Happy Halloween 2012!

Hope everyone is having a happy and safe Halloween~!

I hope that everyone affected by Hurricane Sandy is doing ok...  ><

It turned out to be quite frightful!!

------------------------

Being the anti-social person that I am, the only celebrating for this holiday that I ever do is online-related, and usually on sites or games.  Unfortunately, I was extremely pressed for time this year and couldn't participate in anything much, just got sample tastes of events on Gaia Online, Eden Eternal (which I downloaded again since my boyfriend got caught in an "auto-renew AP" trap), and my two current iPod app addictions, Happy Street and Tiny Farm.  And of course, having fun seeing some of the cool costumes and pumpkin carvings on Pinterest, Brit + Co., and Imgur~

Wish that I had more time to do the Gaia Halloween event... ><

Halloween candies in Tiny Farm

...Just when I thought that the horses couldn't get any uglier...

Even though I've been trying to get the special dracula cow, I have
to visit other people's farms to see the other Halloween animals.

The pumpkin that wins Halloween, the one pumpkin to rule them all!

Paint your pumpkins with black chalkboard paint and decorate them with white or colored chalk.
Must try someday!

Not one for pumpkin carving, but I definitely would consider

doing and LED light pumpkin, they're so pretty!

My favorite political costume idea this Halloween :  Binders full of women!

Super cool spider sculpture that I saw on one of Etsy's articles!

 Last, but not least, the highlight of this Halloween, the latest installment 

of my new favorite YouTube video series, Cooking with Arpakasso~! 

Only Half Dead

Lo and behold, this blog (and me) is not dead!  You were probably thinking of rifling through my pockets, weren't you?  Sorry to disappoint!  I'm only half-dead!

Miracle Max: He probably owes you money huh? I'll ask him.
Inigo Montoya: He's dead. He can't talk.
Miracle Max: Whoo-hoo-hoo, look who knows so much. It just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do.
Inigo Montoya: What's that?
Miracle Max: Go through his clothes and look for loose change.

★★★★★★★★★★★★★ PRP ★★★★★★★

My health has been bad.  Very bad.  Worse than my usual bad.  Almost as bad as my finances.  Which may or may not actually be in a better state than my health, actually.  Hm.  So anyway.  In an attempt to help myself get better or be able to afford to buy the somewhat pricy health food, herbs, and supplements that I want to try, I've been putting a lot of time and effort into listing my inventory online, on eBay and Etsy alike.  I will appreciate all the support and business that I can get!  So thank you to my friends and customers for helping to keep me alive! ; o ;

★★★★★★★★★★★★★ deviantART ★★★★★★★ 

OH MY GOODNESS.  I am so, so, so stoked to have been featured in deviantArt's DELVE webzine, I never even knew that such things existed!  They were kind enough to include my Angry Birds Space amigurumi fanart plush on page 5, their themes were Space and Happiness, and though an unusual combo, the result is an amazzzzing issue!  Check it out~!

★★★★★★★★★★★★★ DIY PROJECTS★★★★★★★

So.  Anyone who pays even the slightest bit of attention to my posts on Facebook would be able to tell that I've been addicted to Pinterest.  My boards (especially my DIY and Craft inspiration boards) have grown exponentially since I've joined.  I can't answer texts from even my beloved boyfriend until I've finished scrolling to the bottom of a category (unless the iPod app crashes).  We truly are in the age of DIY and crowdsource sharing!  I love sites like Pinterest because the best of the internet is all in one place, in a visual form that I can skim through, and there's always new things to see! That's how I discovered Brit + Co.

Speaking of nifty blogs, my friend recently showed me a charming one, The Burlap Bag, which inspired me to give my lone avocado seed in my windowsill some friends!  Now I have a very charming lineup, and I change their water every other day.  Here is the progress, the green onions and carrot flourished overnight (though, to be fair, the carrot was already sort of growing when I took it out of the bag)!  I was stunned!
