Culmination or Day of the Dead

That's it, it's now November and Fall will soon be over. Am I sad? Of course, but I also know that now I have a whole year to practice making better fake intestines and wounds, concentrate on getting the job that I really want, write and not spend the majority of my time obsessing about Halloween.

That said, here are some other things that my season included:

Last Friday I went out to the haunted corn maze on Sauvie's Island and spent 25 to 30 minutes running and screaming in corn. I don't know if it was because I was drunker than I have been in the past, or that the chainsaw was broken that night, but I don't think the Sauvie Island maze was as scary as the one outside of Eugene. The one outside of Eugene terrified me the first year and the second year my heart started racing even as we drove out to it (that was also the year my friend fell into the corn and took me down with him). Anyway, next year I think I'm going to try the Wicked Woods outside of Milbourne Manor in Hubbard. I hear it's pretty neat. Also on the to do list next year is the Lone Fir Cemetery tour (a cemetery I've been genuinely terrified in before so it should be good fun).

Then on Saturday I attened the 3rd Annual Portland Zombie Walk, which is perhaps the thing I am most looking forward to next year.
