So, here we are. Another year older, and a double digit year, no less. Double threes have to be lucky, yes? Perhaps. Perhaps I will make 33 lucky.
I've never really been a conformist. Or, I should say, I've never had too much trouble going my own way when I felt I ought, or going the way of the world if that seemed the right way to go. But the older I get, the less I care about labels or "supposed to" or things people tease me about. Tease away, I'm still going to be me.
So, out of the closet with it then:
-I bought an emerald green velvet cloak (it hasn't yet arrived, though). Not for Halloween, though I'm sure I shall wear it then. Not even because I'm still somewhat goth. Because I've always wanted one, damn it. I also bought matching fingerless gloves.
-I like fairies. Like the ones people draw with gauzy wings and such. I just wish magic was real, and sometimes I think it might be...
-Halloween will always be my favorite holiday. I can't get enough of crisp, spooky nights and haunted houses.
-I've got more vampire books that I have shelves for them. And a ton of films as well. And I just keep buying more.
A thousand thank yous to all the kind souls who came out and helped me celebrate, who made and/or bought me fabulous things, who provided CAKE (photos to come), and who sent well-wishes in any way, shape or form. You guys are the best.
