Real Life Halloween

Few weird things have happened to me today (and this month). Kinda spooky things. Its Halloween season after all. More strange things may happen before the weekend is out, so stay tuned.

I was just scrolling through old emails, came across a resume and cover letter for one of my career classes that had me fake an application for a "future" job I potentially wanted someday. The date on the cover letter was today.

I was cuddling with Alex, scrolling through Facebook or something and out of NOWHERE he flips out, flies out of my arms, hits the wall and is standing on my bed, back arched and staring at a spot just to the right of me. He has never done anything like that before. I tried to pet him and see what scared him but he just kept staring at that same spot. Something unseen to me which was also right next to me. He hasn't come back in my room for an hour.

Earlier this month I had the house to myself all night. I slept roughly and had weird dreams/nightmares. One dream was that someTHING had gotten into my place via my unlocked door. I woke with a start and felt like I couldn't move. The thing was still in my mind and it felt like it was still there. It took all my courage to flip over back onto my side (somehow the dream had me twisted in a weird shape) and I had to convince myself that the door was locked. Its always locked. Still, I was up for about an hour after that and I didn't sleep well the rest of the night. The next morning I went to leave my apartment and the door was unlocked.

 Sometimes the dresser behind my door creaks which isn't a big deal, but just now I heard it sort of thump. I ignored it as usual but then heard it again. I was listening to music so I couldn't really hear it, maybe my ears were playing tricks. The next time I heard it I went to pause my music, stopped moving myself and then heard "thump, thump, thump". I had a mini heart attack and then went to open the door realizing that Alex had somehow gotten trapped in there and didn't care to more for like 10 minutes after I closed the door! Alex, the almost black cat is really enjoying this Halloween thing...

The Cake Fairy

Today was a pretty standard weekend here in PA. I dont do much but hope that its nice out so I can go for a walk and explore on my own, but the sun didnt come shining through my window this morning to wake me up. I slept in. After a few hours of lounging around watching youtube videos about history, I asked Cassie if she wanted to explore the town. We decided to take a visit to a local winery/brewery, Stone & Key Cellars, to do some tastings. They had quite the spread of things to taste and we were overwhelmed! Fruit wines and your typical whites and reds, cider and mede! I started out with some of the red fruit wines and Cassie with the white fruits. They were all a bit sweet for me so I moved right into the bold reds. We got four tastings each and shared our tastes but also, the bartender was super cool and gave us more tastings of whatever he wanted! He was talking to us about the local area and what breweries to check out next in our exploration of Pennsylvania. Going to ...

Bio Bay, PR positives

The coolest part of our trip to Puerto Rico was definitely the Bioluminescent Bay in Vieques [side note, bioluminescence is a big word, mostly it just means stuff that lights up but scientifically it means 'bio'-life, 'lumin'-light, 'escence'-to put forth. So, life that puts forth light!] It was an experience that I cannot easily put into words. The night started out a bit strange. We got picked up at our hostel at 9pm, along with 5 other girls, by a thirty-something, long-haired gentleman. He walked us about a block to the van that would transport us to the bio-bay. The van was, well, to put it nicely, a fixer-upper. It had bench seats which were collapsing, the roof fabric was falling down, it puttered around and squeaked during turns. Ty and I joked that we were paying 40 bucks to get murdered in this van especially when we turned down a dirt, side street that was full of pot holes. We slowly lumbered along this road for a few minutes until we made it to our ...

Eating Like Crap is Crap

Im trying really hard not to spend money on food as there is so much food here at camp. Its not horrible food but its definitely not the best. So, with me trying not to spend money on food, I haven't been eating the greatest. I don't know if its because of other reasons, but Ive been feeling like shit lately and Im attributing it to lack of nutrients. I dont know how people eat crap all the time and survive. It must be a skill. I was eating alright about two weeks ago but this last week it hasn't been very pretty. Ive been a scavenger and theres been a lot of bread and fake meat and here is how I feel: Im tired ALL the time. No matter how many naps I take or hours I sleep a night, Im always exhausted by mid-day and just want to lay around, sleep and do nothing. Ive also been starting to get weak headaches throughout the day. Or having sore muscles from doing minimal exercise. That also makes me just want to do nothing. My stomach is also crazy. It hurts if I eat som...
