Everyone's got a list of movies they like to watch at Halloween. Well, in addition to my regular binge on horror and campy-ness, I've got my 13 Must See Movies ... list below, in no particular order other than that's what order I thought of them. Enjoy!

1. The Nightmare Before Christmas - this one I have to watch every Halloween and every Christmas. Have to. It's just not the holidays without it for me. And I love me some Jack Skellington ... as a look in my jewelry box will quickly tell you.

2. Frankenweenie - I'll just say it now to warn you ... I love me some Tim Burton. This one is lesser known than some of his other stuff, but it's super cute. Kid's pet dog dies, kid goes all mad scientist and brings him back to life, hilarity and chaos ensues. Look out for some famous faces. This is one you can watch with the kidlets.

3. It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown - Do I really need to explain this one??

4. Elvira, Mistress of the Dark - So yeah, I've got an addiction to campy B stuff ... and Elvira movies make a great drinking game. Every time she makes a reference to her tits, take a shot. You'll be shitfaced in no time.

5. Vampirella - Another obscure one. Cheesy comic book movie. Vampire hottie chick from outer space. And Roger Daltry is in it!! One of my faves, but I'm a sucker for anything Vampirella related anyway.

6. The Crow - Ahhh, the goth staple. Great movie, and I can totally get on board with the getting married on Halloween thing.

7. Rocky Horror Picture Show - I love me some cult movies. And it doesn't get much better than Tim Curry in drag. I was kind of disappointed in the sequel, Shock Treatment, though.

8. Plan 9 From Outer Space - Space aliens that raise the dead. And if my movie trivia is right, this was Bela Lugosi's last film, and legend has it that he died midway through filming and had to be replaced by a stand in who spent the rest of the movie with the cape over his face so that you didn't realize it wasn't Bela. This one is so bad it won an award for being bad. But if you want to watch something campy, this is the be-all-end-all of campiness.

9. Once Bitten - This was the first thing I saw Jim Carrey in. And to me nothing is funnier than the virgin getting some for the first time in a coffin. *giggles* And it's got the 80s standard dance scene!

10. Corpse Bride - See also above where I mentioned my addiction to Tim Burton. This one is actually really cool, I liked it a lot.

11. Sweeney Todd - Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. And music. And lots of blood and gore. And music. And blood and gore. Awesomeness.

12. Repo! The Genetic Opera - Seriously, does it get much better than having Ogre from Skinny Puppy and Anthony Stewart Head and Sarah Brightman all in the same rock opera??? NO, says I. And it doesn't hurt that the effects were done by the same people that did the effects for the Saw movies. Good stuff. Favorite scene : A.S.H. makes a guy into his hand puppet. *cackles wildly*

13. Blithe Spirit - I can honestly say that if it weren't for this one, I would not exist. My parents met when they did this play at their high school drama club thing. My mom played the ghost wife, my dad played the beleagured haunted man.

So that's my list! Watch, in three hours I'll think of something that I should have put on the list, and didn't, but that's the list as of right this minute. Enjoy! I'm off to go be a zombie at work some more. Mmmm, brains ....

Just set up my facebook account. Baaaaa ... yes I'm a sheep. A slow sheep, at that. Deal with it. LOL

Anyways, y'all can find me there under Erin Storts or under my maiden name, Erin Duddridge. See ya on the flip side!

Shamelessly stolen from msanborn ... a humongo top five list thingie and I'm too damned lazy to lj cut it and if yas don't like it, uhhh ... bite me.

List of Top 5 “Things” in no particular order within their categories:

Non-Horror Movies:
1. Pulp Fiction
2. Dogma
3. The Boondock Saints
4. Star Wars ... only counting this as one but the whole saga ... yes even the prequels.
5. Gamers : Dorkness Rising ... this is a newer addition to my list, and it's a lower budget type thing, but for any hardcore gamers like me, I think it should be required viewing. Especially if you play D&D. Amusing one-liners galore.

