Good Ole' Autumn

Hellooo my peoples! I didn't update as soon as I had anticipated, but oh well. I haven't been doing anything too exciting, just some random things.

Homecoming was a couple weekends ago. This was the extent of my Homecoming spirit lol.

Then, we were at dinner at the college, and we usually grab a few bananas to take home with us. Well, this was the sticker on mine...

You should always listen to bananas! Haha, pretty silly, but it made me laugh. :) Anyways, it was snowing quite a bit in the last few weeks. Most of that is gone now, but it's still pretty chilly out there! I don't mind it too much, though. I was actually really getting into wearing my scarves and warm vests. That's actually something I like about colder weather. Oh, and I loved being able to wear my BOOTS!
I am not really that into shoes, but I can always appreciate a good ole pair of boots. I got these for under $30 at Kohl's two years ago. They have been through a lot (including walking through really deep snow a lot), yet they are still in pretty good condition. This is only the second pair of boots I have owned in my life (besides snowboard boots, and those tacky ones you wear when you're younger). I used to hate boots and was never interested in them. Now I adore them. I got my first pair from Kohl's as well. I really liked them and I was sad when they wore out. They lasted quite a while though, and I did walk a good distance in them every day during the winter. Which is funny, because I think they are designed more for style than winter function, so I really pushed them past their limits. Oh well, they worked fine for me. So anyways, I went right back to Kohl's and was lucky enough to have found these on sale :) They have lasted two years so far, and I am hoping they will make it through another winter! After that I can only hope I'll be able to find another pair that I like. I really like them to have a wedged heel too, because then I can be taller and it makes me feel like I have long legs. Yay boots!

Moving on...I finally gave in after ignoring countless invites, and have started playing Farmville on Facebook. LOL. It's not too bad, actually. I was having fun decorating my farm, and I actually decided to make it into a Fall Festival! You might wanna click on the image to see it closer.

Oh how I miss going to those! Pumpkin patch, hay rides, apple orchard, corn mazes etc...
My farm has a pumpkin patch, spooky forest, apple orchard, milk a cow, face painting, a hay bat, and a wagon ride. Oh and I love this little kitty that pops out of the Jack-O-Lantern!
Last but not least, I really really like this "She was mine" cover. I like some of Alyssa's other covers as well, like "Where I stood." She has a pretty voice :)

No matter where you go, i won't be very far
Cause in my head I'll be right there where you are
Cause love is no distance baby
Love, love has no distance baby
No, not when it comes to you and me
<3Pon and Zi!

Priscilla Ahn is great and I love her song "Wallflower"! This is just a random video that happens to have the song by the way.

That is all for now. I know, very brief and random. I have some other things I want to include, but I think I should save that for after Halloweeeeeen. What are you doing for Halloween? I hope you have a great one!

P.S. Here is a little thing I wrote a couple years ago. I named my blog after it and it was inspired by Autumn :) I wrote it in the Fall during the time when I was really starting to like Brian, but he was over 2,000 miles away.

Like A Breeze

The sun beams are painted across my cheek
my eyes open to a fuzzy illumination
that awakens me into a conscious state
forcing the silhouettes among me to come into focus
I realize the space beside me is empty just like everyday before...
reluctant, I smile anyway
this day anew a promise of an array of smiles
temporary satisfactions
little bits of hope that keep me going
much like bubbles dancing about obliviously
glistening in the light for a while
they all pop inevitably
shadows grow, darkness falls
I lie awake restless with thought
until the night eventually lures me into complacency
I will surrender, but first
empty tears fall, my breath quivering
I am by myself, I am aloneThis routine marks the epitome
of what I had become

broken, hidden, lost

but as the wind whispers through

gently guiding withering leaves to a ground

frosted with the first kiss of autumn

something else comes
entwined in its delicate embrace

unexpected, unfamiliar,
but I feel more alive

like a breeze in my atmosphere

caressing my soul

bringing life to a tranquil scene

now here I lay, just like everyday before

restless with thought

until the night eventually lures me into complacency

I will surrender, but first...

tears fall.....and a smile forms...?

these tears are different

these tears are not empty

I am by myself, I am not alone
