1. What was your first Halloween costume?
The first one i remember anyways-lol- I went as an Eewok.
2. What was your best costume and why?
I think the first year I went as a cat. And I think that directly ties in to who i was with, what i did, where i was at etc.. Not to mention i had some swanky fake leather pants that were just kickass :) Remember the pants Jello? Remember dancing/mucking about in the apt. in the pants? Those were some great pants*L*
3. Did you ever play a trick on someone who didn’t give you a treat?
I could never really be bothered.. then again.. no one ever didn’t give a treat..
4. Do you have any Halloween traditions? (ie: Family pumpkin carving, special dinner before trick or treating, etc.)
When I was younger we did. My dad would take me the week before halloween out to pick a pumpking, dinner and then to a haunted house.
5. Share your favorite scary story…real or legend!
It’s not scary.. I don’t really have any of those.. But it is a great halloween memory. It is of going to the haunted houses with my dad when i was younger.. we went to this old place in St. Claire Shores.. Jaycee’s Haunted Houses.. Michigan is crawling with them this time of year*L* This one was actually done in an old house.. my dad had to carry me because i declared i was not walking, something might get me. I believe i was about 4-5 years old. Long story short, we went up the stairs and ther was a “graveyard” scene laid out.. my dad was standing rather close to the “fence” and one of the zombies jump up right in our faces. Well, I hauled off in all my freaked out 4 year old fury, bashing my hands on this poor guys face, screaming “YOU LEAVE MY DADDIE ALONE!!!”-smash smash smash- the guy got out of range and took his mask off and apologized.. and everyone else of course was laughing..
A cabbie picks up a nun. She gets into the cab, and the cab driver won’t stop staring at her. She asks him why is he staring and he replies, “I have a question to ask you but I don’t want to offend you.”She answers, ‘My dear son, you cannot offend me. When you’re as old as I am and have been a nun a long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I’m sure that there’s nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive.”
“Well, I’ve always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me.” She responds, “Well, let’s see what we can do about that: #1, you have to be single and #2 you must be Catholic.”
The cab driver is very excited and says, “Yes, I am single and I’m Catholic too!” The nun says “OK, pull into the next alley.” He does and the nun fulfills his fantasy. But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.
“My dear child, said the nun, why are you crying?” “Forgive me sister, but I have sinned. I lied, I must confess, I’m married and I’m Jewish.” The nun says, “That’s OK, my name is Joe and I’m on my way to a Halloween party.”

So.. November is just a day and some away.. Big projects looming on the horizon.. I may not survive.. For one who doesn’t do a whole lot, these projects are daunting…
First off is NANOWRIMO.. I have all 3 main characters mapped out.. I have had a few story elements running through my head.. but they’re all mid story issues.. no really hi lets get this thing started deals.. which i think worries me the most.. once i start.. or get a start.. the ball will roll on through…I’m eager to start.. but at the same time i dread it.
Secondly is 26 things is starting again the 1st of November. Hurrah for the scavenger hunt :) I’m looking forward to this for picturingreality. While Connect 8 was fun, I really enjoyed the 26things project a lot more.. I can’t wait to see what the theme ideas are. Sorta tying into secondly being photo related.. is the new layout for miaouphoto.. K has promised to help me get that going, and to work it all out, so that I am not struggling with it on my own.. so that is good :)
Third, are Christmas gifts. UGH. It’s good that I’m starting ahead of time this year.. instead of like a week and a half before christmas. I’m not being as adventurous as i was last year.. well maybe i am.. but at least i won’t go blind doing it. I already have 80% of bevie’s gift planned out, kev’s kinda sorta.. the rest.. i have no clue..
IN any case.. it should prove to be an interesting 30 days. Oh yeah.. and i’m starting my pilates program on monday 
. Hopefully the exercise and that will keep me balanced…. help work off the stress.
Sandi called me at like 945 this morning telling me to get a move on and get dressed*L* We went out Walmart for various things, then headed over to the den of no return called Michael’s Craftstore.. I picked up stuff to do part of bevie’s christmas present.. i also got 2 100 page photo albums that were on sale.. I want to go and pick up a few more. I’m going to be going through my photo boxes and taking the nice images out, sorting them and putting them away (see explination below for this suicidal adventure).. we then headed over to shoppers to get some makeup, tea, contact solution and prescriptions.. Scampering back ,we said our farewells and I came up to make tea. Last night, K, P, and C and i went to a Japanese place not to far from here for dinner.. and they had iced green tea. Now, normally I do not like green tea.. maybe my tastes are changing.. i don’t know.. but this stuff was damn good. So i bought some.. and i have 2 teapots all brewed up and chilling in the fridge..
Now for the photo thing.. as some of you know.. and have been dealing with second hand.. I am currently working on miaouphoto’s new look. I had sort of a plan.. sort of an idea.. but i never really thought much into it.. I should have asked for concrete opinions earlier on into this project.. but here a month later.. after having some design issues pointed.. i’ve scraped the entire idea.. i wasn’t originally very happy with it.. because i really didn’t know where i wanted it to go.. i had this look.. that i was just hoping would fall all together into place somewhere along the lines.. and well.. it wasn’t. So we were talking about scrapbooks and photo albums and all that stuff.. and i waslike why do you think i don’t have scrapbooks.. i’m too crazy concerned about them being PERFECT for me to feasably sit down and do them without going insane.. same thing with photo albums.. i always get done.. and there are like 5-6 photos that i find, and i;’m like SONOFA.. those fit.. in the first 3 pages.. and by that time.. there’s no more room to fit them in -grumphiss-.
I am absolutely terrified to the point of panic attacks of spiders. But I also have this freakish desire to take their pictures.. as long as they don’t move, or raise their little spider legs in that kung fu i’m now going to kick your ass bitch motion.. that makes me cry.
Something else scary happened Monday night.. This is something that just scared the crap out of me.. I wasn’t impressed.. but I kept him on my desk for the night.
yes you.. the idiots with the websites, that take over one’s browser, completely resizing it to something huge and stupid and large.. feckoff.. you’re annoying.. oh.. and btw.. if you’re trying to sell yourself as a product.. you might want to make sure all your graphics and links work properly..
liberated the beeflycreature..lots of new photos on picturing.. go see.
