It’s Halloween season, and I ended up with arguably one of the biggest scares in my life two weeks ago; my vehicle was smashed into. T_T Thank God that nobody was hurt. Still, it’s been a whirlwind of rigmaroles ever since, dealing with the insurance companies and so on, not to mention sleepless nights from post-accident nerves. But it looks like ( Read more... )

Just when I think I’ll be able to really get back into fanfiction my schedule gets all whacked-out again. @_@ It’s to be expected at this time of year with pre-winter prep (yes, we’re already getting ready. I can’t believe it, either. But considering how last winter was on the mild side in my neck of the woods, we can’t expect lightning to strike ( Read more... )

Happy Halloween to everyone! Yes, indeed, I actually wasn’t abducted by aliens this past month. I’m alive and well. Scary, eh? ;P

So I vanished from the online world without a word (yet again) this October. And so I return (yet again) apologizing profusely for negating to keep in touch with my ever patient friends (...or whoever’s left that’s kind ( Read more... )

I’ve created a monster-a Halloween monster. Literally.

My muse has been on overdrive all month thanks to Halloween’s inspirational season. But all that inspiration can be good and bad, depending on how well I can reign in all my ideas. Sometimes an overloaded muse can be plain overwhelming. @_@ I actually spent the first ten or so days of this ( Read more... )

(BTW: Seriously, who came up with the name “Frankenstorm”?! :P *ahem*) Hurricane Sandy is heading for the coast, spookily reminiscent of last year’s debacle with Hurricane Irene. Let’s just hope that Sandy will be more forgiving, yes? (*pretty please?*) Nevertheless, it never hurts to take precautions. ;) Better safe than sorry. Praying that ( Read more... )

It figures; the first official day of autumn and I caught a cold. :( Fortunately, it wasn't a long-winded thing. I was sick as a dog over the weekend (I have my suspicions that my "cold" might have been more than that, but whatever it was it went away. Phew!). But I'm feeling better this week. I spent most of my weekend in bed, and I feel so gross ( Read more... )

I had to revert back to my old LJ style. :/ For some reason, the Halloween-themed style didn’t load properly on my home computer (which is a piece of crap, BTW. I’m not blaming LJ whatsoever!). This “Black, White, and Red All Over” style has always worked fine on my computer, so to make my life a little easier I’ll just use this for the time being ( Read more... )

(I saw this halloween journal style on LJ and just had to use it for my journal. It rocks!)

Thanks to retail always jumping the gun stores are already in full swing for Halloween. It's my most wonderful time of the year, even though I no longer go trick-or-treating. For me it's all about the horror movies and TV shows! Which reminds me: my favorite ( Read more... )

I got a (very) surprising burst of inspiration over the weekend. As I’ve mentioned in a few earlier entries, I’ve recently become hooked on the manga/manhwa series, March Story, by Kim Hyung-Min & Yang Kyung-Il. It’s a fantasy/horror series with absolutely gorgeous (yet oftentimes gory) artwork. Well, with the Halloween season’s horror-fests ( Read more... )
