...to make a silly for-no-reason post.
Because I'm bored.
I should be studying for my Spanish 10 test, but I'm procrastinating. I'm also sitting in a sea of boxes because I still have not unpacked!!! After more than a month! I'm definitely procrastinating.

So anyway. I'm going to tell you a weird baby name story.
So, my cousin is a kindergarten teacher in BC where I used to live (*tear*), and I went to hang out with her and the class one day last year, and I met these aaaaadorable boygirl twins who were, you know, four or five. And their names were, get this...
October and November!!
And apparently my cousin had asked the same thing I was thinking (whaaaaattheheck) to the mom about the names. And the mom said that the kids were born AT MIDNIGHT on Halloween. But the boy was born a little bit before and the girl was born a little bit after.
So, if you didn't get that (because I am so obviously incapable of coherent explanations), the boy was born sometime before midnight (on October 31st still) and the girl was born a little bit after (on November 1st).
I thought that was sooooo funny! It's actually a really cute concept, but the poor kids!
Apparantly my cousin nicknamed them Toby and Nova, and the mom actually got mad! She said she didn't want them to have nicknames, and if she wanted them to be called that, she would have named them Toby and Nova instead.
Whoaaaa!

Okay, I'm done. Is anyone else bored to tears?

aww that's so cute!!

and LUCKY about the Halloween thing. I don't have that type of luck! (Halloween is my biggest holiday, so I'm SO jealous!)

I assume boy is October and girl is November? according to their birth month.

Oh my word!!! Nova I think is super cute!!! Hehe! That is nuts about them technically having different berfdays!! Lol!

I am no terribly bored...I just finished watching "The Moment of Truth" and it is creepy!!! Now I am watching "Cashmere Mafia" I *heart* that show!
I am about to tears because of my freaking stupid ears...I hate them...They are making me oh so angry!

OH!!! So, my very very good friend, Cortney was due with a boy on the 15th and she is supposed to be getting induced at 4am, but they have already admitted her due to spotting. She is still not very dilated though Sad She should be having a boy called Talyn Curtis very soon hopefully!!! I am going to visit on Sunday!! I can't wait!! Isn't that exciting...? Kinda? hehe!

I'm excited for her!! I love when babies are born. A couple of my friends have them. I probably never will, I don't really know a ton about kids, but I do love em, they're really sweet. And I'm a good babysitter, so who knows? Maybe one day I'll decide to babysit full time. Forever. Lol.

I kinda like the name Nova! And Toby and Nova suited them perfectly. Yep, the boy is October, the girl is November.
