As many activities as there are leaves on my lawn

It seems like every post says something like this:

"I've failed my readers once again"

"I missed the post for last month"
"Oh darn it, I forgot to write on my blog"

What is going on here?
I suppose I have priorities... More important things to do... Like facebo-- uhhh I mean, homework.

So here I am (again) posting late.

Well, the big update would be... I'm 16 now. I celebrated my 16th birthday this weekend with many of my friends and my immediate family. My party was New York themed. Pretty classy right? We all wore fancy clothes and ate yummy food. It was a hit worthy of Broadway.

I also got the present I really wanted. No, not a car. A guitar! It's wonderful; a very pretty guitar with nice action and gorgeous sound. If you want specifics, it's a 2006 Taylor 812 CE. Acoustic electric.

Now let's back up to October. Halloween and fall activities went well. I got to hang out with my boyfriend (yes, I have a boyfriend ^_^) a few days in a row. We watched a movie and later in the week went to a haunted corn maze. And no, I wasn't the only scary thing in there. I got scared, he got scared, we both got scared, and we got lost. All in all: had a great time.

I was a mime for Halloween. I had the striped shirt, beret, and everything. I even painted my face white. The hardest part was not talking. I'm kind of talkative (if you haven't guessed already from my manner of speaking in my posts). I think I was able to keep my little mouth shut for close to 5 or 6 hours. Impressive.

At the beginning of this month, NaNoWriMo started. For all of you who have no idea what that is, I shall explain. (No it's not an anime convention). It is short for: National Novel Writing Month. A crazy month when aspiring authors all over the world try to write a 50,000 word novel in one month. I started doing it, but considering my birthday and party were the first weekend of this month, I lost a lot of time. I only have just over 4,000 words... It may seem like a lot, but compared to 50,000... let's just say I'm losing hope. I shouldn't be too hard on myself, because I've actually never done NaNoWriMo before, but I'm losing faith. I might just try writing my novel over several months instead of one. We shall see.

Hope your fall is colorful, crisp, and clean, plus more!
