Well, it's Halloween once again.  I realize that I haven't been very good about posting, but my New Hallow's Eve resolution is to LJ more.  It helps me express what I'm feeling, and I need that right now since I can't possibly keep all these emotions bottled up inside.

But I digress.

Tonight's first topic:  Revealing Costumes.

I understand the appeal ( Read more... )

She wanted.  She wanted everything.  She wanted love, but she wanted so much more than that.  Love is an earthly feeling, she thought.  She wanted day and night.  She wanted the whole world, the whole universe, and nothing satisfied her.  She was hungry, she was thirsty.  She wanted to take life by the neck and squeeze the juice out of it.  She ( Read more... )

Today is the day when millions of kids troop from house to house dressed up as witches, vampires, ghosts, and pumpkins, and look cute in exchange for candy.
