Autumn Q/A&n

Autumn Q/A

 

I can't be the only one excited for autumn to arrive! The chill air, the smell of dying leaves, cANDLES, pumpkins, HALLOWEEN! And so much more, so I've put together a series of questions for you to answer. :3

1. What are you dressing up as for Trick-or-treating? If you don't celebrate Halloween or don't dress up, what do you do instead?

2. What's your favorite candle scent? 

3. Favorite colored leaf?

4. Do you have anything special that your family does every year?

5. Fall pictures, fun? Or a nightmare?

6. Anything exciting happening this year?

7. What are you carving your pumpkin as?

8. The movie Hocus Pocus, your thoughts?

9. Do you have a favorite fall outfit? If so, you can draw/take a picture of it and put it here. I'm sure everyone likes new outfit ideas.

10. Favorite fall memory? 

Enjoy!!!

Don't take a pic of yourself tho, for privacy reasons. maybe just lay the outfit out on your bed or the floor, if u want.

1. What are you dressing up as for Trick-or-treating? If you don't
celebrate Halloween or don't dress up, what do you do instead? Hmm, I celebrate Halloween, but I haven't dressed up these past few years. My family usually puts out a jack-o-lantern, though :)

2. What's your favorite candle scent? I haven't smelled many candles... but if there was a lemon-scented candle, that might be nice.

3. Favorite colored leaf?  I love yellow, but I guess my very favorite would be orange-scarlet.

4. Do you have anything special that your family does every year? In the fall, we've often gone to the nearby apple farm and pick apples. It's one of my favorite places ever. There are rolling hills and fields, and wildflowers, and you can see so much of the sky. And it's just really peaceful and happy there.

5. Fall pictures, fun? Or a nightmare? Fun!

6. Anything exciting happening this year? For this fall, I don't think so. Not that I know of...

7. What are you carving your pumpkin as? If my family does one this year, it'll probably be a smiley happy face :)

8. The movie Hocus Pocus, your thoughts? Never watched it... What's it about?

9. Do you have a favorite fall outfit? If so, you can draw/take a
picture of it and put it here. I'm sure everyone likes new outfit ideas.  I like wearing my reddish hoodie or my wine-colored sweater, with skinny jeans and boots. It's very me.

10. Favorite fall memory?  Oof, so many... maybe going to the apple farm that I mentioned earlier. Or just the general beauty and glowingness of autumn afternoons :)

Hocus Pocus is a movie about two michevious teens and a younger kid who summon the Sanderson Sisters, three hilarious witches, back from the dead. The group tries to return them back to where they came from with the help of a talking black cat and an undead zombie.

It's REALLY funny, it's not about evil witchcraft or any of that, It's just a funny halloween movie with  pretty good sequel. :)

1. What are you dressing up as for Trick-or-treating? If you don't celebrate Halloween or don't dress up, what do you do instead? not sure. my friend and I usually do a dual costume (always homemade), so two years ago we were a king and queen of chess, and last year I was a vacuum cleaner and he was a trash can :) we haven't decided this year yet though

2. What's your favorite candle scent? I don't really like scented candles in general

3. Favorite colored leaf? I don't appreciate individual leaves that much but a bunch of maple leaves in a pile would be cool

4. Do you have anything special that your family does every year? there's this cranberry apple squash dish my mom makes occasionally. I used to meet up with a lot of relatives but that hasn't happened since before covid.

5. Fall pictures, fun? Or a nightmare? idk

6. Anything exciting happening this year? going to Oklahoma in a few weeks for a rowing regatta, which is super cool except I've been rowing for like a month and have never been in a single and we're supposed to race a quad and singles so ack really hoping I don't flip lol

7. What are you carving your pumpkin as? a giraffe might be fun?

8. The movie Hocus Pocus, your thoughts? kind of meh, to be honest

9. Do you have a favorite fall outfit? If so, you can draw/take a picture of it and put it here. I'm sure everyone likes new outfit ideas. umm sweatshirt and shorts heh

1. What are you dressing up as for Trick-or-treating? If you don't celebrate Halloween or don't dress up, what do you do instead? 

i haven't decided yet! i'm thinking maybe the dread pirate roberts from the princess bride? but i'd be wearing the costume to school that day and i don't think we're allowed to wear masks like that? and we can't have fake weapons anyway, and you can't have the dread pirate roberts without a sword, so idk - i'm still deciding :D  

2. What's your favorite candle scent? 

i'm really not huge on candles, but my mom recently acquired a lavender white tea one that is tolerable :D

3. Favorite colored leaf?

i'm going to be indecisive and say ALL OF THEM

4. Do you have anything special that your family does every year?

we go camping with another family in mid-october, so that's always fun :D

5. Fall pictures, fun? Or a nightmare?

pictures of nature and stuff - fun! pictures of myself - a nightmare! 

6. Anything exciting happening this year?

my school always has a ton of stuff going on in autumn - there's a read-a-thon in late october where we stay overnight at the school and do escape rooms and spooky stories and stuff, and in early november there's this event celebrating the school's founders and there's skits and speeches and musical performances and a quiz show :D and there's national novel writing month, of course :D

7. What are you carving your pumpkin as?

good question! i have no idea, but the squirrels around my house will eat it regardless. 

8. The movie Hocus Pocus, your thoughts?

i haven't watched it either, oops 

9. Do you have a favorite fall outfit? If so, you can draw/take a picture of it and put it here. I'm sure everyone likes new outfit ideas.

probably this white and brown stripy sweater i got for ten bucks on the side of the street last summer, jeans, converse, and maybe like my owl clock necklace or something. 

10. Favorite fall memory? 

maybe not my favorite, but certainly up there - one time when i was maybe five or six(?) i stayed over to my grandparents' apartment complex a couple days before halloween, and there was an event where kids could pick a tree and decorate it with spiderwebs and tiny skeletons and all sorts of stuff. there was a huge storm that night, and the next morning, literally everything had blown away - well, everything, that is, except for this fake tarantula i had shoved deep into my tiny pine tree, and i was unreasonably smug about it. the people who'd organized the event let me keep it and went to go comfort the sad kids, and i still have it to this day! i like to scare my relatives with it :D
