Hi! Welcome to October!

Here are some Halloween-y links:

Haunted Paper Toys, with some free patterns

Cool pics of the Devils Tower (of Close Encounters fame)

Creature Feature Hall of Horror History (makes noise, and the writing may have swears, but it's fun!)

Pumpkin carving patterns, very cheap to join and download.

Mexican Sugar Skull supplies and information, for those who celebrate Dia de los Muertos

And a really cool website by the California Academy of Sciences on skulls.

Very Weird

My name is not common. As a matter of fact, it's part of my user name. (No, not the 13 part. I'm not a hot bisexual on House.) Growing up, it was very, very uncommon to run across another person with my name. The year I was born, it was somewhere around #600 on the baby names list.

Imagine my suprise to find it at #33 for 2007. The mind boggles. Of course, it is after the ever-popular Nevaeh, but above Kaylee, which means I win over Firefly fans.

No word from the Cherrywood Art Festival, which probably means that for yet another year, I am not good enough for them. Feh.
