Happy Birthday Daniel (and Peter Jackson)!
Happy Anniversary Reasons!
I have no candy or costume and will be hiding with the lights out tonight, but happy Hallowe'en even so.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I recently (like, this week) learned that I have been pronouncing Samhain wrong in my head for forever.

How've you been pronouncing it? It's the Irish word for November, so any other pronunciation than the one I know would be weird and exotic to me.

Happy Birthday, Daniel C. Jensen!
Happy Anniversary, House of Reason!

Happy Halloween!
backflung, d.
um. ok - we have managed to find one babysitter that sproglet seems excited about seeing, though she's @#@!@ 'spensive and we don't do it that much. Still, she seems pretty cool. except that she just mass-forwarded this (and included us on the email):
An athiest is trying to convert your young family members ... [link] check this link for more info and proof. This is about the new children's movie 'Golden Compass' which is about to be released starring Nicole Kidman. The release in our theaters is set for December 7, 2007. The movie is from a trilogy of books written by an atheist with the intent of persuading young children into believing in his anti-religious views. I understand that in the end of the trilogy, the children kill God and everyone can then do as they please.
um. Do I email her back and say 'please respect the fact that ...' or just ignore it?

What is Samhain? I know the word but not what it means.
eta: except that it means November in Irish.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Do I email her back and say 'please respect the fact that ...' or just ignore it?
I would e-mail her back, but I have little tolerance for fear-mongering, pre-judging, and mass-emailing.

It's Hallowe'en in Irish too. I think in ye olde days it was a festival for the beginning of winter.
ETA - what Dana said about the e-mailing.

She's a teenager, right? It's a good time for her to learn about netiquette (don't like that word!). Perhaps you can explain, nicely, that not everyone thinks the same and regardless, you try to keep your inbox limited to actual information only.
