October. Something about Autumn--the month of October especially--puts me in such a happy and upbeat mood. The comfort food, pumpkins as decorations, pumpkins as food, getting our creative gears turning for the upcoming Halloween holiday planning out and making costumes, and the cool-but-not-cold weather all inspires me and uplifts me. Every year this time of year my personal energies are full and overflowing--both poetic, artistic, and supernatural. I can step outside and every new breeze, every star, every moonbeam, sends the energy and adrenaline surging through my bloodstream. I wish I could share with you just how much October feels like home...

I wish it would be October forever.

ok just to get that last bit of anger off my page... (sorry again man)

i'll be posting a few things to my scraps soon. i have one sketch i did in 30-45 minutes while bored at work, and i'm damn proud of it. i also have a few brief snippets of prose, just a couple test-run pieces to see if i still got it, so keep looking out in my scraps folder and critique my pieces! I should have them posted by this time next week. I'll be busy all the rest of tonight ( don't have them on me ) and will be in Atlanta tomorrow for some Rock festival a friend is buying me tickets for since i'm driving him there. Supposed to be some good bands there--Slayer, Killswitch Engage, Manson, god knows who else. But anyways, yea keep your eyes open this next week, and I'll post up a journal entry whenever I get the other things posted. You'll probably have to wait for the sketch though because I don't have access to a scanner/copier.

Anyways... so much to do so little time, so I'll be on my way now. Just wanted to let you guys know. I'm thinking about taking my writing much more seriously and turning it into a profession, so I need all the critiquing I can get. Thanks for all your help!
