Halloween







Happy Halloween
_______________________________________________

I do really like Halloween because i think that witches come out on Halloween and dance about the woods casting spells, this may not be true but if i was a witch i would go dancing in the woods on Halloween.
Unfortunatly i am past the age of going trick or treating and haven't had a chance to dress up, i am disappointed in how poorly decorated my living room is for Halloween.
Perhaps i should get my own decorations next year.

Here are some Halloween Facts.

  • Signs of a werewolf are a uni brow, hair palms, tattoos, and a long middle finger.
  •  Vampires are mythical beings who defy death by sucking the blood of humans.
  • In 1962, The Count Dracula Society was founded by Dr. Donald A. Reed. 
  • To this day, there are vampire clubs and societies with people claiming to be real vampires.
  • There really are so-called vampire bats, but they're not from Transylvania. They live in Central and South America and feed on the blood of cattle, horses and birds.
  • Many people still believe that gargoyles were created by medieval architects and stone carvers to ward off evil spirits.
  • If you see a spider on Halloween, it could be the spirit of a dead loved one who is watching you.
  • To meet a witch, put your clothes on inside out and walk backwards on Halloween night.

As i was looking over the internet for some Halloween facts, i found a site that explained the truths about witches and the myths.
For me the myths are a lot more interesting and related to Halloween, so here are the so called myths of witches.

Witches are evil and worship Satan.

Witches use witchcraft to cast spells and curses on people.

Witches ride around on broomsticks.

All witches own black cats and can turn into black cats.

Witches melt when you pour water on them.

Witches are immortal.


Facts about werewolves.
I found some of these on a website and are a mixture of the truths and myths about werewolves.

Werewolves are human beings under a curse.

A werewolf, after being killed will turn into a vampire.

Silver bullets are the only thing that can kill a werewolf.

Werewolves are immortal.

When a werewolf turns back into a human they have no recollection of the previous events as a werewolf.

Werewolf hunters believe you can get away from a werewolf and be safe by climbing an ash tree.


I am continuing the Halloween facts 
:)

Girls who carry a lamp to a spring of water on this night can see their future husband in the reflection. 

If you hear footsteps trailing close behind you on Halloween night, do not to turn around to see who it is, for it may be Death himself! To look Death in the eye, according to ancient folklore, is a sure way to hasten your own demise.

A person born on Halloween can both see and talk to spirits.

The Witches Caldron
"Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog"
"Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing"

"For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and babble"

"Double, double, toil and trouble,
Fire burn, and caldron bubble"


There's a goblin at my window,
A monster by my door.
The pumpkin at my table
Keeps on smiling more and more.
There's a ghost who haunts my bedroom,
A witch whose face is green.
They used to be my family,
Till they dressed for Halloween.

Betrayal

I have been betrayed by somebody and it has really upset me, i wish that person never told me they knew about my - meant to be - secret blog and that i wasn't watching what i was writing right now and regretting what i have previously wrote. And now i can't write any more little stories again.
If you are reading this you are continuing the betrayal against me, even if i told you to look at this post.
I am deeply saddened by this unfortunate event.

Best Friends and Boyfriends


This post i am writing is about something that has been affecting me a lot recently.
I have two best friends Rose and Lucy, we are completely different people but we get along really well, we all used to work together until me and Lucy quit where we worked before.
The problem is we all have boyfriends.
I have been going out with my boyfriend for just over nine months and then Rose got her boyfriend in May and Lucy just the other month.

Whilst me and Lucy were at leeds festival there was the first issue, i had gone looking for my boyfriend one night but couldn't find him so i went back to our tent.
I had informed Lucy where i was going to check if it was okay and she was on the phone to her boyfriend and seemed fine with it.
When i got in the tent she was there getting into her sleeping bag and she shouted really harshly at me about how i put my boyfriend first and make no time for anybody else.
I proved to her how that wasn't true and spent the rest of the time there not daring to ask if i could go find him.

I was deeply hurt by what she has said because i make a huge point that boyfriends aren't everything and you don't know how long it will last no matter how good the relationship and i would never dream of turning my back on my best friends just because of a boy.

Of course it doesn't help that Lucy doesn't really like my boyfriend and he doesn't like her at all, but they don't know that and they get along fine when they're together.

And now everything is totally different.
This time last year just Rose had a boyfriend - not the one she is with now - but he was at uni so it never stepped in the way. We were always together buying takeaways and watching films, going for drinks and all sorts whereas now it's very rare i see them outside of school/work.

My main issue was that Rose and Lucy both go to school with their boyfriends and they are always with them, so most of the time i am alone and it really upsets me because people don' t talk to me as much when i am not with them.
I was feeling really down one day so told Rose and she stopped ignoring me when he boyfriend was there and now i am always with Rose at school.
However Lucy has really changed, since being with her boyfriend she only talks to me about work or to complain about her boyfriend.
She will stop half way through a conversation and go somewhere with him.
She never asks me to do anything.
She has decided not to go to university anymore.
And she hardly ever comes to school.
Also on my way to work last night i saw her and her boyfriend and then today found out she had been asked to go to work and told them she couldnt.

That made me snap and i shouted at her a little bit about it, she was shocked and then she left. I text her saying that it did come from somewhere because she is different.
I told her it was since she has been with her boyfriend and i haven't spoken to her since.