Sportspeople:
Ugh I'm leavin this one blank. I'm REALLY not all that into sports, honestly.

Actresses I’d Get Naughty With:
1. Angelina Jolie
2. Rose McGowan
3. Milla Jojovich
4. Christina Ricci
5. Pauley Peretti (might be spelling her name wrong) ... Abby goth hotness from NCIS. Nuff said.

Favorite Starbucks Drinks:
Ya know this is so sad, the caffeine junkie that I am... it's been so long since I've been to Starbucks. And honestly, believe it or not, the WHOLE time I was in Seattle I didn't have any coffee other than crappy hotel room fare and whatever they serve at Denny's and IHOP. And they literally have a Starbucks on like every corner there. How messed up is that?? I'm usually happy with a pretty simple mochaccino with whipped cream and chocolate syrup on top.


Songs I Sing Along To: hmm ... as musically driven as I am, there's a lot. So I'll just list the first five I can think of. It changes on a regular basis really.
1. "More" by Malefactor ... this is my kid brother's band in San Antonio. I absolutely love this song, it's so dark and gothy and just bad ass. It reminds me a little of Nick Cave from the Murder Ballads cd, only a little more hard-rock/metal.
2. "The Story" by Brandi Carlile ... I have a friend from work to thank for this one. She made me read the lyrics one day because she said they reminded her of me and Lee, and then she let me borrow the cd. I'm hooked. It starts of really mellow and sweet, and a minute in she just starts screaming out with such emotion, and the guitar gets harder, and it just sucker punches me.
3. "Right Here" by Staind ... yeah I'm noticing a ballad trend here. That's just the mood I've been in lately. This is one of my favorite Staind songs. The lyrics speak to me. Can't really explain it more than that.
4. "Sweet Child O Mine" by Guns N Roses ... this one has been one of my favorites for years. I actually used to sing it as a lullaby for all three of my kids.
5. "Please Don't Leave Me" by Pink ... this one I heard for the first time a few months ago when I saw the video. The video cracked me the hell up with the whole Misery thing, so even with the mood and lyrics of the song, it's on my "Cheer the F&%# Up" playlist.

LJ Friends I Wanna Fuck:

Songs I Find Sexy:
1. "Kiss Me Through The Phone" - Soulja Boy
2. "Discipline" - Nine Inch Nails
3. "Black No. 1" - Type O Negative .... oohh this one's been my THEME song since it came out. I'm still trying to find it as a ringtone for my phone.
4. "Sex On Fire" - Kings of Leon
5. "Touched" - Vast ... the first time I heard this was on an episode of Angel. (The one where the thing was bar hopping and killing singles and body switching) I've been hooked ever since.

Books:
1. Gone With The Wind ... I've worn out so many copies of this book that it's not even funny
2. American Gods – Neil Gaiman ... Lee made me read this one for the first time before my trip to Seattle after a several hour long conversation about books ... and I absolutely loved it.
3. Wicked ... bought this one on layover on the way to Seattle, and I loved getting the Wicked Witch of the West's side of the story. Chick got the crap end of the deal really, I felt bad for her.
4. The Stand - Stephen King ... it was soooo hard to pick just one of his books for this list, I'm a fanatic about it, but this one has got to be my favorite.
5. 1984 - George Orwell

I have the pics up on my myspace, anyone interested in the link just give a holler with email addy, comments will be screened so your addy stays private. *grin*

My life is still crazed, had the first court date the other day and it went a lot better than I was expecting.

So ... I got an interesting text message last weekend. A girlfriend from work texted me saying "Hey, how would you like to go to Seattle with me next month?" I kinda blinked and told her it sounded fun but I was hella broke ... to which she replies "Girl I will buy your plane tix and pay for hotel room, all you have to do is pay for your food, I REALLY want you to go!"

So ... I'm going. Whee.

