despite my being a damned Yankee, there is still some salvation in this time of year for me. the weather is finally dipping below 80 degrees; 78 does count, doesn't it? when there is a wind, it's lovely. i swear that October has the best wind.. the evenings are more beautiful. the moon is more round and mysterious than ever. makes you understand why it's likened to a woman--its article in other languages is feminine and i know why when i just look up. i can snuggle up in toe socks and watch all of my favorite Halloween movies for nights in a row. there is the sate fair back home, there's my birthday, and of course--there's my favorite night of the whole year!
i should really do the Anne Rice Vampire Lestat Fan Club Ball this year. i swear, for one of her biggest fans, i never used my proximity to NOLA to my advantage. gosh, it would be nice to finally maybe meet her and have her sign one of the many, many books of hers that i've managed to collect in the last five or so years. i need to dust off my 18th century vampire costume and meet some of the other coolest people on the planet for an evening of fangs and and photos. Anne Rice is good vampire literature. After Stoker comes Rice, but I'm going to get into Twilight soon, i promise. i hear that it's amazing.
as for the actual DAY [or night] that is most important this month, im getting a little anxious. i'm not at home to go all out with decor and i don't know the first thing to do with my apartment. i still don't have a costume!!! what about The Rocky Horror Picture Show? what am i wearing then? yeah, i'm still female under all of my androgen. okay, Harley Quinn for Halloween and Miranda for the RHPS? a Transylvanian, perhaps? oh, Rocky.. a bonfire this year? a house party?
yeah, i'm having a geek-out. deal with it. i have to watch Tim Burton's Nightmare at least once. i also wouldn't mind Beetlejuice, Batman, etc. i have to support my favorite producer / director. you should come over! i have the most random, yet amazing string of movie nights, ever. and the weather is so perfect for having a boy to wrap his arms around you and buy you coffee!! [i just met a beautiful boy who lives across from me. he called me ma'am when he held the door open for me.. he's a southern gentleman and not a bigot, but i usually go for taller ones, though. ]
screw that! i can wrap my arms around myself and make my own coffee! it's got to be this October moon getting to me!
Lestat et Louis speak the truth!
MMmmmm I absolutely love Louis...
ReplyDeletesuch a pretty vampire!
>.< I still have no idea what I want to be for Halloween...
Hmm... Twilight is WAY overrated in my opinion. I guess I would be able to appreciate it more of a book if it hadn't gained such a cult following of girls, making statements such as "Edward Cullen made abstinence cool," and "after reading Twilight, human boys seem boring."
ReplyDeleteFall makes me happy. ESPECIALLY Halloween. =)
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm really bad at math in general, and it's started to get confusing. :P
ReplyDeleteYeah, it makes no sense. The school stresses the dress code and wearing clothes that cover you and are weather appropriate, and then they get these outfits for the cheerleaders. I mean, it's the middle of winter when they're cheering on football games... why are they so uncovered? I don't know how they do it.
ReplyDeleteI happen to love autumn as well! It's the best time of year in my opinion. Not too cold, yet not burning with heat. Well, in Texas thats how it is :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you'll be reading Twilight soon! Btw, great photo of Lestat and Louis at the end. So gorgeous...*drools*
D: I could never be a science major. I like science and all, but once my teacher said "Science and math are very closely related" and I decided that it will never be for me. :P
ReplyDeleteI Love making huge piles of leaves and jumping into them during fall [Although my current home is an a brand new california subdivision, so our tree looks like a walking stick with 3 leaves on it].
