Still the wanting comes in waves

It's Halloween! Let's do a little trick or treating, shall we? Comment here (as many times as you like) with "Trick or Treat!" and a request (for a picture, or a drabble, or something!) or a prompt or whatever, and I'll either respond with whatever that is (treat!), or I'll give you something entirely different of my choosing (trick!).

:DDD

So here's the thing about me and scary movies: generally, if I'm watching them in daylight and with a bunch of other people, it's not too bad at first. Take this Saturday for example - I managed to get through Behind the Mask (which was more interesting than scary, admittedly), Paranormal Activity 2 (jesus fucking christ), and Trick r' Treat (again, pretty cool despite the scary elements). And it was fine! I mean, PA2 was fucking distressing, but I liked the story? and I thought it was shot in an interesting way? And I didn't have any trouble sleeping that night or anything.

But then, of course, last night I'm back in my apartment and I could barely make myself leave my room to walk two steps to the bathroom, AND I had nightmares until I woke up at 2. I pretty much refused to go back to sleep after that. Also, I had to keep my desk lamp on for a while because something in my room was making a weird pattern on my ceiling in the dark (it took me an hour or so to realize it was the status light on my phone projecting up from where it was sitting on my computer tower ><).

This will probably go on for another couple of days, and then eventually I'll be able to get the image of the possessed woman appearing in the house from nowhere and killing her sister and brother-in-law out of my head. My brain has a hard time letting things like that go for some reason. I know that it's not real, but. I dunno. :\

Anyway! Besides the nightmares and very little sleep last night, this weekend was excellent! I mean, there was at least a foot of snow on Saturday where we were, but it's not all that bad when you're warm and cozy and having fun with your jerk friends, you know? So we ate a lot of food and watched movies and did some crafts and all was well. [livejournal.com profile] pocky_slash posted pictures of us in our costumes here - I was drunk!fanboy!Tony Stark, thanks to Kait's last minute awesome idea skills (and her color printer). I am still MOST amused by this, of course. \o?

Tonight after work I'm going to Harvard Square to chill and try to write for a while, and then [livejournal.com profile] chicleeblair and I are having dinner together! And then once I get home I have to do all the laundry and all the fandom things. Like my Big Bang Mix Up mixes. That are due tomorrow. And are only half done. Um. Oops? And I was doing so well with this. >.>

How are things, friends? Everyone hanging in there?

Erik crawls into bed well past midnight and groans into his pillow. Charles absently rubs his back with one hand and flips the page he's been correcting with the other, murmurs something vaguely comforting as he notes an error in the first sentence on the new side. "Children all abed?" Charles asks as he reaches for the red pen that had fallen between them a moment ago. He strikes another word before setting the stack of papers on the bedside table.

"Either the candy companies are putting more sugar into their products," Erik says, "or I'm getting old. Very, very old."

Charles laughs and rolls himself over as best he can, settling half on top of Erik. He kisses Erik's neck before nosing gently at the same patch of bare skin. "My poor, poor Erik," says Charles. "Run ragged by a gaggle of young, sugar-infused mutants."

"Pray, do not mock me: I am a very foolish fond old man," is his reply. Erik shifts onto his back and gathers Charles closer. "The children seem to get younger and younger every year."

"That does tend to happen," Charles agrees. He angles his head up for a kiss. "Do you regret it?" he asks once they've parted. He already knows the answer.

"Never," says Erik. "And I never will."
