More Halloween Blogthings (will they never end?)

You Should Be a Ghost for Halloween
You are painfully shy. You don't really care much for socializing, and you prefer it when people forget all about you.

When you get dressed up for Halloween, you're just trying to hide a little. It's the one time of the year it's okay to wear a mask.

To be honest, Halloween makes you want to lock the door, turn out the lights, and wait for it to be over.

It's a huge step if you even hand out candy on Halloween. Sometimes you're too shy for even that!
BULLpucky, though this sorta describes me as a child, that's for sure!
+ + + + + +
You Should Give Out Milk Chocolate
You are a very modest and unassuming person. You don't pretend to be someone you're not.

Like a milk chocolate bar, you're perfect the way you are. You don't need any flash.

You are comforting and steady. People know what they can expect from you, and they appreciate your strengths.

While some trendy types may leave you underrated for a while, people always come back to you in the end.
And so I am. Giving out chocolate, that is. ;-)

Friday Fill-Ins

1. It was a dark and stormy night, but tonight is supposed to be quieter.

2.
The bookdrop was broken at the library so I offered to take the books [in] myself.

3. Rushing out,
I forgot to grab my [keys] [lunch] [paperwork] [you name it]. I do this ALL.THE.TIME...sigh.

4.
Where are the coyotes...I think I heard a howl!

5. Shhhh...
I'm still listening for the coyotes.

6.
Trick or treat! [G]ive me something good to eat!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to
vegging out, tomorrow my plans include a meeting and then shopping (or "shopping") with a friend, and Sunday, I want to survive another afternoon at work, maybe even get some cataloging done! [a girl can dream, right?]

Halloween Blogthings

You Are The Silence of the Lambs
You think the scariest thing in the world is the human mind. What serial killers are capable of frightens you to the core.

You aren't big on gore or action when it comes to horror movies.
You rather delve deeper than that... and get completely disturbed.

In fact, you can hardly ever find a horror movie that compares to the nastiness of a true crime story. You couldn't think up the brutal crimes that occur in real life.

In your opinion, no monster can be as scary as a human. You don't have to look far to find someone that totally terrifies you.
Well, pretty true. People are pretty scummy, but I generally prefer a good novel to a scary movie any day.
+ + + + + + + + +
You Are a Zombie
Like a zombie, you can't really help who you are today. You're a product of your past. [in part]

You tend to be needy to the point of being borderline dysfunctionally co-dependent. You literally can't exist without other people.

And once you set your sights on someone, you become obsessed with chasing him or her down.

When you want a person, you're not exactly subtle. You are forceful and honest... you have no trouble expressing what you want
I think I am more of a zombie than the other choices, especially lately. But the description doesn't really fit, and I've worked hard to rid myself of a lot of codependency.
+ + + + + + + + +
You Are a Treat
As a kid, you didn't cause too much trouble, and the adults adored you. Now that you've grown up, not much has changed.

You know that a little sugar is the way to get what you want in life,
and you are as sweet as they come.

You like to make things better in the world, and you don't mind following rules... no matter how silly they may seem.

You are a truly good person, and there's very few of you in the world. Anyone who knows you is blessed!
I can be sweet, but I'm not selling my soul for it. As for that last paragraph...probably not something I should agree or disagree with.
+ + + + + + + + +
You Are Traditional on Halloween
Halloween is all about the things you've loved since you were a kid. It's a holiday of big traditions for you.

You love carving pumpkins, eating candied apples, trick-or-treaters, and old horror movies.

You would never be found dressing up as the latest celebrity. You're much more likely to go for an old standby like witch or vampire.

Halloween has a lot of history for you, and you're not about to throw it all away for the latest Halloween trend!
Strike-out.
+ + + + + + + + +
You Are Orange
You are quirky, hyper, and very enthusiastic. You are a total optimist, and you're always finding something new to be happy about.

You love to be around other people. You're a very social person, and more than anything else, you are a truly playful creature.

You're always off to another adventure, and you love it when others join you in your fun. The more the merrier!

You're too busy following your dreams to let yourself get down. There's so much to celebrate in life. You like to focus on what makes you happy.
Not really so accurate....
+ + + + + + + + +
Your Witch Name is Tabitha
Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
I always liked Tabitha on "Bewitched" but I don't really understand why this is a 'witch name.' It's actually from an Aramaic word--not too witchy--and the Tabitha in the Bible was a strong Christian disciple and friend of Paul's. So, WTF?

