The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

The LA Haunted Hayride was actually really fun. I realize now that the small to medium Halloween events are probably the most I can honestly do. These things are a sensory overload at times, and if we paid money to go to Knott's or Universal, or Six Flags, I don't think I'd have fun. I can't do constant strobe lights in my face, or heavy smoke from the smoke machines, or the uneveness of the ground I'm walking on. I twisted my ankle a bit in one of the mazes, and it made walking a bit annoying for the rest of the night. So yeah, smaller was definitely the way to go, and I'm glad Logan took that into consideration when he got us the tickets. I really enjoyed the scare actors at the event, they always make these things great. I don't get scared by people at these kinds of things. I think that stems from my own past experience working a Halloween event way back when at the Pomona Fairplex. Or, maybe I'm just old and people popping out of the dark doesn't bother me. And, they did such a great job, super into what they were doing, and you could tell how much fun they were having. Logan did get me a cute little bat named Boris, a super soft plush. So, that was nice. Overall, I really enjoyed it. The atmosphere alone was amazing, the lights in the trees, the darkness of Griffith Park overall, the haze from all the smoke machines. Logan and I really loved the ambiance above everything else. But yeah, super enjoyable. I'm wasn't at all disappointed with the evening.

I asked for spooky stuff to do, and Logan delivered. I had to sign a waver for the LA Haunted Hayride in Griffith Park. He got us tickets for Saturday night, and I'm super stoked and cannot wait! It looks like it'll be lots of fun, with mazes and things to do. I'm excited. This is the first time we'll actually be doing anything spooky related in the nearly 4 years we've been together.

Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day!


Because Christopher Columbus was a shit person who committed atrocities and literally never set foot on North America (he only set foot on South America). He didn't "discover" anything, as people were already living and existing in these lands before he ever showed up. So, fuck that guy.

It's really beginning to feel like autumn here in SoCal. The temperatures are dropping, the chilly breezes are kicking up, and rain! I wish the leaves changed here like they do in other places, but it's so gradual here due to how warm it is. At least, weather wise, it's really beginning to get that autumnal feeling. Also, the fact that it's getting dark earlier makes me so freaking happy. I'm like one of the few people I personally know who actually loves when it's pitch black outside at 5 PM. It just fills my little black heart up with joy.

These last three months are honestly my favorite time of the whole year. You go from Halloween to Día de los Muertos to Thanksgiving (although I don't technically celebrate Thanksgiving) to Christmas. I think, for Día de los Muertos, since it falls on a weekend I'm with Logan this year, I might take him to the cemetery where my great-grandmother, great-grandfather, and my great-uncle are buried and where my step-grandfather's ashes are interred. He's never been with me to visit my family, so I think it would be nice for him to "meet" them. And I haven't been to their graves since last year, so it's way overdue. It's just hard to get out to LA to visit them often, but I want to do more while I'm still here and able. It's these little things I always take for granted, because, for the motlst part, I've always been here. But with the move still happening, I won't always have this opertunity,so it's important for me to visit as much as I'm able, leave flowers, show that I love them all so very much and that they are missed.

You can add me to the list of people who loves when it is dark out at 5 pm. It is still warm here, which bums me out, but the leaves are starting to change and I've heard that perhaps next week we may start having the cooler temps. I can't wait! This last three months are also my favorite time as well.
