Surprise! guest blog!!!!! i'm Annie and i am here to inform you about this Demon cat on the loose! I got this when i was 5 at Meijer but i don't think i remember it looking like this! *i stick it in your face,you swear you say its eyes glow red with evilness for a sec.* but as we were in the car on the ride home,i looked at it and then my stomach started to ache......BUM BUM BAAAAAA! I treated it like royalty for a while and then tossed it in my closet and forgot about it for a couple of years. Then almost 2 weeks ago i came across it as I was looking in there.(i often put toys in there and then a year or two later i find it and it seems like new.) i think it was not too happy about being forgotten in the a dark closet. So i set it down and then started drawing Inuyasha fan art (Inuyasha rocks!^^ but i can't draw fluffyAKA Sesshomaru AKA Inuyasha's brother.) and i got an chill i looked up and it was staring at me.....with its cold black eye, and if you notice how the fur just so happens to fall on the eyes to make it look like it is scowling at you. I threw many objects at it to make it fall over ( it was on good old nonpossessed not a demon Scooby doo.) it didn't move an inch. later i took it downstairs, as you all must know Ghost is white, so whenever you look at it,for a split sec you think its Ghost *it's eyes flash red* Oh BTW it's name is Snowball i renamed it Snowball The demon cat. and I believe that It will some day come out at night and eat our livers.......*and evil cat laugh echoes in the room* I'm scared now.......Well!^^ I guess i should go! remember watch out for Snowball the demon cat and Inuyasha ROCKS!!!! Lots of Love!!!!!!!!!!<3

P.S. I corrected the spelling, but not the punctuation. Before I got to it, you would have thought you had stumbled across some foreign website. The child writes a whole different language.

Alyson and her college application, that's one of the creepiest damn things I've seen in a long time. And now I'm going to go watch some creepy stuff. It's family movie night and we've decided due to a lull in the acquiring of family friendly movies, we're going to spend October family movie nights watching old Halloween episodes of Buffy. I can hear the popcorn popping, so that's my cue to go.

This book is a creepfest, and I love it. I think I read it every summer for like, four or five years straight. It's all armageddony and if course a bunch of weird stuff happens, and it's a really good story. I think it may have been made into a graphic novel at some point. Hmmm, I should check on that.

I was trying to push the whole guest blogger concept, but my family is full of fail. Evidently this itty escape hatch into the attic creeps Terry out. There are many dead fly carcasses up there, and evidently it makes your butt sweat if you have to go up there for something in the summer.

Cheesecake made in five minutes, what is this world coming too? While I was stocking my friend the cheesewall yesterday afternoon, I happened upon this wondrous product called ready made cheesecake filling, and since the salmon we were having for dinner was on the meager side, I decided to justify dessert. One readymade Oreo crust, readymade filling, strawberries we already had (what? a fresh ingredient? Creepy) and some Hershey's syrup, there it was.

Less than 24 hours later. Now I just need to never buy this stuff again. Oh processed gobbledygook, how I love thee. And no! I wasn't the only one eating the pie! And yes, I know this is not technically creepy in a scary sense, but at this point I've mostly run out of ideas and I'm just trying to make myself post every day.

A beloved children's icon hanging out on top of our wet bar with our old beer and liquor bottles and a cheesy drippy candle thing we made out of an old whiskey bottle is kinda creepy, right? Okay, okay, maybe not so much, but at least it's a little strange. That Bugs Bunny thing has been up there for so long I hardly notice it anymore. But what is kinda creepy, or at least coincidental, is an internet friend also used a Bugs Bunny pic today, and I took mine and decided that's what I was going to use today before I even saw hers. What is NOT creepy is that I have the next three days off. Maybe now I can clean my house. No wait, I always use October as an excuse to not clean much and say I'm going for "atmosphere." I bet haunted houses aren't dust free with clean toilets!

Our cats have fleas! They bite their knees! Fleas. Fleas are creepy little hoppy buggers that live on blood. And they have infested our felines, because of the whole Ghost going outside thing, which he doesn't do anymore because he lost his nice collar I had JUST bought him, and that had his license on it, and he's a roamer, and well, the whole flea thing was as good of an excuse as any to stop letting him go outside. He's pretty butthurt about it and spends a chunk of time every now and then tapdancing on the glass in the door to communicate that he would, in fact, like to go outside and chase some leaves, but too bad collar loser. Al is the main flea comber, she is quick and can squish the little bastards before they hop. It still gives me the heebie jeebies though, even if (to my knowledge) I haven't been bitten.

I got this itty guy tonight after work, I saw the display as I was taking the cash bags down to the cashey place after a four hour chicken shift that kicked my ass, hard. So I was feeling sorry for myself, and when I saw this table of Halloween themed thingys with air plants, I knew that one had to come home with me. I like this guy's jaunty top hat and bowtie. Plus, the nostalgia factor of the air plant. I haven't had one of those since I got one as a souvenir from Myrtle Beach. Also, we used to make fun of my mom because her thumb is so brown, she killed an air plant. Not that I have much faith that I will be better. I'm sure he will have a name at some point, my kids are like that, big with the naming of inanimate objects.

