We all have a favorite food that we can't wait to dig into. Be it the Turkey, Mashed Potatoes or the Pumpkin pie.

Now it has been the family tradition for my aunt and uncle's family to eat with my own. My uncle is THEE best cook, and my aunt makes THEE greatest pies.

Most people skip giving thanks to Thanksgiving in favor of Christmas. Which I can understand, Christmas and Halloween are the two biggest holidays of the year. Poor Thanksgiving is sandwiched between them, there really isn't much love given to the pilgrim/Indian holiday.

But, I always look forward to it. It's the best meal of the year, in my opinion. Where the entire family gets together and stuffs their faces.

But, I've gotten off topic a smooch. My favorite food of Thanksgiving is the Stuffing. It's soft, crunchy, there's a whole bunch of flavors in it that give it a unique flavor all it's own! My second would have to be the Pumpkin pie, (though, my aunt does make a cherry pie specially for my family and me ). There's also the veggies to considers. Mmm, Black Olives.


So, what food do you look forward to having this November 26?

(you know, there's no mood icon for Thanksgiving, we have one for 'humping' and 'uNF' but not for Thanksgiving . . .)

1. Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things, like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

2. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

3. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

4. Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn’t changed at all, like many of the principles on which this great country was founded; women are still property, blacks still can’t marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

5. Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of marriages like Britney Spears’ 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

6. Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn’t be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren’t full yet and the world needs more children.

7. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

8. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That’s why we have only one religion in America.

9. Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That’s why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven’t adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.


I'd like to shake the hand of whoever wrote this. They're very clever.

(ran out of space for that title. The last bit is suppose to say '& Halloween' O_o)

My Composition Professor decided to give us extra credit if we participate. So we've got roughly 30 days to write a 10,000 word novel, (The website says 50,000 but, Prof. changed it thankfully.) If we get it all done, we get 100 extra credit points!

Now I have an idea, a good idea I think, I won't tell you because I've still got to figure some of it out myself. I don't think I'll have too much trouble with the word count, because once I get into my groove, I can easily get a few hundred words within the hour. The only problem I can see is in how I'm going to end the novel. I've had the idea for a few months now, (it's just been on the back burner in my mind) I never took it up because I couldn't think of a way to end it. Which, I suppose it good now, because the website won't take a novel if you've already started on it.

I don't think that they'll take fanfiction. Which is a darn shame, because I could give Hasbro, (or whoever write the stories for TFAnimated) a few good ideas. Hmm, wouldn't mind having that job . . .


And now for some Halloween news;

I didn't do quite what I planned to do. I did watch some movies. Not with :iconkristoper-mordan: he was sick. So when darkness rolled around, I went walking around town with some friends. We went to the park and played Glow-stick-tag. Essentially it's tag, but you're trying to get people by throwing the glow stick at them. Hurts a bit, but it's fun. I hit my elbow while trying to throw the stick. And I hit my head while trying to run away.


How about you guys? Did your Halloween go as planned?

Trick-or-treating? Carving Pumpkins? Dressing up? Scaring the bejeezes outta that neighbor kid who always eggs your car? (That no good little . . . )

This is the first year that I WON'T be trick-or-Treating,(lousy age discrimination! ). I was able to get away with it the last few year, because I was taking my little cousins. Their family's moved so I can't do it anymore. Ahh well, t'was fun while it lasted.

One of my most favorite traditions is watching Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. Love that movie. Ever since I was just a little squirt I'd go to the video store and rent it. Funny, it was never taken on Halloween. Always available for me.
Now all these wannabe goths and emos like 'cause it all dark. I LIKED IT BEFORE IT WAS COOL! Good thing I bought the DVD. It ain't the special edition everyone else has got but, hey, it came with the official soundtrack. I'm happy.

My other fun tradition is, of course, carving my pumpkin! (which I still have to do!) Throughout the last couple of years, I've been getting creative with the patterns on the Pumpkin. Three years ago I carved a silhouette of Jack and Sally, (didn't turn out too good). Two years ago, Jackle, (lovely! ). And last year, I believe I have the picture in my scraps, I carved a really ugly sucker! It had all these awful lumps and it was all gross looking. It turned out PERFECT! This year should be; The Dealer of Destruction, The Merchant of Doom; Demongo!

And since I won't be trick-or-treating this year; I'm having a film fest with . We're going to watch the vampire Anime called 'Hellsing.' I've never seen it. But, Kris says it's good.


~Happy Haunting

I mean, really. People are freaking out over H1N1/Swine flu, yet they won't get the shot.

Kirkwood won't have any vaccines until the 27th and 29th, So I won't be able to get my shot until then. But I WILL get one of them. I don't think you can get both the regular flu shot and the H1N1. Not sure why, I suppose they cancel each other out or they cause major complications.

Your thoughts on this?
