Remember, Remember the Fifth of November, The Gunpowder Treason and Plot; I know of no reason why The Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot

and you know the rest. Or I hope you do. If you are lost to as what I'm on about, here's a nice link to Wikipedia so that you may enlighten yourself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes_Night
Since I live in the USA, it's not really celebrated here. Which is disappointing. So my brother and myself have decided to settle for watching V for Vendetta whilst saying the rhyme to unsuspecting, mostly confused strangers we see. =D

Halloween 2009 has come and gone. But good times were had. My friends and I had a blast at the haunted house Friday night. Saturday after work, threw on my costume and handed out candy to the kiddies before heading over to a Halloween party of fun.

My costume? Star Trek themed of course. Mind you though, I didn't go as one of the main crew. Nope. I represented those who beam down, but usually don't beam back. That's right. I was a Dead Redshirt. It was awesome! Sadly, only about 6 people actually understood what I was. The rest just knew I was from Star Trek. Pics under the cut.

One of my neighbors had the best reaction to my costume. He brought his son to my house to Trick or Treat (who was a Stormtrooper. so cute!) and when I opened the door, his face lit up. He laughed and said "Has anyone guess that you're a TOS Redshirt?" I told him no, he was the first to get it. He then said "Makes me wish I would've worn my Picard uniform. even have the lack of hair for it. oh, and do you know of any big conventions around here? I went to one in Milwaukee back in '96, but really haven't seen much."  That pretty much made me gleeful and I told him that his best bet would be the Chicago Conventions. I gave his son extra candy and sent them on their way. He told me we'd have to chat again. Yay for Trekkie Neighbors!!!!

Now. Pics of my costume! Sorry if they're a bit huge. Photobucket hates me currently. =\
Each week on the Enterprise, all the Redshirts would die..... )

 In the neighboring town at the school my two cousins attend, suicides seem to be the trend this year. Since school started in September, there have now been 6 or 7 suicides by students. The most recent being yesterday and today. It's a small town, one where everyone knows everyone. And it's being ripped apart by these tragic deaths. The worst part about it is that just last week the school did a Suicide Intervention with the entire school.  Yet that seems to not have mattered.

My heart particularly feels heartbroken for one of my cousins, as the suicide that occurred yesterday was a friend of hers. No words can convey the sense of loss and devastation all the families and friends of those who've passed are going through. Yet I feel this won't matter much because the media has been growing curious and from what's been said, they are going to start looking into the suicides come the end of this week. I pray that they just leave the families be to grieve instead of hounding them about their deceased children.

I pray this doesn't turn into a media frenzy. Rather, the deaths stop while those who've lost loved ones can grieve and try to start healing in peace.

I think shitastic would be the best was to describe my past few weeks. Just. ugh.  Can there be some balance or normality to life again?

First off. Found out I own about a $1000 from an ER visit two months ago. which wouldn't be such a big deal seeing as I just got accepted for Health Insurance, who states clearly that they will do backdated payments up to three months before you applied. Which should cover it except now they're saying they might not and I have to come up magically with $1000 by the end of next week.

Second. I had H1N1 aka Swine Flu two weeks ago. Now I have what they think is a really horrible case of Bronchitis. Feels like I've been hit by a truck. No voice, hurts to move because all my muscles in chest area are killing me from coughing so hard. Plus my nose is so runny and apparently my tear ducts don't know how to shut off. So disgusting.

Thirdly. Went into to work the other day. Everyone was kinda quiet and whatnot, which is a rarity because it's always noisy. Our Assistant Manager came up and informed me that a former co-worker committed suicide. Which took everyone by surprise. I mean, I didn't really know him outside of work. Not sure what his life was like when he wasn't working. But he always seemed so happy and was always joking, smiling, or laughing. It's..depressing and shocking. It's also disheartening because his family and friends are going through so much pain. Just..so very sad.

I think the only good thing to happen lately is that my father and grandmother made amends. They're now speaking after giving each other the silent treatment for a year.

Oh.My.God. *FANGIRLY SQUEES*

So I'm sitting here watching episodes of The Universe on the History channel. They are discussing different possible ways the Earth could be destroyed. Sudden stop of orbit, moving too close/too far from the Sun, turning off the gravity, etc.

My personal favorite so far?
A Singularity (aka black hole) occuring in the core of the planet, eventually consuming it all. Even better? the model they used to explain looked exactly like Vulcan being consumed by the singularity from the new Star Trek film. only Earth instead of  Vulcan. Only difference, no pissed off Romulans or red matter used with a giant drill. huh.  Oh, and in case you want to know...apparently the Himalayas will be the last place on Earth to be destroyed.

Even better? One of the scientist described the idea as exciting. Oh yeah, the idea of being sucked into a black hole and ripped down to my atoms is really thrilling. Let me put that on the top of my list of things to do....
