Sooo...it's Halloween again. As usual I'll be staying inside ignoring the doorbell all night. It's not that I don't like Halloween, because I do, it's that I forgot to buy sweets. Again. And the trick-or-treaters can think again if they think I'll be giving away my beloved Maoam Stripes. I wish I could celebrate Halloween more, throw a party or something. But I don't have enough friends to invite. It would end up with me carving comedy faces out of pumpkins and stuffing party snacks in my mouth all by myself. Not fun. I like Halloween for its free spirited and lazy attitude. It's like, if you want to participate, join in, but if you don't feel like it, no worries. I like those kind of opt in, opt out celebrations. This year I'm opting out. I'll be staying at home with the light off, watching TV. But with that said, I wish all of you, a very Happy Halloween! I hope you enjoy your night of spooky fun, and that you don't get eaten by a rouge pumpkin! :D
So today is officially the first day of Autumn here in the UK. I know a lot of people will be sad and miserable because of Winter looming ever closer in the distance. But I love Autumn, it's my favourite season! The crispy leaves to crinkle underfoot, the toadstools popping up all around, busy squirrels burying food for Winter, it's just brilliant. The weather is not to hot and not too cold, no need for sun hats or gloves. Just go out in a jumper and jeans and you'll be alright. I love the mists of the mornings as they come down over the hills and disguise everything for a morning. I love the chill in the morning that keeps you snuggled up in bed. I love the smell of the dampness and also the fresh morning smell combining. Autumn is just perfect. I love it. :)
I like to write. I like to write stories and reviews and all sorts but I find that when I write online I ramble a lot, go off on tangents, and generally end up writing at least 50% more than I ever set out to write. Thus Random Ramblings became the name of my personal blog. I will ramble, and it will often be, about random things. I hope at least someone will read this blog or look at this page because that thought makes me happy. And a thought that makes me sad is that no one will ever see what I've spent so long writing. And that it will get lost deep into the web and perhaps, even get eaten by the spider. So there it is, the beginning of my random ramblings. I'll most likely post reviews of various things, amusing or serious quotes, thoughts that wander through my mind and anything I think you might enjoy. So, if you are here and it is not just the massive spider of the world wide web reading this, thank you for reading, and feel free to leave a comment. In fact, I'd love it if you did, just so I'd know you'd been.
