Well, every so often, we hold a special AWANA night (e.g. Pizza Night, Ice Cream Night, Crazy Hair & Hat Night, etc.) Last Friday was "Bible Character Dress-Up Night".
Hopefully I don't have to explain it. :D
Anyway, even though I, as a teacher/helper at AWANA, am under no obligation to participate (technically not even the kids are, but there's prizes for best and most original, so that's encouragement enough), I decided I'd have a little fun and join in. And, since I was a teacher, I wanted to have a really cool, somewhat-original costume (Gotta be a good example for the kiddies, y'know :D). So, after mulling over what would fit the bill, I came up with what seemed to be the perfect idea.
I'd say it here but you can read the title of the post. (heh, I'm so lazy I'll say all this instead of just giving you the name)
My plans, at first, were quite extensive. After buying two, three-dollar, black bedsheets at Wal-Mart, I took pains in planning out how I was going to cut them, sew them, put them together, etc. (Yes, I know how to sew [a little]) Somehow, my mom talked me out of it and convinced me to just use a simple design and safety pins. I think she thought it a waste of perfectly good bedsheets. Anyway, I ended up cutting up one of them. I even had plans to make my staff into a scythe, but, alas, my procrastination got the best of me and I ended up with no time Friday night (after getting a lesson ready, eating dinner, blogging, and pinning my cloak together). So, I went with a staff. Not like the Angel of Death had either, but I wanted to get the message across. Bet he didn't even wear black for that matter, heh heh.
Anyway, all that to introduce these pictures to you.
Lol, perfect time for red eye in the first one. In all of them actually. Makes me look a little bit more evil than the Angel of Death though, I think. :D

Spooky! I wonder if I could take the Angel of Death in a fight.
Probably not.
The angel of death is not scriptural, is he? You certainly did look scary, though. My angel of death, if there is one, will be white and golden and full of light, I predict, for a straight shot to heaven. I can't wait.
More to the point right now, though, if you went to karate class last night don't you want to blog about it? I could not go; I'm sure the whole class was bereft without me (or not).
I actually am gonna blog about it, but I got to memorize some lines from "Le Cid" for French IV which I have unwisely-yet-as-usual left for the last minute.
In case you were wondering, class wasn't anything incredibly special, but it was good review.
And, oh yes, the Angel of Death is VERY scriptural (the ten plagues of Egypt?), however I doubt my costume is. I exercised much artistic license with that. :)
I realize he probably doesn't dress like the grim reaper, but if I went to AWANA dressed like Gabriel, how would I be any different from all the other angels? Gotta get the point across, y'know.
