.come on october!!!!.
ok, my best friend, lou-lou, and i have gotten into quilting. we're like lil old ladies!! haha! we're having a blast doing it! it's amazing how fast time flies when we're doing it... it's so relaxing. :) it's really cool to do something that looks so cool and know that i did it... all by hand. :)
i'm loving this weather right now. i can't believe how nice it is outside!!! i can't WAIT for october!! i LOVE the last 3 months of the year! october rocks because the leaves are turning gorgeous colors, the weather is so great that you can sleep with the windows open, i just love the smell of autumn. it's always been MY springtime. :) the best things always seem to come to me during this time of year. i always feel so alive and refreshed. plus there's halloween, then my birthday 5 days after, then thanksgiving, then christmas and new years. eeeeeeeeeek!!!!!!!!! i can't wait!!! i always get so excited about this time of year. (god i'm such a dork!)

isn't it funny how you look back on things and realize just how much you've grown as a person? it's funny how far i've come just since i turned 21. now i'm about to turn 24. it's amazing how much you learn about yourself and the world in a few years. someone once told me you change when you turn 21. they weren't kidding. it's like you go thru some kind of period where you revert to a kid again. not so much the drinking aspect, but i think it's a "capturing your freedom"/"recapturing your youth" thing. i've made some mistakes, made a lot of right choices, and learned from all of my experiences. i can say that no matter what happens to me, i am proud to be the person i am today. i know i've definitely done a lot of work on myself, coped with things that i didn't want to cope with. ultimately, i'm happy with who i am today. and i know i wouldn't be there without the wonderful family and friends and company i've kept. i owe them so much. and love them all for it. :)
i've always known the small things count. my favorite movie of all time (The Crow, DUH!) reinforces this and i live by it on a daily basis. (that and love rules all. hehe) i've only grown to live by this more and more as i grow each day older. i look forward to the small things. the seasons changing, a phone call that makes me smile, a hug and a kiss, spending time with those i love. yeah........

sorry, the onset of autumn always brings out my insightful perspective. i feel more creative, more alive during this time of year. i feel like writing a poem. i want to paint. i want to draw. i want to bare my soul in any creative aspect i can. i wanna let it all hang out.
the funny part, i've suppressed my "goth" side a lot over the past year. i'm blond. i don't wear as much black. in fact, i even wear blue jeans and LOVE them! but believe me, it's all about attitude and outlook on life. :) but i do miss getting all dressed up. :) hehe that's one hell of a way for me to express my creativity. :) *thoughts of tight vinyl clothes dance in my head* i do wish i had an excuse to get dressed up here and there, though.
anyway, i'm off. i need to cook something to eat before i settle down for bed. i want to sew a bit more tonight. but i may just chill in bed for a while. i may even take me a nice long bubble bath. oooo... bubbles and candles!! woohoo!! and sarah mclachlan. yeah, that'd be nice.....
