For what it's worth, I HATE Halloween.

That's mostly for DD, as we seem to stand alone in this.

I really HATE it - completely - in every way shape or form.

You okay, Q? I worry. What happened?

Check the 'No on Prop 8' thread.

But, the fact is, I've ALWAYS hated this 'holiday'.

I've been steering clear of it, didn't think any good would come of it. I'll go peek in.

*hugs*

EDIT: Would you like some scotch?

Honey, the bourbon is flowing.

It's a good thing I'm a pacifist - and don't own a gun.

Right now, my problem is that the TinMan is off on his own for an event - in Orange County, of all places. I just want him to get home safely, lock all the doors, and look toward a brighter tomorrow.

Ironically, my day started out at dawn with a BRILLIANT full-arc rainbow - the likes of which I haven't seen in years. I took it as a sign.

Obviously, the sign pointed toward a different day.

In the words of Anne Frank:

"I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart. I simply can't build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery, and death...and yet...I think...this cruelty will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again."

I quote that a LOT, Shira! In fact, it's framed above my desk.

I just realized that the street in front of our house is full of broken glass - big chunks, even. But, I'm too scared to go out and sweep it up.

I've already thrown up once, and I can't stop crying. I just can't believe that at age 46, in the year 2008, THIS is the reality.

And it's not like we're in Compton, for crying out loud! THIS is supposed to be the heart of middle class, 'family value' land. I guess it's only if you live up to their expectations.

Funny thing is, we are literally almost invisible here. My putting the sign out was the most overt thing they've had to deal with in 7+ years.

*sigh*

Hmm, just finished "Quinceanera". I wasn't too impressed, but I wanted to be.

Shira - I remember thinking it was a little 'sitcommy'. I laughed here and there, but the whole thing just seemed like extended sketch comedy to me.

[shira467]

Posted: 11/1/08 at 2:19am

Yeah. I wanted to be more "touched".

[Q]

Posted: 11/1/08 at 2:20am

My Dear, we all want to be more 'touched'

I was being serious for half a second!

So was I.

I give up for the night! I'm out and to bed.

Hey Peeps! Just checking in to make sure everyone made it home in one piece.

My night was okay. It had potential to be great, but never quite got there. Take that however or wherever you want.

Posted: 11/1/08 at 11:23am

Frustrating, eh, Shamey?

[shira467]

Posted: 11/1/08 at 11:27am

Sorry, Shames! Here's to better nights! *clink*

All I can say is I have no idea how I get myself into the situations I do. I don't even think "interesting" could describe my evening, but can't say it wasn't a lot of fun!

Now to finally sleep.

[shira467]

Posted: 11/1/08 at 11:39am

NOW to sleep? Tink, did you just get home?

[shameless]

Posted: 11/1/08 at 11:43am

You could say that, Deet.

I'm not sure if I'm jealous or relieved that I wasn't with Tink last night.

[shira467]

Posted: 11/1/08 at 11:45am

I'm jealous, for sure. But I did like my night anyhow.

[MotorTink]

Posted: 11/1/08 at 11:52am

yeah, just got home. Off to diner because I just realized I didn't eat since lunch yesterday. I stayed local instead of NYC.

Let's just say there was a lot of alcohol consumed and at one point of the night I got my first official female lap dance. Like i said, I have no idea how I get myself into the situations that I do! :)

I had two favorite trick or treaters. One was a little girl, prob about 3, dressed as a flower. It was all she could do to take the lollipop out of her mouth when prompted by her mom on what to say after I put the candy in her pumpkin. Then when she did, she said Dziekuje (pronounced jinkoya), which is Polish for thank you. Luckily, it's one of the few Polish words/phrases I know.

The other was a little boy about 5 or so. He said trick or treat, and when I opened the door to give him his candy, he shouted, "No scary lady, mom. Her's wearin Elmo slippers." I guess he was afraid to come up to the door, because of the graveyard and ghoul hanging by the door.

Now, to undecorate.
