Death Before Disco

Today I spent several hours driving around Southern California on the hunt for more Halloween items. Sadly, I'd either already seen everything that was out, or purchased it already. I'm itching for when the sun goes down earlier, I can wear a coat out, and Halloween is more readily available. I don't even like candy corn, and I've been craving it. I think I shall try to make some pumpkin muffins to squelch the candy corn pangs.

"Death Before Disco" by My Chemical Romance premiered at the aforementioned Roxy shows. Here is a clip of not the greatest quality, but at this point, I'd take anything from them.



Isn't it funny that today is friendship day? I've had my phone off, attempting to shut out the world. Not feeling very friendly, but perhaps those pumpkin muffins shall put me in a better mood, if it isn't too hot to turn on the oven, that is.

I think my time may be better spent working on my paper mache pumpkins that I've recently started. Like all good ideas, they've been thrown out in the back yard and forgotten. Time to resurrect them? Perhaps.

Pumpkin Crazy... or Just Crazy

It's scary the amount of Halloween purchases I've been making this week. I may have a bit of the "shop to feel better" disorder. Honestly, who doesn't in some way? .:: ROSS ::. has Halloween out and they've been selling these adorable Department 56 pumpkins at $6.99 each. On ebay they sell for about $70 so I figure it's a huge steal. However, I now own 5 of them. Did I need 5? No. But did I need 5? Absolutely. I have a hard time saying no to Halloween.

Tonight I will be missing another My Chemical Romance show and instead heading off to a friend's birthday. I've just arrived home from work and have no idea what to wear, so of course I have clothes all over the floor now. I'll probably just wear a black dress (my usual color) and hope I can get myself in a better mood before tonight. Sadly, no one understands my concert turmoil, because to most people, my closest friends included, it's just another show and another band. If only anyone got that this is a life or death matter.

Okay, sounding waaay emo there but I am pretty emotional today. Staring at the MCR tattoo on my wrist isn't helping and I wish it wasn't so hot or I'd wear long sleeves and cover it. Here's hoping tonight involves lots of drinking and perhaps some peanut butter cheesecake.

So Long and Goodnight... err Welcome

Well, I never thought I'd break down and start blogging, but here I am. 2009 has definitely been a strange year so far, and I figure writing more isn't going to hurt.

That's right, I'm a writer. Me and everyone else out there. I mostly write young adult in an urban fantasy setting, but I read everything. Currently I'm trying to get through Dracula, which shockingly I've never read in it's entirety. I'm also picking at Hunted by PC and Kristin Cast, and old fairy stories from William Butler Yeats.

Tonight I've decided I have to get out of the house because I will be missing my favorite band of all time, My Chemical Romance, perform at the Roxy in LA. If I stay home, most likely I will pull all of my hair out and curse at the universe for not getting tickets. Let's hope tomorrow is a better day.
