halloween
In today’s times there are even those misguided souls wishing to get Halloween banned completely as they can’t understand the distinction between Halloween and its origins celebrations such as Samhain or All Souls Day. If we take away Halloween we will soon be left with very little, while the spiritual elements of Halloween are worth looking at those who cower under their beds during this time as what they believe to be evil, miss the point entirely.
While there are valid reasons NOT to celebrate the secular or spiritual side to Halloween there is no justification to assume your six year old constructing a witches hat is in fact “serving the devil”. So whatever your views or religion, remember what this time of the year means to the children and some of us adults who still love Halloween. Make it a celebration, dress up, play some games, trick or treat and share your fun with others.
From the whole team at www.costumefinder.co.uk this Halloween stay safe and stay happy.
Trick or Treating in Janesville was super sweet with fellow Mindsayers Foreverknight (Rebekah), paths4byzantium (Rachel), Iverness63 (Josh), and Silverfire85 (Nadine). We had a lot of fun. I could write a novel about it. Heck, I'm still hoarse from talking so damn much with everyone I need to go on a vow of silence just to get my voice back. I'm still pooped from our adventures. Look at Josh in the last photo. All arms folded over the chest like a slumbering vampire. Yeah. Need I say more?
Thank you all for sharing your home with me. *smiles with a tear* Miss you and love you, guys. Now... where is that teleporter so I can just show up whenever I want to without having to take a two hour drive to get to your place? *giggles*
Oh, yeah, and remember that dream-idea-vision thing I had about my friend Pat's charity raffle? If you want to make it a reality, go here! Or go HERE for more info! And Rebekah, those Mother Earth Oracle cards may have alerted us to "Fantasy Transforms Reality" and perhaps this relates to that since we both had it as a future card! But we have to look out for "Those Who Mock Kindliness must Change their minds" because I can see some folks not getting into it and thinking it's not right or real. (just a thought)

FUCKING PRICK...
For the majority of the day, I've not felt the best. I've been slightly lapsed for a while now - but Shelly did manage to cheer me up slightly. We played Canis Canem Edit together and Guitar Hero 5.
Shelly came at about 3 in the afternoon because she was spending the night after coming with us to Ian's Halloween party.
Mam had bought mini bags of Haribo Starmix for the brats who knock on the door and she said I couldn't have any - but I snaffled some when she wasn't looking. :P
Although the party was pretty good - I had a laugh with Christine, talked with Laura about film-making, talked with Mark about games - had a laugh with Lisa and her friend in the kitchen - drank a few bottles of iron brew WKD and cuddled up with Shelly on the sofa for a while - it was dad who had to go and ruin it.
And he didn't just ruin the party for me - he ruined the whole of tonight. He's SUCH a fucking ARSEHOLE.
He's starting to make me hate him again. A while back I disliked mam for being bitchy all the time, but she's settled down, she's just a knob when it suits her - but dad's a total fucking prick all the time.
And this is tripled, maybe even quadrupled when he's drunk.
He ALWAYS, without fail - will upset me when I'm drunk - but apparently he upset Christine as well - he upset Shelly by being a general arsehole, touching her up - and not just her, Lisa and Amy as well - and I know that mam wasn't best pleased with him either.
Not only this - but when we got home - Shelly and I were cuddled up on the floor and duvet pile together - some chavs had set fire to a car outside, so we had mam mooching about being generally nosey - all these fire engines and police cars going by at two in the morning with their lights and sirens going - then this inflamed car decided to start randomly EXPLODING. Shelly and I were just like SERIOUSLY WTF.
After this drama, we all settled down and tried to get back to what we were doing - dad decides to blunder about naked on the landing, throwing up all over the carpet and the suitcase by the ottoman. So he's being noisy, as well as flashing everything to Shelly who was unfortunate enough to catch a glimpse when she was going to the toilet.
And as a result of him throwing up everywhere - he kept mam awake as well as us - he was pissing about mopping everywhere up with toilet roll for about 45 minutes - then there was the racket of mam getting the mop bucket out.
It was like the first time in ages I was in a reasonable mood, I wasn't TOO depressed - thus rendering my sex drive reasonably okay - and he just had to go and turn me RIGHT off. Vomit is one of my phobias, for a start - but I couldn't feel at all comfortable knowing he was falling about like a twat on the landing outside the door and mam was dragged away to clean up after him.
I felt really sorry for her actually - I'm just glad she didn't have work on Sunday and dad did - ha, the twat, that'll fucking teach him.

Mam, myself, Shelly and dad - as Yoda. :S
Amy, Dan, Ian, Mark and Laura. :D
Christine and Roger. :D
My best friend and I on Halloween. I went as a lady bug (although I'm not much of a lady lol) and she as a devil <3
I believe I told you that I would do a Halloween followup post when I received pictures of all of my friends kids. Well, this is better.
You see, this year, I hardly got any Halloween pictures from my friends. My cousin Sara sent some, as did my friend Kelly, but each of them had a kid dress up as Elmo. And I just didn't think you'd want to see that many Elmo pics (cute as they were). So instead, I am gifting you with a rare treat.
My coworker Jan, and her partner Marie, dressed up in two of the greatest costumes ever. So, without their knowledge or consent, I am going to share the joy with you.
Here is Jan:
She is Tinky Winky of the Teletubbies (in case you couldn't tell).....AWESOME!
And here is Marie:
Dressed as her alter-ego....Po!
I really think these are two of the cutest costumes I have ever seen. When Jan sent me the pics, I just laughed and laughed. Kudos to them both for the fun costumes.
And okay, because I'll feel bad otherwise, here are the kid pics that I've gotten.
Hunter as Elmo. Hadley (his sister) was dressed as a flower, but it was colder in Alabama than in Minnesota so her flower hat came off and she was bundled up. (But note the Elmo treat bucket!)
Sophia (A Monkey!) in an actual shot of her trick-or-treating!
Victoria was another very cute Elmo! And her little brother Christian made a darling little Cookie Monster.
Why is it that none of the children look happy in these pictures? The adults are having fun, but the kids all look like they're enduring the event. Maybe you have to be an adult to appreciate this fine holiday.
Well, that's it! That is all the pics that I got from Halloween. While they're all pretty darn cute, I'm still voting Jan for best costume!
