Halloween beckons! And it's full of weird metal bugs, leggy spiders, funny skulls and skeleton arms. Oh, and gonks of course. All the gonks. Great.

I had a black cat name Drusilla (the one from my profile pictures) who passed away this spring. But when she was young we came across that exact tinsel cat at the Dollar Tree. We had just watched the Family Guy episode with Bitch Stewie the Stewie clone. So we called the tinsel cat Bitch Dru. Drusilla did not like Bitch Dru. We recently found Bitch Dru in storage and it made us smile. Happy to see her cousins are still finding homes as well.

When I was a kid in the 90's we had those jelly bugs here in the US but they were called slimey slurpees. They were shaped like bugs spiders snakes and frogs. They basically tasted like artificial chemically fruit. As a kid I thought they were great. I would probably find them disgusting now. We also had giant gummy spiders. They were pretty good.

I had to live outside when I was in college. (My scholarship wasn't enough to cover a room, and my jobs had to pay for tuition that my scholarship didn't quite cover all the way.) The worst part about being homeless was all the stereotypes that people believe about us just because we've been stuck without a place to stay for a while. And it's all made worse by the fact that most people aren't interested in the truth about who we really are. Every time I see something on a KZfaq channel that promotes one of those stereotypes, I unsubscribe immediately. I can't stand to hear the stereotypes. It makes me feel like I'm imploding into a sea of some sort of acid that rots away my entire body from the inside out.
