Wow! I can’t believe I’ve reached over 10,000 followers. Thank you all for following me and being so kind and wonderful! I’ve got amazing people following this blog and I’ve made friends with many of you, I’ve even had the pleasure of meeting some of you in person! I love when you all tag me in things, send me asks, send me messages; it makes me remember why I keep this blog going. 

So, I want to thank you with a giveaway!

The Prizes:

First Prize: A copy of Cryptozoology A to Z signed (and dated) by Loren Coleman. I got this book signed when I went to Maine to see him speak at Fort Knox. 

Second Prize: A Cryptozoology Toob filled with little figurines of some of Cryptozoology’s wonders. My personal favorite in this little Toob is the Fur-Bearing Trout, but you knew that. Also a choice of either 1 patch (Made by MaidenVoyageClothing) or Bigfoot Air Freshener (May either smell like feet or pine trees).

Third Prize: Remaining 2 patches (by MaidenVoyageClothing) or 1 patch and Bigfoot Air Freshener.

Everything but the Toob was bought when I visited either Loren at Fort Knox in Maine or when I visited the International Cryptozoology Museum in Maine; so some of the proceeds from me buying them went to the museum to help keep it going.

The Rules:

You must be following this blog.

You must be okay with giving me your address for items to be shipped to you.

No giveaway blogs.

I will probably be able to ship internationally. But I might have to check the price first.

Multiple reblogs do count as separate entries. Just please don’t spam your followers!

I’ll be using a random number generator to get the winners.

These are being shipped after being in my home for a while; I do have cats and dogs. If you are allergic please take this into consideration.

The winners will be chosen on Saturday, November 26th, 2016 (and sent out the following week).

The winners will have 24 hours to reply before I pick a new number.

Sometimes you have to mope around the house for a weekend and rewatch Skins so dramatic teenagers can express your adult emotions for you.

I’m trying to tell you something…

I didn’t know why I was going to cry, but I knew that if anybody spoke to me or looked at me too closely the tears would fly out of my eyes and the sobs would fly out of the throat and I’d cry for a week.

“Wish you were weird.”

“I don’t believe in witches,” the young man said, shaking his head.

She sighed, signed the check, and wished her date well. It was not going to work out. She stroked his stubbly cheek and smiled sadly. “Wish you were weird.”

As she left the bistro, she removed his contact information from her address book and memory with a flick of a finger.

People pretend things didn’t happen. Or so what, they happened, it’s okay. Well, it’s never okay. It’s always ruined.

Beware the autumn people. For some, autumn comes early, stays late, through life, where October follows September and November touches October and then instead of December and Christ’s birth there is no Bethlehem Star, no rejoicing, but September comes again and old October and so on down the years, with no winter, spring or revivifying summer. For these beings, fall is the only normal season, the only weather, there be no choice beyond. Where do they come from? The dust. Where do they go? The grave. Does blood stir their veins? No, the night wind. What ticks in their head? The worm. What speaks through their mouth? The toad. What sees from their eye? The snake. What hears with their ear? The abyss between the stars. They sift the human storm for souls, eat flesh of reason, fill tombs with sinners. They frenzy forth. In gusts they beetle-scurry, creep, thread, filter, motion, make all moons sullen, and surely cloud all clear-run waters. The spider-web hears them, trembles—breaks. Such are the autumn people.
