Today I changed my computer’s desktop background to a really autumny picture to celebrate the coming of November. Like Lizz said in her last post I really love the month of November. I’d say it’s my favorite month, probably because of the rawness of it all. It’s not as pretty as October, but I think that it embodies autumn more so then October does. In November the air has a chill in it that warns of the coming winter, while October often times is still a bit muggy and
sometimes even straight up warm. In October all the leaves are just beginning to change colors, they are still vibrant and alive, but in November the leaves lay on the ground, wet and mushy, covering the sidewalks and the trees start to look bare, but with just enough color to make them beautiful. I love it so much! And I am beyond excited for Thanksgiving break!!
In other news I had a fabulous Halloween weekend! We established that Halloween goes through this period of time in high school where you can’t really get into it because you feel like you’re too old or too cool to participate in it. But then you get to college and it’s almost like you’re a little kid again because you get to dress up and go crazy, the only difference is that you also have an excuse to party pretty hard all weekend long. :-P
So I’d had plans to go over to “The Allen House” (we call it that because it’s located on Allen St., naturally) on Friday night for my friends’ “Space Olympics” Halloween party. On Thursday Kae and I went over after biology to help set up and decorate. I’d have to say we did a pretty excellent job. There was aluminum foil all over the walls in the main hallway and we made a ghost out their radiator. Then on Friday I got ready for the party in Kae’s dorm with Jen and
Lauren. I was proud that none of us looked like whores, unlike the other 98% of the girls that were going out that night. We even got a smile from the really hot GRC security guard!! But for real, we all looked really cute. I was Marvin Martian from the Looney Tunes, Lauren was The Milky Way, she wore all black and then taped Milky Way wrappers all over her, and Kae was “athletic” Princess Lea. The party was really fun! I played Kings for the first time, which was pretty awesome. And we had all chipped in $8 to buy a stash of liquor so you can imagine we got pretty drunk pretty fast after the first time someone pulled an Ace. (In Kings, if you pull an Ace you have to do a “waterfall” where the person that picked up the card has to start drinking and everyone else follows and can’t stop drinking until the person
to their right stops). After Kings, we all basically just hung out in the hallway and did some dancing.
On the actual day of Halloween I went home with Kae to carve pumpkins! This would, by the way, be only the second time I have ever carved a pumpkin in my entire life! It was fun, and my pumpkin was pretty legit. It was cool to get to meet Kae’s family, her sisters are crazy, and her parents seemed really nice. We got back to Richmond around 8 or so and decided to get ready to head back over to the Allen House to meet up with Sammy and some other people. For Halloween, I decided to do an 80’s costume, kind of reminiscent of Flashdance. The original plan was to pre-game at the Allen House and then head to find parties or maybe go to a dance party. But, it ended up pouring down rain a little after we got their so we decided to just stay in. We played Kings...again and then just chilled, played some music, talked, drank, it was a lot of fun!
I’m really happy because I feel like I actually bonded with a lot of the people that I spent time with this weekend. It’s a really good feeling knowing you’re making legitimate friends. Which brings me to Lizz’s tarot card reading for me. I’d been feeling a little down and out about my current prospects in the love department, but her reading further drove home the point that I need to be less focused on romantic pursuits and more so on just forming lasting friendships and relationships with the people I’m meeting. So that’s what I’m going to do. I know that I have a tendency to be really shy and quiet and I don’t let people (especially guys) in when I first meet them, which would prove to be a little difficult if I am trying to get someone to like me. So if I just focus on friendships I know I’ll be more myself which would up my chances for someone liking me for me. Haha, it sounds a little corny, but I think it’s a plan!
I love you guys, and miss you!

PS: I decided that the tattoo that I get of writing is going to say “The Most Happy” now. It was Anne Boleyn’s motto when she was queen. I thought it was really cool and also appropriate to get when I’m so young and in my prime. Also, Anne Boleyn is such a badass!! :-D
