in this town we call home
Just got back in to sweet Florida, but I'm not officially back because I have to run around doing stuff--and YET, it's meme time! It's fucking Halloween! I am sitting here in a Jack-O-Lantern shirt and a skull bandanna! Skeleton things normally around my house anyway have been gathered together! I made pumpkin boatmeal! Time to celebrate:
In honor of All Hallow's Eve, I'm inviting trick-or-treaters to my 'door.' Comment "trick-or-treat" to this post and...well, you know the drill. Treats can be anything that strikes my fancy (pics of fave actors or pairings, one sentence short fics, graphics, a few words why I'm glad to have you on my flist, etc. etc.). The more "houses" to visit the more fun it'll be, so go ahead, open your journal and help spread the fun!
I find the phrase "All Hallow's Eve" mildly pretentious unless you are from Salem or are an actual pagan, but whatever, I love it. One sentence fics are LAME: if you request snippets, I will give you 99 words or more--like a hundred calorie pack, but for fic! If you want a verse 'specific fic pack, say so! If you want pictures, say so! If you want anything, say random!
Basically, I don't believe that I should give you anything I want, because, hey, let's extend the analogy further: if I'm holding out a candy bowl, you can pick out the candy you're eying, and if you're fishing around in a candy sack I'm holding out, you can grope around blindly and try to find chocolate bars by feel. Don't tell me you blindly accepted whatever houses say fit to hand out. Kids are bastards: you totally tried to get all the tootsie roll pops and mini-snickers bars.
Remember that I'm Spanish and was raised highly syncretic and I did some time on the goth scene: Halloween is an event that goes on until All Soul's Day, baby. Therefore this post is open until Wednesday. And by the way: New Orleans was more or less everything I've ever dreeeaaammed of.
