OCTOBER!!
I seriously think that this is my favorite month of the year. I love Halloween. It's defiantly my favorite holiday. I love the carefree spirit, all the lore, not to mention dressing up as whomever you'd like to portray for a night. It’s the only day of the year that I feel its ok to pretend to be someone else…well, unless you’re in theatre. (Which I miss terribly.)
I have no idea what I'm going to dress up as this year. Part of me wants to go out and buy a generic costume. I've really never done that before. It would be hard for me to choose, because I would be thinking how I could make it more original the entire time. Another part of me really wants to be creative and make it myself. I’ve done some pretty interesting things myself, usually just by putting clothes that I already had together. When my siblings and I were little we never bought costumes, my grandma always made them, or I’d steal Aunt Becky’s old dance costumes. I probably will end up making it. I love using my crafty side, plus it’s rewarding to know that no one else has a costume quite like yours.
Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICCI! She’ll be the first one of my group (well, excluding Rebe and Schwab... but that's different) to hit the 21-year marker. Katie won’t follow her until December. The rest of us are all youngin’s. I know that she's not really excited about it like most people would be, but still, your birthday is your birthday and you only get one a year.
