13 Nights of Blogoween Day 13: Couple Costumes and Sexy Lobsters Have Ruined Halloween

I wrote this blog last year on November First... I'm not bitter about being single or not wearing sexy costumes... Its just a commentary meant to be taken lightly. 

Alrighty so this isn't really a rant... its just kind of a theory that couples have decided to take every holiday and make it their own and then single people are here like "Okay, we get it. You're happy. Can you leave us alone now? KThanks." And now they've ruined halloween.

Maybe this is just me being old but still not grown up enough to be in a real relationship... but seriously go to a bar on Halloween. There are like 10 Harley Quinns, 6 sexy lobsters, 3 Maleficents, one sexy minotaur and then the rest are all couples. If you find a character you're attracted to like Han Solo, you'll look around and find a Princess Leia right behind him!

And they're always RIGHT by them, you know why?  So they don't run off with a sexy lobster! Its a way to trick a guy into thinking that you're doing something cool, but really you're trying to ward off all the other girls from talking to him because that's right he's yours. You might as well take an iron and brand your name on his forehead!

But on the other hand, if you aren't doing a couples costume things can also go horribly wrong. Freshman year of college I was super hot and super skinny, which btw is totally a lie. I wasn't really that hot or skinny, but compared to me now... I was super hot and skinny. Wow that seems sad... I think my face and hair look better... but I was real cute back then. Anyway... back to the story.

So there was this guy that I was going to go to a party with and I was dressed all hot and he wore a scary mask... so we didn't match very well and yeah it looked awkward for me.

Also the guys that are single at bars are always dressed as something lame. Last year there was an Austin Powers... which would have been a cool costume if it was 1997... but it was far from that. So... yeah no. If you're dressed as Austin Powers or Borat... get updated on your comedy and dress as something better than that.

The one thing that the "grown up" halloweens have improved upon since college halloweens is there are less boner costumes. That really is the grossest thing in the entire world when there's a boner-themed costume. Ack. That's even worse than Austin Powers. If you think a guy with a boner costume is attractive, stop drinking. Just altogether, just give up drinking and get your life together. Unless its a dick in a box costume... that still makes me laugh.

And after saying all this if I ever do manage to be in a relationship on halloween, will I refuse a couple's costume... NO! Lol. I totally understand the necessity of them. I can't have my hypothetical man running away with a sexy lobster or something. I'm pretty sure I can't compete with that... although I'm sure that by dressing as a sexy lobster their trying to distract from the fact that they really have crabs. Lol.

Byeee! Have a fun and safe Halloween.

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
