(no subject)

So, if you know me at all, you know I dislike valentines day -- not hatred, like thanksgiving, just mere dislike. Generally, I forget all about it except for seeing advertisements.

I definitely do not expect to receive presents.

So when last night, right before bed, pat sprung a surprise on me, I was flustered to say the least. For the most part, I don't like jewelry or chocolate or teddybears or whatever other crap people get.

But instead of any of those things, he gave me the world's most ridiculous card (for laughing at) and some packaged candy that I particularly enjoy.

I have to share parts of this card with you all. The text goes on for three pages and includes the following lines:

"We'll still hold hands when we walk side by side, and understand each other's feelings without saying a word. We'll still end each day, happy and secure in each others arms, thankful for everything we share and drift off to sleep more in love than ever."

Hi-larious. All we could do last night was cackle about that. For maybe ten full minutes.

So Pat actually managed to get me the best valentines gift I'm ever going to get: a fantabulously stupid card and some gummybears-nerds-and-creepy-mints.

Alas, I cannot make a poll -- Halloween in July

I was going to post a poll about this, but since I don't have a paid account anymore, you'll all just have to leave comments.

I have a number of ideas for Halloween in July this year. For the past several years I've been trying to do themes rather than just renting whatever I wanted. Last year was Holiday Horror, two years ago was International HiJ, three years ago was Haunted Houses.

So I want to present to you all some ideas and see what you think. You can vote even if you don't plan on coming.

* Classic Movie Monsters - This would mean possibly showing original black and whites mixed with modern versions. By the classics I mean, Dracula, Werewolf, Frankenstein, etc.

* Remakes - I'd show remakes of modern horror movies, like the new Amittyville Horror, the new Dawn of the Dead, the new Halloween. This option was inspired by my recent viewing of original Psycho and new Psycho.

* Zombies! - Completely different than the others. I'd get together a collection of some of the best zombie movies. Something about zombies fascinates me.

* Other - Suggest your own theme.

So please comment with your opinion. Let me know what you think even if you won't be coming to the party.

(Quick Recap for those who don't know: Every year on the fourth of july I have a Halloween in July party. We eat junk food and watch horror movies all day long.)
