Funy Game!

So i found this fun game called "Vampire Physics". No, it does not actually involve any math or science, so cool your jets. In the game you are trying to turn all the humans into vampires, whilst avoiding garlic, werewolves, rival vampires, and priests, all of which can kill you. You do this by clicking on wood (which will always break) to drop, push, or in any other way move the characters around to accomplish your goal of making a vampire army! Try it out

Play with Kittehs!

So, whilst in the middles of my online escapades, I can across a wonderful site where you can play with cats in an animal shelter using robot toys. By simply pushing a button, a toy will move around in some way, and (hopefully) the cats will play with. You can watch, in real time, the animal shelter room, and chat with other people who are also on the site too, if you choose. Check it out, it's pretty neat.

Crazy Awesome Gingerbread Houses! & an UPDATE on my life

Cookie Construction: 10 Pictures of Amazing Gingerbread Houses

I think Baba Yaga's is the best! Comment which YOU think is the best!

UPDATE on my life:

My chorus concert was yesterday night, and I'm so happy it is over with. It was NOT fun and I did NOT like it. If your considering doing chorus next year, DON'T. Well, I can't totally rule it out because you may like the things I didn't. But just letting you know, it was more like a Glee club than straight forward chorus.
Any who, Madison got fixed like, two weeks ago, and got her stitches out this past Monday. Its really creepy to see her with her belly shaved, I feel like I've ruined her life. When I'm petting her if I get too close to her cut she'll rear up and paw my hand. It's like she knows what happened and she is upset about it. Makes me sad :(

In other news; Madison (aka, Kitten) fell off my desk today! But before i tell you the details of this event, i must launch into a back story to help explain. Madison was lying on my desk because she has recently discovered the joys of playing with my computer screen. I know what your thinking, "this can't end well," but you are wrong! You see, she sees the words being typed, my fingers moving across the keypad, the mouse moving across the page, ads blinking and moving, etc. She will sit (usually on my right side) really close to the screen and watch, sometimes poking the screen. Then she'll lay down, with half her body on my key bored. But anyway, she was laying down, facing away from me and I touched the back of her head to pet her. Being the feisty little feline she is, she rolled over to bite my hand, but instead she rolled right off. When she got back up, she was stunned, and kind of paused for a moment, as if collecting herself. Ahh, the joys of animals...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I'M SO EXCITED! Halloween is my FAVORITE holiday! I'm going to be a Secret Agent with my bestie, Carrie. I wanted to be a secret agent since last year, and mom my said no to wearing the dress i wanted. I thought all hope was lost, but alas! I (along with the genius mind of Carrie) came up with another way to be the rocking secret Agents i wanted to be. Anyway lets get the party started with some Halloween MUSIC!Below is a video with music on it. I'm not smart enough to figure out how to play a MIDI file, so i put music in a long video. With every new song, there is a new picture, so maybe that will help with finding one you like.There is also a little "table of contents" by the video so you can skip to a song you want to hear. Hope it works out :)

Little Shop of Horrors   0:00-3:27

Monster Mash   3:27-7:11

Addams Family Theme   7:11-8:36

Superstition     8:36-12:07

This is Halloween    12:07-15:24

Anyway, what were you guys for Halloween? I really want to know! If you have a blog PLEASE post some rockin' picture. I don't have a picture, but Carrie will (hopefully) put them on her blog, so i can snatch them from her ;)  Did i mention Halloween is my favorite holiday?! I love autumn in general, but i already addressed that on my candy post. 

Redundant huh? Hmmmm...

Homecoming! I went to homecoming yesterday and it was HOPPIN'! Tons o' fun, although there was a bit too much bumpin' and grindin' for my style. And really, one slow-dance? Come on, give me a break. Plus the slow dance was the last song too, so whats up with that? OK, brightening things up, let tell a little...

Ghost Stories!

An excerpt from Spooky Montana

retold by S.E. Schlosser

I found it extremely annoying that one of the bathrooms on my dorm was permanently closed. Especially since the cause was an urban legend. An urban legend, I tell you! According to the story, years and years ago some bloke got himself massively drunk at a bar in downtown Helena and had passed out in the bathroom on the fourth floor. Apparently, he hit his head on the sink as he fell, and his blood had spattered the sink as he slid senseless to the floor and silently hemorrhaged to death. His death was considered a “sad accident” by faculty, staff and townspeople. But that was no reason to shut up the bathroom for decades! I completely discounted the story of the bleeding sink. That was just an urban legend the students circulated to explain the locked door.

