Gala ~ I'm patiently waiting for my white chocolate covered gummy bears. Patiently waiting, mouth shut, sending esp thoughts your way just to have a nice day, simply because it's the first day of my favorite month. And really, I have no control over these other people who think it's any other day than that. <BR>
<BR>
How am I doing so far?

LOL...I talked Chris into buying "Amityville Horror" at Wally World last night. He said he doesn't believe in buying movies he thought were scary when he was a kid. I said,"The best horror movies are from the Seventies! Amityville Horror is the best horror movie ever made."<BR>
We're watching it now and we're laughing our asses off. Go figure.

Happy Birthday, Gala!<BR>
<BR>
And hello all...<BR>
<BR>
&lt;disclaimer&gt;<BR>
My halloween piece isn't really an "entry"...  it's kinda late.  In fact I didn't know it was a contest until I caught up a little bit.  I just wanted to join in the fun.<BR>
&lt;/disclaimer&gt;<BR>
<BR>
My first thought was to go with Mary Shelley but Echo went there first, handled it the way I would have, and did it damnably well.  So I had to go a different direction... I found it pretty hard to come up with a female "monster" for a love poem.<BR>
<BR>
Thanx for letting me play.<BR>
<BR>
Lots of great work(as always) and some interesting new voices...<BR>
<BR>
Cheers!<BR>
