a hundred miles seems pretty far...but they've got trains and planes and cars

...i'd walk to you if i had no other way...

today was halloween. i love halloween. i always did. i guess i always will. two of my favorite things are completely legal on halloween: dressing up and pretending to be someone else, and eating as much candy as humanly possible. this year, however, was different. i went trick-or-treating with Lily and we had a good time. we got a lot of candy and we laughed at ourselves when we were attempting to trick or treat for Unicef without a Unicef box...and when we were spraying Lily's hair with that glow in the dark hairspray, and when we accidentally went one house twice. we obviously had fun, but i became homesick for the first time in a while. i've been so happy here aside from the workload and my friends are amazing. so are my friends at home, who i've spent the majority of halloweens with in my lifetime. i missed my street, i missed the kids, i missed seeing Lexi and Nicole and Jillian in their costumes, i missed going to my grandma's and showing her my costume, i missed me and Gauri being so excited about going out trick or treating that we barely touched our hw, i missed Fagin going crazy with the doorbell constantly ringing, i missed Allie and Arielle (who i've spent most of my halloweens with), and over the weekend i was so sad that i had to miss Bevin's halloween party. i was, however, SO glad that Lily wanted to go trick or treating, because i never would have asked anyone to go! and, well, there's nothing like free candy. and it wasn't too hot or too cold out, so that was a plus. i do, however, think my mom missed me more than she let on.

i may get to bed by 12:30...i did most of my hw, i'm sitting here with my Cuddy makeup still caked on and my Cuddy hairdo still remains in tact. and tonight, Cuddy wore flats. no way i was walking around in heels. i'm so happy that i don't have a lot of work for a lil bit, and i'm excited for the concert this weekend and to see MY PARENTS!! however, i have no idea where K is, i still have to finish my calc hw, and i miss home terribly. i really hope that Bevin can come up with my parents. that would make my life. aside from being sort of homesick, all is pretty much right with the world. there is a big ass pile of candy on my bed...what could go wrong?

i watched this cool show called Phenomenon (sp?) which was escentially a reality show for Houdinis of the future. Criss Angel is one of the judges, which pretty much says something right there. Mike Super, the magician who came to Salve, was on it and actually performed one of the tricks he did here. i loved that i knew what was going to happen. the show was extremely appropriate for halloween. i really loved it. and i did get to watch House last night! i honestly thought it was the best show of this season. Foreman is back, essentially, and the wars are on between Foreman, House, and Cuddy.

i should probably sign off...maybe, just maybe, going to bed by 12:30 will happen. i'm so excited for this weekend.