Here's the plan ... flight leaves Savannah on August 20th at 5:45 pm ... so I should be getting into Seattle like midnightish? My itinerary is on my fridge, at home, so I'm spacing. Anyway, we have an hour layover in Atlanta I think. So I'll be there like four days ... my flight leaves the afternoon of the 24th ... again itinerary is at home so I can't remember exact time off hand but it puts me arriving in Savannah at midnight.

So ... any Seattle peeps interested in a holler? *grin*

Wahoo! So if ya want in, comment "words" and I'll come up with five words for you, then you post what those words mean to you.

My words from msanborn ...
Stilettos : I've got a wicked shoe fetish. I think Josh will go nuts if I buy one more pair of shoes. But stilettos ... I love them. I like how they make my legs look, and they are one of my top two types of shoes for sexiness... the other is big honkin bitch boots that go up to the knees. :)
Witchcraft : This is a great one for me. I've been a practicing Celtic witch for ... *counting on fingers* ... wow, 12 or 13 years now. Wow. For me, it's not a religion, it's not something I dabble in ... it's a way of life. A way of respecting the earth and all creatures on it. Yes, this includes my recent spider epiphany. I'm making peace with the eight legged beasties. Altho pics of camel spiders still send me into cold sweats and shakes ... but omg have you SEEN those things? *shudder* I've never been one for a lot of spell-working, because for me that is one of those last possible resort things. And even then, my only spellworking has been for healing and protection. Just the way I roll with it. I don't want to fiddle with anyone else's free will or karma, so I try very hard not to get involved if something else is needed. I need to dust off my Tarot and do a reading, though ... especially now with all the craziness that's been going on in my life. :)
Snakes : I love snakes. I've been fascinated by them since I was a kid and my god-sister got a pet ball python. I've always wanted one, and it's been my shitty luck that my significant others are seriously wigged out by snakes, so I haven't gotten one. But oh, I can dream ...
Bread : I love to bake. My kitchen is MY happy place. It's my domain, and I get twitchy if people start going in there moving stuff around. When the weather is cool enough for me to get in there and bake, I can whip up some homemade bread like nobody's business. I need to make some zucchini bread this weekend, I've got the zucchini already shredded in the fridge and just need to get it put together. *drools* But for me, making a loaf of bread from scratch (no bread machines for me, thx) is relaxing and almost like meditation for me. And the way it makes the house smell ... *sigh* yum.
Teas : LMAO this is a great one for me too ... I have got so much herbal tea in my pantry that it isn't even funny. I used to store it in the freezer, but had to move it because I had so much. I love a good honey chamomile ... when I'm crazy stressed nothing calms me down like a nice cup of tea with honey and maybe some lemon. And being southern, I'm all about some "rot the teeth out of your head" sweet iced tea too.

Them's mine! Anyone else want in? *grin*

So I had an epiphany of the eight-legged kind this week. Ever since I can remember, there have been spiders showing up in odd places and behaving in very un-spiderish ways. We had a black widow build a web on our front porch when I was little, and that thing lived there for the entire time we lived in that house. It never bothered anyone. When I was in high school there was a brown recluse that took up residence in the latticework below my bedroom window. (Got me to stop sneaking out the window, that's for sure.) When I lived in Atlanta with my ex husband and was having marital problems, a black widow bit him while he was changing the oil in the car. I still giggle over that one. And these weird big honkin brown spiders like to get into my livingroom and hang out by my coffee table, which just happens to be a big wooden packing crate that doubles as storage for all my witchy paraphernalia.

There could be not a spider in sight, and I step outside and at least one or two decide to approach me. Not in an aggressive manner, I've never been bitten by a spider that I can think of.

What makes it funny is that quite frankly, spiders freak me out. I'm a big sissy girl when it comes to the things. I've never been bitten, and you'd think I'd be used to the darn things following me around by now, but I didn't have my epiphany til this week. It was said to me that I needed to stop and think, and connect the dots between the times spiders have been at their most present and when things have been difficult in my life ... and I came to a realization. Whenever I'm under the most stress or upheaval, that's when I see more spiders.

