You can never have enough spooky sound CDs...

[matrixrefugee]

...While I was in Lowell today, taking care of library business, I ordered an old but good album of spooky classical music, "Fright Night: Music that Goes Bump in the Night", as well as -- don't kill me -- Martha Stewart's "Spooky Sounds for Halloween": it's actually a pretty good album with great, high-quality sounds (albeit that it's a loop of a twenty minute cut: still, it's good if you just want to stick the disc in the player and hit the "repeat" button; I just might do that with my "mom's" Mustang, if she'll let me).

And I also ordered the blessed salt. Let's hope it comes by Hallowe'en, so I can ward the burying ground near my house.

I also took another poke at my Christmas shopping, but of course I can't say who I got what for...

That odd "Bloody Mary" urban legend was the spook of the week on "Supernatural", with echoes of "The Ring" and "Constantine" thrown in for good measure. I remember my friend "Wehnona" (not her real name) being hung up on that legend: she went through a spook phase that lasted most of her grade school years. At that time, I wasn't keen on spooks, since they, well, spooked me. By the time we got to high school and we started moving apart, she got out of the spook stuff and started getting into sports... and I started getting into the spooky stuff, mostly as a reaction to the inner and outer demons I was beginnging to discover.

The sporkage continues on *that* fic... I've been reading some of the later chapters: I can't let out too much, but one of my "Matrix" fic peeves shows up in it. GRRR!!!!! His Snideness is not pleased. Nor am I. ::Loading mini-sporks into her M16s::

Good ol' Bloody Mary! There are many ways to conjure her up and many stories... My favorite is the one where you splash water on the mirror and call her name. Rumor has it that the water is supposed to turn to blood and she lures you into her realm...

Anyway... *Pokes* Wanna be LJ buddies? I've seen you on many communities and we have a lot of the same interests and stuff! Your username rules btw!

Stare into the mirror in a dark room and say her name three times...


Ahh, the good old days, before the REAL demons started showing up. *sigh.*

::Blushes:: Thanks! I've been using this username everywhere online for the past five years, so it practically counts as a real name. I've even let a few well-trusted people call me "MR" in real life.

::LJ-friends you:: I'd be honored to be your LJ buddy!

I better get my digital ass on over to GAFF again, eh MR?

Heh, heh, heh... yeah: there's more where that sporkage came from, and I've still got 29 chapters to get through. If I wasn't having so much fun MST'ing each chapter, I'd get done with the dumb thing and steam-roller through it, focussing on the highlights (low-lights?) which include, but certainly are not limited to:

--The Chapter That Consisted Mostly of Clothing Descriptions (which made Flood start drooling)

--The Author's BullshiitNote That Took up Half Another Chapter.

--The GLARING Computer Illiteracy Bit

Tonight's sporkage will be up later...

[he-dreams-awake.livejournal.com]

Computer illiteracy, eh? COnsidering what I do for a living... can you believe that 'htims' once told me that I ought to let Teh Authoress 're-do truthofthespoon', because she was a 'gifted designer and web programmer'? *shakes head.* She thought she could improve on my design.

Speaking of which, I need to get back over to Rentacoder...



And RE: the sporkage, I went over and added my two cents to yours...

[matrixrefugee.livejournal.com]

Why do I have the ghastly mental image of TotS either crashing and burning horribly, or being completely fluffy-fied if Teh Authoress had redone it?

[he-dreams-awake.livejournal.com]

*shudder* Oh God, don't even joke.


Oh! Remind me, I WILL put up your card for the Merv SOMEtime tonight.

And if you want us to call sometime soon, just let us know!

Ugh. I smoked two and a half packs yesterday. Life imitates art imitates life imitates... because you'll never GUESS what they're trying to scare me with now... *lights another one just for the hell of it*

[matrixrefugee.livejournal.com]

Oh! Remind me, I WILL put up your card for the Merv SOMEtime tonight.

Ooh... please do! I've been looking forward to that. Someone's been making similar cards over on GAFF, and my name's on their waiting list.

First Rough Version

T'Ain't great yet, but I owe you one, my friend, and I wanted to show you I do keep my promises. So:

Tres bien... ::Tackle-snogs you::

Re: First Rough Version

[he-dreams-awake.livejournal.com]

Exceptttt... there's a typo. *kills self.* I was typing 'Choice' in an IM, and it got into the card. *laughs.* ME, misquoting Merv. I'll never hear the end of it.


*will fix it shortly.*

Re: First Rough Version

[matrixrefugee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and *I* have to put up with him yarking about it... though Flood found the typo -- and his superior's reaction to it -- inordinately funny.

Re: First Rough Version

[he-dreams-awake.livejournal.com]

*facepalm* Apologize for me. I've got a wanna-be redpill in IM, trying to convince me of 'how talented and useful they are', and not understanding my saying, "Well, I have eleven IMs open and am working, can you please hold up a second?" Oi. I'll fix it in a bit, and make it up to Merv... and NOT in any way the fangirls might enjoy, kthanx.

Re: First Rough Version

Fixed!! *see above: it was uploaded under the same name.* My apologies for the typical Anderson coding brain-cramp.
