Ok, so it's only August, but two highly anticipated events (at least in my household) are just around the corner and I will be ready ... what am I talking about? Halloween and the December 18th release of  Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens , of course! I'm already planning on attending our neighborhood party and trick-or-treating festivities dressed up as Boba Fett. Or maybe Darth Vader ... Or maybe a Stormtrooper .... or maybe -- well, whatever. I'll eventually make up my mind. The  point  is, I'm already starting to plan. And not just for Halloween, mind you. Oh no. I plan on attending the movie in whatever costume I eventually decide on.

It's not only timeless, it's also  timely  with the new movie releasing just a month and a half after Halloween...

The most important thing I learned from this move is that I didn't need 60% of the stuff that I owned.  Very little of it outside of the books and the craft supplies made me happy or had any real value in my life and the only thing that I have been super eager to unpack is the stuff needed to work on my Fan Expo Cosplays.  Oh and my stationary because my pen pa...
