Happy Halloween! This is the first Halloween since my single-digit years that I've had a legitimate costume, instead of one that I slopped together the day of. And I wasn't creative with it or anything, just purchased it from a store in Chicago, but who cares, it was awesome! ^_^ (It's Chun-Li from the game Street Fighter, if you didn't know.)

Well it's gotten to the point that I'm so swamped with graphic design that I now only sleep a few days out of the week, heh. I think my next job should be a professional spokeswoman for Monster energy drinks - they work! There's no particular reason why I chose that drink either, I got a free sample from an AIGA meeting, and I've just stuck with it. I drink the one that's called ASSAULT. I'd get the chaos one, because I like pronouncing that word "chows", but unfortunately Monster markets it as "KHAOS" and that ruins the fun.

Also, I have new roommates! Meet Peanut and Arthur:

I've always wanted my own pets, and I realize that it's going to be a few years until I get a puppy or a cat. Also, hamsters won't ruin my design homework, are low-maintenance, but are still furry and playful! But now my apartment smells like hamsta-poo. :(

November is only a day away, and it's going to be a fun-filled month! I'm already counting down the days until Thanksgiving and Christmas ^_^ Aaah, my favorite times of the year... maybe this year I'll make the turkey?
