Had a nice, lazy halloween. Provided candy for trick-or-treaters.
Some kids seemed more interested in our giant glow-stick than the candy. One bold preteen even asked if he could have it.. a few times.

Also, children are very modest this year. O_O Most kids only picked one or two pieces of candy, even when we were welcoming them to grab a handful. One cute little toddler started reaching for the candy bowl and decided to grasp the glowstick instead. d'aww, rofl.

I have rediscovered the concept of japanese kumihimo braiding, and would like to actually attempt it now. Not that I have any of the necessary supplies.. but maybe sometime I can throw together some makeshift equipment (one of those little marudai circle thingies), practice with whatever string/yarn/etc. that I can find around the house, and see what comes of it.. one of these days.

It definitely looks engaging.


In less-than-desirable news, I have somehow dodged the menstrual-cramp bullet for the second month in a row. When usually it feels like getting hit by a truck. Not that I'm complaining about the relief, but I wanna know why it's different all of a sudden. ~3~;; rofl.

Doris: (reading Glamour magazine) Why did Natalie Portman have her name changed to Natalie Portman?

Me: She had her name legally changed to the same thing, just spelled with 1337-speak.

fffffffpplehhhhh

This message brought to you by boredom.

Well, my dad covered over my TV yesterday and will/has put it in the garage.. even though he wanted to dismantle it.

So I guess my TV has survived, for now.. at least in body. Dunno if function is still feasible to hope for. *crosses fingers* x:

Meh.. yeah..




I generally feel tied down, cramped up, forced into a corner, back against a wall..
Stress is eating me alive and I'm not allowed to have much of a taste of any relief.
I have no idea what I'm gonna do.
