Punkintines

If you didn't know before now, well you probably weren't paying attention, because I have the most awesome aunt ever. Halloween has always been a favorite holiday to me. The whole time of Halloween and Thanksgiving is deemed as "Punkintines" within my family. It's my favorite time of year, filled with pumpkins and spices, cool air and crisp colored leaves, food, family, fun, and of course, Punkintines packages. Every year Lori sends us packages filled with wonderful Punkintines things! See?

We're having our annual AMS Halloween Costume Party on Halloween. I'm super excited about it, seeing as last year's was a blast. I hope it goes as well this time. We've still got some planning to do, but I'm thinking everything will come together well. I'll have more to say about it all afterwards, so keep reading. Thanks so much ^_^

So I'm thinking that pumpkin spice lattes are awesome. Days like this set me in a wonderful mood. Wonderful grey sky, misty rain, cool wind weather, long skirts with rainbow knee-highs, William Carlos Williams poetry in Literature, American Lit being the only class of the day, $1 lunches at the CSM, four big cups of unsweet tea, having my DE test moved back a week, and loosing all my umbrellas but dashing about campus anyways. Yes, these are a favorite kind of day for me.
I recently went to the Red River Revel and purchased a piece of art I've been eying for several years now. It's a huge pen-and-ink drawing of an endless library. The selves span up and out as far as the eye can see. It has always been a favorite of mine and I'm super glad I finally got it. It's now smartly hanging on the wall above my bed here in my dorm. I would love to have a room in my house someday filled with wonderful books. I've always wanted a reasonable home library. I love the idea of books covering the dark wooden walls with soft yellow lights and a few comfy chairs and woolly rugs. The smell of paper and wood polish and patchouli surrounding the room. It's just a thought I suppose, but it is a happy one I keep in my head. I'm still young, so it's something I can look forward to, whether I actually ever have one or not. But for now, I've got the seven story library here at school, and the fully stocked shelves of Books-A-Million. :)

I've been thinking of writing something. I've been ready to place words in this text box. To form coherent thoughts and tell whatever stories flirt about in my head. But the phrases I form on page lately only fall into three line stanzas, and I don't think I'm doing it justice, telling you such short bits of thought. So I'll place those somewhere else and wait to tell you stories when I'm not feeling the burdens of higher education weigh so heavily down upon me. For now, pale hints of autumn approach and tease the night air. I came across a few of the first leaves fallen to the ground, but I know they only try to trick me. Still I can't help but be hopeful Fall is on its way.
Last week we celebrated in Heather and Jeff's long awaited marriage. It was beautiful, and I don't feel I can do justice to telling the happiness and joy surrounding the whole event. Still, to my sister and my new brother, I wish to you the happiest of life and offer my delight in that you can now be together.

"She was a fork and knife kind of girl"

Yeah, that's what I've been told.

Things I like:
Candles
Cinnamon
Wet grass smell

Things I don't like:
Headaches
Fake flowers
Dead batteries

Yep, that's my university...

I come home to flooded bathrooms and cracked toilets that maintenance takes a ridiculous amount of haggling to get them to come fix.

Also, we block broken, hazardous elevators with bulletin board border.

Woot, ULM!

I should blog more
but it just ends up I monologue
and narrate my life
in my head.


It still works.
