I Fail At Keeping a Schedule + The Man In The Forest

Lol. So. Remember how I was all, "Yeah! Gonna stay on a normal schedule and update regularly!" NOPE. I'm not good at that, apparently. I got all involved with schoolwork, and Occupy Columbia, and then my awesome boyfriend flew me out to see him for the weekend, and in between all that I forgot to update. I was actually on the verge of deleting this account, cause I never update, when something caught my attention and  I though it was worth mentioning...

So, my mommy recently moved from the suburbs out to rural, western Massachusetts. The area is heavily wooded, and the house itself is right on a pond. As someone who was brought up in a fairly forest-y area, I think the whole place is 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

Anyway, he was gone when I went back outside, and I didn't have time to look around for him cause Andrew and I were already late for a 6 Flags trip!!!!!! It ended up being a pretty uneventful trip, as a few of the rides were shut down, and we just ended up waiting in line for like, an hour to go on a haunted tour in the weeWoods. It ended up not really being scary, but I've worked haunted houses before, and when you have to give birth to demon babies for 3 hours every night for a week, things just don't scare you the same anymore.

However, it was worth it to go cause Andrew surprised me with an early Hanukkah present- Season Passes to 6 Flags for next year! I am excite!

So it was a really great weekend. It's just too bad that I got back to Chicago and immediately got sick. Lame.

 Well, I'm off to do some grocery shopping! See ya!
