portrait of a good mood

Things you probably shouldn't have done when you were young:
    excuse the double negatives.

• made out through that concert
• not listened to more genres of music
• slept in your contacts
• not "gone for it"
• flirted too lightly
• stayed in and wrote that paper
• stressed out so much
• looked forward to being older
• focused on self-conciousness
• cared what other people thought
• second guessed yourself
• worked so much
• spent all your money on restaurants
• worn your glasses so much
• thought about your ex-s.o.
• wasted the day inside
• told off your parents

List terminus.

So it's October, and it's fantastic, as always. I feel like my bad mood frequency dips really low through the whole month...I'm not actually this jolly. School work is piling up, but fun is too! (Cliche ftw!) I want to get to a pumpkin patch and a corn maze...hopefully next weekend after I work at Woodman's. Also, for some reason, I'm just pleased without being overly analytical. A first in a long time. Seriously and repeated for the umteenth time, life is so much better when enjoyed without worrying so damn much.
Sarah's home!! I saw her and Indica today on my lunch break. I was so happy it was almost embarrassing. I kept telling my bagger that Sarah was coming and she was almost as excited as I was by the time she got there. It was really nice seeing her, but kind of hard realizing that she had other people to see and places to go than just spending every waking moment with me. We just sat in her car with her puppy. I gotta start carrying my actual camera around again, and not just my phone. But these pictures will do for a start.

Other things that have been happening in the realm of becca...my birthday! I'm not usually this excited (lies) but Jason the Seattlian is coming, too! There will be alcohol! I will be legally able to drink! Enough. Jolliness is just happening right now thinking about it (not the drinking, really, just all the excitement that comes with a birthday). My grandma is taking me out for a lunch drink, so I'm also looking forward to that because we've been talking about it for a good 11 years, it's about time.

Finally finished all the Harry Potter books and watched a couple of the movies. I now remember why I didn't want to watch the movies in the first place; they completely edit your memory of the book and the characters, they alter your perception of how the they conduct themselves and what the setting looks like. I prefer my imagination (but I do enjoy watching Tom Felton and that Rupert Grint guy). I feel like the movies especially ruined the idea of a patronus for me, I have such a clear image of what they're supposed to look like, but it has been getting marred every second since I set my eyes on the director's version of them. I hate that. That's why I never saw the Time Traveler's Wife, and never will.

Alright, time to close this thing up. Hope everyone's weekend is going well, enjoy Sunday (in truth, no one ever does. Sundays are far worse than Mondays because of the whole sense of foreboding thing. Fuck Sundays.)
