N3wton asked me to be his girlfriend and of course, I said yes. Or to be more accurate I said "About time... I thought you'd never ask!"

And so I wanted everyone to see this.. him especially 'Cause I want everyone to know who I love.. *everyone go get your buckets now*

N3wton - I love you Thank you for the past year, it has been amazing. I've loved every moment i've spent with you - The good times, the sad times, and the lots of giggles Thank you.

Your Princess Forever,
TillyLala.xo<3

And! Thank you for the 4 foot teddy you got me She'll get a zillion hugs a day when you're away at uni and I don't see you

And I care? If love is gross then you must be a very bitter, lonely person... But, i'm not one to judge.

And N3wton, you're welcome I hope it made you smile x

I am an ordained minister of the Universal Life Church. When you two get ready to tie the knot, let me know and we can do a forum wedding ceremony. Won't that be something to tell the grand kids!

OMG I laughed so hard at that!! You should totally take him up on his offer N3wton and Tilly.

Agreed, but it's also really cool. However, I feel my stomach beginning to turn...I think I'll make a side dish to what Sepp brought to the table...*blat* Yeah, that's the pizza I ate earlier...

This is how my two longest lasting relationships went:

Stage 1: Me: "Hey, she's hot. I'll giver her a shot."
Stage 2: Sex sex sex
Stage 3: Me: "Will you marry me?" Her: "Free access to your wallet? Sure!"
Stage 4: Long boring ceremony, then years of constant bitching and fighting over every little thing
Stage 5: Me: "I hate you. I want a divorce." Her: "I hate you too, and I want a divorce too. As long as you give me half your income for practically the rest of your life."

Anyway... That's a bad relationship. Hopefully, it contrasts with yours to show how good a realtionship you have.

I'm working on Swordfight again! Come tell me what you think!

N3wton barely uses facebook.. So it would be pointless. Where as this is used all the time by him... He's a geek therefore it seemed fitting to tell him in a kinda geeky way to tell him I love him.

And yes, it maybe a bit weird and a bit controversial but that's just life!

How about we change the subject to what I thought it was about.

Last Halloween...

We had about 10 tricker-treaters at my house... this last one absolutely zero. Hey, more candy for me I guess.

I bought lots and lots of those chocolate buckets, and every time a trick or treater came round, I ate one in front of them and told them to "go away".

I put on a really scary mask with my friend, and we gave them spaghetti mixed with detergent (Nice and slimy). In the end we threw the spaghetti at them and ran after them with a plastic knife.

Daww, how cute. (@Chasing kids with a plastic knife)
Just kidding. I can appreciate the nerd-love, congrats.


BUT, last Halloween some kids from a local public school were supposed to come and trick-or-treat in our dorm. Me and my roommate had this scary setup with Henry Cowell's piece, The Banshee (http://www.last.fm/music/Henry+Cowell/_/The+Banshee) playing in our bathroom so it sounded really reverberant and loud. But the kids never came! Total letdown . . .

Holy cow! Did your answer the door every time or did everybody in your family do it in shifts? Just leaving the door open all night would of been my first solution.

Or keep with the halloween theme and just count the bodies afterwards?

EDIT: That might explain the high numbers as well - the last 350 were police...

It was actually at my friend's house. He's been treating Halloween essentially like his second Christmas ever since he was a teenager in the 90s. His decorations are awesome, and his house always gathers a huge crowd. Lemme show some pictures.



My friend dresses up in that huge skeleton costume. It's over 9' tall!



That's another friend. She hid behind that box thingy all night and jumped out to scare kids. It was pretty funny! xD



That looks really cool when it's moving up and down with arms waving!

Now, to answer how we counted the kids...my friend's mom is the one who hands out the candy. She makes a mark on paper every time a trick-or-treater comes up onto the porch to collect their candy, and then when the night's over they tally up the scores. I think last year was only 320-something, so 382 was a really good score this year!

One of the reasons everyone does trunk or treat at churches these days.

Plus- razorblades in popcorn balls, old candy, chocalate thats actually Laxitive, getting egged, and giveing the nastyist things instaed of candy.

12,387 trick-or-treaters, beat that! Granted most of them just came to tap the keg and leave, but it should still count.