October almost Halloweenth

1. So Halloween is this weekend, if you haven't heard. Are you gonna open your doors up or not?
Yup. Gotta get some candy, and punkins yet. Cuz, yeah, I am the fricking biggest procrastinator EVER!!
2. You better open 'em cuz I'm coming... what are you putting in my treat bag?
I don't even remember what I bought. Almond Joy? Something I don't like anyway.
3. Since October is the bestest month for television (well for cable & dish subscribers it is) and there is a horror movie on at any given time of the day - are you sick of them yet?
I don't watch horror movies. Ever. Except Psycho.
4. Which one of those movies can you watch over & over again?
plock (See above)
5. Tell us about a Halloween scare you've had....
The worst Halloween was the one when Sparky upset his lower g.i. tract at some point and didn't quite make it into the Room of Requirement in his mad dash from trick-or-treating down the street to our house.... YUCK.
6. Did you watch the old Casper cartoons when you were a youngin? Well, back then they weren't old I suppose, but I'm sure you still understand my question.
Yes, I did, actually. They confused me because my sister lived in Casper (WY) at the time. I even had a Casper card game.
7. Have you ever found a four-leaf clover?
Nope. Not for lack of looking, either.
8. Haunted Houses... you know, the kinds you pay to get in and they chase you with chainsaws and severed heads.... do you like 'em?
I have enjoyed staffing them in the past. I'm not a big fan of being terrified, in case you didn't figure that out already.
9. Do you use cute cartoon type wrapping paper for Christmas presents or the not cutesy paper? Or are you one of those gift card and/or gift bag people?
I am HUGELY anti-cute. I do like cards and gift bags, but I don't mind using sensible (i.e. uncute) paper for normal-shaped items.
10. How long do boiled eggs need to stay in the boiling water before they become hard boiled eggs?
15 minutes. And then dump them carefully into ice-cold water for at least 15 more minutes.
11. Jason is coming in through your front door... Freddy is coming through your back door... zombies are at every window of the house and Norman Bates is calling to invite you to dinner... what do you do?
This question made me burble with laughter: Jason comes in our house ALL THE TIME; he lives behind us.

But OK, to answer the question, I'd call 911.
12. Did you know that the scariest part of Halloween is giving all of your Reeses Peanut Butter Cups away?
...and that's why I don't even buy them to start with...
13a. If you were to play a part of a haunted house (not the ghosts in the attic kind), what would you want to be?
I've played a decapitation victim, and an undead person in a coffin. The decapitation part was hard cuz I had to scream over and over. The undead thing was great for my abs: I basically had to keep doing sit-ups over and over as I "rose from the grave" but it was really cold lying on the ground in October.
13b. Have you ever played a part in a haunted house?
Ayup.
14. If Thursday Thunks had a Halloween party, what do you think Kimber & Berleen would come dressed as?
No clue. Something goofy, I'd bet. :-P
15. Do you cook a turkey for Thanksgiving?
Yes I do.
16. Have you ever read a book that scared the pants off of you?
Yes, a few of them. The one that springs to mind immediately is "Gerald's Game."
17. What's the predicted high temperature for today?
I think it made it to the low 50s.
18. Have you ever howled at the moon?
Uh, maybe? I did a lot of weird things as a kid.
19. You are in an alley and a werewolf and a vampire are coming at you - one of them has to win. Which one do you want to bite you?
I don't believe in either, so I'd just pinch myself and wake up.

Green to Green

(Link in blogroll)
[there are too many to comment individually, but the italicized parts are what I agree with, so I'll just give each one a letter grade]
You Are Green
You are a very intuitive person. You understand what people need. You are both a natural healer and persuader.

You've always found it easy to get what you want in life, whether that is material success or just making a difference in other people's lives.

You change with the times, and if anything, you tend to lead the way toward the future. You anticipate what's going to happen next.

You have the opportunity to be a very powerful person. What you end up doing with your power is up to you.
B
+ + + + + + + +
You Are Not Crazy for Halloween
You are what's known as a Halloween humbug. For some reason, you really can't get into the season.

Low carb diet? Hate kids? Have an irrational fear of fake blood? Whatever it is, Halloween just isn't your bag.

Your best option is to camp out until November 1.
Resist the urge to smash pumpkins and toilet paper houses.

Start your own anti-Halloween movement. If it worked for Valentine's Day, there's sure to be some takers for Halloween!
C+
+ + + + + + + +
You Are Colorful and Flamboyant
You're the type of person who wears a really crazy, outrageous costume. Seriously, you push it to the limit.

You're likely to dress up in something that is both hilarious and revealing. Halloween is the one night you can get away with murder, and you fully intend to.

Your favorite Halloween celebrations are totally unpredictable and wild. You want to wake not knowing where you are... next to a hungover clown.

Candy and booze are a dangerous mix, and you like to live on the edge. Just remember to pace yourself while the night is still young.
F
+ + + + + + + +
You Are Kooky
You are all about sweet treats on Halloween. You don't mind if people get a little scared, but no one should get PTSD from a haunted house!

