It's About To Be Spooky Time, Get Ready

Sure, Halloween is just one date in October, but Spooky time is an entire season.

Yes, it is August, and it IS time to get started decorating, celebrating. I mean, yes, it totally is only less than a 100 days away and I should have totally started earlier, but it's okay, I can catch up.

Technically, Autumn doesn't start until like September 22, but Starbuck's Pumpkin Spice Latte (AKA PSL) arrives in stores September. I have to prepare for this. I just can't one day get over my summer iced coffee and into a fall iced coffee, I have to ease into it.

Spooky time should be year round. Ghouls, ghosts, and witches? Sounds like my normal wardrobe anyway. I mean the Sanderson Sister's who? Don't you mean me, myself and I?

So we have to get ready for it, but how?

1. Watch Scary Movies

Giphy

Yes, scary movies are good all year, but to really get you into the Spooky Time spirit, gotta watch the OG scary movies.

2. Watch Spooky Movies

Giphy

Now that the horror is out, now you can watch the fun scary movies. Scream anyone? You have 5 to choose from.

3. Pumpkin anyone?

Giphy

Pumpkin flavored anything. LITERALLY ANYTHING. Coffee? Yes. Donuts? Yep. Candles? You betcha. Pumpkins? Of course. Decorative, edible, smashable, carvable. Pumpkins can do MANY THINGS.

4. Watch the CW Pumpkin Dancing Man

Giphy

I don't know what this is from, or how it even exists, but I love it and it is my mood from August 1 to November 5th.

5. Costumes

Giphy

It is time to start thinking about costumes. Are you going to do a group one with your friends? With your significant other? Are you going to be something extravagant? Be something funny? The time to start is NOW.

It is only August, but there is so many things to do, to see, to accomplish, you have to start early.

Happy Spooky Season!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
