November The Weird With Many Beards

The month of November is a strange one. It could just be from my perspective, but it's pretty darn weird.

Personally, this will be a month of much writing. The NanoWrimo began November 1st. It is an organization where an individual will write a novel of atleast 50,000 words in 30 days and 30 nights. This will be my first time trying to win. To win, one must just complete the thing, there isn't an actual prize of the best books picked out or anything. So far I haven't been doing so hot. I've got a little less than 4,000 words and I should be going at a pace of 1,667 a day. But maybe I will have a comeback.

I also just so happen to have two major research papers due this month, as well as other smaller papers for classes, and an occasional article I will write for my school newspaper. Like I said, just a lot of writing this month for me. I do not mean this to complain, more like a venting sort of thing.

The other strange thing about the start of November is "No shave November" which is where men will let their beards grow out for the whole month with a shaggy, manly look for men's cancer awareness. Already I can begin to see who will be participating in this event.

November also holds the day of my birth. Here's the thing about my birthday though...generally people will be slightly excited for their birthdays. Me on the other hand, I get anxious and dread the day. Weird, random, usually not-so-great stuff happens on my birthday. Like I said, weird November.

Koto's birthday is in November too, but this I am actually looking forward to. I have some pretty big plans for him, and fingers crossed, they will all work out smoothly and he will be happy.

I will be going home to visit my family in the south for Thanksgiving at the end of the month. This is a little different too, seeing as last year I didn't get to go down. But that's not the only difference...Koto will be coming with me. Yep...Koto is going to meet the Doodle family. I'm not sure why I thought it was such a great idea but I guess its better sooner than later? He's going to have to see how crazy they all are at some point. Luckily he's a good spirit and will excuse their odd ways.

November is just weird to me. And full of beards.

Until Next Time,
