Happy Halloween



I dressed up at work and because my secretary didn't tell me I had A PARENT coming to see me about sending his kid here I had to meet him dressed up as a blue fairy and he's the brother of a former coworker who was uber Christian and hated the holiday so that was fun... And that's all I'm saying about today because it was a pissy work day.




After I left the school it got better up until my GPS tried to murder me on a dirt road from hell. After work, I went to the haunted cemetery, Tyn Rhos. My Welsh is rusty at best but I think that means 'Tight Moor.' (which seems like a direct translation that utterly misses the intent). Didn't see anything too weird, lots of Evanses, Joneses, Thomases & Davis/Davies, but there were interesting pictures, here a few. The one corner with all the Thomases had a weird feel. I was definitely not alone there and later as I was leaving as I rolled past in the car my cell phone camera suddenly went off on a burst of picture taking...inside it's carrying case with nothing touching it.

I came home and embarrassed the crap out of Kanda by putting him in a Count Dracula outfit. And I finished a shit down of Holiday stories. You can see the FMA one here. How about links to my pro work? ALL of them are totally clean reads for a change.

Peril in Point Pleasant The boys from my Triskelion universe are sent to Point Pleasant but it's not Mothman they're hunting.

Midnight in Moonville I turned my bad experience at the fest into Halloween fic

TNT Terror A ghost hunting group goes Mothman hunting in Point Pleasant (Yes I wrote close to home this year and hey, evil_little_dog gets an honorable mention.

And now I have to bust my ass to do a blog post for my Once Upon a Time in the Weird West story, even before I journey into my nano because it's due by the end of the week and I'm NOT mucking that up.

And now pictures

On the way to work -

On the road to Tyn Rhos...something sasquatch hunters look for, criss crossing trees

The road to Tyn Rhos (finally on the paved parts again)

The original church



The 'new church' (1850s)

The cemetery

Lots of 'draped' ones

two in this mother-father style

And yeah, the fresh grave disturbed me a bit as I didn't think this was an active site.


This is where I felt like I was being surrounded.
