Teal Pumpkin Project

I was going to wait and post this for Halloween but figured I'd post it now for those who may want to participate.  For those of you who haven't heard of it, it's not too late for you to participate in the teal pumpkin project for kids with allergies.  Instead of or along with regular candy you offer non-food treats such as bouncy balls, bubbles, stickers, pencils, glow sticks, etc.  We're giving out candy and toys.  I was going to post a picture of my pumpkins and toy bucket but the pumpkin still needs another coat of paint so I think I'll add the photo later.


Our Pumpkins.  Mine's the castle one.  I may post another photo of them tonight lit up.
Some of the non-food treats I bought.  Includes: coloring books, Gatorade band, bubbles, jump rope, tops, hot wheels, necklaces, Disney wands, silly bandz and Halloween erasers, yo-yo's, putty eggs, boats, hacky-sacks, pencils and glow sticks.

Guy Clothes

This was not the post I had planned to write but well I was doing laundry and the clothes were on my bed and then I figured I'd post about it and here we are.

Since I realized I'm trans* I've been slowly accumulating a collection of 'guy clothes.'  I don't have a whole lot, but I have a semi-functional wardrobe.  I started off owning a single pair of sneakers and now I have 2 weeks worth of undergarments, 2 pairs of shorts, 2 jumpers, 2 dress shirts, a hoodie, a pair of pajama pants, 8 t-shirts, a pair of pants, a winter jacket, boots and, a binder.  It's quite the collection I've got.  My next purchase will be a pair of jeans, I'd have got some already if they weren't so expensive.  I never really noticed until now (but I've never laid out my clothes like this before either) that I don't really have any bright coloured clothing.  I seem to favour dark and neutral coloured clothing,  The brightest thing I have is my green triforce shirt.  I'll have to invest in some more colouful clothes.

You can see my Baymax plushie at the top, he's so soft and cuddly.  Big Hero 6 is awesome, but not as awesome as Wreck-it Ralph.  I wish they had Wreck-it Ralph plushies.  You can also see that I like Harry Potter and Sweeney Todd.  Care to guess why?  It is of course: Alan Rickman!  He's more awesome than Big Hero 6 and Wreck-it Ralph combined.  Though I suppose Harry Potter is awesome even without Alan Rickman.