I'd like to tell her how i feel and that i am really disappointed that she shouted at me for it and now she is doing it to the extreme.
When i get the chance i am going to sort it out and hopefully arrange once a month that we all go do something together NO BOYFRIENDS.
Rose is having a house party on Friday so hopefully she will come there and i can get a chance to talk to her.

Positive outlook


Recently i haven't been in the mood to tolerate much and so my cloudy mood has been reflecting on others and my temper.
I have been saddened by not working, especially when there was a shift available and the person didn't show.
In a result i am lacking behind financially and schools making my feel black as normal.
I just want to tell myself that everything is cool it's just being silly at the moment and we get a week off school on Friday, then it's Halloween and NOVEMBER!
I am really excited to get my hair cut tomorrow even though i have to put off dying it for a while, i just want to wish myself good luck for the next few weeks, i hope your days lighten up a bit.

Pray for a successful weekend of a mixture of activities :)

Love


Happy endings are for stories that haven't finished yet
___________________________________________

Today there was some minor bad news in my house, i only say minor because it wasn't a death or something else tragic, however it did affect most of us and my sister inparticular.
She found out today that her boyfriend cheated on her, which was a real shock as he really isn't that sort of person.
He moved away to go to university last month and things started to get a little rocky and so she sensed something was wrong. 
We all have a feeling they will work past it and hope that they do, nobody can imagine them breaking up so fingers crossed that he comes back this weekend and everything gets sorted.

This event really got me thinking about love and how we are meant to detect if it's real or not? 

People who i have seen in what i would call, good relationships are couples who act like best friends and intimate partners also. Those who never feel uncomfortable or embarrased around their loved one and who genuinely share everything together.

I also hear adults saying "You're too young to know what love is" and i wonder if that is in fact true or not.
Can you ever be too young for love?
I think you can, it is a strong word and we change and adapt ourselves accordingly when we find love, plans may change and things can be put on hold. And when you're young and have your life ahead of you, you should probably be thinking of yourself rather than another human as well.

There are many implications to love, it isn't a happy road to go down, not everything is rosey and swell, there are big decisions to be made, trust issues, paranoia. 
Those in love have arguments, they push each other, but if it's meant to be you'll always work around things.

So why do we as a race want to find love so badly?

For me, love cannot be searched for, it has to be found unexpectedly.
There are countless movies and endless songs about that urge to find love, to have love and to have lost love.
I just don't know what it is we all want...

To take away the loneliness
To have someone to rely on
Someone to hug and kiss
someone to buy us presents and take us places
someone to plan things with
and to have that hope that we'll get asked that big question?

Luckily i am not one of those girls who is going to fantasies over a crush, or make girly plans on how to see them Saturday and then squeeze myself in to sit with them in the cinema.
I was never bothered about a romance, even though i witnessed my friends go through it, it never occured to me to find it.
Mainly because i'd seen those same friends be hurt by it and i really didn't want that low, pitiful feeling of being walked on.
So i wasn't interested, then nine months ago it did happen and i didn't fall head over heels, or loose my mind in love, i was careful not to get hurt and i wasn't about to put all my energy in to a boy, i prioritise my life and i believe i have had a healthy out look on love.

Because maybe one day it will be, but i can't see it for myself...
Perhaps i will end up watching some romance film on a Saturday night, crying whilst eating my way through sweets and chocolate asking why it went wrong.
Love doesn't always last but sometimes it does and when it's meant to last, it will do, not matter what.

Getting more active

                                                  I have had a pretty interesting week!


It started off with an unbearable Monday which completely dragged and i had a load of school stuff to catch up on and when i finally got home i collapsed in bed as i wasn't feeling very well and spent the next two days laying in that very spot.
When i was heavily dosed up with medication and feeling a lot better i decided to go back to school on Thursday, it was a good day to return because i only do half a school day and then my boyfriend was coming to sleep for the night.
When i arrived home i decided to call the nursing home, where i had gone for an interview. As i hadn't heard anything from them... They answered and i was passed onto the manager who told me she was going to ring me later on, then offered me a job at the nursing home, i was very happy however it was a banking job, where they would only need me every so often!

This made a little uneasy because i haven't been working at my other job for two weekends, because they didn't need me and i was really upset about it.
However i was still really interested but i can't start employment until they have a 2nd reference from me and my CRB comes through. So i went straight round to get my form and hand over another reference. 


Moving along... I filled out the CRB and went to hand it in the following day, where i asked if i could have a quick chat with her. We sat in her office and i told her when i started work (fingers crossed) that would be my priority job and i would be willing to quit my other job if i could have more hours there. She seemed very happy about my enthusiasm and agreed that would be an option once everything was sorted, although it's still early days to be talking permanently yet.


I would much rather keep both my jobs because 1, i need the money and 2, i want to have a busier lifestyle, i am tired of lazying about i want to get up and go!
My sudden lift of spirits have really helped me get active and i am looking forward to a hopefully busy working life within the next month.
Watch me regret this then :)

My little story.

i am going to quickly mention that i would never normally write something like that, i much prefer to write adventure/fantasy stories. And i have wrote a book i one day hope to get published, well i was 14 when i wrote the first draft and pretty much the entire plot has changed since then.
