Monthly Endings [ Oct. 2015 ] Scary Movies & Halloween Love

[ It's Rin Here ]

g o o d b y e

First of all, the only reason I liked you was because you had this shit awesome holiday called Halloween. I seriously don't know if there is another reason to like you... Okay, sure, maybe for the candy corn and all the cute and beautiful tiny pumpkins that are everywhere!

Not really looking forward to November. Why do you ask? I have a violin recital in November *cries*. I absolutely hate recitals. It is mainly the fact that a lot of people are staring at me all at once and looking for every single mistake that I make, but also, because there are so many other students who are way better than me. It just freaks me the hell out. To make things worse, I also happen to have a Taekwondo competition. UGH! Kill me now!

But, since we have Thanksgiving break in November I have time to draft a billion posts (yay)! And I actually have time to read (double yay)!

Life in 230 Words | Week Five ♫

watched?

Three fabulous movies (if you count the documentary that I had to watch for school). The Martian (hilarious and overall an awesome movie), The Babadook (this is how we celebrate Halloween, we get to gather, find a scary movie, and scare the heck out of each other, but this movie wasn't all that scary at all), and He Named Me Malala. It was actually pretty good.

any events?

I never posted it on here, but on October 9, 2015, Kaitlin and I (yes, correct grammar) went to a Leigh Bardugo signing for her new book Six of Crows in San Francisco! It was overall fun and enjoyable + I met Helen (who is awesome) and said hi to Genissa.

Any pics? A few. Like a few few. Meaning one.

instagram updates?

By this point, I realize without hesitation that I am bad at taking photos. Bad at taking photos in general and bad at taking bookish photos. New goal for the year. Try not to make you photos look like they have been put through 3 layers of editing and a gazillion minutes to position (even if it was put through 3 layers of editing and took a gazillion minutes to position). *Cringes at all the filtering on the left*
