bag. Then I had a stick of cotton candy in one hand and a cup of cola in the other and two crows swooped down and took them both.
If I'd had my lasso there and then I'd of showed those crows. But I've got to be careful to keep my roping arm in shape for the rodeo this weekend.
Ms. Hazeltine - 8/22/2021 10:21pmOh yes Hannah, that sounds like a wonderful idea. Even if you have no experience whatsoever, I'm sure it would be perfectly safe for you to take part in the Psychic Rodeo. You don't mind being roped, do you?
In fact, you should attend the Ghost Hoedown this Thursday, which is a little soiree the ghosts put on the night before the rodeo starts. It would be a great way for you to get to know the other ghosts and wailers. If you bring @
Sweetie2 by the Intensity Learning Lab in the Psychic Resource Center earlier that evening, we can hook her up to some of the school's old mandatory education tapes and I'm sure she'll sleep deeply the whole night through.
Meanwhile, the Psychic Fair and Rodeo is open for business! The carnival midway opens each night this week and through the weekend at dusk. All rides free for students and associated others. If you observe any residents of the town slipping in, please practice Level 5 Outsider Isolation Protocols, and let your RA know.
During the day, be sure to visit the exhibition halls to see the Psyhigh 4-H club's entries in the mythic animal husbandry competition, as well as memory quilting, poisonous jam and pie contest, and mental hay and fencing division I. We'll be competing against paranormal schools district-wide, so be sure to come and show your Psyhigh Spirit!
Sincerely,
A. Hazeltine
Student Activities Coordinator
Sweetie2 - 8/21/2021 9:23amHANNAH TALKS TO @
Ms. Hazeltine
Hi again! Its Hannah posting again!! Recently ive noticed that a lot of my fellow ghosts are participating in this Rodeo or something. I don't want to be left out!
I know that the person you should go to for anything Psyhigh activities related is @
Ms. Hazeltine. So earlier this night, I decided to talk to her about it. It didnt QUITE go as planned.
So, as Sweetie went into a deep sleep, I quietly flew over to @
Ms. Hazeltine's office.
I knock on the door.
The noise seems to echo in the empty hallway.
I knock again.
No answer.
I knock a third time.
This time, she answers.
She looks a little tired, but she still keeps great posture. When I reveal myself, she still looks surprised, but not as much as most of the others were. I guess it's because she's dealt with quite a few ghosts in her career.
"Well, what a surprise! A ghost! I haven't seen you around campus! Ever! Nice to meet you!" She says cheerfully but also formally.
I dont know how she does that.
"Hello! My name is Hannah Arias! I have to haunt Sweetie for her entire life! I want to talk to you about the Rodeo or whatever." I say.
"Okay! What about it?" She asks.
"Well I was wondering if-" I am cut short.
I fade away.
I can explain why.
Sweetie had a night terror.
Which woke her up.
And if youve been keeping up with my entries, you will know I can only appear when Sweetie is asleep.
So I had to fade away.
I wasnt able to ask her my question then.
But I can now.
@
Ms. Hazeltine,
May I participate in the Rodeo?
Deadra Horsley - 8/19/2021 11:02pmSo it seems like all the kids on campus are helping the spectres set up the carnival.
How do you do that? How do you get that job? Do you introduce yourself? Just walk up and say "Hey how can I help?" That seems awkward. Maybe just grab something and start carrying it around till one of them waves their ghostly appendage at you? Or screeches out their banshee wail? I guess I'd be scared just to walk up and talk to one of them.
So I sat on the hill overlooking the fairgrounds and watched. I saw the little kids from Wandering Pines come out of the woods, stumbling around like drunk little saplings. Their teachers came out behind them but, being full grown, were much slower.
Then one of those Zephyr blimps arrived with a giant disco ball and lowered it onto a tower the carnies had constructed out of broken wooden pallets and 13 foot ladders and scrap antennae struts from Arecibo.
It was beautiful in the setting sun.
So will we buy tickets for each ride? Or are there be wristbands?
Heavenly Betsy - 8/15/2021 10:40pmWith all the screeching and racket down near the fair grounds, I had to go down and see what it was all about. Almost got hit in the head by a flying door!
Of course I brought my lasso, so I ended up making a fun night of it lassoing flying carnival props, like tent poles and popcorn carts and even a merry-go-round horse. Got in a tug-o-war with one of these ghost carnies, and as I had no right to be stealing their best material, gave it all back. It was then I offered to lend a hand.
It was the ghost carnies that suggested I enter banshee roping at the Psychic Rodeo, and that's a thing I think I'll do. But I promised to come back again tomorrow night and help them raise the ferris wheel.
