I'm pretty sure I've said this before, but September always fills me with an incredible, joyful nostalgia and excitement - like going back to school with a new bag, new pencil case, new coat and new haircut but without the anxiety of starting new classes and wondering whether you'll get the teachers you like or still have friends.
The next few months have always been my favourites. Autumn, Hallowe'en, frost, snow, storms, Yule, hearty soups, hot drinks, warm coats and scarves. I LOVE IT. This September has started pretty well so far. Weather-wise, we had one day of glorious autumnal sunshine and then plenty of gusty winds to refresh us. The air smells right, leafy with just a hint of decay, bonfires and sea spray.
I've discovered Echo Bazaar! and the glory that is Fallen London. Go look! Play!
Thanks to a friend, I've also discovered that I can create a Wishlist on Amazon which isn't restricted to their products alone. Mine is HERE under the title "The Sin of Covetousness". It's acting as massive motivation to get earning again!
ABANDONED continues to be awesome, despite some serious competition in the form of DEVIANT returning to Brighton at a new venue. The next few weeks are going to be interesting as we see the students return and Freshers Week happen...I've also revelled in rediscovering bands I'd almost forgotten about and getting back into loving music again :)

I think I dislike the tail end of the year for more or less the reasons you like it. Still, it takes all sorts...
Glad to hear your club night is still going well.
Yorkie, that's a shame. But like you say, it does take all sorts. I've loved Autumn since I was little!
Yeah, Abandoned is still going strong, hurrah!
I am so fucking happy it's autumn here. No more crazy weather in the 40s! And yes to the new stationery feeling. I have the urge to BUY PENS. And maybe a bag. And shoes. XD
