Halloween, huh?

Well, it's that time of year again. Damn, but time flies. Hard to believe that it's almost November.

Anyway, no interesting news, other than a layer of fog last night thick enough to cut with a knife. But, with halloween coming up, it got me wondering something.

Do other Worlds celebrate our holidays? I mean, Halloween Town is kind of obvious, but what about Twilight Town? Do some cultural events transcend worlds? Does/did Traverse celebrate some holidays we don't? If you think about it, there's a lot we don't know, and just sort of take for granted.

Then, there's the matter of Samhain. From what little I know of the occult, barriers between the land of the living and the land of the dead are supposed to be weaker, right? What does this do to inter-world travel, if anything?

Well, that's enough of the serious stuff. I have the night off, even though I'm not planning anything more exciting then some time relaxing. Monday night kicks off a base-wide excercise, so I'm gonna pretty busy, then. Gotta get in as much relaxation as I can, mean time.

But, what about you guys? I can't be the only one thinking that this snuck up on me. Apart from Seph, anyway. That wasn't funny man. Not  at all.

I have been thinking of this ever since I thought of that prank.

What would you do if I really thought I was Sephiroth?

I can't help but feel that I'd be left to whatever fate that would result from my actions. Considering the first possible casualty if such a thing did happen... I believe I'd deserve it.

Happy Halloween! I can't wait to take Eli out this afternoon. He's gonna look so adorable. I couldn't find any little robes for him to wear that I liked, but I did find some fabric, so Hay Lin made him some. They're so cute. I know, I'm gushing, but what do you expect? It's my baby's first Halloween. Okay, so at nine months old he doesn't care, but still. More pictures for the scrapbook! We dressed him up last night to make sure everything fit well, and took some shots.

[Beware the Holy Child Eli tipped over on the couch, dressed as Yen Sid. He's missing his makeshift beard and the hat's falling off his brown hair.]

He was sitting up right before Jalen took that. Up until...ooh, half a second before, I think. Did it just to spite his father.

I'm more bouncy than I usually am today, not just because it's one of my favorite holidays. Stayed up kinda late with granddad watching a horror movie marathon, and ended up with this awful nightmare as a result, so I'm trying to squish it. Jalen was nowhere to be seen, my dog was hurt, and when I went into the bathroom to get gauze and antiseptic out of the medicine cabinet, there was another girl in the mirror. I can't for the life of me remember what she looked like, but I know it wasn't me. Scared me to death. Told Jalen about it over my cornflakes this morning, and he said he's not surprised. Next time granddad tells me not to watch the big, scary movies, I should listen. Someone ended up getting kicked under the table. He's right though, I'm not good with horror movies. Dunno why I even watch them, I end up hiding my face in my hands during the gory scenes.

I've still got some other stuff to do today before we go out, so I'd better shut up. Hope you guys all have a good time tonight! Watch out for the weirdos. Oh wait, that's us.
