HAPPY HALLOWEEN to all my lj friends!
I've missed you all very much, & am sorry I've had to limit my time here so severely. I hope a few of you are still around to see this, but since I do it as much for me as for anyone else, I'll continue the tradition as long as I can. I'll be offline until after the holiday, so here is my annual “holiday spirit” post.
If you're looking for some online resources to help "set the mood" for the holiday, I have compiled a list of favourite/useful links. I began collecting these (mostly free) Halloween resources a few years ago, but try to add & update a bit every year, so please check it out. ( Enjoy! )
current mood:  busy
current music: Me & the Ghost Upstairs- Fred Astaire

It's Tuesday evening, therefore I must be at the library, trying to catch up. Why yes, I know that fine aroma of homeless person, patchouli, & books. Ah, home away from home.
Hmm, wonder if the audio is working?
Hey lj peeps. I'm here 'til 8. Give a shout if your online.
current mood:  awake

After two months and hundreds of images, the National Trust for Historic Preservation and Fireman's Fund Insurance are proud to announce that 12 finalists have been picked -- and now YOU can vote for the winner! As a proud (if sporadic) member of the Friends of Plum & Pilot Islands (see their website & my logo design here: http://www.plumandpilot.org/iWeb/PlumandPilotIslandsInc/Home.html ) I would hugely appreciate it if you would take the time to visit this site, register to vote (they just want name & email address, & you can opt out of receiving emails) & vote for fund to restore the beautiful & historic boathouse on Plum Island. Remember- those of you lucky enough to have daily internet access- you can vote every day! Yay, go, Boathouse!!!

12:52 pm - Bisexuality Day
|
Celebrate Bisexuality Day is observed on September 23 by members of the bisexual community and their supporters.
Taken from Wikipedia: This day is a call for bisexual people and their families, friends and supporters to recognize and celebrate bisexuality, bisexual history, bisexual community and culture, and the bisexual people in their lives.
First observed in 1999, Celebrate Bisexuality Day is the brainchild of three United States bisexual rights activists: Wendy Curry of Maine, Michael Page of Florida, and Gigi Raven Wilbur of Texas. Wilbur said,
“
Ever since the Stonewall rebellion, the gay and lesbian community has grown in strength and visibility. The bisexual community also has grown in strength but in many ways we are still invisible. I too have been conditioned by society to automatically label a couple walking hand in hand as either straight or gay, depending upon the perceived gender of each person.
”
This celebration of bisexuality in particular, as opposed to general LGBT events, was conceived as a response to the prejudice and marginalization of the bisexual persons by some in both the straight and greater LGBT communities.
In its first year, an observance was held during the International Lesbian and Gay Association, which occurred during the week of the 23rd. While at first it only took hold in areas with an extremely strong bisexual presence, it is now celebrated worldwide.
It features event such as discussions, dinner parties and dances in Toronto and a large masquerade ball in Queensland, Australia. At Texas A&M University, the week featured discussion panels and question-and-answer sessions. Princeton University celebrates this day each year by throwing a party at its LGBT Center. It has also been celebrated in Germany, Japan, New Zealand, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

3:02 pm - It's about time, doncha think?
|
Gods having a fast 'puter makes a difference. Just caught up on 2 more blogs when it took me almost 2 hours & didn't finish the first (getting distracted by a ghost ballad didn't help, I know). Now, do I stay for my 3:30 reservation & push on 'til the Library closes @ 5, or do I go, get the shopping & other chores done? Damn this weekend went fast.
current mood: relieved
current music: I Want Candy

Ooh, look, something shiny!