So hence the epiphany. I decided to put on my big-girl panties and deal with the fact that spiders are drawn to me. So going with that train of thought, I did some asking around about Celtic pantheon and any deities with an affinity or connection with spiders. And Ariadne was brought to my attention. I was told that she was the only Greek Goddess that was worshipped by the Celts. I did not know that before.

So apparently I've got another patron ... I'm not saying I gained a new patron, just that I've recently become aware of her. Since She's been present in my life since I was a child, and I'm only just now noticing it. And another animal to add to the planning of the backpiece tat of animal representations of my patrons.

Okay first off, for those who either don't know me that well or have only recently begun reading my journal, let me start off by saying that I am very openly Pagan. Being that I live in southeastern Georgia, this can pose some problems at times. Let's just say that the buckle of the proverbial bible belt is not very friendly to Pagans in general. Savannah has made some positive strides in the past few years since they started having a Pagan Pride Day (which is coming up pretty soon, I'll have to check my calendar again but I think it falls on Summer Solstice this year). But still, although I'm "out of the broom closet" as it were, I usually tend to keep religious matters to myself. I have a Goddess symbol tattooed on the back of my neck that I make no attempt to cover up, and I wear my pentacle every day. I just don't preach, and when people ask I generally say that it is a religious symbol and leave it at that unless asked further questions.

So I was kinda floored this morning when I came into the office. I hadn't even poured my first cup of coffee yet, much less consumed it. I was talking to our receptionist while I sliced up some baked goods I had brought for the office, and she said "Oh I love your necklace, it's beautiful .... is that Wicca??"

I was stunned! After a second or two to recover my wits, I said "Yes, it is." And then we got into a great discussion about nature religions in general and how she loves how in tune with nature they are, and she said "it isn't just a religion, it's a lifestyle!" I wanted to hug her. Really. Because it's so rare down here to have someone who, even though they aren't a follower of nature religions themselves, they still GET it. Granted, I'm not exactly Wiccan, although I am openly Pagan, but still, she was close enough to the general idea that it made my entire day better.

So I spent the weekend attempting to do some advanced email stat tutorials for Incredimail. Altho I can get some very nice results with just borders and header images, I want to learn nifty tricks, like scrollboxes and traily cursors and junk. So I decided to spend the weekend doing tutorials for the advanced letter creating group thing I'm in.

And I came to a realization. My computer = the suck. Really. I can't run two programs at once, which includes having IE open while I'm running PSP. Because my computer yells at me and pops that irritating as shit yellow triangle and crashes when I haven't saved ... Urgh. I got a nifty sideborder one done with no problems, fought with the top border one all day Sunday and finally had to scrap that one as a loss because PSP crashed on me when I was trying to get my graphic to be seamless. Urgh.

So I'm really hoping that my brother stops talking smack and builds me a new computer like he keeps threatening. Even if his reasoning is purely selfish because he wants me on WoW, still ... this computer is the suck and I'm getting incredibly irritated with how it is curtailing my creativity, dammit.

That song is going to be in my head for hours now ...

So yeah ... I'm just hanging out waiting for hubs and das wunder-midget to pick me up from work, so we can go pick up Amber and Brendan.

Gonna post under friends filter in a sec ... work bitch-age shall ensue. You've been warned! ;)

So I went with Goat to see Wolverine today. OMG. I luvved it.

( my rambling disjointed account behind the cut for those who want to avoid spoilers )

So ... I admit it ... I'm not a major follower of the X Men comics. Don't throw things at me!!!! I just can't get all that into mainstream comics! Sorry! lol So I'm sure there are flaws that I didn't catch. But I enjoyed the movie, anyway. Even with the few shots that played with my vertigo.

So anyone else see it? What ya think?

So ... after watching this thing about ancient aliens on history channel ... it was immediately followed by a thing about Star Trek.

sio what time zone are you in? You HAVE to see this! Hopefully you're on a timezone that you'll be able to catch it, I've been sucked in for like an hour now and just NOW thought to tell you. Oops.

