Yes, I now will write my Halloween story... it was so exciting...
First, I went to school. And then I went to the academic advising center (which actually came with really good news that I'll post about VERY soon on my blog, so stay tuned over there). And then I came home and ate leftover homemade pizza. And then I did a little homework. And then we had some trick-or-treaters, three girls who looked to be about late middle/early high school age who were all dressed as witches, but not your typical cute witches, more like goth.... witches.... I don't know. We got another set of three girls in the same style about an hour later, so while the amount of trick-or-treaters at our door this year was up 600% or something, the two-year-old ladybug that was our only treater last year was way cuter.
But I digress.
Anyways, the only other thing we did was eat Halloween candy and play Age of Empires on the computer together. And then one of my friends came over at 11 to hang out for a few minutes before she had to go for curfew at midnight.
And now I'm going to go sit in the warm shower, which is one of the only good things about cold weather (although today it was warm enough to go without a jacket) and then go to bed.
I know, we married folk are boring. But we missed our ward Halloween party last Thursday and while I thought about putting my blue formal dress on to pretend to be a princess, knowing I would just sit on the couch in it made it not as fun.
Also, NaNoWriMo starts tomorrow, so that's the next pseudo-holiday the Yockeyites are celebrating. But other than that (and the usual grind of homework) that's about all that happened here. Yay!

Halloween in Logan
Thank you Caite for posting! I issued a request for all three of us to post about our Halloweens, and she did, busy as she is! Bless her heart. Now it's my turn.
Halloween this year was just plain fantastic. I decided I was going to be Wonder Woman. Modest, of course. I was not wearing a spangly corset, nor was I wearing spangly booty shorts. I wore pants and a Wonder Woman t shirt. You know what it feels like to walk around as Wonder Woman? It feels great. If someone was narrating my day today, it would go like this:
"Wonder Woman is raking the leaves. Wonder Woman is washing the dishes. Wonder Woman made dinner. Wonder Woman is eating cake."
Or thereabouts. I only wore my t shirt to work today, because I was taking the boss to a restaurant that will give candy to people wearing costumes. It wasn't worth it, though. All I got was a teeny little ziplock bag of Halloween jelly beans. I hate jelly beans.
Also, we had a dinner tonight with friends. My roommate and I planned it and executed it and speaking of cake, that was my favorite part. I made a white cake with vanilla frosting, but dyed the cake orange and the frosting turned out a tombstone gray. It was delicious.
On Saturday I went to two parties within the ward and played games. It was a blast. At the second party, my roommate and I started a Foosball tournament and ended up with three people (my team) on two people (her team) and at the last game I told her that loser does the dishes. I lost. And I did the dishes. And then we left the game to the guys (the experienced players) and went to the haunted corn maze.
The haunted corn maze was just plain AWESOME. We got so lost and held hands and ran away from people and all out had a blast. The actors kind of stopped acting and were goofing off with us, which was great. I know I've told several people the same stories about the corn maze several different times, but really, I just like talking about it because it was that much fun.
And then Monday was the ward FHE Halloween party, which was great. Ashley Roommate and I ran around and were goofing off. We did the donut race, which was eating donuts off of a string and the race was over when you had all the donut in your mouth (you didn't have to swallow it), which means your donut is eventually going to fall off the string and you're going to have to eat it off the floor. It was great. And when it came to apple bobbing, we both stuck our whole heads basically underwater to try to catch the stupid apple. It's a heck of a lot harder than it seems, and we walked around the rest of the night with wet hair.
I love Halloween. I was planning my costume for a while, and I'm already excited for next year. Good thing Thanksgiving and Christmas will be here soon, or I might start getting next year's Halloween costume next week.
I just love holidays.
Love, Meems

My Not-So-Typical Halloween
Alright Emily, here you go, so I win because I got to it first! Ha! Take that! :D (Just kidding, I love you two!)
So my Halloween is going slightly dull. Despite the usual Halloween costumes and paraphernelia adorning my high school, I am bored almost out of my skull. (Which, I'm sure, would be an interesting sight for everyone.) So far, just during school, I have seen several flappers, no less than half a dozen bananas, several hooker cowgirls with fake ponies, and a girl dressed up as some sort of creepy geisha marionette. However, I give kudos to Elli, who is a marvelous person, who dressed up as a fully modest Snow White, and she was GORGEOUS. Seriously. Someone put handcuffs on that woman, for it is a crime to look that good.
At the beginning of band, Mr. Bowman was dressed in his regular clothes. When he walked into the orchestra room where we all were, he was fully decked out in a Captain America costume, fake muscles and all. So kudos to Mr. Bowman, too. For once, you are cool.
I just decided I like the word paraphernelia. Say it. Paraphernelia. Paraphernelia. It's kind of hard to type though.
It is an early release day today, so I won't be at school for much longer (14 minutes, to be exact), and then I shall find myself some food, take a nap, and then go to work from four until seven, which is incredibly extensive, I know. And then I shall see what my lovely parents want to do with me until I head out to Keystone for the Haunting of Keystone tonight. If I die, I love you all. But I am terrified of going.
I am not dressing up this Halloween (I know, I know, I am so lame!), but I didn't really see the point of dressing up for four hours for school, changing my clothes for work, and then changing them back to potentially have gone trick or treating that is not even going to happen this year, before changing back into normal clothes for the Haunting of Keystone.
I did write a creepy and weird story for my journal in ICT today, but if you want to see that, you have to go to my individual blog.
I hope you all have a happy, creepy, gory, and glorious Halloween! Love you all! Love, Me. (Caite, duh!)

Parties and... More Parties! (and Homework...)
As usual we had way too much fun, eating food and laughing and punching each other and overall just enjoying ourselves.
I can't wait for Thanksgiving.
I wish I had more to write about, but unless you want me to tell you about tracker-action organs or characterization in writing.... there really isn't any fancy news about anything. I mean, I want to say "Surprise! We're getting kittens!" but there's this issue with our landlord and our contract saying in big letters "NO PETS" so... yeah. You'd think with 14 credits that I would have less homework than 18, but I kind of don't. Now I'm super glad I chose not to take any ensembles, even though Symphony Orchestra is playing the "Planets" and Berlioz "Symphonie Fantastique"...... I guess I did play in the student organ recital this last Thursday, and I didn't blow it (which is always a plus). And Dan is still working night shifts (I'm surprised he looks as happy as he does in that picture, he only got about four hours of sleep that morning) but he's earning some pretty sweet paychecks every two weeks so I suppose I shouldn't complain overly much.
And in case you didn't know, we're both planned to graduate this upcoming April, something like the second weekend, so mark your calendars because we both plan on being there! What happens after that? Psh. Like we have a clue. Dan is applying for masters degree program as ISU so we could be joining Andrew and Julie in Poky a year from now, but that's about all we've got.
Hope school and everything is going well for you two- it would be nice if in her next post Meems would mention the degree she finally chose, and if KT has anything she's decided yet she should post that. And anything else of remote interest, of course! Like that fact that I love plain mini marshmallows and am going to go eat some now while I try to finish my homework... Night all!
