My goatdom is done, but I couldn’t finish without one last post.

Sadly, this Halloween was disappointing. Probably half the amount of children came compared to last year. Last year was probably half the amount of the year before. It’ll be 2020 before Halloween falls on a weekend again. Next year I’ll definitely just have to go to the Halloween festivals on the weekend.

It kind of bummed me out that some ungrateful teenagers came by that weren’t even dressed up. It was towards the end of the night, and I was tired. I was just standing at the end of the driveway, barely even moving when this group comes by. The tallest one gets close to me and says, “What do you think we are, a bunch of kids?” Wtf does that even mean?

I’ll just have to remember the ones that were really appreciative. I posed for several photos. Had a lot of adults tell us how awesome the house looked. One of them actually thanked us for celebrating.

The fog was ok. It was a bit windy. At the end of the night, after 10, we started cleaning up the stuff that couldn’t stay outside. Right before I was leaving, closer to 11, the wind died down completely, the grass was dewy, and it was around 65℉. The fog machines looked awesome. It was rolling into the neighbor’s yards and the streets. I was a little sad that it didn’t look that way all night. It was super creepy and no one got to see it!

Here’s a photo so you can kinda get an idea:

I’m still waiting for people to send me photos of my costume. I took one at home before I left though, just for @mfladd:

Today’s musical selection:
Nine Inch Nails
Probably my favorite band if you asked me for one favorite. Amorphis is pretty close, but I’ve been listening to NIN since I was a young teen or maybe a pre-teen. Not really sure.

Seen them in concert three times now. The first time I think I was 15. I was standing on the floor, fairly close. I was holding my new shirt and an art book that I bought. At one point Trent threw a half empty water bottle into the audience. It landed upside down, in my arms, soaking my book. There was a brief moment that I actually thought about keeping the bottle and drinking out of it. Lesson learned here was, buy stuff at the end of the concert, or at least carry a bag to put it in. Granted, back then, it was really annoying to bring bags.

Closer

I know when I watched the video as a teen… I felt funny feelings, haha. Trent is just so good looking, plus he’s blindfolded and hanging from the ceiling. I like men on the thinner side. Longer hair is a plus. Even now that Trent is a lot more buff and has short hair, he still looks handsome as fuck.

The Perfect Drug

How romantic.
Damn. This song is 20 years old.

Terrible Lie

I love watching movies and I can tell so easily when Trent has had his hands in the soundtrack. Him and Atticus Ross are killing it. Way back when Quake was a thing, I remember playing it for the first time at a computer learning center with my friends. The one guy that worked there set up a LAN party so we could all play one night. I was the only girl there. Back then it seemed really rare for women to play. I was terrible at the game, and I died a lot. If you’ve ever played Quake, you know they have a lot of funny death messages depending in the gun you were using. At the time, I just put my actual name as my username. Well, it sounded really weird when you’d see things like “(my name) was penetrated by (some dude)” So, in a whim, I pulled a new username out of thin air, and that’s how RiotDemon was born. Playing the game, the soundtrack was instantly recognizable. NIN did it.

Here’s the main theme:

Get Down Make Love

This song makes me feel funny as an adult. Even his breathing is sexy.

When The Fragile CD came out, I would listen to it every day in this one high school class I had where we basically got free time every day to do whatever we wanted. The class was humanities, and the strangest class I ever took. I appreciated the music time.
We’re In This Together

Mr. Self Destruct

Heresy

Less Than

One of their newest songs

And that’s it. I’d pretty must post the entire NIN catalog if I could, cuz they’re so awesome.

I want to thank everyone that enjoyed my posts, especially @2many2no for bringing in songs of their own.
