HALLOWEEN!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtyJbIOZjS8


Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize yawls neighbourhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpses shell
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller
(mwa ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaa)

Today's blog is all about the glorious holiday Halloween, otherwise known as All Hallows Eve, The Day of the Dead, Samhain, El Dia de Los Muertos, etc. etc. etc. Next to Christmas it is my all-time favorite holiday! I know I've already said some of this in my last blog but it deserves to be repeated due to the fact that I love this holiday ever so much! And now, here are some reasons why I love it so much!

Costumes:

I love dressing up in a costume! Yeah, tradition is part of it but mostly because of the artistic aspect of it. It is the one day you are allowed to transform yourself into something that you are not. The shy, reserved Steph can turn herself into a diva on this one special day. If you walk around with fairy wings and black face paint in the middle of March you can be arrested for disturbing the peace. If you wander around in a vampire cloak during the scorching heat of summer you'll probably be committed. But all the rules change on Halloween. The barriers of social mores are broken. Up is down, black is white, and so forth. It's awesome!!!

Now, I honestly don't understand how people DON'T dress up on Halloween! What is their reasoning? "I never know what to be?" WHAT??? That's ludicrous! You can be anything you want! And it doesn't have to cost a lot of money. Raid your parents' closet or dig around in your basement. You can come up with something if you just give it a little thought. It isn't hard, trust me!

Bottom line

DRESS UP!!!

Fear:

Fear is something that lasts the whole year but I see Halloween as a night to embrace your fears? (Wigga what?) Yeah, you heard me. You can stare your fear in the face and say, "Hey, you don't scare me tonight. It's Halloween!!!" I think those that truly get in to the spirit of Halloween find themselves on the same side as fear. OK, so that might be really lame, but I totally believe in the idea of it. Besides, fear is a totally normal emotion, and that's what's so great about it. However, if you truly are scared on Halloween, it is completely acceptable to be so.

Treats:

CANDY!!! REESE'S, SNICKERS, CHOCOLATE!!!!!!
Need I say more?

But no candy corn, please. Yuck!

Day before my birthday:

Ti's true, Halloween is "Steph's Birthday-eve". Perhaps that is reason enough why I enjoy this holiday. It is often been, for me, two days worth of parties, and who wouldn't like that? I don't know what else to say--it's just freakin' sweet!


Now I shall close by wishing everyone a Happy Halloween! Embrace the night, be safe, DRESS UP, and, most of all, HAVE FUN!!! Halloween=FUN, remember that!

Ramblings about October

I have always liked the month of October. The leaves change, the weather begins to get chilly, and everyone is anticipating the second best holiday of the year--HALLOWEEN! Not only is Halloween a freakin' great holiday in and of itself, but my birthday is the day after. I am one of the few people I know that has two days worth of partying like that. (It's pretty sweet--but I am actually going to talk more about it later on.) October is a good month, unlike stupid September.

Anyway, despite all that goodness, there are a couple of things about this month that I despise. I don't like it when the weather yo-yo's like it's been doing. Yo-yo-ing is a September thing, NOT October. Seriously, it SNOWED today and it'll (apparently) be in the 70s later this week. What's that about? NOT COOL (ha ha, literally). My point is that when October rolls around we are all supposed to be ready with our jackets and sweaters with all our summer gear stored away for the winter. That's just the way it is supposed to be!

The second thing I hate about October is BASEBALL!!! I don't watch baseball and I think it is a boring sport unless you are playing it. However, I wouldn't mind it being on TV except for the fact that IT IS ALWAYS ON FOX WHEN THE SIMPSONS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ON!!! There are certain days when I really need a "Simpsons Fix" but in October I am always denied BECAUSE OF STUPID BASEBALL!!! Ohhhh, that just annoys me so much!!!

Now, this doesn't always happen, but the overall October experience gets assaulted by the dirty games of the Presidential Election. I'm sure it would be unnecessary to tell you that this year has been ESPECIALLY dirty! Frankly, I am so sick of hearing about it I could very well hurl myself off of a bridge--in a sense. (And the sad thing is I haven't really been THAT involved in it at all.) I wish we could just have it next week just to get it over with. I kind of hate the fact my birthday will be spent still being annoyed and stuff.

The thing that bugs me the most about this month are the people who think they need to start thinking about Christmas! Now, this may be a topic for a future blog, but you should NOT PUT UP CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS OR START "CELEBRATING" CHRISTMAS UNTIL AT LEAST THE DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING!!! I know people who put up their stuff on my birthday. THAT IS WRONG!!! Thanksgiving is a very, very important holiday that is frequently overlooked (again, another blog topic for sure). But it is incredibly ridiculous when people and especially stores start putting out the Christmas stuff NOW!!! Last year at JC Penney the company made us have Christmas decorations up ON Halloween. I mean, the store was decorated for Christmas ON HALLOWEEN!!! You know how SICK that is? UGH!

CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN PEOPLE! HALLOWEEN IS AWESOME!!! AND DRESS IN A COSTUME FOR PETE'S SAKE!!!

But now, as a final thought, I just want to reiterate the fact that I like October very much. It's a good transition month. We just got over the craziness of the summer and we still have a little time before the madness of the end of November and December. It may be hard with all the ugly stuff going on, but let's all try to take a breather this month. I think it may help us all!

Oh no, she's done it again!

Okay, Here’s What I Know as of Now

By Stephanie Summers

The hurricane has passed
The mighty storm has ceased
And all the rage has left me
****And as I survey the damage of the terrible
*******winds and rain
****I can only blame myself
****For the broken fences, toppled trees, scattered
*******shingles, and caved-in roofs
To say the very least

I created the storm
My feelings were enflamed
I fed kindling to the spark
****And now I sit here filled with immense
*******sorrow and guilt and pain
****The immature one, is me
****I let myself turn into one of those crazy
*******drama queens on TV
I’m so very ashamed

I stand now in rubble
Of the friendship I’ve killed
I look around, I ask it,
****I never should have used the word “Hate”;
*******it is such an ugly word
****I do not hate you, my friend
****I hate myself. I just unfairly put a target on you,
*******and fired
I beg it to rebuild

Those words I can’t unspeak
Have stabbed me in the heart
I took the time to sculpt them
****I thought I was being so clever with the
*******words I chose to use
****"Ha, ha, that’ll show him!”
****My heck, what is WRONG with me?
*******Seriously, no wonder I’m dateless!
Into that fiery dart

Revenge is no answer
“Getting even” is dumb
I thought it would give relief
****I admit I reveled in the thought of you getting your
*******heart torn
****Something some would call Karma
****But that’s not very Christian (literally) and I know
*******it is wrong
Instead it made me glum

It’s still true, you’ve hurt me
In much more ways than one
I do not think you meant it
****Because I have always known that you are
*******a good man. Yes, you are!
****That is why I once liked you
****And I should learn to be grateful for friends,
*******‘cause I’m lucky to have them
Besides, what’s done is done

The thing that hurt the most
Is that you lied to me
You kept all that a secret
****You said something like,
*******“I’m just not ready to date anyone now.”
****Then you asked her on a date
****One thing you’ve gotta know, girls talk to their friends,
******* always keep that in mind!
That’s SO not cool, you see?

Whether “He” is out there
Or whether “He” is not
Should not coincide with friends
****By “He” I mean “Mr. Right”, my future spouse,
*******the one who’ll love me
****Right now I doubt he exists
****After all I have done I don’t deserve somebody
*******to love me back
Though that happens a lot

I’m sorry I hurt you
And that I said those words
I don’t think you are a freak
****I don’t regret writing the poem
*******I just regret that I posted it
****That was hateful and cruel
****I know a lot of people don’t read my words, but you did,
*******I know it
There’s nothing wrong with nerds

I guess that I am sick
I know that I’m a fool
I need to be back on track
****It’s frustrating; I’ve already climbed a mountain,
*******now there’s one more
****Can’t my road ever be smooth?
****Yeah, yeah, “The Road Less Travelled”, I get it.
*******That is what I REALLY get!
Not a butt of a mule

To “Anon”, as you’re called,
To you, just this I’ll say
Thank you, thank you for your verse
****Although, I am pretty sure I know who you are anyway,
*******friend
****Can I still call you a friend?
****Your poem made it sound like I can,
*******but I would rather hear it first hand
You’ve helped me on my way

I wrote a poem yesterday

I wrote a poem yesterday

Here it is...

I Get it Now

By Stephanie Summers

Now it all makes sense
Now it’s all quite clear
All I thought I knew
Has just gone from here
It was all a game
You made me the pawn
I guess I should have
Seen it all along
The clues were right there
Inches from my face
I was blind to them
(And that’s my disgrace)
How could you do this?
What went through your head
As you broke my heart
And left it for dead?
Did you truly think
I would not find out?
Are you that stupid?
I guess there’s no doubt!
I feel foolish
I am hurt and sad
But most of all I
Feel VERY MAD!!!
It may sound silly
Or it may sound dumb
But right now I don’t
Want some peace to come
I want the anger!
Even at my age
I think I deserve
To feel some rage
Give me this moment
Give me time to speak
Let me say the words,
“I HATE YOU, YOU FREAK!!!”
I may not mean it
As time passes by
But at this moment
“Hate” is not a lie
Don’t you dare, don’t think
I’ll be used again
I’m MUCH smarter now
Hear that? All you men!
Stop all of your games
Stop all of the lies
I have had enough
Of immature guys!

You know what I like about having my own blog? It's MY OWN BLOG! I love the power and the responsibility of it (Yeah yeah, Spider-man, I know...)

I am not here to please anyone. I am just a girl who likes to write. I could care less if you like what I write or even dislike it. It's my blog. You don't like it, don't read it. But either way it'll still be here.
