Today's Halloween and I'm just not feeling it. There's just no excitement for me like there was in the past. There's not even the change of the avatar like there was in the past. I used to get excited about Rocky Horror Picture Show and Friday the 13th. I used to get excited about Halloween candy and people setting fireworks as I turn in to bed around 11. Not this year. Maybe I'm getting old. I made Remembrance Day decorations for the flea market instead of Halloween decorations.

It’s been a good number of years since I’ve actually enjoyed or looked forward to Halloween itself. I really feel like I should have something better to do for Halloween than sit at home watching horror movies like I do any other day of the year… but I never do. No reason to make a costume besides my own enjoyment, I didn’t bother this year.

Troublemakers have been setting off fireworks outside the windows in my apartment building, while walking up and down the sidewalk all week. I ate some more chocolate today. That was fun.

You can always watch reruns of the "Twilight Saga".

It was a quite educational TV series actually. I learned a lot from it.

Like how...supernatural beings of the USA are just as ...politically polarized as are mortals.

Like they have the same tensions between immigrants and natives as the rest of us.

American Vampires hate American warewolves. And its partially because American vampire came over on the same boats as White folks from Europe, while our warewolves were here already with the Native Americans!

Actually, according to the Twilight Saga, American warewolves are shapeshifters, and not true European style warewolves, but still...I never know that...creatures...immigrated, and immigrated around like that. :lol:

Halloween is over for another year now. Hopefully, there will be a Halloween dance at my clubhouse once again next year after three years without one due to the pandemic. The clubhouse is under a mask happy health organization.
