Viewing 1 - 5 out of 5 Blogs.
Reading back on my last few blog entries, I realize that over a year has expired since I joined HauntSpace, and just like cyberspace, much has changed.
My new (1 year old and now off warranty) refrigerator is making similar noises, (groans, moans, rattles), as its deceased predecessor. Probably the compressor again.
My website no longer exists. I changed ISP.
Boris the Wonder Turtle's website no longer exists for the same reason.
SpookyART no longer exists, probably because I quit posting there! (It's all about ME!)
I now own a notebook pc and finally have DSL so I can read these pages without waiting 30 minutes for the graphics to load.
I still love Halloween, however. I am happy to see that HauntSpace has survived its first year and I'm amazed at how many friends I have. I have more friends here than at MySpace, but that's my choice. I have resigned myself to posting there because that's where the bands are. I am more than ever into progressive metal music. I would kill to see Kamelot live (but I'll NOT drive to La); I saw Nightwish at the Housae of Blues in San Diego on 05-23-08, and I haven't had so much fun since 1965, when I saw the Beatles.
Happy Haunting my creepy friends!

Rules: Each player of this game starts with 7 weird things/habits about
you. "People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own". 7 weird
things/habits. As well as state the rules clearly. At the end, You need
to choose 7 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to
leave a comment that says, "You're Tagged" and tell them to read your
blog. Ick! What isn't weird about me? 1. I'm a native Californian 2. Halloween is the only holiday I celebrate 3. I'm older than dirt but have the body of a teenager. 4. I've been married to the same man for almost 35 years. 5. I've never been unfaithful to him nor he to me. 6. I've extremely juvenile tastes in music. 7. I don't like dogs or children.
 Feeling like an exotic dancer today. Life is good, although it could always be better, and I don't have to go to work, talk to customers, play the game or kiss butt ever again.
This may sound rather snotty, but I doubt anyone will read it anyway. I worked hard for over 30 years in an industry I do not respect, but I never felt I betrayed or defrauded a single customer. Nevertheless, I am so glad to be out of the game. I recently viewed the movie The Office with Jennifer Anniston(?). I will always now think of this actress as the "Flair" girl rather than the X-wife of Brad Pitt. This flick was hilarious and should be viewed by anyone who has worked for a large, service oriented corporation ala Starbucks. I was actually in banking, retired at 55, had to cancel my health insurance because it was approaching $1,000 per month (and would definitely be beyond that before I reach 66 and enter Club MEDicare). I now will receive $62.98 for the rest of my life, and I took a lower monthly pension so that my dear husband, Jim, could continue receiving this grand sum after my death. Recently, my six year old MAYTAG energy star rated refrigerator died. We paid $55 to hear that it would be too expensive to repair, since it was the compressor, costing over $700 in parts and labor. Consequently, we bought a Hotpoint online from Home Depot for less than the Maytag, but it's not an energy star. I figure, if it only lasts 5 or 6 years, what difference does the energy rating make? What irritates most is the fact that our clean, showroom perfect appliance will probably be scrapped, although someone may refurbish and sell it in Mexico. This equipment we are buying as a nation is designed to die rather than be repaired, as we used to do in the ancient 50s and 60s, maybe even the 70s. "Throw away" major appliances are an insult! We should be able to repair what's broken, rather than toss it on the landfill. This disregard for our planet is disgusting. Corporate greed is an outrage. The way we manipulate and suck the blood of our workers is reprehensible. I am not a socialist or a communist, but I am a realist who denies that our nation seeks to fulfill each citizen's right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. These inalienable rights have gone the way of the dodo and the typewriter. Enough ranting for today. 
I would also cordially invite any interested Haunter to visit my diy website, NIGHTERRORS There you can view more of my artwork and find interesting links to other sites I frequent and enjoy. 
I am so happy to have found this haunt. I noticed the address in an email from Monolith Graphics, and I had to check it out. This is my kind of place, much more to my liking than MySpace, and somewhere I can post my art, unlike SpookyART, where I'm not professional or gruesome enough. Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. I truly dislike Christmas and Easter, although I am not anti Christian or anti Christ. I am anti organized religion and false facades, although Halloween has grown increasingly commercial since my childhood in the late Fifties. It has also become much more dangerous. I remember running free in my neighborhood on Halloween night, with little fear of meeting a real monster. Oh, there were urban legends of razors in apples and poisoned candy, but in reality, no one really feared the evil we now face daily. I usually hang out at ThothWeb.com as a moderator, at SpookyART.com, as a wannabe, and various other sites of mystery, horror and art. My favorite art magazine used to be Juxtapoz, to which I've been a subscriber since 1997, but it is moving too far to the graffiti persuasion for my taste, and I'll not renew my sub in 2008. These days, I enjoy Dark Realms and Cthulhu Sex, although both my subs have expired to these publications. My art magazine of choice is currently American Art Review.
Now that I have found all these other warped people who share my fascination with Halloween and the Dark, I can tinker with my strange imaginations to my heart's content, always ignoring my husband's admonition to "grow up." The dreams and fantasies of a childlike mind are all I could ask for, and I am so thankful that I no longer need pretend to be serious, businesslike or dedicated to corporate advancement. Here's my flair for today: 
Please visit Boris the Wonder Turtle at Boris
Hope I remembered that, because doesn't look like I can edit this after the fact.
