So... tired. Ugh, it was one of those Mondays, you know how it is.

Discovered that I will not, in fact, have the house to myself this weekend. It's really disappointing (in fact, I'm actually kind of upset about it) because I had some plans, but - oh well. I'll just shift the stuff that I was planning up to the Friday night, and do everything in a slapdash halfassed way as always. Ugh.

Ah, well. No point in grumping about it.

Good things: Trick or Treat Exchange has been absolutely crazy; over 800 gifts in the collection at this time, and everyone has at least two gifts (which is amazing, considering the number of signups). Someone even hit the "one fic over 20k" part of the bingo square, wow. I'm really looking forward to reading everything, even though I won't be able to do so until late on Halloween night.

NaNo starts very soon. I plan to work on my Yuletide exchange fic. And buckets of self-indulgent nonsense. And who knows what else. (Feeling a little bit uninspired lately, but I'm sure once I start poking at things, it will help...)

Anyway. Last night I watched Near Dark (1987). If you're looking for some horror, and you like vampires, this might be a good one to try. It has a certain take that I don't see often (won't go into details - it'd be a spoiler), plus the southern USA setting is one that I don't usually come across for vampires - well, okay, I've seen plenty of canons with vampires in Louisiana, but not many with them in Oklahoma/Kansas/etc. ;p

Hmmm, Halloween tomorrow... I'm really looking forward to dressing up in my raven costume to hand out candy. <3 That'll be nice.

I plan to work on my Yuletide exchange fic. And buckets of self-indulgent nonsense.

This is pretty much my NaNo plan, too. So glad the Yuletide requests were out early this year.

[yuuago]

Yesss *_* I'm really looking forward to picking through the requests and seeing if there are any letter-less people I can write for. Writing treats = excellent use of NaNo time. :D

[straightforwardly]

Trick or Treat's been wild, hasn't it? I've been in such a flurry of excitement these past couple of days because of it. Bingo blackout! Everyone has a treat! And, apparently over half the people signed-up actually have at least three treats? Which is amazing. I'm so excited for reveals.

A raven costume sounds pretty awesome! Good luck with the NaNo writing. <3

And people have been STILL adding to the collection... It's getting bigger and bigger... xD

I haven't had time to read much so far, but my gifts were all amazing, I hope yours were as well!

[straightforwardly]

It's amazing. :D I've always loved Trick or Treat, but the sheer energy and enthusiasm this year has been something else.

My gifts were excellent too! I'm glad to hear that you've shared my luck there. <3 I'm actually working on a recs post for mine right now.

RAVEN

COSTUME

:O :O :O

I'm kinda sad we don't really celebrate Halloween here, but at least I will be meeting friends for a small geeky party. ONE DAY I will make an awesome costume, but until then my bear hat will have to do.

Enjoy your spoopy evening :D

xD My costume probably sounds cooler than it actually is - it's just a mask + black shawl. ...But it's a very nice mask.

I hope your geeky party went well~ My evening was pretty good, except for making myself sick from eating too much candy. xD
