So, it is October.
Charlie here, and I really, really, want to have a few words, so I'm hijacking Tobes' account again. (No, nothing's wrong with him this time, he's fine, I just can't be bothered creating an account of my own. Everybody knows Tobes, so it is just easier if I post this here.)
So, yeah. October. And yes, I'm a witch. So this should be my time of year, right? Wrong. Instead I get pounded with all sorts of rubbish. People thinking decorations are hauntings. Decorations that really are haunted. Idiots trying out some spell they got from a mail-order place in Minnesota, Reading, or, goddess help me, Bendigo. Other idiots thinking the kids that have watched too much American TV, and want to go trick-or-treating are actual ghouls, goblins, or whatever.
So, yeah. Fecking October. Now remember I'm also trying to get my real work done at the same time as all this garbage.
So please, please, PLEASE try to actually pay attention? And try to avoid doing anything stupid until November. Or, better still, leave the spells and summonings to the professionals? Please?
