Besides the beautiful colors, the crisp days, and the halloween parties, another reason to love October is because the month gives me an excuse to eat something like this (not like I would need much of an excuse anyway):
So what is this, you ask? This is a pumpkin Pie Milkshake, compliments of OurBestBites.com. The recipe goes as follows
Pumpkin Pie Milkshake
Recipe by Our Best Bites1/3 C pumpkin, canned or homemade
1/4 – 1/2 C milk
1/4 t vanilla
1/2 t cinnamon
1/16 t cloves (just use a 1/8 t measure and fill it half way, or do a pinch)
1/16 t nutmeg
2 T brown sugar
2 C vanilla ice cream
a few graham crackersPop it all in a blender. Start with 1/4 C milk and then slowly add more if needed to make the blender process it all. I used somewhere between 1/4-1/2 C.
And let me just say, that I love pumpkins, I love everything about them, and I am incredibly excited to try this. Infact, I think I’ll email it to my aunt now. :) Bon appetit!
In other news, there has been a ton happening, but I’ll save that for another post.
Until then, xo

I’m making a play to,
Come back to life.
I’ll do it in plain view,
Right out in the light.

Yet another blog from Mr Power’s class, damn the Tale of Two Cities.
I have a plan. For the past six months or so I have had a pretty rough time. Anxiety through the roof, conflict around every corner, solemnity every day. I’m through with it all. I want to have a completely enjoyable summer, not exactly carefree, but atleast stress free. These are my summer objectives:
1. Save my money!
I’ve spent so much money without even realizing it that
it’s gotten ridiculous, four hundred gone in the last two
months or so? And that’s just what was in my account,
let alone what I made from work! So I’m definitely
going to stop with that spending.
2. Get in shape for the upcoming field hockey season
I went running with Nina the other day, we did a mile
and I’m still sore three days later -_- Not acceptable,
Chels.
– I didn’t finish this post but I thought I’d publish it anyway, showing the beginning of my plans haha
So I’m at jonnys dance class right now, the one he’s teaching, that is. It’s a bit awkward consdering I’m sitting in an office with a woman who threatened to throw me out of her dance show last year. Paula, the owner, she’s being nice to me right now, but I know that she remembers me from that occurrence at the last performance.
I really wish I had taken dance, I admire it so much. I would have a blast too, I mean I do when Im dancing by myself in my room ;) I decided I’m going to take dance classes when my knee gets better and become a back up dancer haha. I fully expect to make a complete fool of myself considering I’ve never taken a class in my life, but whatever haha. You live once right? :P
Anyway, I’m gonna wrap it up here. I believe Jonny and I are going to the movies later and possibly out to eat again. Well, we just went out last night so idk about the dinner but well figure something out. Toodles :)

*This one’s for the girls ;)
Okay, I was listening to Mr. Carter by Lil Wayne this morning while I was getting ready and there was this familiar quote in it that caused me to have a slight epiphany. The verse goes :
“Man I got summer hatin’ on me cuz im hotter than the sun
got spring hatin’ on me cause I ain’t never sprung
winter hatin’ on me cause I’m colder than yall
and I will never I will never I will NEVER FALL
I’m being hated by the season
so fuck y’all who hatin’ for no reason”
I’ve seen the quote a couple places, on different people’s Myspace’s and what not, and it really got me thinking. (Note: I am not meaning to target this towards any person, nor am I trying to offend anyone.) There’s all this talk these days about “haters” and how people need to “stop hatin’” Like, maybe they’re not ‘hatin for no reason’. Maybe you’re just really a b*tch. Has anyone ever considered that? There’s all these people walking around and trying to act all ‘hard’ and whatever, with this “I don’t care about anything or anyone, or whatever people have to say about me.” attitude. … Well maybe that’s why you’re unliked. Maybe, people don’t like that you only care about yourself. If we’re all created equally here, why do you feel the need to walk around like you’re better than everyone else? What I don’t understand is this new concept or idea of popularity. Like, how some people would prefer to be envied and hated and KNOWN by everyone rather than to be genuinely liked by a lot of people. I don’t know about anyone else, but when I think of happiness, love and friendship come into mind, not greed and hate and fakeness. Is this fad a product of all our insecurities? Cause honestly, I don’t understand it.
Anyway, the last twenty four hours of 2008 are counting down and I’m pumped! I still need to work on my New Years resolutions though. Welll, I’m sure I’ll figure it out. Bye!
So, originally I decided to stay home tonight because I have a ton of homework to do and I was like hey, I’ve been out of school for about a century now, I can spare a night of socializing and stay in to catch up.
Out of my ten essays, I got one finished. I started another one but I was really drained so I knew that if I took a break I would end up writing better when I got back to it.
I took my break, and I’m actually still taking my break, and oh my goood I am bored. I’ve tried various activities, and I’m still ready to call it quits and just go to bed. I sort of planned earlier to pull a semi allnighter and get a ton of work done but so far it hasn’t really worked out. I know that I should get back to my one out of a billion papers but I don’t want to yet :( haha. I may even start playing with makeup, I’m honestly that bored. — And it’s not that I don’t love playing with makeup, I just hate putting it on when I know that I’m not doing anything, and I’m seriously doing nothing. I’ve outplayed Tap Tap Revenge on my iPhone, I’ve put away my laundry/gone through my summer clothes & clothes I’ve outgrown, I officially hate Myspace, there’s no one to talk to on Facebook, and it just shows how much I suck by having to refer to those things as potential ways of keeping me occupied.
I put a face mask on earlier and I still have yet to wash it off, so I’ll make myself do that at some point. I was thinking about working out, but then I remembered I’m limited by my stupid, weak, surgery leg. -_- I’ve realized I’ve been complaining throughout this entire post, and hey. It is the only thing that’s keeping me from being so bored that I slam my head into a wall to give me some excitement.
I’m determined to get some more work done tonight but I’m starting to yawn. I think maybe I’ll read some of my book, cause that always helps me when I write afterwards, and if I accomplish the finishing of atleast the essay that I began earlier, I’ll go to bed.
In other news, I’ve finally decided how I’d like to get my hair done, and I finally have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow, for my now fading cold that I’ve been suffering from for the past lightyear.
But I’m actually gonna go now. Toodloo.
watching people just kill themselves. Just letting their lives waste away, being consumed by misery. I’m really sick of it.
So I was having a minor break down in the car with Jonny tonight while he was driving me home, and I came up with this awesome simile for my wonderfully fulfilling home life<3 Trying to make a point here is like screaming underwater. You can scream as loudly as you’d like, but no one is going to hear you. You’re not even going to make a ripple on the surface. And eventually, water just fills your lungs and you drown. On a lighter note, I have not yet drown. I absolutely refuse to. It just gets rough these days. I have so much work to do this weekend, like I cut all plans so I can take it easy and just workworkwork. :/ AKA, I will not be leaving this room for the next two days most likely. But I’m gonna finish up here. I’m really exhausted after tonight. I spent like an hour and a half standing around Old Navy. Night.

I was listening to Morning Sun by Eric Harringer and John Paul Lacey, and it sounds like Spring and being in love.
I’m not really sure if something can sound like that, but to me it does. I know I sound crazy, but I never really made much sense anyway. That was just my first impression of the song.
