HALLOWEEN WEEKEND!!

This past weekend was so fun! Not only was it Halloween, but it also was Kapper's fake birthday from when me and Derek got him!! His real birthday is somewhere in may and he is 3 and a half years old. But Me and Derek got him last October 30th so to us, he is a 1 year old. Derek bought him a birthday cake, we gave him a tiny sliver, and no it wasn't chocolate and we scraped off alot of the icing, but he LOVED IT! I then took him for a walk in one of his favorite parks near my apartment. He had a really good day! I have a picture I took of him with my phone, I will upload it later today!

Then on Halloween, I really didn't go to any parties or anything like that, to much drama. Me and Derek just bought tons of candy, watched horror movies, and made rice crispy treats and pumpkin pie! His friend Stephanie joined us later in the night. I don't think I have seen so many scary movies in one weekend in my life! We watched Halloween and Silence of The Lambs, then on Saturday we watched Halloween 2, and Sunday watched Halloween 4, The Strangers (crazy scary and disturbing!) and The Happening. It was alot of fun even though I have never been so freaked out in my life, especially since I think all of these movies happen in Illinois, other than The Happening and thats where Derek lives!!! AND, it seems when your freaked out and watching horror movies, you OF COURSE here more sounds, creaks, dogs barking..I mean WHATS WITH THAT!!

I'm also currently trying to get my new computer set up which is taking forever because I just have a lot to put back onto my computer! My website, which most of you probably have seen, is going to be updated soon with new pictures, less pictures, more organization, and hopefully some flash built into it. I will put a link in here once I am somewhat done with it, and when I am, will definitely want some feedback!

I will put up those pictures of Kapper later and my 70lb pumpkin I carved later on today!! BE EXCITED!!!

A best friend visited me!!!

sorry I have kind of been away from this thing for a bit, but my computer is still broke!! I think tomorrow I'm ordering a new computer and it hopefully will get here fast!! Doing an internship and school without a computer is almost impossible!!! But on a higher note...

My friend Keely visited me from Norman!! She had never been up here and we really didn't do to much since she was only here from wend-sund, but we did a lot I hadn't even done!! Ha ha. I felt like I was a tourist in my city on my fall break!! Ha.

I was able to eat dinner in this rotating resturaunt in downtown on the top floor of the millenium hotel. It was soooo good and really pretty!! Plus everything I did was free because keely's mom was there for a business convention, and so they let me tag along! :) another thing we did was I ate dinner at The City Museum!! It was really cool cuz I had never eaten there! I also saw this mini circus show at the museum I had never seen, it was really good! We also went to the budweiser brewery, which I had already done but it was still fun, and of course I had my gigantic camera the whole time so I def looked like a tourist!! We also then went to the arch and got up to the top, which I hadn't done since I was little and could faintly remember it, so that was pretty cool to do again. And this was the fun part, went in search of the exorcist..

As some of u may know, The Exorcist, the movie, was based on a real exorcism that happened here in the lou! The boy got diagnosed in washington dc, but when louis appeared on his chest, his family brought him here, where he lived with his aunt in the 1950's. The scenes with the girl on the bed were actual accounts written by priests who saw things happen, and wrote it down in a journal. One of the preists are still alive, he came to webster I think. But anyway, he was possesed in his aunts house, and they had the exorcism in St. Alexius hospital and on the SLU campus. The portion of the hospital it happened was torn down, so me and keely visited a parking lot where it use to be next to the new hosptial, nothing happened. We also went to the Jesuit housing place where they housed the boy on SLU campus, but really didn't see anything there either. But when we found the house, keely took a picture of it and her camera started malfunctioning and it erased a picture she took of the house!!! So we turned around and I took pictures, without a flash on my digital, so there was no way of any reflection, and in 2 of my photos there are orbs!! Orbs found in photos mean there is a spiritual presence!!! And the color people see from the boy is green, and the orbs are green!! There is one in each picture, clear as daylight, green, and bright. Being a photographer, that's just something ur camera can't do, yes dust may appear in the picture if its in ur camera body, but not as bright circular things, and yes those could form if u use a flash and there are reflections, but I was atleast 30 ft from the house, it was night, the only lights on were in the bottom two windows, and I didn't use a flash. Its crazy!!! We were freaked out!!

But yeah, it was a fun week to stop thinking about my computer!! And to do a lot of touristy things! I have found it is a lot of fun, to get tours of things in ur own city, just because yeah u may have seen it before, but its fun to be a tourist, to act like u don't know what's what, but actually r a few steps ahead from the actual tourists. And its cheaper than traveling somehwhere else!! Sorry if this entry is long, I'm writing on my phone so I can't really tell the length!! Hope I didn't bore!!

QUOTE AND PIC OF THE DAY!!!

"I felt so freaking numb to everything I have experienced in my life, and for that I am here to forgive you. For me, what I want more than anything in the world is for it to be okay with you for me to feel something again. Even if it's pain. This is my life dad, this is it. I have spent 26 years waiting for something else to start. So no, I don't think it is to much to take on, because its everything there is. I see now its all there is. Let's just allow ourselves to be whatever it is that we are".
-Garden State

The quote is from the movie Garden State, one of the most amazing REAL quotes I like from a movie. I read it and it partially reminded me of me and my dad. Just the last line, allow ourselves to be whatever it is that we are... The picture, is from the top of the arch. My friend keely visited, I will go into that in my blog! Hope u like!
