magic night

yamamanamaI woke up pale as Ashley.
I know I did the right thing ("I'm sorry, I didn't know you were in here" and then walked out) but I don't know if it made Ashley feel any better or my voice was loud enough for her to hear me.
I thought about letting word get around about the pumpkins and then Ashley would show up just to be an asshole and then I'd dump the fish bucket on her.
Only two problems: that's about as likely to happen as making salt from sunshine. Also, we don't have a fish bucket.
Jaden is most fortunate.
Claudia says we're getting newborn squirrels around Halloween and a lot of them have digestive problems.
She had a Queen of Hearts plush for the squirrels to cuddle with.
She's been doing this for forty years and I'm impressed.
"Mealworms are more tasty" says Lauren.
"Hawks don't eat mealworms" I said.
"They don't know that!" says Kenny.
"You're wearing gloves" Jaden said.
"Pretend it's broccoli" Kenny said, which restored my emotional equilibrium. I laughed for half a minute.
"You get to cut up mice for me." Jaden said.
"You get to. That's quite the wording." Lauren said
Jaden says "I use the force" to pick up mice. Lauren is too disgusted to.
Maggie has tattoos of a treble clef and a hourglass with sand dunes in it, a dreamcatcher and an owl coat of arms. Her hair is radiant Mintaka blue and then a faded shade of violet and hot pink. She says it's too faded but I like it. She says that she can only draw smiley faces and flowers but they're good flowers.
I told her about goings-on and I think she's being too harsh on Ashley.
Emily, the spring intern, showed up, and so did Emily, Jack's sister.
I did talk to Emily, current intern, but told her that I'm expecting some dumb phone call between 9 and whatever, which means they're going to call me at 2 and I won't be able to go.
Désirée was there, but only to visit. Gina was directing people towards the entrance of the trail.
Milla or something like that was selling cookies. She said it's a Gaelic name. Damned if I can remember what it was but it reminded me of the Slavic Mily.
Primrose has a tattoo of a snake encircling her leg, which I've never seen because she's usually wearing longer pants. For inexplicable reasons, the one time I see her wearing shorts is in late October.
Kim was around but I don't know where her steampunk friend was.
Tyler was dressed as a cowboy. He said someone adopted Gordon but he still has Bebe the duck.
Alec was around and it was his birthday.
Someone was calling for Leah. I said that Leah is a nice name and she asked me if I thought the same about Chloë and I said that's a nice name too.
There's one with a French moustache that Jacob noticed. One of them is No-Face from Spirited Away. There was a pumpkin with the lid removed but no other carvings, one that she couldn't get a candle through. There a flaming skull with the words "I WILL KILL YOU" written in marker, a rose, a raccoon with hands on the side, a guy with a spider for a nose, a cyclops with a pumpkin for its iris, a few pumpkins eating smaller pumpkins, one with an ornate drawing which Lindsay was for people without pumpkin carving skills, a bear pumpkin was in one of the cages, there was a cat that was starting to rot. Lindsay said I should be the one to light my pumpkin.
Lindsay's favorite Miyazaki film is Princess Mononoke.
Lindsay has two black cats which she insists are the cutest, even cuter than tuxedo cats, one longhair and one shorthair, a tarantula, two rats, and some other things I've forgotten, probably some kind of lizard.
"Pumpception" she said.
"Inception, with pumpkins" someone else said.
"Except you had to explain the joke. If you have to explain a joke, then there is no joke!"
"I like explaining jokes."
"Well, the Joker doesn't."
She played Final Fantasy X-2 and Final Fantasy XIII in one sitting once. I tend to 100% things that aren't unreasonable, why yes, chocobo racing, I am thinking about you, and Final Fantasy XIII from Manasvin Warmech to Vercingetorix took 75 hours and Final Fantasy XIII-2 from Chaos Bahamut to Raspatil took 55 hours. She said she didn't do all the hunts, though, but maybe enough hunts to be decently leveled. I think she said her favorite is IV, which she had on the original SNES. She likes VI, thought VIII wasn't great, and I said that VIII is more enjoyable when you understand the game's mechanics and about all the things like card mod and draw points and don't spend your time drawing magic.
She played 20 minutes of the latest Mario game before we started lighting pumpkins. Her favorite Zelda game is Breath of the Wild, which I have not played. She called Majora's Mask intense. She said the games are perfect although I hate how slowly Twilight Princess starts off.
She gets it: the problem I had with Xenoblade is that either you're playing on a standard definition TV that isn't also widescreen, and all the text is unreadable, or you play it on a HD TV and it's all jagged and unreadable.
She was sneezing and the pronuncation of egészségedre eluded her.
She was on her phone. The X where we were standing (she was standing on it, just in case a missle hits) was too far from the building to get their wifi.

I've been watching Geek Remix videos of Until Dawn. "Understand the palm of my hand, bitch." FEISTY SLAP OF PAIN.
Also, I have that same hat, except in cream and brown.
She had a song by Boys Night Out stuck in her head.
one of her favorite bands is The Dear Hunter, which is not to be confused with Deerhunter, which, in turn, is not to be confused with Deerhoof.
She brought up a movie called The Cars That Ate Paris, which has cars with teeth drawn on the front. In response, I told her about Night of the Lepus.
Some people walked by with scintillant and rainbow and blinking lights on their costumes and Lindsay started dancing.
She said that she was the raver, that guy was the rave.
Hearing about dancing in the rain made her feel cold.
She said that she doesn't really think about bodily functions during her panic attacks but does feel nausea. I'm saying this because I had to pee a lot yesterday.
She was impressed with my Bob Belcher pumpkin.
Someone else wanted to see it but I think it went out. "Hugo the Health Inspector had his revenge on Bob," I said.
She went on a bathroom break around 7:10 and never came back but she'll be proud to know that the spider that everyone loved did not go out. I don't know if she was lost or hungry or both. She said she only ate some rolled up ham and wanted a lot lot lot of fast food. She missed the color-shifting rave moon boots but she'll be proud to know that the spider pumpkin didn't go out.
burning question: a few weeks ago, it rained on me and the sky was clear. Was I in some sort of empathetic environment?