I'll only say this ... Poodles in Starfleet uniforms. LMAO And Klingons singing "Let It Be" (in Klingon, of course!)

So I'm completely freaked. I LOVE seein scary stuff like this. There is a sad shortage of "horror" that has this effect on me. If the short two and a half minute film freaked me the heck out, I have absolutely GOT to see what Guillermo del Toro does with it!!

So yeah, I'm sharing the terror ... no clickies with little ones hangin over your shoulder, cuz then you'll be pulling nightmare detail for ages.

I think it's the freaky walking that does it ...

Now of course I'm going to have to get off my arse and watch The Grudge. That I've owned since it came out on dvd, and have never seen more than the first half hour of. And I think I wanna watch Tale of Two Sisters again too.

I'm binging on scurry movies this weekend! It's official!

Yep yep ... finally getting internets back at the house. Unfortunately, due to AT&T being nazi-pig-dogs I can't get the super cool deal and get broadband for $20 a month. They don't do broadband in my area. Which is gay. They offer phone service in my area, why not broadband? I don't get it.

Then I spent like forever on the phone with Comcast, getting transferred from one call center to another, and then another one, to get cable internets. No cable tv, just cable internets. Cuz we really aren't home enough for cable tv, don't watch a whole lot of tv, and have about eleventy bajillion dvd's to watch.

So yeah, after much confusion and wtf-moments trying to figure out why the call center for the Comcast office that is LITERALLY 20 minutes from my house does not service my zip code, I have a cable man coming to my house Saturday morning to hook me up with the interwebs.

Now let's just hope that the poor beast that is my computer can handle it. It can barely tolerate PSP. LOL I think maybe it's on its last legs. I've just got to make it last a leeeeeeetle while longer. I gots to remind my sis-in-law of her promise to give me the computer sitting in her closet, when she comes out at the end of next month. Yep!

Or is it smorgasbord? I can never remember. LOL

Okay, so since I've got all the blanks for the tags I've been making recently, I decided to put them up on my Fotki and open them up for requests ...

Now keep in mind I've only been doing these since October of last year, after a REALLY long hiatus in which I did not have Paint Shop Pro. I did not realize just how many I've done. Oy. It literally has taken me all morning to get them all uploaded. (well, did some before work, did some during morning break, and finished up just now)

I've struggled to keep them copyright safe, purchasing tubes and using artists who do allow free use of their work, etc. If you see something up there that shouldn't be, let me know so I can get rid of it. :)

Anyways ... for those interested ... linkie!

( sio's questions for me )

And now, time to go clock in for work!

<< edit : I totally changed my answer for #4 ... I thought I couldn't think of anyone, and then I was reminded. Yay. >>

So I took a crazy long lunch today. (I had clocked in about an hour early this morning, so I had some extra time that gave some flexibility.) Today was my lunch with John! Hadn't seen him since probably 2000? Maybe a year or so before? Forever, in other words. Had stumbled across him on myspace after Casey's very odd "wonder what ever happened to ... " conversation last week, and John and I both were like "we should totally hang out!!". So today we went to lunch. I had entirely too much food to eat (1/3 pound southwest burger and fries) and we talked and talked and talked. Next thing I knew it was like a minute or two away from 2:00, which was the time I was supposed to have been back in the office.

So yeah, we definitely need to hang out more. It's so cool to get back in touch with old friends. I'm in such a good mood now.

But oh my gods ... I'm sooooooooo stuffed!

So the birthday itself SUCKED. Now I remember why it is that I usually don't bother telling people when my birthday is. Anytime I attempt to do something that isn't the normal every day stuff on my birthday, chaos reigns. And I end up being sorely disappointed and bummed out.

