Autumnal Feelz

November is...

Hot. I go to bed with the windows open and the ceiling fan on. It's still shorts and tshirts around here, people. Funny though---we like to pretend that a high of 85 is chilly, so you'll see lots of boots and beanies out too, but it's all for show.

A time to be creative. My original NaNo plans have been squished. But I'm heading in a few different writerly directions. Also, I've been editing stuffs. 

A birthday month. Lots of cake and celebration to be had. :P

A reading month. It's good to read, and it's good to finally find time to read. Especially while cocooning oneself in a cozy blanket, even if said cozy blanket is unnecessary.

A month for music. Sometimes Death Cab for Cutie sounds Autumnish to me. At any rate, their music makes for good homeworking tunes. Try not to judge.

A month for exploration and experimentation. For example, did you know that it's okay to ditch pajamas and sleep in your everyday clothes? I've proven it to be scientific law. Also, cranberries and peanut butter go nicely together.

A time to be thankful. Especially for people. This year has been a good year for cultivating new friendships.

A time to appreciate the alarm clock. Dark mornings and early evenings make it hard to be punctual. Really bro. It's hard.

A month of movies. adfsjldfakjfd!!! Unfortunately, due to ticket prices, it looks like I'll be auctioning off all worldly belongings in order to make it into the theatre. Totally worth it though, am I right? ;D

A time of preparation
. Not only for the holidays and the new year, but for faraway things too. "I live in the now, once lived in the past, but think now in the future."

Still am wowed by how hot it is where you are, and the fact that snow is completely covering the ground here, and I just put up the christmas garland.

@ Lauricia:

Mmm...snow sounds fun!! Toss me some snowballs, will yaz? :D

In this exact moment, it's perfect outdoorsy temperature...not too warm, not too cool. I wish it would stay like this for a good long while. *dreamy look* But nah. It won't. :P

Heheh, November isn't my birthday month, but it is for a large handful of my friends, family, and other relations, so I figured it was worth mentioning. ;) I shall pass your sweet birthday wishes on to them. :D

Love and hot chocolate,

This post made me feel all happy and snuggly about fall. So I climbed under a blanket and wished for a cup of tea, but didn't make it because I was under my blanket.

Your idea of sleeping in clothes, BRILLIANT! I also like your thoughts on clothes being as comfy as PJ's. It would make life so much better.
