And onto the rambling...

Anyway, I bought my pumpkins and my parents brought up my Halloween decorations (yes, I am slowly collecting my own stash of Halloween and Christmas decorations, especially now that I have my own little place). Now I have to re-arrange everything in my home to fit it all. Oh my figures take up so much space. I think that since I live in an in-law cottage, I probably won't get Trick-or-Treater's to my door. They'll probably go to my landlord's house, but somehow I doubt they'll realize I'm back here. I wonder if I could put a sign up saying that I have candy to give as well. Maybe I should find ways of decorating the front of my little cottage too. Not that anyone would really see it unless they came back here....

So other than school and work, which seriously takes up most of the time I have, I really have not been doing all that much. My house is so dusty and such a mess because I haven't been home to clean it all up and arrange things in their proper places. I want so much to draw again, or even just to sit down and have a moment to myself, but it seems like that's usually only late at night when I come home already tired from my long day. Though that doesn't mean there aren't things that are wonderful about my life. My friends at school are awesome, I have reached the 120 speed (out of 200/225) in speed building at school (while still being there for under a year thus far), and the people I work with at work I have fun around. My parents do come down to visit me, and soon my brother will be coming to see me as well. Which is such a wonderful thing because I hardly ever get to see him and I miss him so. Oh I used to have so much fun with my brother. He gets all the little jokes and references I make (particularly the quotes we know from movies and television).

I've also become a fan of Hetalia (which there's three of the characters along the top of my journal in their Halloween costumes: England, America, and France). That show/manga always makes me laugh. I remember when Hetalia first came out and everyone was nuts for it. Since I don't normally go too deep into the whole anime/manga scene (yes, I like it, but I'm very choosey about which series I like), I didn't really give it much of a thought. In fact, I forget how I stumbled upon Hetalia, and it hasn't really been that long since I've gotten into the series. Maybe it was a music video or something on youtube? Don't remember. But when I did stumble upon it, I realized just how funny and entertaining it was. I don't think I've laughed at an anime/manga like this in a while. Not since Strawberry Marshmallow and the last volume I got of that (#5) was back in 2008. I hear that they're going to release volumes 4 and 5 around Christmas for Hetalia (since Tokyopop went down, it was unsure as to whether another company would pick it up again and release more in English). I've purchased volumes 1-3 and I can't wait for the new ones to come out! How exciting!

Also, did anyone out there see the movie "The World's End"? If so don't spoil it for me! But I would like to know if you guys liked it. I've been wanting to see it so badly, but what I would prefer more is to see it with my brother instead of doing so alone. I hate to go to the movies alone especially, even though it probably isn't in theaters anymore. Not that I make it a habit of talking through a movie, but sometimes there's just those scenes where you have to turn to someone and say something or at least give them a look of surprise/shock/anger/happiness/what have you. If I went alone, who could I turn to? Some stranger. Heck no!

BioShock Infinite is coming out with a DLC called "Burial at Sea". Oooooh man! Booker and Elizabeth in Rapture back in the days where it was at the height of it's prime! Count me in! I'm ready for that! Speaking of being ready for something, hockey season starts full force this month! YES! Although coming home from work will probably guarantee that I miss most of the games (since a lot of the time I get out late from work), I'm still super excited to be able to turn on the TV and root for my team. That and be able to constantly check the scores. October is gonna be a party month with both Halloween and hockey coming up.

And coming up in December (aside from Christmas and my bro's birthday) is my one year anniversary living in my little cottage. Hard to believe it's only been a year. Sometimes it feels like I've lived here on my lonesome for a lot longer than that.

I'll stop my ramblings now. Hi y'all!
