Today's fragrance: Blue Snowballs, by BPTP."... because the holidays can be really, really frustrating. Blueberry slush with a hint of lime and blackberry juice."This is a fun little winter scent. It starts off as a strong blueberry, with a supporting background of snow. And this isn't cute, fluffy snow. This is high-pitched, shrieking, somewhat...er...frustrated......, snow. As it dries, the snow note calms down, and the blueberry fades into the odd but tasty combo of tart limes and...

Okay, sorry, I meant to post this earlier but life happened.Thanks to everyone who participated in the Yuletide Ghost Stories event. I know our turnout was small, but I hope everyone enjoyed the stories that were shared.Sadly, I don't think I'll be organizing another event. While a few people did "show", I just don't think it was enough to justify another such event. Oh well. :\

Tonight's perfume: Midnight Mass by BPAL."This perfume is a traditional Roman Catholic sacramental incense, most often used during a Solemn Mass. Traditionally, five tears of this incense, each encased individually in wax that has been fashioned into the shape of a nail, are inserted into the paschal candle. This is, of course, represents the Five Wounds of Our Risen Savior. Symbolically, the burning of the incense signifies spiritual fervor, the fragrance itself inspires virtue, and the ri...

Heads up, y'all! I'm extending the Yuletide Ghost Stories even through 11:59PM CST tomorrow. If you want to join in on the fun, please feel free to ask for an invite! Things have gotten off to a slow start, but we're not giving up yet! Come and share in the spooky stories!

I have created an event! Yuletide Ghost Stories (Part 1) is a trial for my event idea. I want us to post spooky, creepy, haunting ghost stories every Saturday leading up to Christmas Day. This tradition had fallen out of favor in recent history, and I want to revive it. If you're interested in participating, feel free to hit me up for an invite!And no, you don't have to make up the story yourself. It can be one you've heard before or one you find online or in a book. Come join in the spoo...

You know what would be fun? We should have an online ghost story telling session each week/weekend leading up to Christmas. Ghost stories used to be a huge part of Christmastime, but it has fallen out of favor.Anyone else like the idea?

I want to do a nighttime cemetery crawl soon. However, I'm far too chicken (braaawk, bawk bawk baawk) to go by myself. Sigh. T_T

I see this all the time in lists of first aid treatment, and, well...here's what I'm talking about:"When to see a medical professional-When the person is having trouble breathing, experiencing seizures, or unconscious."...if I saw someone in any of those states, my first reaction would be 911. Is it really not obvious to everyone that you should call for medical help if someone is KO'd, unable to breathe, and/or seizing? x_x

Scent of the day: Devil's Night 2014."Devil's Eve, Devil's Night, Gate Night, Trick Night, Mischief Night; whatever your name for it might be, the chaos is still the same. Contrary to popular belief, this festival of pandemonium isn't unique to Detroit. Falling on October 30th, it is an evening of mayhem and destruction. On the gentler side, it may be celebrated by practical jokes, an egging, Ding-Dong-Ditch, or enthusiastic TP'ing of your most hated neighbor's trees, and on the more violen...

Today's lesson is Moses and the Plagues. I really should have retitled that. It sounds like the worst band name ever.

Labyrinth is quite possibly the strangest movie I've ever seen. And that's INCLUDING Fantasia. Like, for real. o.O

Just as a general PSA, calling in to tech support and immediately starting off the call yelling "So are you gonna fix this, or am I just going to go to [competitor]" is NOT a good way to get help. The people you are speaking to are, in fact, people. They are not brainless robot slaves. They are also not doormats. Treat them with respect and you might get a lot more help.

At work, alternating between working on Old Souls and taking calls. Feeling oddly...contemplative tonight. Hopefully that helps my writing. (Also, this introductory chapter is boring as all get out. Good thing this is just the first draft!)

It may help to understand human affairs to be clear that most of the great triumphs and tragedies of history are caused, not by people being fundamentally good or fundamentally bad, but by people being fundamentally people.~Terry Pratchett, "Good Omens"

Alright, that's all the writing I can do tonight. I've reached a (not so) grand total of 3,108 words of my 50,000 goal. Only 46,892 to go, right? x_x

*yawn* Morning, all!
