Right about here, I said fuck, really loud.

I've been sitting on a tattoo idea for awhile. And today, on the anniversary of my aunts death. I got one!

 Right about here, I said fuck, really loud.

 All done but the cleaning.

All things put aside, that tattoo is simply amazing and I love it. And it commemorates my struggle through life, and one of the most important people in my life. My aunt.

A very successful endeavor.

Do you have a tattoo? What is it of?

I turned twenty.

So, yesterday, I turned twenty. Yep, twenty years old.

I had so much happen yester, and I would describe it as one of the best days of my life.

I first started by getting myself some things I wanted.

A Neil Gaiman book, a couple of shirts, and a bottle of my favourite spray from Bath and BodyWorks.

The began the gifts from my friends, all of which were surprises.

 The lovely Emma got me two books. One from an author I've never read, but apparently, should have, John Green. The other is from an author who I've been reading for a bit, Neil Gaiman. Amazing books.

 My friend Vanessa got me this huge tea set. From my favourite tea place. Teavana. One of the great gifts I have ever received in my life.

 I found this adorable cat shirt. From my friend Carissa. It is adorable and makes me look fabulous. Another great gift!

I was completely overwhelmed with what took place on my birthday, especially this outstanding gifts. I was touched incredibly based on each of our financial situation.

After all that, I went out to dinner with my boyfriend, Leonard.

I eat free on my birthday!

We picked a nice place the was cost affordable. I'm on a budget, no matter if it is my birthday or not.

I had a great time! And Leonard and I were excited to be celebrating my special day together.

We started with the grilled your own bread station. Mm!

I've discovered that sun-dried tomato sauce is my new favorite bread spread.

Our main courses came shortly after we finished our bread.

Oh, yes, and we added liquor.

Dessert, of course.

And, finally the night ended, we went home to a cozy warm house and slept peacefully.

What did you do for your birthday?

"Nathalliiiieee, ew, stappppppp"

October has hit. Midterm month! Things at university are starting to pick up. I literally have everything due this month. A final draft for a journalism story, four midterms, plus an academic paper. Feel the stress yet?

My academic paper hasn't even crossed my work desk. After a illness infested first year caused entirely by stress from school, I certainly know I am aiming for a better outcome this year.

This week started terribly. I got hit by a car...

Calm down! Obviously, if I am at computer writing a blog post, I am quite fine. I have a sore knee. That know requires me to wear a brace for the mean time.

Even though you suffer through pain and injury you must always be classy. (actually, I would prefer to dress in the most comfortable clothes like sweats and t-shirt, but this outfit was to cool to deny)

I also did some other things not so tragic this week. Like I re-colored my hair. 

The light is rather unflattering, but it's get super close to the shad of red I want. 

I also had a date night with my lovely boyfriend, Lenny. We, well he watched all of Finding Nemo, while I drooled all over his pillow. He denies it's weird, but I think deep down his brain goes, Nathallliiieeee, ew, stapppppp. 

Lets just say we didn't get to the third movie...but a good night none the less. 

What interesting things have you been doing during October? Are you feeling midterm month pressure?
