My Favorite Toy

Toys. I have a lot of them. When people see my room they're a little overwhelmed with how many toys I have. I'm not talking about electronic or computer toys. I mean toys as in action figures.

It's not like I went out one day and bought all my toys at once. They were accumulated over many, many years. It's just a little disconcerting if you see it all at once.

Just a couple minutes ago, I was sitting in my room thinking which of these little pieces of plastic was my favorite. I really didn't have to think long because I knew right away: my Freddy Krueger doll.

I can still remember buying it with my mother. I was probably 11 or 12 at the time. We were at the flea market and I saw this item at one of the tables. I had loved the Freddy movies (I still do) but I had never seen a doll of the guy until that moment.

It struck me as kind of odd that a company would produce a doll like this because it would have to be a very twisted parent to buy their kid a doll of a dead serial child killer. It was at that moment of realization that I felt I had to have this doll.

After some convincing by me, my mother agreed to buy him for me. I couldn't have been happier.

Years later, I found out that this doll had actually been in stores prior to me seeing it at the flea market. Apparently some parents complained about it and it was pulled off the shelves. That's why I never saw it in stores. I'm so glad to have found it that fateful day.

Thanks mom!

Remembrance Day

I somehow missed out on donating this year and getting a poppy. I feel kind of upset at myself for not donating sooner.

The morning was pretty much spent sleeping because I had a rough night before. I've been feeling like I'm coming down with something so I thought it best that I got as much rest as I could.

The night was something entirely different. I had met up with a couple friends thinking that we would catch a movie or something, but instead we ended up going clubing. Now I'm not really into the club scene but it was a change of pace that I enjoy now and then. Where else can I really get to dance in my everyday life?

I actually had a pretty good time. We started the night by going to a pub that had male strippers and karaoke. I didn't sing or anything, but I did enjoy listening to the amateurs belt out a couple songs. The stippers weren't too shabby either...

A gay club was our next destination...in fact, it was a destination for many people that night. They were holding the "Smirnoff Ice Queen" contest and the club was packed! I've never seen a place so busy...there was hardly any room to walk. I have to admit that it was one of the more fun clubs that I've been to. They had a drag show and live rave music. For once, the music suited my dancing style.

Very Nice.

Laughing on the Bus

I was listening to "Fox and the City" on the bus the other day. It's a podcast by Ragan Fox which is extremely funny. It was so hilarious that I almost started laughing in public. It was quite embarrassing because I've actually seem people start to giggle spontaneously in public, which just makes those people look insane. I've become one of those people.
