Oh Where, oh where has Michelle gone?

I suck. Not a lot, mind you. Just a little. My school year has been relatively stress free (hear me knocking on the top of my desk), so I can't use that as an excuse as to why I haven't updated this for so long. It's not because I've become a professional actress (though I am taking voice lessons). It's definitely not because I'm going on dates (not going to dwell on it, though).
Laziness might end up being the overall culprit. That, and absent-mindedness, which if you've known me for more than an hour, you've already witnessed.
October was a grand month. I got to celebrate my birthday along with five other people (those were the other people celebrating their birthdays at our joint party, not the total number of guests), and my principal gave us permission to use the gym at my elementary school, so it was a blast. We played with the parachute, street hockey set, and wrestling mats (just to name a few).

It also was my favorite time of year. Not just because I was born, but because Halloween is the best in my book. I get a lot of odd looks when I say that most of the time, it beats out Christmas for me. I had the idea for my costume at the end of Halloween last year (and you might ask, do I know what I'm going to be next year. The answer is abso-freakin-lutely I do.). I dressed as Miss Piggy and my friend, Randa, at school dressed up as Beaker. The kids loved it, though there were a lot of students who didn't know who Miss Piggy is. That, I feel, is a tragedy in our times. Most years I have two costumes. This year was the same. On Halloween Eve, a few of us went to see "Dracula" in Springville. We decided to dress up like vampires from Twilight. I was Bella, and I will tell you it is difficult to dress as someone so detestable. I practiced speaking without expression and biting my lip for hours.
