I got to go all out for Summerween this year. Lately Ive been getting into cooking in general so I got inspired to make things this time. I even made a jack-o-melon to display! Yes I am eating the watermelon innards, they are delicious btw. Besides that I made what was called the Necromancer's Brew which I felt was fitting and it was really good too. For dinner, me and my Dad (who joined me in this wonderful holiday) made burgers and had a caprese salad. I made the cheese in a way to look spooky-looking in honor of Summerween of course. Afterwards we watched the Summerween episode of Gravity Falls, followed by the movie I Know What You Did Last Summer (a very fitting horror movie might I add).

The day is now over but it was a blast. Im grateful I got to spend it with my Dad as well, especially because we both tend to be busy so it makes it a little more special. Moreso since my Mom and younger brother are out of town, so the one-on-one time was nice.

Resigned to a life without…

Even though everyone is desperate to win–to seize their dream futures or escape their haunting pasts–Mack feels sure that she can beat her competitors. All she has to do is hide, and she’s an expert at that. It’s the reason she’s alive, and her…
