Halloween is coming!

I love Halloween so much! It’s probably my most favorite holiday.

This year I am being Sally from A Nightmare Before Christmas and I’m SO excited about it! I’m sure I’ve probably talked about it already, but I really am gung ho. I want to make a really high quality costume, because if the Doctor Who idea for Comic-Con falls through next year, I’ll still have a decent costume to wear that people will really like. I was going to just dye my hair red, but I decided to buy a cosplay wig instead because my hair isn’t long enough to really pull off a passable Sally. So I’m buying a wig and I have been reasearching how to wear a wig and keep it on your head when you’re doing things.

I’m really very excited! My birthday is this weekend and I was going to go fabric shopping if I had time, so hopefully that works out. The House is going to have a celebration on Friday night, as they always do, I am going to a Jason Mraz concert with Lisa on Satuday (I don’t even know why…I don’t listen to Jason Mraz, but I’ve never been to a proper concert, so I guess maybe that’s my reason).

I might be able to go fabric shopping on Sunday. I hope so, if the fabric stores are open. If not, maybe Monday after work.

Damn…I need to find a new line of work. The more I do this job the more I develope a fundamental dislike for people. (Forgive me, I’m at work right now…)

Anyway, I guess I feel like I’m finally settling back in to life after having moved. I’ve started jotting down story ideas again. It feels like I took a terribly long hiatus from that. I don’t know why. I feel like my entire schedule was just screwed up, but it really wasn’t, I just feel more cramped I guess. There’s not enough space to really spread out in my room now, and it gets dirty so quickly I feel like I need to vaccuum it every day and that dust accumulates overnight. It’s awful.

I wish there was someplace I could go where there are just no people. Someplace close I mean. I could drive into the desert if I wanted, at the risk of burning alive because it’s bloody hot right now. But it would also take like two hours to get any decent isolation.

One thing I don’t like about cities is being unable to drop off the radar for a while. There are always people. Everything and everyone is so connected, so when I feel the need to just get away from people, I can’t. It’s frustrating. The only place I can really go is my room, but it’s so small now.

Blahbiddyblah…

So my new phone is apparently getting to the house today! That would be good. I chatted with someone online about why it was taking so long, and they said it wasn’t scheduled for delivery until the middle of OCTOBER! Fwah! Anyway, suposedly it’s on a FedEx truck for delivery right now, and it would be awesome if it was there when I got home!

I have a week off at the end of October. I was hoping to get up north to see family and friends, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to do that now. My car busted it’s water pump and I’m going to be looking at new cars now. I figured, with the electrical also shot, might as well just get a new car. I can afford a little more of a car payment now, since I’m living back at home. I’ll be getting either a mini or a honda, depending on what my reasearch says about each. I really, really want a Mini. They are so much fun to drive! But we’ll see. I know that trie changes range in the 500 dollar range usually, which is a lot compared to what I would pay for my current car.

So that’s exciting!

It will be sad if I don’t get to see Colin for Halloween though. I was kind of looking forward to that. Oh well. So goes life.
