Back to School? Ha, That's Not for Me!

Well, well, well. Look who's gone back to school. Not me, that's for sure!

That point of my somewhat (very) taunting entrance into this post is that school's back in session. I've decided- it's so very odd to not be going back to school. Not that I don't like the freedom, because, oh my gosh, I do. But. (Because there's always a 'but'...) The free time does get a bit boring. I'm still on my job search. Wish me luck, everyone!

So, I didn't go to college. If you guys thought I was going to, surprise, surprise, eh? The truth behind the matter is, I think you either have the talent in writing or you don't. I've been told that I have talent- I believe I have talent, but I also believe I had a lot to improve on- so I'm not rushing right into college. Sure, there's grammar and structure and point of views and other technicalities that can be taught, but... I suppose I'm coming off as a bit of a pompous person, hm? Partially my other reason for not going off to college, I know that I want to be a novelist, but what will I do in my downtime? I'm not sure. Without knowing, I'm not wanting to put money into learning something that I may never use. So, I'm taking my time to think a few things through.

Since school time is here, that means that the fair has come and gone. Did everyone have fun? I had an enjoyable time. There's a few commentaries on CNO's page, so if you haven't read those and you want to, go right ahead. My thoughts on the fair are pretty much contained in those commentaries. It was good, though!

Weather alert! Rain alert! We're going to get some rain! (Let's not jinx it now!) We really need the rain, though. No storms, thanks, considering the late bad consequences of thunderstorms, but just some rain. Does anybody else miss the smell of rain?

Hopefully the rain sticks to this weekend and not the next, because next weekend, September 7th is the First Friday of the Month! Which means, Broadway's First Friday jamboree (not the right word, but I don't have a right word) will be happening. I hear there's going to be fire breathers and stilt walkers, mimes and such this time around. I've never been uptown during one of these, and I'm planning on going this time, so if I manage that, you should see a story from me. Or, if you're bored and have nothing to do, it's probably worth checking out.

Something else that I have been checking out: the Halloween displays at the local stores. It's two months from now; so what? It's never too early to start planning for Hallow's Eve. I go out of my way to decorate my house even though we're in the boondocks and no one really sees it. And I go to a friend's house to hand out candy, in costume. Because I can't very well go trick-or-treating anymore... but I love dressing up. This year, my costume, you ask? Planning on a character from the telly show Grimm. Full out makeup. We'll see how it works. If it looks good, I'll snap a picture for CNO.

That's all that's really new with me. Hope that you guys are enjoying the weather (oh, who am I kidding, it's kind of hot, isn't it?) and wishing you the best for your Labor Day weekend!
