My sister Amy texted me this Michael Myers picture today and I was like, “FUCK YEAH OCTOBER.” I’ve been in the best mood all day! (Henry is like, “FALSE.”) Look, I know I’m not alone in this October love-fest. We all have that basic white girl in us that comes out extra strong in October so let’s just embrace that shit and sprinkle ourselves with pumpkin pie spice. It’s OK–I put some in my cream of wheat today and I am not even the slightest bit ashamed.
You can have the Starbucks PSLs though, and if we’re being honest, just typing out those letters made me feel like a sleazy contributor to the cause. I like eating actual pumpkins, but if we’re talking flavoring, I gotta take my best girl Maple to homecoming.
Here are more obvious October thangs I fan-girl for:
1. THIS SONG:
It’s been my October anthem since 2004. I highly encourage you to listen to it!
2. MY NEW DESK SUCCULENT, BOZ SCAGGS:
Those tombstones are always up on my desk. I have officially decided to not do a Halloween desk theme this year because I have some other things I need to focus on, but who needs to decorate anyway when YOUR SOUL IS ALREADY DECORATED WITH BATS AND CANDY CORN?!
3. TAKING ROMANTIC FALL FOLIAGE STROLLS WITH MY #MCM, HENRY.
Lol, Just kidding.
4. ALL OF THE HORROR MOVIES + WRITING IN MY HAUNTED HOUSE JOURNAL!
Even though I was savagely mocked for it at work yesterday!
SORRY I’M LAME, GUYS.
Horror movies are pretty much the only movies I watch, ever, but they just feel so much better in October. WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE HORROR MOVIES?!
5. THINKING OF AUTUMNAL PHOTO SHOOTS!
Below are my favorite ones ever that Blake graciously modeled for back in 2009. Those were the days.

I love this time of year so much! And I’m not ashamed to admit that I am a pumpkin spice where. I will buy anything with that shiz in it. I’ve been basking in the glow of my orange lights for a week now and it makes me happy.
I heard there are pumpkin spice TWINKIES now?! I might need to sample those ;)
Twinkles? Holy crap! I need to find those!
Those pumpkin head pictures though!!
Haha! I had a lot of fun with those!
I’m not a huge coffee person anyway, but figured I’d give the PSL a shot… it’s fucking terrible. Whoever says they like that is full of shit. I do enjoy me some pumpkin baked goods, though.
Those pictures are creepy.
Starbucks in general is way overrated but their PSLs are the worst ever. I don’t get the hype. I like pumpkin baked goods too but I get more crazy for savory pumpkin things. Henry makes delightful pumpkin soup.
And thanks—I will take those as a compliment.
#MCM! *Tolhurst so bad*
I need an #MCM. Find me one, please!