“I’m sick of sharing a bathroom with you disgusting lot,” I grumbled to my roommate. “I’m going to break into the fourth-floor bathroom.”
My roommate’s eyes widened. “Don’t you know that bathroom is haunted?” he exclaimed. “The bloodstains on the sink are as fresh today as they were when the accident happened back in the 1960s, and sometimes you can hear the boy moaning as his life ebbs away on the bathroom floor!”
“Romantic twaddle,” I snapped. “My granny lives in a haunted castle in Scotland with ghost stories that would make your hair stand on end. She’d laugh at me if she found out I ignored a perfectly good bathroom because of a few bloodstains. Besides, the maintenance staff told me the bathroom was shut up pending renovations. No big deal!”
“You’ll be sorry,” my roommate said darkly. I ignored him. He was just sore because I’d lumped him in with the disgusting lot of fellows who mucked up the bathroom on my floor. You’d think someone would teach them to pick up their dirty clothes and clean the sink once in awhile.
When the dorm quieted down for the night – which wasn’t until late – I hurried up to the fourth floor with a bit of wire I’d purchased at a local hardware store. My little brother and I had become expert lock-pickers over the years, since our mother had a bad habit of locking her keys into the house or the car at least once a week. With all that experience, the lock on the bathroom door gave me no problems.
The bathroom was rather old-fashioned in appearance and had a disused air. There was dust in the corners, and a spider web drooped from the ceiling. But I heard no unearthly groaning, no mysterious footsteps. I carefully inspected the sink, the walls and the floor. Other than a smallish orange discoloration on the sink, there was no blood anywhere. Ha! So much for urban legends. There was probably something in the water that caused discoloration over time. I turned a tap experimentally, sure that the maintenance staff had shut off the water long ago. To my surprise, water gushed forth instantly. I smiled. Well, well. It looked like I had a bathroom to myself after all! I carefully locked the door behind me when I left.

I got up late the next morning, and had the downstairs bathroom all to myself. So it wasn’t until evening, when everyone was back in the dorm, crowding in and out of the bathrooms, that I slipped away to use the locked up facilities. It was still early in the evening, and I made sure no one was around before I headed to the abandoned bathroom. With a few twists of the wire, I opened the lock. As I stepped inside, the air temperature plummeted twenty degrees or more and my nose was hit by the pungent, strong smell of fresh blood. A second later, I saw the blood-spattered sink.
Bright-red gore was everywhere – on the porcelain, on the walls, oozing down the sides of the sink. And hovering before it, his feet a good six-inches off the ground, was the luminous form of a college-aged boy wearing old-fashioned clothes in the style of the 1960s. His forehead had a disfiguring dent smashed into it, and blood was dripping down his face. As I gaped at him, horrified and frozen in terror, he turned and looked at me. Then he held out a blood-stained hand. His eyes were desperate, pleading for help, and I heard a low moaning sound coming from between his blood-stained lips. The sound raised every hair on my body and made the skin prickle in sheer, cold horror. I backpedaled fiercely, my legs scrambling to get away while my eyes and head remained fixed on the ghost, on the bloody sink. A drop of red blood fell from his outstretched hand as I stared at him. Then the momentum of my legs carried me through the door, which slammed shut behind me, and the hot, pungent smell of fresh blood followed me through the halls and down the staircases until I was outside into the chilly air of autumn, breathing deeply. My knees shook so bad that I fell onto the nearest patch of grass, stomach heaving. Oh lord! The ghost was real! No wonder they kept the place locked up.

I lay on the grass for a long time, ignoring the chill in the air. This was a natural chill which comforted, not that unnatural chill that had frightened me upstairs. I breathed in and out, in and out, watching the stars above me, bright even through the campus lights. I took comfort from the huge, clear expanse of sky. But I still felt reluctant to go back inside that haunted building. I shuddered once, from head to toe. Oh how my granny would laugh if she knew her big brave grandson was too scared to go back inside a haunted dormitory. It was the thought of granny that got me back onto my feet and upstairs to my room. But I didn’t care what granny or anyone else thought of me. I was never going back to the fourth floor bathroom. Once was enough.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Halloween Decorations!

A ghost hung from the tree house



Today my mom and I stayed home to put up Halloween decorations! Halloween is my favorite holiday, and Fall is my favorite season. In honor of Halloween I am putting a new background! I love Halloween more than Christmas or my birthday. The Candy, costumes, and the smells (pumpkin & cinnamon baby, pumpkin and cinnamon) just bring joy to my heart. So for the past year or so my family never put up Halloween decorations. It always made me really sad, because I thought we were losing tradition. One year I tried to put the decorations up by myself, but It wasn't as much fun, and they didn't look as good. But this year, My mom decided we would put up the decorations! We got pretty creative with some of them, especially the witch.  

A witch who crashed into a fence

The witch was defiantly the most fun to put up, and it took a while. We used some scraps of fabric for the cape and skirt, then we got some rain boots from an old firefighter costume. OOH, getting off topic, but do you guys keep your old costumes? We do at my house. Back on topic, we got our normal broom for her broom, and a hat from an old witches costume as her hat. a pair of REALLY old gloves for her hands, and shoved sticks and stuff in them. We kept the whole thing up with thumb tacks and other tacks. Your gonna have to guess how we made a body!

We didn't get to finish decorations for the house and stuff, but I will probably do that tomorrow or later today. So tell me, how are you guys enjoying your October? I'm having a ball, loving the cold (no sarcasm intended. I really do like cold weather). Can't wait for November to roll around, another awesome month. comment how your lifes going, and what your favorite holiday & season are!
