The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

You know, I've loved living where I live, growing up in Southern California and experiencing the life I've experienced because of that. However, I am so ready to leave this all behind and start fresh in Texas. Away from the overcrowding, away from all the people and the cars and the noise and the pollution. To live on a couple hundred acres of peace and quiet, where my closest neighbors aren't really all that close. I'm tired of smelling pot when I'm in my bedroom because someone outside is smoking it, I'm tired of the noise of the cars on the busy street behind my home, the echos of the freeway on a quiet night. I'm tired of my neighbors... Fuck am I tired of my neighbors. I just want to get away from here. I want to live a quiet life with Logan, away from other people. I know the time frame isn't that long, but it still feels like forever until it will happen.

How exciting and I myself and my family are moving back home to the country before Christmas. We are looking forward to moving back to peace and quiet again.

I was debating if I wanted to take part in the Halloween profile contest. I wouldn't just do an alteration of existing images for it, it would have to be a full layout, much like the Alice in Wonderland one I created way back when for the site wide profile contest Cancer did. But, I don't know. It's a lot of work to design and then have to code and I just don't have that kind of patience anymore. Maybe I will. Halloween isn't my favorite holiday, but it's up there and I haven't done anything festive for spooky season outside of watching Casper once. Maybe. I'll see if Logan has any ideas.

:) Well you know I am for you doing it.

Or maybe write something? Poems, story?

I have considered it as well, but the time it takes me to make my graphics and then code it all... I have just not had it. I have been busy and not able to find the time to even begin! Sighs... I have it mapped out in my head... but that is doing me NO good. lol

I was thinking something Haunted Mansion themed, since it's one of my favorite rides at Disneyland, and I absolutely loved the new movie they put out this year. But yeah, it takes a lot of time to put the images together and then code everything. So I'm just not sure. And since I'm with Logan the next two weekends, all that free time I would have had is gone. Things to think about, though.

I've gotta say, I'm over these 95+ degree days. It's mid-October, it's autumn, how 'bout we make it feel like that? I don't want another 87 degree Christmas Eve, another 80+ degree Thanksgiving.

If I was certain either his or my car could make the nearly 300 mile drive to Vegas without having some kind of trouble, I'm pretty sure Logan and I would be married right now. It started with a joke, something about marriage, something about just going to Vegas and eloping, because that's what my parents did. Then it became less of a joke, because neither of us bluff when we say we'd marry one another. I'd marry him right now if he asked and had an officiant. And he wants to marry me, so... Yeah. We could have been hitched on Saturday, haha. Maybe when he gets his Charger. I'm not saying my Versa would die in the desert, it's been good since getting the repairs, but that's not really a gamble I want to make.

In other news, we watched both The Fall of the House of Usher and the new Goosebumps over the weekend. Usher was amazing. It's Mike Flanagin, and I enjoy his works, so I didn't think he'd disappoint. And he definitely didn't. I'd put it right up there with Hill House in how good it was. I'd actually put it above Hill House, if I'm being honest. I enjoyed the way he tied Poe's works into the story, each death representing one of his works. I liked the way he portrayed death, very Sandman-esq. All in all, a very solid show with a very strong cast and amazing story telling. Goosebumps on the other hand... Maybe it's my age, but I hate every "child" in that show. And I know I'm not the target audience at all, but man, it's not a fun watch. It's not bad, but it's really not good. I'd say a solid C, mediocre. I hate how it's all one big plot line and not just an anthology of the books. I feel like that would have been better. Because they're taking very surfice level takeaways from the stories they do use, and it's kind of annoying. So yeah, Usher is a highly recommended watch, and Goosebumps is an ehh, if you have some time to kill, I guess kind of watch.

I get the next two weekends with Logan, which is going to be nice. I feel like we should do something Halloweenie on the 28th, but everything spooky themed is expensive in LA and not really worth it to me. I'd love to have been able to go to Knott's or Universal, but not for the price of the tickets, and then food, and gas to get there, and all that... Plus the long lines and such. It's just not worth it. Maybe we'll just go do mini golf again like we did last year. That was fun.

I am the opposite. I am not a huge fan of the House of Usher. But liked Goosebumps. :) Hope you find something to do, within reason. And wow, it is cool you both know marriage is going to happen. I wish you both the best. And a dependable car soon. ;)

I haven't had to deal with my back pain in a while, but of course it would really start acting up after yesterday. Though now it's my back and neck because my body hates me. I am not into this whole getting old thing, where stuff hurts because you streached wrong... This was most likely from picking up the kids and the cleanup after the party, but man, it sucks. It was a good while since I've had to deal with the pain being this bad.

Oh man, it's been a day. The party went really well, the kids had fun in the pool and the bouncer and on the waterslide. Gwen wore her little princess dress and her fairy wings, it was super cute. The one drawback for everyone was the heat. It was nearly 100 degrees today. And it's so stupid, it was in the mid 70s last week, and it'll drop back down after the weekend, so, this was like the one final weekend where it would be this warm. But everyone had fun, despite the heat, so that's always good. It was really nice seeing my cousins and my aunts and uncles. Its been some time since I had seen my mom's side of the family. It did suck not having Logan there, but such is life. I'm just glad to be home and relaxing. Kids take a lot out of you.

I'll never understand people who scream from the rafters how much they hate a place, yet continue to pour money and time into said place. Lord knows if I dislike a place, I sure don't stick around to whine to everyone how horrible the place is.

VR is what you make of it, always has been. If you find it so toxic, maybe you should take a look at yourself and ask why you're allowing it to be so toxic for yourself.

Had an amazing weekend with Logan, but I always do. Friday, his birthday, we just spent the evening together, hung out at our favorite hookah spot for a bit before retuning him and watching a few episodes of a show i enjoy. Saturday I was up at 7:30 and just couldn't get back to sleep, so we went out for a nice breakfast. Then we wandered over to World Market and got some drinks, two Japanese drinks and an Italian lemonade for me and icky ginger beer for him. We then went back to the house and took a bit of a nap. In the evening we had his birthday dinner with his family, which I really enjoyed. We then had the cake I made for him, which was really good. Today we kinda just took it easy. I actually slept in until 10:30,which is still early for me, but later than Saturday. We decided to just go for a drive, so we went up PCH from Malibu and wound up in Oxnard. We had lunch at this Chinese place which was so damn good. Seriously surprising, since when we got there, the place next door was packed and the Chinese place was empty. But, fuck, was it delicious. We then drove back down to the house, took a little nap, and then watched a few episodes of The Last of Us before I headed back home.

And now that I am home, I already miss him. I only feel complete when I'm with him, the twe weeks we're apart feel like torture. And I sleep so much better when I'm next to him. For only getting five hours of sleep on Saturday, waking up at 7:30, I was totally well rested. It's not something I feel when I'm home by myself. I just wind up tossing and turning, staying up too late, sleeping like shit. God, I can't wait until this isn't a thing anymore.
