In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been having some issues keeping this blog up. I don’t really know why…I’m usually full of ideas. I rant to myself all the time, but for some reason I never find the time to write in down.
Because of this, I’ve decided to take Flamora in a new direction. I will be completely redesigning it and making my portfolio the focus. The blog will still be here, but it will be more off to the side. I’m not exactly sure how long it will take. I’m thinking it should be done by the end of the year at most.
My services and such are still available, so feel free to email me concerning anything of the sort. I will still check it every day. :D

I know the day is already light years past for most of you, but as usual I’m a little late in addressing the event. Let’s just all pretend this was written three days ago, shall we?
I will start off by saying that I never really liked Halloween much. When I was younger, I was terrified of everything. The thought of intentionally watching a movie that would scare me was absolutely ridiculous to me. Not only that, but I was never a fan of trick-or-treating, either. Being the too-logical-for-my-age, paranoid little child I was, I wasn’t too keen on going to strangers houses for candy. Seriously, what if they tried to poison me? I could find the cure for cancer some day.
As I got older, I thought the Halloween craze would die down. Once kids hit about fourteen, they’ll be too cool for trick-or-treating. They have to be. Well…unfortunately, no. Here I am at sixteen, still being whined at by friends to go with them. This year my best friend tried to lure me in using guilt and pity. After four years of friendship, you’d think she’d realize I’m a fairly heartless person. She eventually gave up and agreed to just help me pass out candy. During those four short hours, she had an epiphany. We found ourselves arguing over who would have to answer the door for kids over seven. Nobody cares about them. They’re no longer cute. They’re just brats that never say thank you and stare at you, expecting more candy. The little babies in pumpkin costumes are the only ones deserving of candy in my opinion.
Hopefully, I will find myself without any trick-or-treating invitations next year. :D

You can always tell when Fall has started. I don’t know how it happens, but the air takes on a completely different personality overnight. It smells different, feels cooler, and it’s just…awesome. A couple of weeks ago I let my dog outside and realized the time has finally come. If I wasn’t in my floody pajama bottoms, unmatching t-shirt, and my dad’s shoes, I totally would have ran out and hugged some leaves.
I suppose I love fall so much because of the memories that come with it. Half of my family members have their birthday in October (mine is in two days, in case you wanted to know ;D), and the holiday season is about to start. It’s hard not to go through those events every year without having some sort of memory, whether it be good or bad. Other than the fact that I usually become ill a day or two beforehand, my birthday is usually a pretty pleasant experience that I look forward to. It’s the only time balloons ever enter my house. There is no greater pleasure than the five minutes of entertainment a game of balloon volleyball provides.
I also have a few nerdy little feelings that come with fall. You see, fall is the start of video game season for me. An entire Saturday afternoon spent lying on the couch playing video games is my idea of a good time. Is it sad? Yes, very. But after many failed attempts to find something less lazy that makes me even more happy, I’ve given up. I feel no shame in answering the question “What did you do this weekend?” with “I played a Pokemon game made for Gameboy Color for six hours straight.”
Oh, and the overabundance of food containing apples or pumpkins is pretty sweet too.
Autumn FTW.
