quote of however-long-I-feel-like:

Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things - trees and grass and sun and moon and stars.

Suppose we have.

Then all I can say is that, in any case, the made - up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones.

Halloween. and. Preference.


Okay, so these are some of my fellow coworkers. The one on my left is Dan. And the wolf is Amber. I don't know who the hippie is. 
So basically after work, me, kelly, dan, rachel, meg, and davey hung out around town. We went to sonic, started a movie called 28 Weeks later (edited). It was definitely scary enough. 2 minutes into it, and i had enough. So we switched to Shaun of the Dead (also edited). Which was hilarious. I loved the references to Night of the living dead. Anyway, so after the movies, we went looking for a place to eat that wasn't full of scary looking college kids. We ended up at SconeCutter (every thing's better on a scone). And then we stayed out until 4 am. I was still sick... so that probably didn't help. And then Saturday, the international cinema was playing this horror film called el orfenato (The Orphanage). It was amazing. Like, my favorite Halloweeny movie now. 


So, on Monday I randomly found a pack of glow-in-the-dark stars at the bookstore. And I bought them. And a couple of packs of starbursts. And decided to ask Nick to preference. So during work on Wednesday, I snuck out of work during visiting hours, and into his room. And left this:

 Which says: 

starlight, star bright
first starburst i see tonight
wish i may, wish i might
be your date on preference night

And then I scattered the other starburst around his room randomly.











And of course put the stars everywhere as well.







Unfortunately, the stars only look cool when they're glowing.











And he responded today with this stuck in a piano bench:

 


The starbursts were inside the candy wrapper, and it was taped shut. I was so excited to get chocolate... What a let down. :)

 











And this is what the note said:

  






I feel like such a little zoobie. 

Anyway, we'll be going to a jumbo twister party on Saturday. Mostly because it's the only one that didn't require a car. I'm excited.

Day 1..ish.

So, my Mom actually helped me pack and clean out my room like crazy on Monday night. 


Looks like fun, huh? 

I ended up not waiting until the last 5 minutes to finish. Quite proud of myself. :) 


This is my whole life right there in that trunk. That's right, everything. 

Yeah, just ask my Dad about his skillz and how he hooked us up with a decent car. He'd love to tell you. 

So, this is just the first of 3 trips we would make to Target today. 


This is my room before I messed with it. 


My bathroom and sink. 
(Small, yes, but I don't have to share with a whole floor of girls)



And these are my sheets that don't match anything. :)


This is my own little convenient store. 

This is somewhat after... (if only you could see what it looks like now).



Seriously... if only... I've got 250 glow-in-the-dark stars ALL over my room... unfortunately, my camera just couldn't handle this level of AWESOME-ness... so this is what I got... :(


Neither of them really turned out... so the only thing I can do, is have you take my word for it... It's amazing.

Okay, I'm going to bed now... 'Night!
