'Tis Saturday; two days away from Halloween! I'm gettin' myself into da spooky spirit before Monday. Mom and me are watching Hocus Pocus tonight and she's taking me to Corpse Bride again tomorrow; BWAHA.

So mom not only exchanged going trick-or-treating for seeing CB, she also traded me giving up the bottom half of my Victoria costume for a CB pillow case, patch, and cute lil Victoria trinket box. (I took the lip goss out and have been keeping my earrings in it XD) It was for the best anyway, we were having trouble coming up with a way to make the dress look finished. ^_^;;

Everyone seems to know who I am though anyway. Last night at the Fall Festival, I saw a kid in an Emily costume. Now 'tis my duty as the volunteer at this thing to keep the kids entertained while they're waiting in line, so I joked "That's the girl that stole my fiancé from me!" and she answers in the cutest lil voice "YOU'RE DARN RIGHT I DID! XD" It was too friggen adorable. My favorite part though was when I said "at least I have a pulse XD" and she goes "EVERGLOT ISN'T IN THE PHONE BOOK!!!" I almost died laughing.

On the way home, 4 or 5 high school idiots were beating the snot out of each other in FRONT OF THE FRIKKEN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. I couldn't believe no one did anything. All it took was for one of the teachers to go "KNOCK IT OFF AND GET OFF THE CAMPUS!!!" and they ran away like lil gangster wannabes. I was slightly spooked by this, as I had a dream the night before of almost the EXACT SAME SCENE. We left while the principal went to look for them.

I couldn't be more proud of Squishy if I tried. She came on today, excited beyond belief, telling me that she tried out for Cats and she MADE IT!!!! The girl is truly amazing. She came home every night from dance telling me how sore she was, how difficult it was to pick up on some things, and how it made her exhausted.

But she saw what she wanted and she went for it. She spent three nights nervous beyond belief, but giving it all she had at the tryouts. She worked her skinny little butt off and never ONCE even CONSIDERED giving it up.

And she MADE IT. 'Cause of all her hard work, Squishy is dancing in her favorite muscial of all time. The excitment I feel for her is incomprehensible. Squishy, if you're reading this, I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!!! RAWK ON, GIRLY!!!

Lessee.... Ooh! I haven't talked about the RPG in awhile... Well we started the Corpse Bride RPG about three weeks ago... Our most recent plot, put in shortest terms possible, was a CB/Nightmare Before Christmas crossover in which Oogie makes one of his "bats" bite Victor who becomes a vampire. ('cuz Squish is evil) So of course, this doesn't go over well with Victoria because... it's kind of hard to make out with someone who wants to drink your blood I suppose. (Remember that, Sharon)

So if I recall correctly, over the last week he's bitten her TWICE and then finally somethin' snapped and the vamp kinda took control and killed her. So Victoria ended up in the Land of the Dead and told Emmy and BJ what was going on, and they took care of her until Victor was back to normal. (When he was, of course, feels insanely horrible for actually killing her.)

Right now we're going through Emily's life before she died. We think after that we're gonna go through a bit more of Stephen's (aka BJ's) life. Can we say Victoria/BJ FLUFF ANYONE?!?!!?!?! XD *explodes* Victor/Victoria will always be my favorite couple but Victoria/BJ has always been a nice second place for me. XD

I'll probably think of more stories to tell the second I log off of blogspot X_X Well, if I do, I'll make another post later today XD Until then, only you can prevent magical Owl-Ferrets!!!

Intentionally the subject box was supposed to say "fun-ness". Upon noticing the mispell, I decided it was funnier that way anyway. And it's great to make people confused.

Lessee.... what's going on in my life right now...

Well, I got about a million more spooky and fall things for my room, and I LOVE IT. Tim Burton rules; the dark blue-ish color scheme for Corpse Bride has surpsingly fit into my light orange and green room very nicely. I finally moved my bed back to where I had it before, so now I have a lot more room for dancing and the whole room just looks SO much better. (you're gonna DIE when you see it, Squish XD)

I finally got my Danny Elfman autograph framed, and it looks AWESOME. I was also up late doing a drawing of Victor and Victoria kissing that maybe took 3-4 hours to finish. I was really proud of it, and when I showed it to mom, she flipped. We got that framed too =)

Speaking of which, Squishy hath doth challanged me to a Nightmare Before Christmas act-off when we get together. Since she appears to be so confident, I'm afraid I must challenge her to Corpse Bride act-off as well. (BWAHA.)

Mom has finally decided that she's excited about seeing Corpse Bride, though we can't go till Halloween. (Waah) I'm still debating what to dress up as this year. While being Emily would totally rox00rs (pardon my chatspeek), I was thinking of being Boo from Monsters Inc. again.

But then again I'm bloody obsessed with this movie. So we'll see.

I had Mom listen to the soundtrack while we were out and about today. She LOVES it. I just think it's funny that I've listened to Remains of the Day maybe 5 times in front of her, and she still hasn't guessed that Emily's lover was Barkis. (Don't worry if you read that, Mom. I know you'll forget it tomorrow by lunchtime.)

My faith in humanity dropped another notch, on that note.

I was browsing deviantArt the other day looking for the Corpse Bride gallery, (On dA, a member has to start it up.) and was so dissapointed to find that JackandSally4eva (affectionately dubbed "Smut Writer") had gotten to it first. So the gallery is crawling with the most nastiest wanna-tear-your-eyes-out smut pics of, get this, Victoria and Barkis. I feel a rant coming on...

< CHI RANT >

If I may quote HouseMaster from ArfenHouse, "WTF?"

Victoria and Barkis?? I mean, BARKIS? The guy who marries girls, steals their money, and then kills them? The guy who at the end of the movie is clear on the fact that Victoria is broke but tries to keep her anyway under the claim that he can somehow profit with her? I watch that scene where Barkis holds that knife to her throat at the end now and all I can think of is Smut Writer. WHY does she watch this scene and see love? Honestly O_o;;

Squishy reported back to me that after asking her this, this was her response:

"I dunno... I like the idea of the big strong guy protecting the damsel in distress."

To which I had to do a double take, and google that clip again. I raaaaaan it back and forth to be sure that there was no possible way that she could have watched this scene, and mistaken Barkis for a worse-looking version of Victor.

Um, first of all, 'Barkis' and 'protecting' do not go in the same sentence, unless it's "Victor was protecting Victoria FROM Barkis". Otherwise, it's gramatically inccorect XP Second of all, upon watching the clip again, I'm still amazed that that was her response. Since when does 'protecting' mean 'threaten to kill your fiancee if you come any closer'?

My brain melted when I read that response. I will seriously injure myself trying to find logic in that statement.

Well I finally found a copy of Gone With the Wind today. I need to start reading it. Mom said if we watch an hour a day, she'd like to see the movie too.

Poor Daddy is sick =( So he hasn't been able to do much with us lately.

Before I leave, I must leave you with this link. If you haven't seen ArfenHouse, do it NOW. --->

P.S. I have just been informed by Hito that the word of the day is "Grandma". Good to know.
