^{Does anyone know if you can display scraps on my front page like 'newest' or 'featured'? I know that you can 'highlight a specific part of your gallery', but I can only chose from the folders in my gallery. Any help is appreciated. <3}

^{On the 11th and 12th, Ren, Shannon, Sarah, and I went back to Tampa to look at houses and we're really settled on an adorable house with a great landlord and a loft for Ren and I to do artwork. Ren and I are sure now that we're moving in next summer now and I couldn't be more exited. <3 While we live there, Ren and I are going to get our general education courses out of the way so we can take advantage of our Florida scholarships and save some money. Then, to SCAD we go~ I'm really exited! CB Things seem to be working out better than ever.

The thirteenth was Ren's dad's birthday. We enjoyed spending time with him and had an amazing Japanese dinner (vegetable tempura oh baby). We also delivered some videos and a game we're trading via Swaptree. It's a site used to trade used DVDs, books, music, and video games. It's a fantastic was to save money and reduce your carbon footprint. <3

Today was a great day. I woke up early (I want to do it more often) and after Ren got home from school, went to a bass lesson with her. We had lunch at the Dandelion. C:

By the way, thanks for all the feedback of my recent deviations! It means a lot. <3

Houses and rooms

^{Hallo! Well, as I mentioned in my last journal, I went to Tampa to look at houses with Shannon and Sarah last Wednesday. We checked out like four different houses and we definitely liked the first one we saw the most. The owner is English. 8D We're going to Tampa again this Wednesday to check out some more houses.

This past Saturday, there was a community garage sale in Ren's neighborhood and we hung out all day, helping out. A lot of everyone's stuff sold and everyone was pretty happy with the outcome. <3

I've been moving my room around again. Since I got home from visiting England this summer, my parents have let me have one of our spare rooms (we have two since my brothers moved out) to use as an office/art room. Back in August, I took some photos of my room before I moved things around.. and I thought I'd show you guys my room. Click to see them bigger...}

^{Happy Halloween, every body! I had a great one. <3

On Tuesday of last week, I saw my friend, James. We haven't hung out for a while, so it was great to talk to him and have some bonding time. We made a delicious cake together. c:

That night I bought Pokemon Snap off the Wii online channel and it's been so fun! (Despite the fact that I beat it completely within 2 hours. XD)

My parents gave me a lot of hell on Wednesday and Thursday.. but on Thursday night, Ren payed me a surprise visit (God I love you so much) and didn't have school the next day, so she hung around as I finished our Halloween costumes. It was really nice. <3

On Saturday, we stopped by Ren's mum's house to drop off the costume I made for Ren's little sister and headed over to her dad's house to put finishing touches on the costumes while we watched Lady and The Tramp.

We then headed over to Shannon (~Cosmic-Castaway)'s house. We helped her set up for the party and then headed out to go trick-or-treating (sowhatifI'm19). We went to the same neighborhood as last year, it's really rich and gives out cotton candy and shows movies on the sides of houses (one was playing Wayne's World). :U
When we got back, we met up with my brother (~Ethrin) and another friend to go to the special Rocky Horror Picture show. Sarah met us there too. <3 I've never been on Halloween before, it was fantastic!
We went back to have the party afterward and enjoyed ourselves. XD We bobbed for apples (I've never done it before), ate sweets, and had a fantastic rave. Needless to say, we were really exhausted by the end of the night.

On Sunday (before anyone else was awake), Ren and I went to the Dandelion and had a great brunch. Sweet sunshine daydreams is officially my favourite tea ever. <3 We went back home to Shannon's and hung out with her for the rest of the day. We went to a reptile superstore.. and we want a snake now (ideally a Ball Python), but I have to find an alternative to feeding it live mice because I can't do it. D': We will most likely end up using frozen ones (if we get the snake, that is), does anyone know any other alternatives?
We also saw hairless rats there and they are freaking ADORABLE!
In the evening, we met up with Ren's mum to see Paranormal Activity. It was fairly interesting, but it really disappointed me! It was nice to go out and see a movie, but I want to see a good one again. XD

On monday Ren, Shannon, and I went to a couple stores and bought some Halloween items on clearance, among other things. Ren and I went back to her house that evening and I went home this afternoon.. and my parents are giving me hell again. >:

Anyways, tomorrow I'm going to Tampa with Shannon and Sarah for a couple of days. Shannon has to take a test and we'll all be looking for houses for her and Sarah to move into. Ren and I might be moving in with them next summer. c:

This was a long one! I really needed to catch up. Thank you so much for reading!
