Well, now I am officially in the Halloween mood. I've been listening to some dark-ish songs the past few days (The Howling, Mitternacht, Devil May Cry, The Poet and the Pendulum, etc.), nothing too hard core, like anything of Rob Zombie's. *shudders* He scares the effin frick out of me, like nothing else. I've also been reading The Cain Saga, by Kaori Yuki, which is her prequel to Godchild, and it's love. (From what I've read, it shouldn't be rated M. OT, yet, but not M, yet at least. I mean, c'mon, Angel Sanctuary so far is worse than The Cain Saga.) Yuki is just amazing. I really, really, really love her stories. Her art is beautiful and she has a way with drawing you into the story and whatnot.

Now, as much as I love Halloween, it's my 3rd fave holiday, after Christmas and my birthday (November 8, heck yes!), there are some things related to it that I can't stand, such as, well, ghosts. Last night during my Master Drive training thing, my coach (who was just awesome) said that he and his wife had a bad experience in their old house about two years back. he was over in Iraq, and she was home talking to him over the computer and what not and she heard footsteps, now, mind you, she's a really tough, strong-spirited Mexican-American, and she even got flipping creeped out by this. But, anyways, she heard footsteps upstairs, and she was about to go kick some butt, because she thought that her kids weren't in bed. When she got up there, they were all asleep. Well, later, when he got back, they had another experience similar to that, and as soon as they could, they got out of that house.

But, if there's one thing that creeps me out, it's stuff like that. Now, I don't believe in ghosts. I do, however, believe in God, angels, and demons. Maybe spirits, I'm a little iffy on that one. I've had some past experiences with things like that, and it's not fun. What I don't mind, are things like vamps, werewolves, zombies and such, because they're not real. I also just in general like things more Gothic, not everything, but some things.

Anyways, I've been in the Halloween mood as of late, and I can't wait until Wednesday, because Lyss and I are gonna go trick-or-treating for a while, before it gets too cold, seeing as her immune system is shot because of chemo and such, then we're gonna pig out on candy and watch NBC (Nightmare Before Christmas) and we'll probably also read more of The Cain Saga and/or Godchild, seeing as that's also fairly Halloweeny.
