Time for a bit of the ol' ultra-violence!

Happy Hallowe'en!!

Miles was going to post this, 'cause it was an idea that he and Scrog had initially, but he doesn't have very many people on his journal yet, and I want everyone to see it so... yeah. He can still post it to his journal if he wants but I'm posting it here first :P Scrog carved a pumpkin for Hallowe'en and this is it.



Alex DeLarge,of Kubrick's take on Anthony Burgess' 'A Clockwork Orange'. Although maybe 'A Clockwork Pumpkin' is more apt? :P

Anyways, Jei and Scrog have been without power or phone/internet service since Saturday due to the major snowstorm that hit the east cost of the US at the weekend, and the guys in charge are saying it could be Wednesday or later before service gets restored D: I've been keeping in touch with them by text, but DAT PHONEBILL. I'm kinda sad because I usually spend Hallowe'en doofing with Jei on Second Life or at least derping it up on Skype, but oh well. They have a generator at least, so they're not gonna freeze or anything. It's just kind of sucky and I hope the family gets it back soon. This is the second major outage they've had in a couple of months, the last one being Hurricane Irene, which I was there for :D;;

As for me, I'm trying to get stuff moving over here. I'm signing back on at the Job Centre on Wednesday, and then going to a volunteer meeting on Thursday, and in the meanwhile I've been applying for jobs, paid and voluntary. It's hard enough to even get volunteer work at the moment with so many people out of work, but hopefully some seasonal/Xmas work is coming up?

Okay, gonna bail now so Miles can keep doing... whatever the heck he's doing. Taking over my life, I think D: Nah, it's cool. Catch ya later, guys! Happy Halloweeeeeee'en!

Happy Halloween! Glad you're all okay and everything, shame that Jei's been stuck in that snow storm, I know a friend who is in similar circumstances. That pumpkin looks absolutely amazing as well, good on Scourge for managing that. How have you been in yourself recently? You definitely seem a lot more relaxed and rested since you came home from America actually, I'm glad :) good to see that you Mum is doing a little better too!

Hey! Good to hear from you, and I'm glad you've been sorting out your 'bonds stuff ^^ That's good.

I've gotta say it's really nice to be back in a quiet environment... I've gotten SO much better sleep since I got home. Kinda lonely though, since I don't really know anyone around this area and I don't have a job or anything to keep me busy. Which is why I'm trying to at least get some volunteer work for now.

I'm glad you're feeling better ^^ sorry I took so long to reply btw, Year 11 is fun... not xD Yeah, voluntary work is fun. I did 3 months at the Cat's Protection League for my D of E, it was good. I don't think I could do it forever though (Shadow's not too sure about cats).

Speaking of which, I had another weird Mephiles dream last night. Miles made an appearance in it, actually. ^^
