One year ago today

Not planning on doing shit for Halloween this year, as it fell on a Sunday, and I have class tomorrow.  I couldn't remember what I did last year, so I checked my journal. 

Saturday October 31, 2009

                                                                                                                                                     

Halloween.  Didn’t carve a pumpkin this year, though we put a bunch of pumpkins and squashes from our garden on the porch.  Kevin did a good job decorating for it.  Lights and even the spent cornstalks from the garden. 

                                                                                                                                                     

Didn’t go out.  Stayed in and made dinner.  Kevin roasted a ham.  Made caprese salad.  Beet salad.  Shrimp cocktail.  Sautéed brussel sprouts.  Pumpkin ice cream for dessert.  I put on my old bunny costume because someone had to dress up.  Mitch invited other people over, but it was too last minute.  Only Matt came.

                                                                                                                                                     

We played bridge.  Kevin kicked ass tonight.  Then we watched Treehouse of Horrors VII.  Classic.  Then we played Spite and Malice which was boring as fuck.  It’s Kevin’s favorite game, but I hated it. 

                                                                                                                                                     

I was kinda sad that no one called me to invite me out.  Halloween on a Saturday and I stayed in.  

History repeating itself.  Except this time I'm doing calculus problems instead of playing games.  


It was weird to check my journal since I haven't written in it in a long time.  Ever since I started taking all science classes, I haven't written much of anything, except lab reports.  The only non-science class I've taken in the last year or so is the history class in which I'm now enrolled.  But I've been thinking about writing a lot in recent days.  Starting at midnight tonight is November which means it's National Novel Writing Month.  Participation this year is doubtful, but...
