Nice ass, Samson.
I hope everyone had a great Halloween over the weekend! I spent actual Halloween just handing out candy and watching Casper, but I dressed up as Willy Wonka and baked brownies for the APO party on Saturday night.
Snooki glasses, apparently.
Me and a vampire nurse.
Making Gollum faces. That fairy had better not take my mediocre pizza.
Fudge brownies with chocolate and peanut butter chips, iced with green cream cheese frosting, with cookies and crumbled up graham crackers for graves, and gummi worms for effect. The tree and SPOOKY are little wooden figures I got at the craft store.
There were other cool costumes too, like Dexter and a bunch of crayons, but I'm too lazy to put them up now. Photos on request.
Saturday morning I volunteered at a breast cancer walk in Forest Park. I had to wake up at 4:30 and get there at 6:30, before the sun was even up. It was freezing cold for the first few hours, and even though it warmed up around 10, I laid down for a nap that afternoon and couldn't stop shivering, like my body hadn't purged itself of being that cold. But I had a nice time overall, hanging out with my APO buddies, ringing cowbells at walkers, and eating McDonalds for lunch.
I have that giant Job paper due on Monday, so that's my focus this week. I have 1077 words written out of the 2500 I need, so I can stay on track if I write about 350 words a day. I need to step up my research, though, especially since I still don't really understand what Job was about. Plain language Bibles to the rescue!
I had three tests in five days: Bio last Thursday, History on Friday, and Lit on Monday. I got an 86 on the Bio test, which was the class high, and met the goal I set for myself. Haven't heard back on the other tests yet, but I think I did well.
I feel out of touch with everything today, since I'm not doing NaNoWriMo or voting. I'm not doing NaNo because I'm way too busy this month, and I'm not a novelist anyway. I'm not voting also because I'm busy, and I'm not even sure I'm registered. I don't remember filling out any forms. Does it happen automatically when you turn 18? I don't pay attention to those things because I don't pay attention to politics. It seems like a lot of people arguing to me, and I don't think I want to be a part of it. And I don't want to give an opinion on an issue if I don't know anything about it, and I just don't have the time or the interest to educate myself. I'm fine with other people voting and involving themselves in politics, I just don't think it's the right choice for me as an individual. And that's what it's all about, isn't it, making your own decisions and sticking to your own opinions no matter what other people say?
I'm excited for November, because November means Thanksgiving with my family, cold enough weather to wear that sweater vest I bought over the summer, and discounted Halloween merchandise. I want a pair of those nylon and wire strap-on butterfly wings, in case I ever find someone that wants to be a Monarch henchman with me.
