Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
muffins in the oven. subbed half the flour for whole wheat flour, subbed honey for half the sugar and then just cut half the oil.
trunk or treat is where people set up games and treat stations in the trunks of their cars in a parking lot, often times at churches. Considered a safer way to trick or treat and in a community of people that the kids already know.
Huh. I never knew that. Of course, it's damned sad that there's a need or that people feel there's a need to do that. I sure hope we extend that feeling of safety and community to more neighborhoods again. I have fond memories of being invited in for cider and for bobbing with apples and I know even in this safe small town that people probably can't even offer that anymore for fear of someone looking at them suspiciously.
We still trick or treat in the neighborhood. I'd have a hard time not feeling safe here, many of the neighbors are the same people whose doors I knocked when I was a kid.
There are not a lot of kids in our neighborhood and not many people have decorated, no idea what trick-or-treating will be like, but mac has already been to our churches Trunk or Treat and we will go to another churches' on Sunday. I don't feel like walking the neighborhood since we only know 3 or 4 people and I don't think but 2 of them would have stuff.
Yeah makes sense, msbelle.
I really thought that I had matured past the point of procrastinating when it came to schoolwork. But, here I am again, just like I was when I was getting my bachelors, not starting my take-home midterm until 1:30 am the night/morning that it's due. At least I have it done now that it's 6:00 am!
I used the MARC catalog entry for Will the Vampire People Please the Lobby? for examples of variable fields and subject headings, which was fun.
Of course, it's damned sad that there's a need or that people feel there's a need to do that.
I don't think it's damned sad at all. Or no more damned sad than a Buffista F2F, because it comes out of the urge to celebrate with people who are part of a community to which you belong.
The trunk or treat at St. Bede's happens after mass (not that we go!) and the youth ministry has many cars decorated for a contest (scariest) and they have cider and cupcakes and music and games. It's like a church festival and it's open to the public. I thought it was pretty charming, especially because I HATE going house to house.
Fuck, I really need to start doing shit. If not work, at least laundry. OK, laundry.
One of my classmates is going to be at the Giannoulias rally tonight and since her sister is working for the guy's campaign, she's going to be standing on the stage about four feet from Obama.
