I gotta stop apologizing for my long absences here; the more I promise that they won't happen anymore, the more I drop off the face of the internet. It's all good stuff, real life demanding my attention/eating my brain, but I miss hanging out with people here. Know that I'm still reading even when I don't post.
Does anybody want to read and give me critical feedback on a poem? It's sexualized horror, and as such I don't want to post it, even under a cut, much less try sending it anywhere, before I get some reactions and ask some questions about it.
On another note, if the anon who responded to the Louisa Jo Killen post is still out there: I'm sorry I left it for so long, but I've unscreened your comments, and I'd be glad to hear from you. Send me a message via the LJ message-box and tell me where to get back to you.
Ghost tours continue apace, and
kestrell bought me a crystal ball to use in character as Madame Aurelia! It's gorgeous, about the size of a grapefruit. I need to make it a bag worthy of its beauty.
Here is an overview of the State of the Teeny, in one rambling sentence: the job hunt continues and there are no definite offers yet, living history lives, ghost tours are delightful and I'm trying to ramp up my act a little more, the Schmutter Barn is still a good gig, I've taken up blues dancing and love it, I'm considering starting dating again (pray for me), the caroling performance group has its first rehearsal tonight for a series of performances in December, and next month is October and October is Halloween season.
I love Halloween and I intend to make it last all autumn. Horror movies with Kestrell and others, the ghost tour, a Halloween-themed concert with
negothick, and a jackton of playing dress-up, making candy, and partying. What are you all looking forward to this season?