Terry took forty leven pictures and they were allll blurry, this was the best of the lot. This cat is creepy because she can't see anymore (we surmise, by highly scientific methods like waving something in front of her face) but she still manages to make her way about the house. She spends most of her time in Terry's room, staring at the walls and apparently waiting for the sweet release of death. Or maybe she's communicating telepathically with the creepy dolls in the corner. Let's face it, Terry's room is a creepfest.

24

These dolls are in a corner in Terry's room, shoved in a corner next to a dresser. I'm not even sure why I put them there in the first place, let alone when a dressed up rabbit crashed the party. Both dolls are very old, because they were mine when I was little. The ceramic one was made by my Nanny (my grandmother, I didn't have an actual like, Richie Rich nanny when I was young, although my parents probably could have used a break), and I have to admit that though I love it, it's kinda always creeped me out a little bit, thanks to all those "dolls suddenly coming alive and trying to kill you" things that were on tv in the 70's. I think the cloth one was made by my Nanny's sister, who we called Nannie Sue, and the doll really isn't all that creepy, she even has itty shoes made out of hmm, some sort of stuff that isn't really leather but isn't fabric either, maybe Nannie Sue butchered a naugahyde couch or something. And the rabbit, I just. don't. know. I think maybe Annie put it there last time she cleaned her room, and we're all just too lazy to put it back, or maybe, maybe it came alive one night and decided to hop in there all by itself. Now that would be creepy. Also, Terry did the whole sepia tint to add to the creep factor, because frankly, people, we aren't nearly as creepy as we thought we were, we are running out of stuff.

25

You know what's creepy? The fact that we took two or more pictures of creepy things like, two hours ago, and they have totally disappeared from the itty card in the camera. Vanished. Vamoosed. No piccy for you guys. Even Terry with his infinite geekdom doesn't know what happened, because they totally showed up on the camera, then nada. Oh well, at least I have two more ideas. Oops, Terry just tried to take another pic and it was all like "change the batteries." This is knowledge that would have been useful to me TWO PICS AGO!!!

26

Now I don't think this little guy is creepy, but Al says differently. I think he may look a bit judgey, what with the crossed arms and all, and maybe he looks a bit eerie when he has a candle in his backside and he's emitting a froggy glow when the lights are out and we're all watching a movie. But I had no better offering for today. And the fact that I totally got to use Patti's employee discount to purchase him definitely wasn't creepy.

27

This is how I felt after work today, hence the late post. OMG cheese for 99 cents, locusts, they are going into overdrive. Also, I've had this here skull since I was like, 12? It starred in a haunted house my parents oversaw back in the way too many years ago. Along with the local preacher type, who played Frankenstein and complained that his "nuts" kept falling off. I think my Dad played a Jekyll/Hyde type, and he had a rubber sword. Well, the sword was kinda old, so there might have been a bit of actual metal sticking out, which one of the more rowdy kids found out, and started yelling "He got a knife! He got a knife!" Oh, and the skull glows in the dark too, bonus.

28

This is a little game that Al started playing this week and now she has Terry sucked into it. It's called Pandemic 2, and basically you try to invent a disease that will kill the enture population of the world. Me, I'll just be mixing up potions and looking for Hogwart's crests in my Harry Potter game on the Playstation.

If you want to play this creepy little game, it can be found at addictinggames.com. But why do you want to go and end the world?

The death mask that hangs above my bed, designed by Bob from My Chemical Romance. Not sure what's creepier--that I have a death mask hanging above my bed, or that a forty something suburban mom shelled out the bucks to get The Black Parade is Dead just so she could have a nifty death mask and a wee little coffin to look at while listening to emo teenie music.

30 (I'm going with a countdown thing here)

The crawlspace that's under part of the basement. I always imagine zombies springing up on outta that dirt and clambering over the little wooden pegboard we have up to keep the cats out of it. There's a nifty little cistern pump thing that pipe leads into also that gets filled with skanky water when the monsoons come. I'm not a fan of basements in general. When I was little I was convinced that vampires lived in our furnace. Looking back, they would have had to have been pretty dang short to fit in there, and I probably could have taken them.

31 Days o' Creepy

I have decided I don't update this thing enough, so in an effort to kick myself in the ass, I'm going to try and post a different creepy thing each day in October. First up, Al making like the Insane Clown Posse. It's Spirit Week, so they have to dress up every day, and evidently today was like, I don't know Cat in the Hat day? How this relates to school spirit, I have no clue nor do I want one. And no, she didn't take the knife to school. That's my Cutco knife, it doesn't leave the house. There were a couple of other pics but she didn't look creepy, more like the Cat in the Hat had just stopped by to make you a nice sammich and cut the crusts off just like you like it.
