Halloween

In honor of the biggest holiday in Chapel Hill, I'm writing in orange. :)

So far today, I've seen an astronaut, Jessie from Toy Story, a Rapper carrying a boom box (real original), and someone with purple hair (that might be normal though). I'm extremely sorry to say that I will not be joining the 70,000 people who flood Franklin Street. I know that I probably should go, but I do not have the money or the time to really put together a good costume. Beyond that though, I hate being in crowds. I become very VERY anxious and nervous. Although I was amongst the crowd on Franklin Street for the National Championship, I was also groped and moved down the street without my feet touching the ground at times. It's a little more than I can handle. Some of my friends are having parties and I might go, but it's doubtful.

So, my hat's off to all of you venturing into the drunken crowds of slutty bumble bees, slutty lady bugs, slutty nurses, and John Edwards look alike politicians. Be careful what you do, because they are sure to show up on facebook.

Song for the day: "She's an Eagle When She Flies"- Dolly Parton

Shes been there, God knows, shes been there
She has seen and done it all
Shes a woman, she know how to
Dish it out or take it all
Her hearts as soft as feathers
Still she weathers stormy skies
And shes a sparrow when shes broken
But shes an eagle when she flies
A kaleidoscope of colors
You can toss her around and round
You can keep her in you vision
But youll never keep her down
Shes a lover, shes a mother
Shes a friend and shes a wife
And shes a sparrow when shes broken
But shes an eagle when she flies

Gentle as the sweet magnolia
Strong as steel, her faith and pride
Shes an everlasting shoulder
Shes the leaning post of life
She hurts deep and when she weeps
Shes just as fragile as a child
And shes a sparrow when shes broken
But shes an eagle when she flies
