And I say hey, what’s going on?

[thenerdygirl]

I’ve seen a few people on my f-list do posts in a survey like format for their posts which I think is neat and appealing to my scatterbrain feelings at the moment so I’m going to attempt my version of that.

CURRENT EARWORM: Guess from the subject line? Well, for anyone not familiar it’s What’s going on by 4 Non-blondes. I have no idea why I have 4 non-blonde’s stuck in my head right now as all I’ve been listening to are Halloween playlists on songza. I’ve been trying to find some new Halloween music to add to my own Halloween playlist.

CURRENT OBSESSION: Halloween....which I’m sure is shocking no one :P I would warn you all that now that tomorrow is the first of October I’ll probably be talking a lot more about Halloween but I suspect that a)most of you already know that and b) some of you are in the same state of mind.

CURRENT WORRY: It’s a toss-up between money and eating habits as I’ve been terrible with both the past few weeks. With money, it’s the fact that I’m spending too much on frivolous crap and I know I shouldn’t. I’m blaming Halloween since most of my frivolous purchases have been Halloween themed lately. As for eating....my eating habits are so bad. At least I’m going to the gym so that’s something but I really need to make some adjustments. In this area it’s not taking time to prepare proper meals and emotional eating after work are my biggest challenges I need want to work on.

CURRENTLY HAPPY ABOUT: I got a good night’s sleep and, even better, I managed to get my night owl partner to go to bed too. Actually, I think I’m happier that John went to bed early since he’s been only getting 2-3 hours sleep on Sunday night & Monday night. Works super busy for him right now.

CURRENTLY AWAITING: My Halloween costume dresses. I decided against buying a typical costume or deluding myself that I would have the time/energy to make something this year and instead went to Superherostuff.com to buy something that I could wear as a costume but also wear whenever I want. I got one Chewbacca skater dress and one R2D2 dress, pics will be posted once they arrive.

CURRENTLY AMBIGUOUSLY HAPPY ABOUT: My high maintenance friend moving across the country, which I feel weird/bad about admitting. Don’t get me wrong, there’s sadness there but it’s not at all like the sadness I’ve felt in the past about other friends moving. Hell, I have another friend moving to the next town over that I feel sadder about than my HM friend. I guess it’s harder to feel sad about this because one, she’s been wanting to move for a while now so I’m happy for her. Two, she’s been complaining to me through-out our whole friendship how much living in Newfoundland sucks so I’m happy for me I won’t have to hear that weekly dose of negativity for a while. I’m sure once a couple of months go by I’ll be missing her but right now all I can think is that it’ll be nice to get a break.

Anyway, happy end of September everyone!

I really love the survey format for posting. I've rogued a few of them here and there, and they work really well for me! Also, thanks for the earworm! :P

Oooh, those dresses sound very cool! Can't wait to see the pics :D

I've always been fond of making list posts when I wan to post about a couple of days in one update. Let's me get away with writing what I want without worrying too much about being coherent lol.

Fingers crossed, I'll get them by early next week and will have pictures then :)

i never tire of seeing/hearing about Halloween. So bring it on. ♥

[thenerdygirl.livejournal.com]

Yay!

Halloween is my favourite holiday! I welcome other fellow Halloween lovers. What are you dressing up as?

[thenerdygirl.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping to go as Chewbacca for work but if the dress doesn't work out I've got a back up monkey costume in the works. As for actual Halloween, we're still debating if we'll be going out that night.

Halloween! Do you plan to dress up? :)

[thenerdygirl.livejournal.com]

Yes, for work I'm hoping to go as Chewbacca but I'm also debating about dressing up for my bowling league night as casual Batgirl or a monkey since I have stuff for those costumes lying around. How about you, any plans to dress up?

[vibes.livejournal.com]

Like full on fur onesie for Chewbacca? Sadly I don't have any plans to dress up. I had wanted to go as one of those cute pun costumes people are doing now but I don't really have anywhere to where it to.

Oh, October! I so love October! Halloween is awesome -- for me, not so much the dressing up thing any more, but the indulgence in horror and cool decorations and other autumnal things. :)

There's about four character/costume dresses from Her Universe that I'm dying to order, so I get the costume vs. dress you can wear all the time thing. I'm thinking I might spring for the Vader or Solo dress before I go to WDW because OMG CUTE... but I'm sort of wondering if it's plausible, considering my trip is going to be in January. Hmmmm.

High maintenance friends can be such a spiritual drain, so I get your ambiguous feelings about it. I've been there. When she wound up moving to the east coast, I was relieved, to be honest. She's still a super sweet person, but everything was high drama with her all the time. Exhausting.

It's a mix for me, sometimes it's all about the decor and themed music/movies and other years I'm all about the costume. This year it seems to be both equally lol.

I've been wanting to order something for a while now and Halloween plus the upcoming Star Wars movie kind of gave me the excuse. I had to restrain myself to just ordering two but there was a pretty awesome Jedi cowl dress that I was eyeing.

Exhausting is the perfect word for describing it.

[corellian-sugar.livejournal.com]

Ooh, where did you see the Jedi cowl dress? I don't think I've seen that one yet!

[lyssa027.livejournal.com]

I love Halloween so much :)

[twissie.livejournal.com]

I am looking forward to dress pictures and Halloween babble! :DDD

[twodottedlines.livejournal.com]

Big Hallowe'en fan? Do you dress up still? What do you do for Hallowe'en? I used to hate it but in recent years I find it much more fun! Okay. I've made it further through your post now and retract the dress up question ;) Still curious where you'll wear them! That Chewbacca skater dress is adorable. Love it!

I hear you on the emotional eating front. This has been an issue with me lately, too. I'm trying to work on that, as well!
