Thinking About Halloween (Yes, Already)

I know it’s probably insane to think about what to be for Halloween 6 months before it comes up, but I’m weird like that (no, I was thinking about it in January, too, so sue me). Honestly, it’s probably my favourite holiday and I don’t know anyone who has said that. I can appreciate the other holidays (I literally only celebrate Christmas, Halloween, and birthdays), but I really like Halloween the best because of the aesthetics, the season, and the fact that you can dress up all crazy and no one can judge you because you have a solid excuse.

First of all; the aesthetic. The colours that most people probably think about are orange, black, purple, and green. I really like the combination of these colours and it’s almost everywhere you look during Halloween.

Second is the season. Fall is probably arguably the best season. In Spring, there’s water, puddles, and mud everywhere. Summer gives you sunburns and you sweat a lot. Winter’s just cold, plus there’s snow storms. The only bad thing I can think about Fall is the weather can change from ups to down, and when it snows, it’s very unexpected.

And third; COSTUMES. I still am very on the edge of what to be for Halloween this year, but I have a few solid ideas. I think it’s really cool that people get to dress up and go around getting candy for one day in the year. Some people might say that it’s really only for kids, but I think it’s completely fine for adults to dress up, too. They can go out and buy their own candy, though (it might be unfair for an adult to go trick-ot-treating).

Also, movies. Halloween movies are pretty cool. Mostly I’ll watch a few scary movies, but mostly, I’ll just watch the very few Tim Burton movies that come on literally maybe once in a lifetime on our TV (it sucks, like if you’re favourite show wasn’t on Netflix or available anywhere) (+ its also sucks that most of his movies are old so they aren’t even relevant anymore).

I think that’s basically all I have about Halloween. Hope you enjoyed (if you’re reading this 6 months into the future, hope you’re having a good Halloween).

Honoring Someone Else’s Blog

https://annahsaemsblog2020.edublogs.org/

I decided to honor my friend, Annah’s, blog. I like it because it’s interesting, pretty good with descriptions, and she’s completely herself on it. I like how she sticks to things she likes, unlike me, who just has a bunch of dumb opinions on things I prefer in different phases of my life.

I have a creative mind, but I have no clue what to blog about

I’m a pretty creative person, and I know how to execute ideas that come to me fairly easily, either in a drawing or writing it down or whatever, but today I had no idea what to blog about.

I’ve been thinking about the music I’m listening to, so that’s interesting. Having broken earbuds and listening to a song that requires the left and right side of them both together is not a good combination because I heard what sounds came through the left earbud just yesterday and I’m questioning my existence now. It doesn’t help that it’s rock music and vocalists tend to make a ton of strange noises (metal screams are out of the question) in the genre, so I’m basically asking for it (it’s a new song, too. Basically never listened to it).

I’ve also been drawing a lot more. Not drawing, but opening a sketchbook and staring and what I’ve previously drawn and either cringing or trying to make out what I can fix in it. I’ve been drawing a lot of different things recently, too. I used to only draw fanart of random cartoon characters in a random style with no detail, but now I’m drawing real people in a slightly more realistic style (at least with realistic type colouring) and different details I’ve never done before a lot. If you look through my most recent sketchbook, you’d probably find a lot of tattoos (see blog post below) and vampires and dead looking things. The odd time I’ll draw something meaning to have way more colours than black and red, but since it’s a sketch and you would’ve seen previous drawing in it, you would assume it’s supposed to be around the same style as the other drawings.

I don’t really know what this blog was, but I hope you enjoyed it (This had more info on me, too, so that’s fun).

My Opinion On Tattoos

I don’t really have a strong opinion on tattoos. I think they’re pretty cool, and most of my favourite artists have tattoos, but I think I would stay away from them until I’m 100% sure I want one and that it’s in the right place and a right choice.

I don’t have a fear of needles and I think it’s really cool that some people have a ton of them even if they get strange looks from people. It could be a big form of self expression, too.

One of my biggest fears, however, would be the artist messing up (rarely happens because they’re professionals). Just the thought that there could be a small mistake in the image that’s really noticeable to you and you can’t even get rid of it. That’s why I would probably still be considering getting one even if I’m sure I want one. Also, the pain of getting them would probably be really bad. My mom got a tattoo and said that it hurt a bit, but that she couldn’t really feel it because of adrenaline. I’m scared about that not happening to me and feeling every bit of it.

If I did get tattoos, I’d probably get them on my arms/wrists first, somewhere visible sometimes and sometimes not. It’d be really cool to get some kind of design, but I probably would want a tattoo with a proper meaning before I just get a lot of random ones. Also, I probably wouldn’t cover my entire body because it might look strange.

I already have a few potential ideas of ones i want, but they might change if I ever go through with actually getting one. Who knows.
