Things that make you go Oooooo (October 2011)

Happy Halloween! Do you have any exciting plans for tonight? My plans tonight consist of a huge bowl of popcorn, a couple dozen packets of sweets, and a pile of scary movies to watch and a knife at my side! October has been a strange month it started off like summer and now it's ended in winter, I've had intense busy times and times of sheer boredom so I'm almost glad to welcome in a new month....
