I heart October.
Not only is it the MLB World Series and the start of the NFL season but it's the beginning of all the pumpkin-flavored goodies! I've already had an iced pumpkin coffee at Coffee Bean, bought a box of Pumpkin Spice bars from Kashi, and had a pumpkin muffin at Disneyland. This is only the beginning of Pumpkin Over-Consumption 2008.
Speaking of the World Series, this has got to be the most bizarre series I've ever seen. The Dodgers are in it and not doing so hot, losing by 2 Sunday in a game they should have won and losing the series 3-1. The defending World Champions, Boston, are in it and just lost 13-4 and now losing the series 3-1. The game was so bad tonight, they showed Stephen King in the crowd reading Cal Ripkin Jr's book. Honestly. So, the potential World Series could be between the Phillies and the Rays (the worst team in baseball last year!). Who would have guessed?
I'm not as invested as I would be since my Braves have been in the post season for awhile now, hopefully taking advantage of the time off and not golfing, but I still watch because I love the sport.
I can't even get into the Miami game tonight since they shouldn't have let that game against Houston slip away....no...not a good idea. Still bitter.
One of my best friends text messaged me today about someone from high school contacting her on myspace oh myspace that she didn't even talk to while we were in school. Talk about a random day complete with contemplating our almost 7 years outside of high school and all the people she's been in contact with aka myspace stalking since high school. Who knew that people really put personal information about themselves online hey, I'm giving nothing away here that's important! ?
I think it's so strange when people, who you thought never noticed you in school, all of a sudden know things about you and act like they knew you. Are some people that desperate for people to recognize them and remember how popular they were in school? Again, huge reason I moved. So now, in conclusion to this post is my own Top 10: Reasons Why I'm Glad I Moved Out of a Small Town In no particular order as I think they are all number 1 for different reasons.
10) I finally know people that I didn't go to school with. Or went to school with someone I know. Or my dad/uncle/grandpa coached baseball, basketball, or football at one point in their lives.
9) I have lived in a different house than my family for almost 7 years and have a better relationship with them because of it.
8) I can drive anywhere without someone calling my parents and asking where I was headed usually in the opposite direction of where I said I was going.
7) There are more than 3 lanes on the freeways.
6) I can change up my small-town routine of going to dinner and a movie ok, I've completely abandoned that routine because I live near a few big cities and can do something different every weekend.
5) I can finally date a guy who's parents don't know mine already or who I only know through my brother so weird.
4) I can date without knowing the ex-girlfriend .
3) The town doesn't close down at 8 on a Thursday night.
2) "Going out" doesn't consist of watching movies and drinking at someone's house every weekend only some weekends.
1) Free from becoming gossip by association.
