Taylor Swift: "Enchanted"

I now remember why I've been waiting till 2a to go to bed lately. When I'm that tired, I typically sleep through the night. Fall asleep around 11? Well...If I am stressed about anything at all (which is constantly these days - 1, 2 or 3 days until LSAT results!) - insomnia comes knocking right around 3a. Without fail. Here I am, at 6:36a and I am still awake. The good news is, I got a considerable amount done on one of my essays, watched an episode of Vampire Diaries (the only TV show I watch regularly - weird, I know), and continued working on my Halloween costume. Hand-sewing ANYTHING is terrible, I've decided. At least I know that I will be able to sew on a button someday if need-be (but I will never, ever be Susie-Homemaker).

Maybe I'll take another nap before the day begins. Or, maybe I'll listen to the Taylor Swift album all the way through for another time this morning as I ponder Halloween...

I'm looking forward to it. I think this Halloween is going to be an attack of Lady Gaga and the cast of Jersey Shore. So, depending on where you normally party, the landscape might not change much due to the holiday afterall.

What am I going to be? Well, for years I've gotten smart-ass remarks about the fact that I am a very tall and athletic-looking girl. Oh really? I thought my height was about average? Oh. Ok. Anyway, people (dudes) are always joking that I look like an Amazon Woman. I should thank them for the costume inspiration. This costume involves a lot of leaves and feathers. And ass-kicking. And a weapon or two. I'm into it. I tried to avoid looking like Xena - Warrior Princess, but only time will tell if I am successful. 

Who is this beezy? I have no idea, but I like her furry top.

I love Halloween. It's not as fantastic as Christmastime in my book, but it's up there. Everyone seems to have a good time with it and people take themselves less seriously. And people are always up for throwing parties! I dig it. I have to be up un-Godly early this weekend to run/coach a water polo tournament, but I can sleep when I'm dead, right?

Speaking of which, here's an awesome movie featuring the un-dead. THRILLER! Always gets me in the mood for Halloween. Miss you, MJ.
