So it's Autumn again. It's currently October, and I can't believe its actually here. October is a perfect month, mostly because the weather and leaves start to change. It's time to grab your coat and scarf and horror movies! It's the perfect time to crack out a pile of DVDs, ready to get snugged on the sofa with. Plus I'm currently wearing a giant thick cardigan and eating warm chocolate pudding while I type this.
My mind is currently in a good place. It's been working hard recently. I finally get up in the morning ready for the day ahead. I look forward to going to work in the morning, I look forward to the challenges ahead. I have been lucky enough to get a new job role at work and it's hard work, but I'm so ready for it. getting to travel around and meet lots of new people really has been rewarding. I needed that.
I really need to start Christmas shopping. It's coming, we all know it! I really want to get most of it done because in December I always seem to run out of time. When it's December I seem to get booked up with plans and work lots of over time, so time to go out and shop falls to the back of the list of things to do. I have two presents already, but I really need to get my head in the game.
In other news;
- I am currently on episode 6 of Gilmore Girls. I have never watched this show until 2 days ago, needless to say I'm enjoying having Netflix.
- I'm pretty bummed about the recent person to leave Ru Paul's DragRace Allstars 2 this week. Mega sad face.
- I keep forgetting that Rogue One is coming! I had the worst Force Friday with countless toy shops saying they had no clue what I was talking about, even though they did it last year. After lots of searching and an amazing boyfriend and fab gal pal, I managed to get what I wanted. However the pops are another story. Hopefully soon.
- I'm on holiday after this next week of working. Lots planned including a trip to see a new gal pal, and lots of creative meetings, exhibition set up, and more!
- Also I feel like I have gone pumpkin mad. I need all the drinks, pie and decorations I can find. ALSO I need candy corn. I'm craving it.
Enjoy Fall/Autumn! Its the best!
Ok, i don't really know how to start this post...other than, 
in other news, we had our giant skype session last night, or this morning for me, for the SEATTLE DREAM OF DREAMS AND WONDER...as Maggie as called it. it was insane. i can't believe its actually gonna happen this year. mega-ultra excited, and talking to everyone last night just made me even more excited if that possible. the only problem now is, i feel like we should be having another chat today. haha...oh, as i am typing this, i just looked out the window, and the sky is beautiful. just thought you might like to know.
kinda fell in love with whoever put Matt Smith in this pose in the cabinet in forbidden planet. I couldn't stop laughing.
this also made me smile while walking around drinking my eggnog latte wrapped up in my giant scarf.
planning adventures with Lina recently has been fun...plus booking where we are going to stay is Paris is making me very excited. ALSO...its the 1st of December as i write this!! going to get the Christmas songs out and finish making my blogger Christmas cards! :D 
so it was my lovely friend Laura's birthday weekend. i went all the way to Devon on the train, from Kent, to London, through London to Devon. the train journey wasn't perfect. i had to go after work, so it was rather busy. at on the floor for most of the journey. apart from when i was standing for a bit, but i had this lovely cute guy to talk to. he was nice. our relationship lasted 50mins. so after the insane journey, i finally got to Laura's lovely new flat. Laura made me and Claire dinner, and it was fab...it just felt like old times. like normal. 
so Saturday we went to a vintage fair, drank Starbucks, went for a drive to the seaside, had the most amazing soup and cream teas in a cute little restaurant--in which we drew pictures with pencils and left them there, walked by the sea, looked in cute shops, and then drove back to Laura's to then go out in the evening with her friends. we went to some awesome places, one bar i had mulled cider, which by the way was wonderful especially when you are sitting in the outside of the bar in the freezing cold.
Sunday was sad. its the only part that i hate about trips, the waiting to leave, saying goodbye, getting on the train by yourself. 
journey home was better. although there seemed to be a lot of really rude people on the train. it was really foggy when we were pulling into London. it kinda felt like dementors were going to appear at the windows of the train. once i got to London, i grabbed a red cup, and ran to catch my train home. once i got home i was welcomed by my parents, which was really lovely. long chats about what everyone had been up to over the weekend were had, dad telling my about the children in need doctor who special/Xmas special trailer, and many many many cups of tea.
love you all.
so last night i hung out with some friends. there was this beer festival thingy going on. i really don't like beer, so was happy to find out that i could drink cider. anyway, it was a random fun night, with crazy people, weird music, even weirder dancing..but it was good. met some new people. you know when you meet new people, but you feel like you have known them forever? that's what last night felt like. but then again, i guess when you end up spending 8 hours together you can end up feeling like you know them.
the house can be a very creepy place when its dark and quiet. i think i have watched far too many scary movies...and watching them before bed is always a really bad idea. now i have to try and sleep...great. i don't really need sleep...do i?
change is good. i am going to get a new job role at work, which should take off some of the pressure i have been feeling recently...i hope its a good thing. i don't see why it wouldnt be...i just feel a little bit of a failure. 
anyway, bah, enough about work, i got my pottermore account the other day! so yay! so super happy about that. 
today i went to a cute little fete near where i live with my parents, grandparents and my friend 
i am now off to hang out in my room...write letters to friends and to watch Arthur.
so the weather has been horrible today...rain, rain, and more stupid rain. i had the best lie-in in ages!!! i feel so refreshed now! nipped out for a bit today and got a new waterproof jacket for glasto, new stationary and other bits and pieces. this time next week i will be in the middle of a giant field, super cold, wet, covered in mud, listening to music with my best friends. 
today i also spent time putting together packages for far away friends. :) mail-making is so much fun. and drawing...i have not had the time to just sit down and draw. its a wonderful feeling just having time to myself to do what i want. today i have also been watching Pirates of the Caribbean in my room while listening to the rain...which was awesome.
