Octoberrrrrr!!!!!!

October is my favorite month

Hockey. 
Halloween.
Hoodies.

Yep... this year, I will have all 3 of my lovely H's. Yipeeee!!!! I'm feelin' it man, I'm feelin' it. Let's get it on.

Hockey. Today was opening night. The first official day of the season!! My Sharks don't play until Thursday (2 more days, babyyy!) My fave east coast team, the Washington Capitals played tonight, though. They lost. 6-4 against the Chicago Blackhawks. I had my first 3 hockey strokes tonight. Mmhmm! 

Yep. Awesome texts like this, start in October.
I surround myself with good people.

Halloween. 30 more days, ya'll!! Yeeeeeeee!!!!! I freak out over almost every Halloween display I see. I love it. I love it all. Not so much the candy, but the decorations! Yes, the decorations!! And the movies. The moooooovies!!! 

Hoodies. I've had the pleasure of wearing both of my AFI and SJ Sharks hoodies over the past 2 weeks. We've had strange weather. The nights/mornings are cold and the days are hot. Pretty soon, it will be hoodie weather all day long. Can I get another "Yee"?! Yeeeeeeee!!!!!

Yeah, I just love October. 

September did almost nothing for me. It was good to half of my friends... but crappy to the other half of them. It was more crappy than good for me. I will not focus on the crappy stuff. Just the good stuff.

*September (well, the middle of it) brought me "Sleepy Hollow" on FOX. "Sleepy Hollow" is my new favorite show (or my new current fave show). It totally freaking is. It is fabulous. It is gross. It is crazy. It's funny. It is fabulous... wait, I already said that. Ha! Yeah, I'm pretty much obsessed. I know I stated in a blog post last year, that Johnny Depp was the ONLY "Ichabod Crane" in my eyes... no. Tom friggin' Mison for the ABSOLUTE win. He's perfect. 

THIS is the perfect explanation... overview... synopsis (?) of this wonderful show. It was written by my non-related twin (I swear to the heavens above that Tracey and I are the SAME person) Go here: Sleepy Hollow
I'm reposting her blog post because this was almost the SAME thing that I was going to write on here. Almost. Because, you know, Tracey and I are the SAME person. *Insert Twilight Zone music here* But yeah, I highly recommend "Sleepy Hollow". It's sexy. Rawr. Rawwwwrr!!!

*Paychecks. Need I say more? Didn't think so. They weren't much, but it's a start, y'all.

* Random acts of EPIC kindness from 2 strangers who aren't exactly strangers. I mean, we've never met in person (but we will the next time a certain band tours, dammit!! QUOTE ME!) It all started back in June when I started posting on a certain app app. Not an app... but an app app. (Ha!) Things went crazy in July (I would actually almost like to thank the person/people responsible for the craziness) and about 50 or so people migrated to various places (social networking) to chat about daily life/talk about a certain band that we all love, and pretty much whatever. But it is so much more than that. We are a little family. A support unit. We are all different... yet, we are all the same. Whether it be similar interests, similar tastes in music, similar quirks, similar personalities... whatever. I really think we were all brought together for a much bigger reason. Anyway, I could probably write an entire blog post about these lovelies, but let's get to the epic kindness.
Ash offered to pick me up (from the bay area) on her way to SoCal to see Hanson perform for 3 nights. That probably would've hindered her route and made her lose time on the road. She was not going to charge me a damn thing. I only had to pay for my tickets and food. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to swing that :(
Then maybe a week or so later (?) Lexi had a spare ticket to the L.A. show (her sister could no longer go)... so she offered it to me... free of charge. FREE OF CHARGE. I was halfway there, I was livin' on prayer. I couldn't go. It killed me for a while, but I was happy for my all of my Cali sistas on their epic adventures! I was there in spirit. These ladies didn't have to go the extra mile... but they DID. These people are good people. Damn good people. And not just these 2 lovely ladies... there are about 50-ish or so people in our fanson family, and every single one of them are epically amazing people. Seriously. I wish we all lived in the same state (and um, country? One of these lovelies lives in Lebanon, there's one in the U.K., and I believe two are in Australia). We would have beyond epic times together!!! A lot of  the "misfits" have met up with each other over the course of the current "Anthem tour" and more are going to meet up as the tour continues... but one day, we will ALL meet up and it will be friggin' fantastic. I'm happy just knowing that these amazing people exist. Damn, that was really mushy, wasn't it? Sorry. Not sorry. I could boast some more, but like I said, that's another blog post.

*Pre-season hockey. Such a tease... but it does the trick. 

That was pretty much the only goodness of September... from what I can remember.


VIVA OCTOBER!!!!!!