So what happened is this ... my coworkers on Friday had cake for me and gave me a card. I managed to convince them NOT to sing to me and it was all good. I even had a little cake left over to bring home. Friday after work we went to Amber's softball game, caught the last five minutes or so of it (oy) and then brought kidlets home. Saturday, since Josh had to work from 6 to 2, I wasn't expecting any big to-do, but just hanging out with the family. Lee was supposed to come over and stain my witchy trunk of doomity doom and put a hinge on the lid for me so that it doesn't continue to get knocked off every time someone walks past. Simple, but that was going to be my birthday present and I was stoked. Then, consumption of alcoholic beverages was to commence, once the kidlets were put to bed. Well, Lee ended up not being able to make it, because he had the night from hell the night before and had about an hour and a half of sleep, etc. That was no big deal, I was cool with it and understanding and all, despite his "I feel like an ass" comments. No, that isn't what made my day suck. What made my day suck was my HUSBAND coming home from work three hours late. Seriously. He had stopped at a friend's house to pick up our dice, and only came home after I left him a voicemail asking if he was planning on being home before dinner time. (considering he got off work at 2. yeah.) Not to mention that we needed to take Amber to get cleats for softball, at the moment she is getting away with playing in regular tennis shoes, but that is a bad idea and she can't continue to wear those to play. It's just not good. So I had promised Casey that if I could find cleats for her, we'd get them since she has another game on Tuesday. So when Josh walked in the door at 5:30, I was pissed. Smoke pouring out my ears, whole nine yards. So I made some snarky comment like "Don't feel obligated to come home just cuz it's my birthday, we can have my birthday any day" blah blah. Yeah, I was bitchy. Period + 31st birthday + feeling like nobody wanted to spend time with me = me super bitch, you victim. So after Josh went and changed out of his uniform, I went off. Told him that he knew we had stuff to do that had to be done Saturday because Sunday is the crazy day at the house, blah blah blah. He goes "Well we'll just go after dinner to get the cleats." So I said we couldn't because after dinner we had to get all three kids bathed and ready for bed, etc. So he said for me to get my shoes on and we'd go then. I said that I didn't want to be in the same room with him at that point because I was too irritated with him, and that he may as well pick up dinner for the kids while they were out because I didn't see any point in cooking if I didn't know how long the cleat shopping would take. So he took the kids (and slammed the front door on his way out) and went shopping for cleats and got dinner.

Yeah. I spent my birthday fighting with my husband. Over him not feeling like it was important to just hang out with me on my birthday. I didn't want a big deal made, I just wanted his company. Simple request, right? That's what I thought, anyway.

So finally when we went to bed he apologized for putting me in a bad mood on my birthday. (I swear that is an exact quote.) Yeah. I'm still irritated about it, but it has just made it all that more clear that I just don't need to acknowledge that I have a birthday anymore. Ever.

Sunday was better, Mac brought Tony over (so we could finally meet him) and she cut my hair, and Jimmy dropped by with no warning at all. The new hair cut is cute, I like it anyway, I just forgot to put the pic (that I was forced to sit still for) on my thumb drive to put up here. I'll try and remember to do that so I can post it tomorrow. Anyway, my ego got stroked Sunday by something Mac said, and I just had to share because I'm still giggling over it. I was playing my Emilie Autumn cd (I swear I'm going to wear the thing out) and said something about getting "Thank God I'm Pretty" stuck in Josh's head so that he would start singing the line "So everybody thinks that I'm a fucking Suicide Girl" (which is really funny btw) ... and Mac said to me "You could be a Suicide Girl" (making me blush) and then Tony chimes in with "Yeah, give her a few piercings and she's set" ... not exact quotes, it threw me off enough that I can only remember vague wording. But yeah. So. They made me feel purty. LOL

I think I'm the only person I know who takes that as a compliment. But in my defense, I've wanted to be a Suicide Girl for like five or six years now. But yeah. I'd have to get over my hatred of getting my picture taken first.

But yeah. And I'm excited about going to lunch with John tomorrow. Can't wait to catch up with him. :)
