Kind of Long Post

Sorry I didn't post last week. I'm not sure if the fact that hardly anyone posted makes me feel better or worse about not posting. Maybe it's both.

Tomorrow is Hallowe'en, and I'm really excited. I'm going to be answering the door dressed as the Joker. Or, I guess, a witch if I get lazy, which I probably will. Maybe Abigail from the Crucible. Sorry, that was a terrible joke. Don't mind me. The Joker would be awesome, but the costume would require a lot of effort, and clowns are freaky. It is also Lily and James Potter's death anniversary tomorrow. And that of Nearly Headless Nick. That is sad.

Kate, I was never big on toys as a kid, but my favourite, favourite, has to be a stuffed elephant I have. It's super soft and super cuddly, and it sits right on top of my battered copy of Peter Pan on my bookshelf. I have had both of those for years and they both mean a lot to me, despite the fact Peter Pan has to be one of the most disturbing books ever. This is coming from a girl who curls up with a Stephen King novel and a mug of hot chocolate on a regular basis.

Kayla, every year I tell myself I'm going to do NaNo and every year, I back out. I'd love to try someday, but it always seems like work gets in the way. I'm a sophomore in high school, so work probably shouldn't be an excuse, but it is.

Sorry, Deidra. We're not all dead! I'm a hypocrite. I get kind of concerned when any of you misses a post, but I miss them all the time. I guess that's not exactly hypocrisy, but it's kind of ironic. I don't know what I'm saying any more. Also, I am sorry about your fish.

Adam, it's funny you say that you're going as Eleven, because a friend of mine dressed up as Ten for a spirit event at school a while ago. He even had a Sonic Screwdriver. I ended up hooking my iPod up to a speaker and playing Doctor Who music whenever he walked down the hall. I think he tried to be annoyed, but it didn't work very well.

This week I have emulated Katie in a way greater than usual - I'm using multiple colours, obviously. I like it. It looks pretty. And less ostentatious than a couple of weeks ago, when I tried the same thing. I think that time I just used colours that were too harsh.

I should get going. Enjoy your weeks and never forget to be awesome.
