Quote of The Moment
"It's okay, we can work with this!"
- Deckard Wizard (Bee and Puppycat)
Well... It's that time of the year again. It's time for monsters and ghouls to come out, kids to knock on doors and ask for candy, and to avoid all those horror specials on TV.
Halloween.
Wait, what?
IT'S ALMOST HALLOWEEN??
Time does fly by quickly, doesn't it? (@_@) A few days ago I was just cramming for the second quarter end requirements for school. Which really was just a couple of days ago. Haha *awkward*
Now, about Halloween. It's not that I hate the event or anything. I'm actually cool with it.
But please. No horror movie marathons ｡･ﾟﾟ･(>д<)･ﾟﾟ･｡
As you can see, I get scared really easily, so I can't stand horror movies. Gore is fine though.
I actually like gore (*≧▽≦) Strange, isn't it (^_^;)
What's stranger is that I love scaring people, but I dislike being scared myself. But then, who isn't like that?ヽ(^o^ヽ)
Anyhow, I shall talk about my thoughts about this occasion, because I really can't wait for a later time to publish this (> u >). The second post about The Count of Monte Cristo can wait >__<
SO.
Yeah. The only reason that I really dislike Halloween because of the horror specials on TV! It will make me look like a coward, but I'll say it-- I am eaaaasily creeped out by those things. I dislike any talk about paranormal activities, ghouls (Except creepypastas. I love creepypastas.), contact with spirits, haunted things, sadako (the only acceptable sadako is this anime character >_>), and every other scary thing out there. Ugh. Especially Chucky. He's... an ugly doll >_<
His overalls, though (^∇^) Cute (^～^)
Hmmm.... Actually that's it. That's the only thing I dislike about Halloween (aside from it being a pagan holiday, but then again. As long as you don't use Ouija boards and stuff, I guess it's fine ︶▽︶ ). I just dislike horror. LOL.
Anyways, what's good about Halloween issss...... CAAANDY (//●⁰౪⁰●)//
I've never been trick-or-treating before in my life, though xD I've always relied on our small candy stash at home for my sweet fix (｡´∀｀)ﾉ
Also, every Halloween, I have an excuse to get cozy and listen to jazz, to catch up with my reading, and have a nice cup of peppermint tea on my table.
Ah~~ <3
So yep. Also, it's a good chance to spend some quality time with the family. Maybe... to watch some movies at home (no horror, please ╥﹏╥ ), or bake treats together?
Yeah. I wanna do that.(๑✧◡✧๑)
Anyways, for my next couple of posts, I'll be writing a very short list of different ways to spend your Halloween, if you're staying home like me (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ I'll probably make two versions of it. You'll see what I mean once we get there~ (> u <)
And... yeah! That's it for now, mates. What are your thoughts on Halloween? Do you love it, or are you okay with it, or maybe a teeny tiny bit scared like me? (^_^;) Feel free to leave a comment below~
Ciao, mia amicos! See you~ ( ^-^)/

The Blogmistress
A brief introduction of Her Royal Weirdness
Hello everyone, I go by Cossette— welcome to my blog! I'm a nineteen-year-old Chinese-Filipino law student studying abroad in Australia. I like to obsess over musicals, edgy memes, and general geekery. I spend most of my time sorting through syllabi for my classes, baking cookies, or lurking on Reddit. Since I'm on break from university however, I have also began binge watching lots and lots of shows on Netflix (what's a girl to do, after all?)
I am also that girl who is too emotional for my own good, and has a sad penchant for laughing (at myself, usually). Alas, perhaps my own peculiarity has scared off potential friends, but who cares? Someday, I will find my kin, my madcap ilk. But until then, I'll be sticking around here ┐(︶▽︶)┌
L O V E S: Books My friends Homestuck
D I S L I K E S: Flying monstrosities (get those cockroaches away from me) Scary things The abysmal state of my internet connection
W I S H L I S T: To enjoy Christmas with my friends + family!
Faster internet pls Happiness for everyone More time to read books please
Here are some cool blogs by cool people! Also, link exchange is OPEN! Please feel free to comment on any blog posts to get in touch with me if you'd like to exchange links with each other :)
About The Blog
A description of my little corner of the blogosphere
This digital abode of mine was established back in August 2013 as a requirement for my participation in our high school's blogging club. Thus, I scrambled to create one, The Random Thoughts of A Socially-Awkward Optimist— the very website that you are currently viewing. I've long since quit (not to mention graduated from high school), but typing away my thoughts in this blog is rather therapeutic, and I like thinking that perhaps a smile has made its way onto someone's face because of what I write :)
“Sonder” is probably the best word that would describe all reasons why I maintain this blog. The word can be briefly defined as the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own, and through this blog, I wish to be able to satiate that feeling in other people by retelling my anecdotes, thoughts, and rants, and hopefully I would also be able to lift up spirits along the way.
Life moves on and change is constant. But I want to document my experiences somehow: those ugly-crying moments, existential crises, or tears of joy and sadness. Then once change runs its course, we can all look back at these moments and laugh at our own naiveté. And hopefully, I can do just that by typing it all away in this blog.
The Jukebox
Current aesthetic: quiet holiday mornings, the smell of Christmas in the air
A little disclaimer: I don't own nor make money off of any of these songs, it's all just for a little good fun and mood-setting lol
These are the music playing in the blog. I hope you like listening to it as much as I do ◕ ‿ ◕ Simply click on the title of the song, and it will direct you to where I got it ❤
Books
