October Recap

 Happy November, everybody! Most months feel like they go really fast, but October actually felt kind of slow. Not that I minded, because it was a nice break. Thanksgiving is coming up soon, so I'm excited for that. Although, all of my other playlists were playing songs I didn't like this morning, which means I listened to my Christmas playlist. I'm not kidding. Geez, even Spotify's trying to rush Thanksgiving season. Anyway, let's get on with the recap.
Books Read in October


I was kind of busy, so I didn't read as much as I would have liked to [plus, some days I just didn't feel like reading], but that's okay. I really enjoyed all of these. Three of them I'd never read before, and then I started my Harry Potter reread, and now I'm about a quarter through The Prisoner of Azkaban. I forgot how good these books are.
Movies/TV Shows Watched in October






So, I sort of rewatched this show, but not in any particular order, so I just skipped around through various seasons and watched my favorite episodes.
Season One and Two

Season One and the first episode of Season Two
This month was so good for watching movies/shows, too. I rewatched some amazing movies and shows, and discovered a couple of new favorites. My sister's been trying to get me into Riverdale for months. I was hooked from the first episode.
Music of October
I pretty much listened to showtunes the entire month. My favorite songs changed a lot, so I'll just give you the musicals I listened to.






Events of October
-Well, Halloween, of course. You guys will get to see my costume in just a few weeks. I'll give you a hint: I'm a character from one of the movies or shows I watched this month. I actually celebrated Halloween, which is nice. My aunt and grandpa live next door to us, and we had some friends staying with us, so we had our own Halloween party. We had snack food for dinner, had lots of candy, watched Hocus Pocus, and danced to Halloween songs. Or, to be more specific, Amber, Marie, and I danced to Halloween songs, and sung along to the ones we knew. It was very fun.
-Lots of great movies/books/shows/music. I know I mentioned this already, but I thought it needed to be mentioned again.
-My birthday
My birthday's in October, and it was a very fun, calm day. I feel so old now.
-The great room redecorating of October 2020. I decided that I actually want my room to look like an actual, semi-aesthetic room instead of a cave, which is what it normally looks like. Hopefully I can get it finished today. I really like how it looks so far.
-Singing stuff. Same as last month.
-Archery
Okay, so this one hasn't really happened, but I got an archery set for my birthday, and we just got everything set up, so I can actually use it.  I'm so excited.
How was your October? Did you do anything especially fun or interesting? How was your Halloween?

    Can't wait to see your costume. Looks like you had a full month, hope you had a good birthday!
    Oh Riverdale, I have such a love/hate relationship with it.
    I actually bought Jughead's S shirt so I guess I'm somewhat trash for it, but I stopped watching in season 2, might pick it up again at some point.

    I know. I'm so excited!
    Aw, thanks. It was a good one.
    I like it so far, but I've heard that it gets really weird, so I'm not sure what I'll think once I reach the later seasons.
    Thanks so much for your comment.

    Ooh, I'm looking forward to seeing your costume! I'm glad you got to celebrate Halloween.
    Happy birthday! And be sure to let us know how the archery is going. :)
    Hamilton and Dear Evan Hansen! I love both musicals! I haven't actually heard many of the other albums you listed...so maybe I'll have to look into them (especially Newsies, since my sister loves that one).
    Have a good November!

    I knowwwww. I can hardly wait!
    Thanks. I will. Maybe I'll make a post on it.
    YESS. THEY'RE BOTH SO GOOD.
    Ooh, yes, they're all good musicals. Let me know what you think of them.

At The Beach Well, if I were at the beach, I'd probably want to wear a swimsuit, wouldn't I?  I'm not really sure what specific type of swimsuit I'd like, though. Probably just something similar to what I have.  This one is just a picture of a model, but I like the style. I would wear something ...

In Which I Talk About My WIP

Image
 Greetings, friends! So, during my semi-hiatus, I did get to do a little more writing than usual, so I thought now would be a good time to talk about my WIP. So, here we are. I stole   borrowed this tag from Christine's blog. Technically, you're supposed to do it doing NaNo, but I'm doing it now.  What first sparked the idea for this novel? I'm not....totally sure. I know the idea first came to me in November 2020. It came from me wanting to write a book with magical powers, and I've always liked elemental magic, so that's sort of how it got started. Originally, I'd imagined it as a TV show, actually, and it was just a fun idea to play around with in my head, but then I ended up tweaking it a little, and it's now it's a whole novel. Share a blurb [or just an overall summary if you'd prefer]? I think I'll probably just give a summery, honestly, because that's easier. It's summertime. For most high schoolers. that means swimming, a nice...

If I Was A Fictional Character [Tag]

Image
 Hello there! Random Buffy GIF just because.   Sam  did this tag on her blog, and I asked her if I could do it, and she said yes.  This looks like it will be a lot of fun. *rubs hands together gleefully* Share a snippet that includes a description of their appearance: She's flopped out on her bed, furiously typing up a blog post on her laptop. She's tall, and athletic looking with very long legs. She's dressed casually in ripped jeans [she didn't buy them ripped. They just happened to rip while she was wearing them, and they're her most comfortable pair, so she keeps wearing them], a mint green hoodie, and socks with llamas on them. Her hair is medium-length, wavy and light brown with blonde streaks/highlights. Basically my hair is like hers, only longer. Her favorite feature is her eyes. They're dark brown, and usually hidden behind glasses.  She has a small and wide nose, thin eyebrows, and a huge grin.  She's not sure if she's pretty or not, but she l...
