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.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

Jesse, you and laundry are EPIC. Makes me laugh everytime you post. When you find a husband, you really should find someone who like doing laundry.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Well, what I meant by that is that it's a sad thing that people feel their neighborhoods aren't safe.
