Thankfulification, Or Simply Thankful

Halloween is over and it was great! Dressing up as Medusa was fabulous, but getting the costume together was stressful and somewhat last minute. For the last three years I have had an idea of who I want to dress up as but I never make the costume early enough, this next year I am making it in the summer so that I will actually be it. Anyway here are some peeks at my costume this year. The party I went to with a cavewoman and the PaperBagPrincess

My Other Roommates(aka Neighbors) and their friends. They all went to the Howl.

My lovely "Doll" of a Roommate. Funny story behind her costume :)

Us three grils again.

That was my Halloween! Hope your's was great as well. Since Halloween is over my Halloweenification processes are over as well (If you hadn't noticed I kept that going for a long time. ;) ) It is now November, time for cleaning up the cobwebs and spiders and making houses lovely for families to gather.

I'm starting a new thing now. Thankfulnification. No I won't be stealing facebook photos to make people look thankful(because I don't think it works that way) but I will be thankful this month. Everyday there is more than thousands of hundreds of things that I could be thankful for and decide to blog about, however, I will probably only have one or two each day because I will actually have the time to do that.

Here's the beginning of Thankfulnification

Day One: Harry Potter

Not what most people would be thankful for on their first day of Thankfulnification huh? Well it is what it is. Who knows how many obscure and random things I will be grateful for through each day.

If you haven't noticed I LOVE Harry Potter. Ever since I read the books in third grade. My best friends became even closer as I read the books and I've had sooooo many good times as a result.

Not to mention this guy was at a party I went to on Halloween. I wasn't creeped out at first because he had a snake wrapped around his wrist! I thought he was so cool. But then old Voldy started to grow on me and I didn't really like his costume so much anymore. I didn't ever really think that Voldemort was that scary of a villain, at least in the movies. But when you have someone dress up like Voldemort and be in the same room it starts to get creepy. Even Medusa couldn't handle it.

Frighteningly Exciting?

Some people wanted to know the story of my dementor pictures that I put up on facebook, but it's not very exciting to write a story on there. So I decided to wait until I could put them up in my blog around halloween( Or maybe it was procrastination shhhh). So here is the story behind these pictures. P.S. I really don't know how light or how dark these pictures are due to editing them on my laptop)

So the day that we did this. My roommate I were getting to know each other by the things that we liked. If you know any HP fans or you are one yourself you know how excited we got when we heard that we both liked Harry Potter stuff. This set up a whole discussion about quidditch to the point that we "liked" a quidditch Facebook page so that we could attend a game somewhere in Utah.

After a while we decided to go on a walk and explore places on campus and my roommate completely jokingly said we could even act like Harry Potter. I don't go that far into the frenzy.

But obviouslyy I proved that wrong. Old Main Hill was beautiful as we walked through the trees and took pictures of the temple. We discovered the amphitheater and walked down it's steps. It was getting dark at this point and we just kept going. We found some stairs in a garden type area, which I thought were super cool to walk down, but then we stepped around the corner and stopped at what was in front of us..... A tunnel under the road

"It's just like Harry Potter."

We got excited and super giddy and tried to take pictures but people kept walking down the stairs looking at us like we were idiots. Finally we got them. I immediately went to work on them after we got to our apartment.

Long story short, the dementor on the right in both pictures are dementor toy figurines, just so you know.


I thought I would add in this thought as well. If I truly did run across a dementor(or two or three) would I be too scared and in despair to do anything or would I be way too excited that the Harry Potter world existed for it to even have an effect on me?
