Grey Day, Golden Days

Waking up on a stormy day is different from the others. You know something is different from the way a more whitish grey light presses in through the window blinds. I spent a good time before class staring out the library windows at the endlessly grey skies.
My fall break was very eventful and full. I didn't even get to see some of the people I was looking forward to seeing though (cough-Amanda, Sarah-cough). What it did consist of though was Heather, my Daddy, and me going to the Texas Renaissance Festival. It was overwhelmingly awesome and huge. Some people were dressed in the most ridiculous looking costumes ever. I find it really hard to describe everything there, but we had a lot of fun going about all the shops and listening to all the musicians. Heather even bought me some four leaf clover earrings. I'll post the pictures of everything later in Facebook if you want to see them.
Sunday morning before I went home Troy, Anthony, and I went down to the riverfront and played around the fountains and took pictures and tried to race leaf boats down the waterfall thing but failed. Then we went and ate cheeseburgers and had milkshakes from Cheeburger Cheeburger. We read books on the floor of Barnes & Noble, all cozy in a corner, and it was perfectly and entirely pleasant. Then we went to the costume store and Troy bought a couple skeleton car hanging things. Being together again with them made me very happy, but I had to go then. Back to the house where Daddy and I fixed the problems with my car. Well, most of the problems. Back here to Monroe, which, no, it isn't home, but I live here now for the most part. And the people are good, and the food is good, most of the time, and my roommate makes me laugh. And I am comfortable here. No, this isn't a bad place at all. And these stormy grey days make it even better here. The light is softer, the rain feels better, and the wind finds a way to turn my umbrella inside out every five feet.
The AMS is having a Halloween costume party next Friday. I'm going to be........a fairy! :-] It's still so much fun to dress up.
