yes. seasons.

i have come to the conclusion that I am going to autumn the shit out of this fall.

after last year's weather pretty much ruining it for everyone (freak hurricane wrecking the trees, then freak snowstorm just plain wrecking halloween) fall didn't really feel like fall. 
ideas:

• drinking lots of pumpkin chai
• apple picking (not a difficult thing to do when your brother works in an orchard) in september
• camping trip already planned for the last weekend in september - seeing purdy trees n such. maple syrup candies. apple cider. etc. (v excited about this)
• PUMPKIN pickin' in october
• getting a big fat sweater (maybe with a cat on it)
• going for walks in the woods 2x a week (i have been doing this since march - it's amazing to go to the same place every week for several months and watch it change)
• scarf-wearing will commence
• i will probably try to paint my nails with little red maple leaves and fail miserably
• halloween clothes on/the week of halloween
• oh yeah, furfright is happening, gotta dress up for that too :P
• somehow, somewhere, leaves. piles. jumping. yes
• it is possible during thanksgiving i will revert to a five year old and make turkeys out of hand-tracings
• it is also possible i will attempt to make a vegetarian turkey thing for myself to bring to all 3 of my family thanksgiving stops. homemade chickpea seitan.. thing. with mushroom gravy.

and then it will be winter.
going to work every day doing the same ol' thing is getting kinda monotonous, and my life seems like it's kind of just running all together. all my days feel as if someone's watching me on a nonstop netflix marathon. i think i might start writing on a regular basis again. maybe do one of those 'one a day' comics or drawings or something, so each day I come away with something that happened.
