Heyo! My mom does this thing where every day of November, she posts about something she's grateful for. I decided I was going to try that. Seems like a cool tradition or something. So here's November first.

So guess what? This is my 50TH POST! YAY! Also, and November 28th I'll be celebrating the 1 year anniversery of this blog! Yay! I'm very grateful for this blog. And all my friends blogs. Blogging is so fun!

So yeah, some of these grateful things will be wierd, some will be random, and some will be very deep and thoughtful. I'll probably do several tributes. Stay tuned!

Yep, the evil spirits are out again. I've been feeling evil lately... which is wierd.... for me...

Anyways, first of all is Spanish Halloween. NO ONE SENT ME ANY PICTURES! Until the last night, that is, when I'm scrambling and begging people for them on Chat. I guess I should thank Rachel and Jeremiah for giving me them then. :) Thanks, guys! (P.S. I got a B on that project.)

Anyways... Today was the day we wore our costumes to school. Yay!

There's me. God of Festivals.

Sara - Zombie Princess

Matt - This isn't a costume. He's actually a ninja with a black belt. No, this isn't a joke. I'm dead serious.

This was one of the most popular costumes in the school. I mean, look at it. Waldo? That's just freaking genius. Cool costume, Josh!

Bekah as the Cat in the Hat.

SOO.... I wrote a halloween story for English, and I'll post it on my Gallery when I get it back and type it up.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY! Don't let the spirits of the dead add you to their ranks...

I made up a bunch of fake diagnoses for myself. Yep. I have ADHD, Aesthetic OCD, (Meaning that anything that isn't Aesthitic bugs me.) And Pseudophobia (Meaning I'm afraid of things that are illogical to be afraid of- like every single time I knock on a door, I'm afraid it's the wrong house. Or every single time I dial a number, I'm afraid it's the wrong number. Doesn't matter if I've done it a thousand times.)

Hey, all! Been doing a TON of homework lately. English Essays. Science Essays. Geography Essays. You know what I've learned about essays? I stink at them. I can write a decent song in five minutes, but I cannot write an essay for the life of me. Introductions are one of the biggest parts. I just don't know how to start the essay.

Anyways... Last Saturday, I went to the Region Dance again. I took Kat with me. I invited Aerin too, but she couldn't come because she was with her grandma. Anyways, I also met her friend Natalie, who is in her Region but came to our dance. It was at my stake center this time, so I knew a lot of the chaperones. I have a few funny stories from that night.

Let's see... So me, Evan, Kat, and Natalie were talking, and the dance right then was a swing dance, and we were talking about how me and Evan sorta knew the West Coast Swing, but nobody else knew. Then President Hansen comes up to Evan and says "Do you know how to swing dance?" And Evan said "Sorta."
"Then you can dance with this fine young lady right here."
"Wha- I don't really know the dance they're doing."
"That's okay, she can teach you."
So he learned to swing dance while the three of us watched him and kept talking.
Later on, we're in the same four, and the DJ stops the music and says "Okay, we've had a girl's choice dance, we've had a guys' choice dance, now it's time for a Chaperone Choice Dance! Get ready to be paired up!"
Evan instantly exclaimed "Refreshment's Table!" and bolted.
So I laughed at him, but then I looked up, and there is Brother Astil looking right at me.
Uh-oh.
I figure, there's no point to run, I'm going to get paired, might as well be next to someone I know.
So he comes over and pairs me with Natalie.
Halfway through the dance we're talking, and President Hansen shuffles by us, dragging Kat by the arm.
We laughed.
Turns out, though, that she got paired with a friend of mine from school that she didn't know, Jacob Virgin.

After the dance, I walk through the crowd and run into Brother Astil.
"So, how was the dance?"
"Good."
"You met someone new?"
"No, I actually already knew her. I probably would have asked her to dance eventually anyways."
"What! So all I did was speed up the process?"
He he... got ya there.

Saturday I went to a party at Kat's house. It was awesome seeing her and Aerin and Steph again! They're all awesome. (Quin too, but I see him every day.) I had a ton of fun! I have the best friends.

Time for another tribute! Here's to Kat!

Thanks for being such a nice friend! Thanks for your smile. You always have a way of making me smile. You're the best!
Love you all! May your sword be sharp and happiness follow you!

Okay, so I have a project I need to do for Spanish class, and for it I need pictures of people in their Halloween Costumes! I would be very appreciative if you guys would dress up and send me pictures. I'll be putting them in a slide show and talking about each of the pictures as if it's a fashion show... no, it's not original. That's the assignment. Funny, huh? Anyways, Please and Thank you!

Here's a funny conversation I had with Jeremiah and Garrett the other day...

Jeremiah: So how is everyone doing?
Garrett: okey dokey, you?
Jeremiah: good
Garrett: that's good
Jeremiah: Yep.
Jarom?
me: Yes, my liege?
Jeremiah: liege?
me: Is that spelled wrong, my lord?
Jeremiah: lord?
Garrett: I do not believe so
Jeremiah: So now I'm some sort of awesome person?
Garrett: Your master requires your answer to how you art.
me: I am quite well. I am moved that you shouldest care.
Garrett: My master will not lower himself by talking to you, therefore, I will be his mouth
Jeremiah: who's he?
Garrett: You master welcomes you, and asks, are the people feeding you right
Jeremiah: wtm?
me: They are feeding me well enough, sir. It woud be appreciated if they would give me a slice of their pig or a drop of their grape juice once in a while.
Jeremiah: You guys are completely confusing me.
We are in the 21st century, not the 15th!
Garrett: Your master will send a serving man soon, and discuss this matter. Your master wishes to know what your position is in this keep
Jeremiah: AAAAH!
What is going on?
me: I am over the men who gaurd the easternmost wall.
Jeremiah: This is some sort of time warp occurence! With alternate universes!
Garrett: Then you should get more of the food stuff. This is a puzzling matter. Your master wishes to know if you need anything
me: I get little food because the commander of the keep often forgets there is an east wall.
He's actually a rather forgetful man, sir.
He forgets to pay me, but I darest not complain.
Jeremiah: What is going on?
Garrett: I believe a flogging is in order. yes yes, a flogging is in order, and we shall have you elevated to his position. You seem a man of intelligence, so you will do well there
Jeremiah: NO! NO! NO!! STOP! 2009! IT"S 2009! Not 1498!
me: Oh, Thank you, My Lord!You are the most gracious master a man could ask for!I am forever in your service!
Jeremiah: 2009!
Garrett: You master aknowledges your thanks, and ask, how sharp is your sword
Jeremiah: 2. 0. 0. 9. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
me: My sword is sharp and strong, and it is ready to serve my liege at a moment's notice!
Garrett: Good, the spies have reported that the enemy is in motion, get your men ready, and torches brighter, and the men more alert
Jeremiah: hi
me: Oh, yes, your eminence! At once!
Jeremiah: Stop please
aah
Garrett: Good, and when your through with that, come back and guard his royal
me: I will gather together the bravest of the men, and we will form a gaurd that will be the envy of the land! Garrett: Good
me: May Health and fortune guide his majesty! I will return!
Jeremiah: bye
Garrett: We're done now
Jeremiah: ok
me: His Majesty Spoke to me!
Jeremiah: what was up with that?
me: So what's up?
WHAT'S UP WITH YOU??
Jeremiah: All I have to say. WHAT IN THE WORLD!
me: I dunno. What?
