yes...i'm back. for a bit. i'm sort of falling off the wagon with this whole blog thing. i just read my mom's most recent post. it was hilarious. i don't know if i'm that funny on here. haha. granted, she basically makes her into a story. not me.

spent the weekend at home. that is to say mankato. i don't believe i've been there since july? but then again, that weekend i actually came home and then left on friday and returned on sunday. i know...strange. anywho, so mankato for the weekend was sort of a surreal experience. every time i go home, i have fun. but for some reason this time was sort of like reliving 2005. minus the crazy boyfriend. lol.

it just felt...good. hanging out with alex and megan felt right. normal. natural. i don't know how many words i'm going to put to it people. it was so easy. which is weird, because for a while there when i went home, i found it so hard to hang out with my friends from high school. like pulling teeth. we didn't know what to talk about. there was too much of a gap between seeing each other. too much had happened. and it wasn't like that at all this time. like we did a time warp. and it was awesome. i didn't realize how much i had missed seeing megan until she was right there in front of me going off about some crazy boy, and school, and how this person is being dumb, and so on in her megan fashion.

i hadn't seen alex since before july. probably more like june. or may? we always sort of pick up where we left off. no worries there. overall, it was just an awesome/strange experience. it was a flip flop from previous college weekend at home experiences. no anxiety. no trying to find someone to hang out with. just easy.

and i saw two movies...the invention of lying, which was surprisingly heartwarming. i mean, Ricky Gervais was almost crying at serious moments. it was heartbreaking. plus Adventureland. the lead guy was great. funny. no idea who he is. set in the 80s that was a bit hysterical in and of itself...plus Ryan Reynolds was in it. so two thumbs up.

in the running for Hayley's favorite fall cd purchase: 3OH!3, Paramore's Brand New Eyes, or The Kings of Leon (which i didn't like at first. go figure)

Your Turn: What's your favorite fall CD? And...does anyone know what's going on with Daylight Savings time? I think that's coming up...right?
