My cat wont stop stalking me. I go to the bathroom, he sits outside and waits. I go to sleep, he sits inside and waits. I leave the door open and the 15 pounder falls asleep on me. I eat my dinner, he sits and watches. I'm on the computer, her sits behind the keyboard area and watches. I lave the house and he tries to follow me out. O.o
The other one bothers me at a normal cat frequency, but avoids me if the stalker is around.

TRIED to blow up Parliament.
Him and his mates were caught, and executed in a VERY permanent way.
It's a tradition that we build a replica of him each year called a "Guy", and burn it on a bonfire. Then we loose off loads of fireworks, and eat bonfire food. Personally, my favourite event of the year.
Undertone is that Fawkesy boy and his buckos were Catholics. Burning Catholics was very much in vogue at the time.
But who cares? A sausage in a bun is a sausage in a bun!

If ya have a cam, could ya take some diwali and bonfire photos? My friend shows me diwali photos sometimes. The Lakshmi-Puja celebration is pretty. My friend teaches art in Trinidad, in a Hindu temple. Someone robbed the place, took all the laptops and money, so they might not have much of a celebration this year.

I'd like to see the cake you made. I don't think I saw it. I'm very big on arts and crafts, and cooking fits in there, i think.
The lights stuff is what I was talking about. I love how all the lights glow. I think it looks prettier than Christmas celebrations, honestly. I'm not Hindu and I don't know what it's like to have a Hindu family pushing traditions and beliefs all of the time. But I just think ritual is such a beautiful thing. I've been to Christian churches as a kid where everyone look undead, nobody knows how to sing and the place looks like a giant cubicle. I love Gothic architecture. I love lights. I love music. I love festivities. I think it helps knock people out of their everyday routines.
But I'm not sure what I'll do for Samhain/Halloween. I used to go to these Samhain Masquerade Balls in Manhattan. Then eventually, I helped organize them. We would have professional DJs and bands. We'd have food for sale, vendors, and tarot and rune readings. We even had an aura reader one day. Then around midnight, we'd have our Samhain ritual and remember all of the people who have passed on for the year. We'd take whatever money we had leftover from the evening and donate to charity.
But I have been a solitary practitioner for several years now. Sometimes I will have a ritual, if I can manage to have the house to myself and folk don't interrupt me. I'll also take the time out to do an energy cleansing on the entire house. But if I can't do that, I'll just find a room to be by myself in the dark with a candle and think about the dead that way. I focus mostly on offerings lately than asking for anything. Would rather give without expectations than focus on discontent.
Oh and, I'm not sure what my friend will do. It seems that the area is below the poverty line as is and they really saved up the money for just about everything. I just hope that things get recovered. They think it was an inside job.

What exactly did you put on top? I see some kiwi and what I'm guessing is either melon, pineapple or mango? Cakes with jelly in them taste good but I haven't tried much like them. I know some people use guava cheese, which isn't really cheese, but it's like a really thick jelly.
My favorite cake lately has been red velvet cake. It's kind of a chocolate cake but better, imo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_velvet_cake

i just spoke on forum 1 just can't make sense of why censors closed spam thread and on what basis they are eh thinking. it seems unreasonable to shut any mature discussion about something too which has no rules broken heh. really though is this how they encourage players to stay playing? sometimes i really do find it difficult to shut up, must clean room =/

Both my cats are like that, except both of them like to follow with to the bathroom. One of them moves like lightning too. I stopped being bothered by it and attempt to catch them to throw them out. Usually they like to be in the sink and play with the water which I leave running for them. They don't sit and stare at me thankfully I know guests are bothered by it