You believe that Halloween should be about fun not fight.
You love to dress up in an amazing costume and go out to show it off.

You've even been known to take in a scary movie or haunted house, but only if it's well done and not too freaky. You'll pass on anything too gruesome.

Your favorite thing about Halloween is watching the tiniest kids have fun. Looking at them makes you feel a little bit younger too!
A
+ + + + + + + +
You Are a Teen Horror Movie
You like a horror movie to feel realistic. You're most scared when you believe what's happening could happen (or could have happened) to you.

You prefer a horror movie that doesn't take itself so seriously. You like witty dialog and even a bit of comedy with your gore.

You believe that darkness can strike at any time, so you enjoy that teen horror movies inject evil in to everyday life.

Your favorite movies have compelling characters, lots of drama, and plenty of terror. You like films like Scream, The Blair Witch Project, and I Know What You Did Last Summer.
D
+ + + + + + + +
You Should Dress Up As a Cat
You are a shy, reserved person who takes a long time to warm up to others. You are close to those you've known the longest.

You are
crafty and smart. You may seem like you're lost in your own little world, but you're really paying attention to everything going on around you.

You are not easily influenced by the other people in your life. If anything, you counterbalance their emotions well.

You are intuitive and have a lot of wisdom to impart. Most people don't pay close enough attention to the lessons you teach them.
B-
+ + + + + + + +
Your Pet Should Be Royalty for Halloween
Your pet is the most spoiled creature around. Your pet knows how to get his or her way, and you love to give in.

Your pet demands the softest bed, the tastiest treats, and the best toys.

It's likely that your pet doesn't like to be left alone for very long, and you probably take your pet out with you whenever you can.

You definitely treat your pet like a prince or princess, but you don't mind. You get a lot of love in return!
C-
+ + + + + + + +
You Should Carve a Classic Pumpkin Face
You are calm, collected, and together. You are good at following rules and instructions.

You tend to celebrate Halloween in the same way every year. You have a routine down that you like.

You look forward to your favorite decorations, candy, and costumes. You might even carve the same pumpkin face each year.

You love the Halloween classics like little kids in costumes, spooky movies, and candy corn. Why mess with a good thing?
B+
+ + + + + + + +
You Are a Carnival Mask
You are flirtatious, charming, and seductive. You are both mysterious and alluring.

You know how to dance the steps, no matter what the dance is. You always know what the next move should be.

You are good at drawing people in but not letting them get too close. You know how to be wanted.

You prefer to be understated than over the top. You never want to be seen as trying too hard.
C-
+ + + + + + + +
Your Home Is Not Haunted
There's nothing particularly creepy about your home. Anything you notice is probably quite normal.

You probably already knew that your home isn't haunted. In fact, you may not even believe in homes being haunted.

Your home is welcoming, warm, and comfortable. Even on the coldest and deadest of nights, you feel safe.

Your home is the perfect place to watch a terrifying horror movie. No matter how scared you get, you'll sleep soundly afterwards.

A+
+ + + + + + + +
You Are a Green Pumpkin
You are easy going, thoughtful, and content with who you are. People may not recognize your uniqueness, but you know how special you are.

You believe that life's too short to care about what others think. You just try your best to be yourself, and you figure that is good enough.

You are a bit of an introvert.
You are the most interesting companion you know, so it's hard for you to want to be all that social.

You enjoy the company of others, but you don't like small talk or gossip. You['d] rather discuss ideas or dreams than superficial topics.

1) What genre of movies do you prefer?
Whatever else is going on, it HAS to have some kind of comedic element or you've lost me completely.
2) If you could have overheard a specific conversation between any two people, what would it be?
I would have loved to have heard the discussion between Jesus' parents around the time she became pregnant.
3) What behavior do you think is the most common but rudest?
Answering a call or a text in the middle of a F2F conversation. Which isn't to say that I haven't ever done this....
4) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.

I'm so glad this high school football season is over. What a drag: they lost every game (not unexpected since they have no seniors on the team) and the weather SUCKED for every varsity game. Next year will be better, right?

Manic Monday

How do you define honesty?
Calling things as you see them, regardless of what you want to be true.
What is the main thing that makes you unique?
Uhm...well, my DNA.
What is your biggest fear or worry?
My biggest worry is about those close to me being hurt/ill/injured. My biggest fear is failing.
Neither is particularly unrealistic.

