I am in a very foul mood right now and only because I just found out that my water bottle is crooked and leaning. I do not know why this is but it is bothering me to the point of anxiety. I'm not crazy! I swear there's something wrong with it! I gotta get rid of it! I spent like ten minutes inspecting it, trying to see where the problem was but, shit, I'm not sure. I just have a faulty water bottle. Life is not fair. So, halloween was a lot of fun... Sorta... Well, it was fun if your definition of fun is doing everything so your dumb ass sister has to do very little. Then yes, it was excellent fun! I didn't appreciate the fact that my sister refused to carve pumpkins and then had dad get pumpkins for her to carve, and then she couldn't carve them, but her kids wanted carved pumpkins, so who got stuck with that job? ME! Which meant I had to grab up some pumpkins and bring them to my place to carve. There were five pumpkins. I carved them in two hours and was exhausted. Then I had to load the pumpkins up in my car and drive them back to my sister. The result was a pumpkin party in my trunk. Yes, that's blood on the pumpkin, my pumpkin. And yes, that's a giant rubber ducky behind my pumpkin. That picture actually makes me giggle... I can only imagine the story behind this scene...
Moving on... After getting to my sisters place, we went down to moms house to eat goulash which tasted like feet (after all these years, she hasn't modified her recipe) and then I had to do three of my nieces' make up. That wasn't as bad as I am making it. I actually kinda had fun. Evalea was simple enough, she was a butterfly fairy.
Kiley was a vampire and thus, slightly more challenging. But since I put my make up on in nearly the same fashion as I did hers, it wasn't too difficult.
Creepy and cute, together in one picture. Added bonus peace sign included.
Angel all made up... Or, as we affectionately started calling her, Queenie.
This lil princess had just woken up from a nap and was not interested in make up. So we just pulled her hair back and put on a crown. Once she got a little candy in her, she was happier.
Pumpkins just chillin'...
Yeah it was a lot of fun but I'm so glad it was over. I dressed up as well, however, as the photographer, there are no pictures of me. I reside behind the camera. I was swine flu for halloween. It was a simple costume consisting of a pig ears and tail, and wings. I won fifty dollars in the employee costume contest on friday. I spent it all on movies and cheap thrills. Anyhow, it is now November which means it's National Novel Writing Month. I've already started and am at about a thousand words so far. I plan on doing some more writing once I get home, I've been doing a little bit here and there at work but my creativity is constantly stifled no thanks to the constant questioning and phone ringing and my short attention span. Click here! Right there is more info on what NaNoWriMo is all about. Basically, it's simple, just writing a novel of fifty thousand words. Simple enough. I did it last year and then abandoned my novel completely. The story was poor and was going nowhere. In the end, I was desperate to end it, so the main character almost got raped and ended up in the hospital. I had intended on finishing that story for this year's novel writing month but I don't think I can get back into it so I decided to write something else. And what I'm writing now, I'm quite pleased with. At least I'm pleased with it now, I might not feel the same later, when I'm struggling to make things happen. So there you have it. |
