The Grand Finale! {October Challenge 9#}

So this is it. October is over! November is such a meh month actually no wonder Americans care so much about thanksgiving - I mean what else is there? Okay, before I get to into this month I gotta go back in time... to halloween!

I don't even remember what I did last halloween it was so boring, so I knew I had to make this year a better one. My bestie lives in Wales which is about 3 hours away but this year he was hosting a halloween party so i just had to be there. When we lived together we always did couple halloween costumes - in second year we were Dan and Phil and in third year we were Dana Scully and Fox Mulder from x files - so we knew we had to do something great again. So we decided to dress up as Juno and Paulie Bleaker from the film Juno which we both love in a huge way. My costume was relatively easy to put together and I knew I was going to borrow my friends shirt as it was a perfecr match!

On halloween morning I caught a train and when I got to my friends house we rewatched Juno and ate some toast. We wanted to take photos before it got dark so we did that before the party started. We decided a balloon would be the best thing for my fake pregancy belly even though in the pics it looks kind of crazy lol. I think the outfits look pretty good though! Another successful halloween costume i think :)

We tried to recreate the movie poster lol

 
Fake film poster i made lmao

The party was really fun and I got to see a friend I never get to see which was awesome!! Overall, halloween was really great and I hope all my blog readers also had a good time~ I then stayed with my friend all weekend and we hung out and watched loads of buffy! After 3 years or so we have finally finished it lol, for me it was my second time watching it. We also went on some nice walks and ate lots of snacks lol. Today I got the train back and on my journey home my manager called me asking if I could do overtime for tomorrow .sob I said yes for some reason T-T.

So .... the October Challenge is over! And it was loads of fun... now time to check my list of things to do LOL. 

 - Stop using YouTube! (x)
Kinda? I basically didn't watch any but I did watch a IASIP clip in a moment of weakness LOL. Anyway it's really made me consider just how much I time I spent on YouTube before and now in the future I think I'll be less likely to reach for it when I'm bored.

- Make more interesting blog posts 
Okay so. I don't think I did this lol but I did try a little. I think in the future I'll keep trying to make more unique posts!
 
- Reupload all the images from my website that are on imgur 
Okay I think i've done about 70% of this. so something!
 
- Listen to more of my CDs (x)
This I have totally done, I also got some new CDs this month yay. Defo will be continuing listening~
 
- Watch films more often (x)
