Happy Halloween!

Got the idea from my sister.

I worked both tonight and yesterday so I didn’t do anything to celebrate. I don’t really celebrate it at all, actually. But when I have my own place, I plan on throwing a kick-ass costume soiree.

Reunited and it feels so good…

I love being introduced to new music, movies, and TV shows and having the opportunity to welcome more into the big family of babies that I already love.

However, it can be just as nice to revisit some of those that you have forgotten overtime. Or maybe not forgotten but overlooked in lieu of the new things entering your life.

Recently, I’m on a huge binge of The Office. I’ve always enjoyed the show, but I never really watched it back-to-back like I’ve been doing now. The show continues to amaze me. Every character has their own personality and it makes for some classic jokes. And I can’t help it…I love that they push the envelope. Thanks to Michael Scott’s ignorance, they touch a lot of iffy areas, but that’s what makes it so darn funny. If you haven’t watched this (which I feel is nearly impossible 6 seasons in), I highly recommend you do. I also recommend It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (be warned though, it’s a whole new level of offensive).

In terms of music, I stumbled into this YouTube video yesterday and was nearly brought to tears.

First of all, this girl has a crazy unique voice. She addresses it at the end of the video in a humorous way. But the best part is the song, originally by the band Say Anything. Freshman year of college, my friends and I were all obsessed with them. They only had one album (I love every song, it is highly recommended by me) at that point. Then they released a double LP which has a bunch of good songs along with a bunch of just okay songs. Regardless, Max Bemis (who writes most, if not all, of the music and lyrics) is a genius when it comes to songwriting. His lyrics usually tell some kind of story and they don’t cease to amaze me. And for someone who is mostly rocking out, I love that I can be touched enough to cry.

What’s in the past is OVER.

I need to remind myself this fact a lot. I haven’t had to lately, but sometimes this familiar feeling crawls into my heart and stomach and it makes me feel sick and sad.

And what’s the point?

None of it matters.

When did it ever matter?

Actually…it’s sometimes good to realize and remember these things, even if they hurt at the time because…I kind of need to. It’s a reality check. It makes me feel super-awful but I also kind of want to laugh.

I tend to think I get the shit end of the stick…but maybe I’ve had it all wrong this whole time. Maybe there still is some hope in someway somehow.

Fresh Batch

Actually, I’ve had this developed roll of film for about a month now. But I finally scanned them in. I can’t wait to get the next roll developed…NYC is on there! I wish it didn’t take so long…

P.S. I know the ones on the right get cut off, but click to see the whole thing! I may need to change things up with a new template soon.

I wish I had something clever to say here.

Great weekend, folks! My sister Maria came in on Friday and it’s been weeks since I’ve seen her so I was very happy. I spent the night with her and a friend of her’s (who is very much a friend of mine), eating Chinese and accidentally buying a bunch of things at Old Navy (2 dresses, 2 tank tops, and 1 white V-neck tee for 8.45…yeah, I’m that good).

Yesterday was in the works for a couple of weeks. Ed and I met up with best friends and (my) ex-roomies Lauren and Tracy to see Saw VI (yes, I’ve seen them all…) and checked out Horror Hall. My sister came along for the haunted house. Let’s just say that I am the biggest wussy ever. I kept my eyes open for two of the rooms and then kept my head down and my eyes shut for the rest of the duration. It was very scary. Or maybe I’m just that big of a loser. Probably the latter. But the former is still relevant. I don’t like people popping out. And then they don’t leave you…they linger. SCARY!

Today, Maria drove us Jim Thorpe for the last day of a Fall Foliage festival they’ve been having. It was crazy crowded but wonderful as always. Then, we headed to a pumpkin patch. Good times, my friends…good times.

  I cannot wait for a new camera! My camera is old and weird and it washes colors out. These are tweaked. I love playing with Photoscape but I can’t wait to have genuinely good pictures as soon as I click the button.

And side note…this week is my last week of part-time working freedom. Sunday is my last day to sleep in or go out at 1 PM in the afternoon. I want to live up my free days before I’m stuck in a building ‘til 5:00 5 days a week.

…still kind of excited though.

Fall Foliage

The weather picked up this week and it was so lovely.

 

I know it will start to get colder, but I hope that doesn’t stop any of us from being outside.

My life hurts…

Man. Today was one of those days when pretty much every part of it sucks and you find yourself hating everything and being completely incapable of holding back every emotions (namely anger, annoyance, and sadness).

Good thing about today: I got the job and accepted it! Full-time, benefits, all the holidays off (finally!), growin’ up.

Bad thing about the good thing about today: I have to quit a job for the first time ever. And I don’t hate the job. And I just transferred to this new store. So I’m super-nervous. But…I’ll survive. I guess…
