I have been incredibly busy, and my mind has been preoccupied with a lot of thoughts, some of which are really not worth wasting brain space on. As a coworker put it, I have "burned bridges", although I do not object to building new bridges, but I don't have the time, tools, or manpower to do that right now. Still, in hopes of improving myself, I have found solace in several small, significant moments all in the last month. And it continues through what is now a month after the fabulous date of October 19th.
Well, I haven't done this in a while, but since I had several October 19th moments IN October, here I go again:
 |
| I just wanted to buy it because it's golden and the commercial for it was exciting. |
Buying GOLD?!... that's October 19th.
Building a costume with no-sew hem tape... that's October 19th.
And taking said costume to join friends for trick-or-treat at Disneyland... that's October 19th.
 |
| I jumped in on a group costume with my friends Margie and Steven. I'm Vanessa (aka Ursula when she takes human form) from The Little Mermaid. I have no idea who those two are supposed to be though. |
JACKPOT of candy, some of which is still sitting in my room... that's October 19th.
When it unexpectedly rains after several hot days in a row... that's October 19th.
Going on a super fun hetero-date with a wonderful (married) long-time girl friend... that's October 19th.
 |
| It started with Disneyland and ended with over four hours of karaoke. Rain and shaved snow were also involved. Basically, it was everything I could ask for in a date. |
Singing... and singing some more... and then recording... that's October 19th.
Making lots of pleasant memories catching up with co-workers... that's October 19th.
Being a part of an awe-inspiring gift for another wonderful long-time friend... that's October 19th.
 |
| I wanted to send this picture, but I liked the others I contributed better, so this was not a keeper. |
 |
| The AMAZING gift was put together by my friend Allan for our friend Tinasu, check it: http://tinamoosu.tumblr.com/ |
Intentionally waking up at 4:30 in the morning without feeling like a Grinch... that's October 19th.
Validated parking in an otherwise expensive parking lot... that's October 19th.
Meeting that guy from those two TV shows you really like... that's October 19th.
 |
| No, this is not photo-shopped. It was super fun and he is just as attractive in person, even without the skinny tie. |
Asian babies in costumes... that's October 19th.
Okay, ALL babies in costumes... that's October 19th.
Putting together another awesome pre-Halloween group costume with a few friends... that's October 19th.
 |
| I don't usually go for play-on-word costumes, but I actually really liked this one. Naturally, I wanted to be the drummer, and not a lot of people recognized me, so it was a win-win. |
Pumpkin flavored chocolate... that's October 19th.
Staying surprisingly immune (for now) through the oncoming cold and flu season... that's October 19th.
When you have just enough money to finally take a short but much-needed road trip... that's October 19th.
January 2nd......... that's October 19th! This next season couldn't come sooner.
