OK, so normally I have no free time but feel like a
chicken with my head cut off, so I decided at the beginning of the month that I
needed to give myself a break; so far no break has happened so I am planning a
Halloween Party at a friends place this weekend. Looking for costumes sucks
when you aren't willing to wear the skimpy little outfits that they have for
women my age, which set me off looking for something that wasn't too skimpy,
and since its Dr. Who themed party I decided to be Amelia Pond, aka the Girl
who waited.
It kinda helps with my costume that I am in fact, a ginger, just like Karen
Gillian the actress who plays her, and our hair coloring is very similar.
Looking through my closet however led me to have to go shopping, my clothes are
rather high schoolish in style still, having only been adding so much to
my wardrobe. A few key pieces have been gotten rid of and a few added and now
its starting to look like a soon to be college graduates wardrobe. Back to the
costume; had to go to Goodwill (college students best friend when coming up
with a costume or getting super cheap but good suit type jackets for things). I
got a black suit jacket to add to my ensemble and my outfit is complete. I was
going to add the eye drive to my outfit, however, since I am vision challenged
and wear glasses I decided against it.
The outfit also works for this photo of her and I am unsure of what to use as
the tally marks so that it does not take me forever to scrub it off. This is
the second costume i have used that works around how pale I am. I had a photo
taken of me recently and it looks like I am reflecting sunlight in it :/
Onto life, lets see, awesome boyfriend got to stay for five days and we went to
a fencing thing up in new york. I hate long drives but it was worth it. His GPS
though hated us and took us the longest possible routes without a bathroom on
it. Got to stop and see my family who I missed very much, and especially see my
sister, her dog Blackie, died a few days before I went home. Blackie, who I
nicknamed bubbles to annoy her when we were kids, we had since he was six
months old, he passed away at around fourteen years, he had a long life, and
his last few years were spent with Roxy who kept him young with her puppy ways.
Blackie gets to spend time with Ladybug, my moms dog who passed away almost
three years ago, and Lucky, who when we got him became Blackies older, crabbier
brother. I miss Lucky, he passed away before I was eighteen. I'm just worried
that my baby, Angelbeans, will follow since she has been having health problems
again. I don't think I will take her passing very well, she's been my baby
since i was eleven and has been my protector against everything. She got mad at
my parents for trying to take her off my bed my first night home from the
hospital after I was diagnosed with cancer, that night she became my baby
forever.
Enough sad stuffs, I am applying to graduate school and have it narrowed to
three schools so that I can start in the spring semester (hopefully). Edinboro,
Duquesne, and Villanova, all three have nice programs, but my dream one is
Duquesne, I even have all my classes picked that I want to take there. Have to
get my transcripts released and the money together for the application fees but
then I get to play the waiting game and finish my thesis paper, then
GRADUATE!!!!!!!!!!! sorry bit excited for that. I liked my undergrad and all
but I am ready for the next step and to do more in depth research, after all I
want to be a professor someday (of which I have been told I am insane and
should reconsider but what fun would that hold, no challenge whatsoever).
So for now ta-ta and Happy Halloween everyone :)