Curious as a Cat

1) Among all your childhood friends, who had the parents everyone wanted to have?
I don't remember any one friend having The Cool Parents. I just know mine weren't it, seeing as how they were everyone else's grandparents' ages. Actually, in high school W. had the coolest mom EVER!! She is still one of my favorite people. Why? Because she always treated us all as if we were adults.
2) Do you have relatives nearby? Or do you have to travel a ways to see family?
There are 21 people I consider immediate family members (almost 22!), two of whom live with me. There are 5 others fairly nearby, more relatives in the area and in my life now than there ever have been since I've been married. They are all at least 30 minutes away, and even that feels kind of close and stultifying sometimes.
3) Are you a saver or a spender?
I don't love spending money, but once I've made the decision to spend, I don't waste time doing so. Overall, however, I'm more of a saver.
4) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.

Are those cupcakes? This picture reminds me that I have to make a cake, or cupcakes, for my sister's birthday this weekend. My "Cool Sister" is turning (HOLY SHIT) 60! Damn, time is passing faster and faster.
Your Best Trait is Persistence
You are strong willed and very stubborn. You don't give up, even when everyone else thinks you should.

You are good at selecting a goal, figuring out how to achieve, and putting your nose to the grindstone until you've got it.

You've got true grit. You may not be the richest or luckiest person you know, but you're definitely the toughest.

You are independent
and always do things your own way. If people question your tactics, it only makes you more determined.
Yes, stubborn. Not so much on the goal-setting. And getting tougher by the minute. That or die trying.
+ + + + + + +
You Are the "L" Block
You are creative and interesting. You are always coming up with a new spin on things.

Until people figure you out, you tend to be under appreciated. You talents usually go unnoticed at first.

You are adventurous and a total experimenter. You've tried things that people haven't even dared to contemplate.

You are always reinventing yourself in novel ways. You've gone through many different phases in your life.
{snort} Of course I'm the L. What else would I be? But the description isn't very accurate.
+ + + + + + +
You Are Beef and Broccoli
You are a smart, no nonsense type of person. You are very low maintenance compared to most people.

You are often thinking of everyone else but yourself.
You feel the most comfortable when you are putting yourself last.

You tend to order quickly yet carefully from the menu of life. You don't have a lot of time to agonize over decisions.

By doing the best you can in each moment, you've done pretty well in life.
People truly respect and admire you.
I like Chinese Beef & Broccoli, and this sounds mostly like me, I guess.
+ + + + + + +

Your British Name Is Esme Cressida
Bloody brilliant!

More quick stuff

You Are "The Way You Make Me Feel"
You are hopeful and romantic. You're always falling for someone, and you can help but tell the world about your latest infatuation.

You are the type of person who is easily inspired by love. You have a lot of muses.

Even if a relationship doesn't pan out, you don't mind too much. You're much more in love with falling in love than being in love.

And while you may be able to commit, it doesn't keep you from looking. Someone is always turning your head.
OK, this is so weird--totally WRONG. In every way. Too bad....
+ + + + + +

jYou Are Beer
You are a social organizer of sorts. Whether you're at Oktoberfest or watching the big game, you're always ready to crack open a beer with a few friends.

You wouldn't say that fall is your favorite season. You tend to love all the seasons equally.

You enjoy getting together with your friends for all sorts of occasions, and fall fun is no exception.

Whether you're at a wild Halloween party, picking pumpkins, or going for a hayride ... you know how to have a blast during this time of the year.
I don't like beer. I think I've mentioned that before. And actually fall is my favorite season.
+ + + + + +

You Are Archive
You are competent, organized, and careful. You know how to stay on task and focus on the most important thing.

You like to have everything in its place. Messes and chaos completely stress you out.

You have a system for almost everything in your life, and you don't like to deviate from it.

Calendars, routines, and having things in a certain order keeps you calm.
You don't like to shake things up too much.
My life is VERY stressful right now: N O T H I N G is in the place it belongs. Hence the italicized AND red highlight above.
+ + + + + +

Your City is Paris
You are low key and elegant. You secretly believe you're the best, but you don't have to run around proving it to everyone.

You live a simple life, but your life is anything but provincial or backwards. You are extremely cosmopolitan.

Without trying to, you are always wearing the chicest clothes, reading the most interesting books, and eating the best tasting food.

Many people try to imitate your style, but they fail miserably. There's no substitute for you.

But I don't WANNA be Paris! Yuck. And I'm NOT cosmopolitan. ;-)

You Are a Blackberry
You are one of those super hard working, cellphone to your hip types.

You like gadgets that do what they're supposed to do, especially when they keep you super connected to the world.

You prefer function over flash, so things like a long battery life and easy features appeal to you.

You may not look as cool as all of the iPhone kids, but you're probably being more productive than all of them!
First reaction: "oh thank GOD!" I'm turning into a major anti-Apple person.

And then I read the description and yeah, it's true.
