crystalcazzieHappy Halloween, everyone!
I carved my pumpkin on Saturday while watching Strictly Come Dancing and drinking wine. Maybe that's why he looks so happy:
Such a happy pumpkin.
He's currently sitting by the front door, ready to welcome any trick-or-treaters who might come by. So far no-one has appeared, possibly put off by the rain, but the night is still young.
I went to Starbucks earlier and tried a pumpkin spice latte. I was a bit wary at first but it was actually really nice. When I got home I made bat cookies and now I'm drinking a jack-o-lantern cocktail. It's quite strong and I still have to make dinner later. Hopefully I'll be able to stay upright.
I'm also dressed up, complete with witch earrings and Elphaba necklace. I mention this because no one else is. I'm really the only person in my family who gets excited about things like Halloween and Christmas. Clearly I need to get some children. Or find some friends who live close enough that I can force them to celebrate with me.
In other news, it's November tomorrow and that means I have to decide if I want to do NaNoWriMo and/or NaBloPoMo this year. I'm pretty certain that I won't be able to write 50,000 words, but I'm thinking it might be good to try and write something. And I hardly ever come on LJ any more, so NaBloPoMo might be difficult to achieve. Or it could be my triumphant return. I see I'm not alone in drifting away from this site though, so if I do end up posting every day I'll probably end up filling your friends pages with nothing but my pointless ramblings.

Awesome pumpkin BTW, but where's the Doctor Who themed pumpkin? I challenge you for next year to do a Doctor Who themed pumpkin next year!

Yeah, after I carved it I thought I should have done a Doctor Who one. It might take more skill than I have, but I'll have to remember to give it a shot next year!

Date: 2012-11-01 06:53 pm (UTC)Oh my god, thank you! Thank you so much! Winning an award like this is all I've dreamt about since I was a little girl, carving pumpkins by lamplight in Dickensian London. I always knew that if I worked hard, one day my dreams would become a reality. But the real thanks have to go to my two beautiful children, and the circus I sold them to, as without that income I never would have been able to afford carving tools. And Satan, of course. Always by my side, even when I doubted myself he kept me strong.
No, no, don't play the music. Oh, there are just so many people I have to mention. Frank, Joe, Billy-Bob, um, that guy down the pub. If I've forgotten anyone I'm sorry. Thank you, thank you all!
