*hugs* I'm so sorry to hear that you are having difficulties. Crying is good though, it helps to work through the emotions so you can deal with the issues.

Japanfest sounds amazing! We have something similar in Feb here and I've really enjoyed every time I've gone. I hope you have a great time.

Can't wait to hear about Haunted Ouija, that sounds facinating.

Halloween is my favorite holiday! We did really well with trick or treaters last year so hopefully this year will be good too. I've never done trunk or treat but it sounds like a lot of fun. Anything that involves decorating and giving candy to kids can't be bad.
