秋分の日! (It's frikking Autumn, finally!)

The past September the 23rd, known in Japan as　秋分の日(shuubun no hi) and the U.S. as "the Vernal Equinox," signals the coming of the Fall months. The sky gets foggy, the leaves turn dazzling shades of Yellows and Reds, and people like me come out of their holes to go out and enjoy the lack of sunshine.



Really, I'm looking forward to wearing my hair down, pulling my probably-moth-infested scarves from the closet, and NOT having a constant sunburn. Where have you been, clouds?!? I missed you...

Anyway, one of the most amazing American holidays known to man comes around in the amazing month of October (along with my mom's B-day...I needs $$$ fast...). I won't be trick-or-treat-ing this year, as I AM 18. But I will dress up and go around one of the Local (less-than-50-miles-away) shopping centers in costume. Whether in Mad Hatter Lolita or Shinigami garb, I don't know. But I do look forward to walking past closet-anime-fans who will recognize me and pretend not to. Mwan.

Yeah, so no "Alice in Wonderland" themed Halloween Party this year, but maybe we'll freak some people out anyway...



DID I MENTION I LOVE AUTUMN???
