A Spy? How about a Squirrel?

I think I've seen Mission Impossible at least a dozen times... it always makes me want to be a spy.  So why can't I?  Well to start, I'm a horrible secret keeper and I'm way too ticklish.  I just don't think it's in the cards for me...

My friends and I used to be real big into Halloween... or more importantly, showing up in an awesome costume.  The best are always homemade (i.e. the robot costume) or over the top (i.e. the penguin).  This year I'm bringing back the do-it-yourself Halloween costume for people who are just a touch too old to be dressing up.  So this year I'm going to be a squirrel.  I got the idea from my new favorite comedy, Community.  Anyway, I'm going to be a squirrel and my BFF Krystal is going to be my nut!  That's how you know you're really friends with someone... when they're willing to be your nut.  Hehe.

I'm a little hung up on the tail... but hope to get started on it this weekend.  Tomorrow night we're watching Hocus Pocus, eating pizza and planning Halloween Party 2010.  To top it off this weekend is going to be kinda cold, which always puts me in a good mood.

Here's a look at a couple of my Halloween costumes past... Rainbow Brite (with Amanda as a peacock), a vampire (see Alice in Twilight) and my penguin costume!  (Thanks for finding it Kim!!)  Of course, the squirrel is going to trump them all.  Have you ever seen my impersonation of a squirrel??  It's adorable... you won't be able to tell us apart.  Don't miss it. =)

With every Beginning...

A couple of things upfront... I'm incredibly random and I expect this blog to show that.  It'll either get better as I keep at this... or I'll get bored and give up and we'll just never make sense of the things I've written. =)

A few things about me (since it's my blog and it's all about ME)... I'm a passionate person, I'm overly honest and trusting, eternally an optimist, outgoing, a spontaneous planner, incredibly quirky... and we'll call those the good things.  Oh!  And clearly I'm Kind of a Bad Ash...

To kick this off I'll probably just talk about what I do... I need more hobbies, so I guess this gets added to that list... but I'm looking for more stuff to fill my time with.  People ask what I like to do and it's usually, "ummm run around with friends and watch movies," which are both true, but not a true "hobby."  So I'm going to work on that.

I do spend a lot of time with friends, "The Group" is literally (as literal as it can be) my second family... weekends are spent eating dinner, seeing movies and other random activities.  And by random I mean like dodgeball or automatic writing. =)  Been a while for both... but that's what I mean by random.  We also spend a lot of time talking in parking lots... less now than back in high school... we're getting old!  And our numbers are dwindling... the 20-30 strong is now a solid group of 10-ish?  Just depends on the day.

DVR changed my life... I watch way too many tv shows.  So many (some overlap) that I have recordings on the second DVR in the basement.  Oops. =)  I love movies.  I love quotes from movies and songs.  I like to sing as loudly as I possibly can in the car with the windows down.  I'm a big fan of penguins...

So on a normal, "what happened today" ... I came home to find that they're building a road behind my house.  I'm bummed 'cus it was just corn... now it'll be houses in another year or two.  Oh well, bring on the privacy fence.  And my friends can't tease me about the "Children of the Corn" kids coming to get me... Halloween just got that much less creepy! 

That's all I've got for now... let's see how this thing goes!
