Dear you,
With Halloween all over (yes I'm writing this the day after Halloween pssshh no what are you talking about?) the most exciting time/holiday of the year upon us, this is when I get really really excited about just about everything.. From the tree (though sadly I'm not having one this year) to the candy canes, endless amounts of chocolate and of course the presents.
What excites me most about presents is actually buying them for other people I love love LOVE it honestly.
As a self-proclaimed queen of gift buying and gift wrapping, I get incredibly excited about the whole month (okay almost two months) leading up to Christmas Day! It's currently the first of November as I'm writing this (though this won't be going up until the third) and I've got a word doc running of what I'm buying everyone, this year I'm actually only buying 3 presents one for a Secret Santa I'm having with friends at school, one for one of my friends who used to go to the same school as me, sadly she can't take part in the secret santa I'm having at school because that would complicate a lot, but I thought it'd be nice for us to exchange gifts anyway and then due to the fact that my parents and I are leaving Australia to go visit friends and family in England (my brothers will already be there) on Christmas Day we thought it'd be nice to just buy a stocking worth of stuff for one person (I'm buying for my mum, mum's buying for dad, dad's buying for me). So anyway, I've already thought about what I'm getting my friend outside of school and my mum, and I would've thought about what to buy for the Secret Santa but we have to redo it on Monday due to some people joining last minute (ugh!).
I think you can probably tell that I'm an overly organised person (when it comes to Christmas/gift buying at least)
From me.

A letter from the girl who loves to escape reality
Dear you,
It's that time of year again, when everyone goes all out on the scary (or not-so-scary) costumes and
either go trick-or-treating or go to Halloween parties (or if you're like me, you'll rope someone in to watch a Halloween-esque movie, this year's for me is The Nightmare Before Christmas!)
As a little girl, I used to love Halloween,
I'd go out trick-or-treating with some friends and now I'm older I've realised that the reason why I loved Halloween, was because I could pretend to be someone I'm not, I got to escape reality even if it was only for a couple of hours.
Now I'm older, I don't take part in all the Halloween festivities at all, I grew out of it I guess.
I think I realised that I didn't have to just escape reality for a few hours one day out of the year, but I could do it all year round, every single day, it doesn't really matter where I am, a book, or a bookshop aren't going to be far away!
I escape reality into the universes and lives of the people in the books I read, not into whatever costume I may decide to wear that year.
And trust me, it's a whole lot better to escape into books rather than into a character.
From me, the girl who hasn't decided where she stands with the whole 'Halloween' holiday thing.

Starting Fresh
So how the story goes is...
I had an old blog, I slowly got bored of it and then it sort of just fizzled out a few weeks ago..
So here I am! I had a bright idea for a blog today, writing posts in letter form, I'm really into the whole poetry/prose kinda thing but I don't think I could write all my posts in that format so here I am writing it in letter format!
It's just gonna be bits and bobs about my life and my thoughts mainly, my old blog was really not what I was about by the end of it!
So sit back, relax and hope that this doesn't fizzle out too!
