( dear sephie (aka my characters need to stop being attention whores) )So this temporary Halloween layout is winning. Especially the Live Undead Journal bit. Except the red really clashes with my predominately pink/orange default userpic. Ah well. Speaking of Halloween, we were discussing Edgar Allan Poe (and his sketchy/creepy life) in English today, which reminded me of the 8th grade Halloween party with "The Raven," and many miscellaneous readings of "The Tell-Tale Heart." Which then reminded me of the two SBP Halloween chapters, the first of which involves Sirius and James dressing up as McGonagall and Dumbledore (respectively) and Remus scaring the bejeezus out of Sirius with "The Tell-Tale Heart" and the second of which involves James and Lily facing killer pumpkins. Seriously, more of you lot have to start reading The Shoebox Project. It's a good time.
Preparations for my 17th birthday party are underway. Stay tuned for information.

ZOMG THERE IS A LOST SEASON FIVE TRAILER UP. I must go down to my mum's computer to watch it, as my internet connection doesn't like to play videos. But judging from the comments over at
Speaking of freakin' epic, we watched parts of The Patriot in US History today. That is an extremely gory movie, what with heads being blown off and cannonballs taking off people's legs and Mel Gibson repeatedly hacking up a British soldier's body so that you can see bits of blood flying through the air. And then there's the Big Epic Battle in which Mel Gibson ends up totally owning Jason Isaacs. As you can see, my class really got into the violence and making fun of the British soldiers who obviously attended the Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy.
So good news: my dance classes on next Thursday got cancelled so if there are any plans to go trick-or-treating I can go, as long as I don't have that much homework and I can convince my mum that 16 is not too old to trick-or-treat. Otherwise I might just have to stay at home and either a) work on homework all night or b) dress up and hand out candy. There's still the Halloween party to look forward to, though, even though I won't be showing up until 9:00 ish. But the fun will only be just beginning then, yeah? (And if I do end up going trick-or-treating, I guess I have less than a week to come up with a costume. Into the Closet of Dance Recital Costumes I go!)
[ETA: Gah! I forgot to include the First Line of Songs meme that I wanted to share. It's similar to the movie quote meme that Shaylagh did a while back.]
