So the veil is kinda thin!
Oct. 31st, 2007 07:08 pmI skipped out of Kung Fu today because this is my holiday and I have to be around to answer the door and be spooky. I'm a tradition for some of the local children and I always feel really badly when I'm not home, and I find out the next day that people were wondering where I was. They call it "that Halloween house," and I have to say I really out-did myself this year. Actually it is mostly because my Dad bought me a fog machine which also plays spooky music and has sound effects. It's really neat and the kids love it. They use the low-hanging trees and shrubs to hide behind and they scare the hell out of each other, it's great. Just before I heard two little girls going, "This is really scary. I think it's haunted for real!" One of them told me, "Your house looks so haunted. I was scared!" She was about seven, it was so cute, and I don't even really like the little brats. But I kind of like them all on Halloween. (ETA: One of the kids just told her sister, "Are these trees real? These trees make this house look evil!" OMG I love it. The trees, obviously, are around all year.)
It's a big house and I'm on the bottom floor, and sometimes the kids get lost going around and end up coming around the wrong way. They pass by the sunroom and they all come out gabbing about "That huge black bird in there!" It made me just a little sad, or nostalgic, because when I had Pendragon in there they'd all come around all freaked out and wondering if "that huge blue lizard!" was real. I'd tell them he was, and then I'd take him out of his cage and sit him across my shoulders. I couldn't really let them pet his head because he might've taken one of their little fingers for himself. He was a vegetarian, but he, uhh, cheated sometimes. ^_^ once in a while I miss him so much.
Also, today I'm really just feeling the whole Halloween thing, err, I mean the real Halloween, Samhain.
Also, Havok is acting all crazy today. He started cawing at around 8 AM and I was like, "SHUT UP! CAN YOU PIERCE THE VEIL AFTER TEN PLEASE! THANK YOU!" Then I went and spent some time with him and he was all getting in my face and giving me looks that can only be described as "mysterious." He also kept grabbing my necklace and trying to shove it in my mouth, so maybe that's not so mystical after all.
( There he is trying to shove the necklace in my mouth. )
( And I just thought this was a neat picture, a Goth and her crow. )
(I bought that skirt today at Target and it's kind of momentous because it's a size one, which puts me in a high state of WTF. These sizes run really big though. I think a lot of companies sell clothing bigger and make the size number smaller so more women will buy them. I am not a size one and I never will be.
( Here is a beautiful closeup of Havok: )
( Havok eating my books. )
That's a lot funnier if you look at the titles of those books.
( The yard at night, only without the fog. )
Very hard to photograph the fog in the dark! My camera tries to focus on it and everything else goes blurry.
( Oh,and here is my little display on my kitchen table. )
Okay, now the kids are starting to show up in their day clothes, and some don't even say "trick or treat." Umm, put a little effort into it or you're getting nothng but Dots from me. ^_~ Nah, I could never actually do that.
Welp, I'm gonna set down to watch Addams Family movies and then try to chat with this really, really, really ridiculously good-looking guy. Sounds like a well-rounded Halloween, yes?
ETA: You know, I just have to add something about that skirt. It's adorable. It's by that new designer, Alice somebody, she does a line for Target (that's my main clothing store!) and I'm pretty sure she designed that Libertine stuff that I liked a few months ago; it's similar. (Affordable goth.) Anyway, it's cotton lined, velvet outside with pockets on either side and big black buttons around the rims of the pockets. And it's teeny-wee, which I certainly don't mind. That ZZ Top song, "Legs"? One of my favorites. ;D
