@shima: Oh, I forgot. New Mexico too (saw 2 UFOs there).

@HIM: Hehehe, if you want to be, but its not Christmas yet. XD

Who says it's anything to do with Christmas *shudders at word*

Thinking of "ghost of past" made me instantly think of christmas cuz of that story with ghosts... x----x

*pokes HIM* Don't think about it... 0 30
I don't even decorate for it. Lol.

I don't like Christmas anymore. Thankfully we won't be having a tree up this year due to the fact the kitten would be in it.

Thoth Star - the Bermuda triangle fascinates me too. I've never been near it, but suspect that the area has some unusual energies that cause all the mysteries.

I haven't been to the Kennedy Space Center yet, but I'd like to go. I've never actually seen the Roswell tv series either - is it good? Heh - you've seen a lot more UFOs than I have. What kinds of things have you seen?

HIM_ROCK - You'd like it over here then (I'm currently in Japan) - not much Christmas here. It's actually a bit of a nice vacation from the constant bombardment of Christmas stuff the US has for months leading up to December. How overdone Christmas is in the US kinda spoiled the holiday for me. But this year I actually have classes on Christmas day, so that's how much of a non-Christmas I'll be having.

Everyone else (aka those too far away to be invited to the party) forgot about my birthday too (so much for Facebook reminders). So my birthday consisted of me sitting at a large table alone telling the waitresses "they should be here any minute . . . ."

Suzhi: I can sense things as well, but I don't physically see things (although I believe that some people can). They don't tend to bother me though, so I usually don't give them much thought.

Thoth Star: I once saw something that seemed at least somewhat UFO-like (no clue really what it was). It was night, and there were a lot of clouds in the sky. But behind one area of the clouds, there was a large and very distinct triangle that was reflecting the lights from the city below with a different color. It stayed there unmoving for a few minutes, then I looked away for just a few seconds, and it disappeared before I looked back.

I agree - weird experiences make life fascinating XD

Aww. :[ That's really sad. I'm sorry that happened.
I would have came, if I was your friend and you had invited me.
I don't skip out on people like that.

OH but I saw one of my friends (like best friends) at a store on black friday, and then I messaged her on myspace, and she said she was like really sorry and felt really bad and why didn't I talk to her when I saw her on black friday and all... so that was really cool. x]

I think the Bermuda triangle is really interesting too.

The commercialism of Christmas annoys me, but then, we do that with every holiday. :/

*nod* I see, HIM... I never buy christmas trees (too expensive), but when I lived in Oregon I used to go in the back yard and cut down a baby douglas tree, decorate it and than put it in our living room so that the house had a nice, piney smell. Lol.

Aww, thats great christa. Sounds like she definitely still wants to be your friend. ^^
You're sooo nice, darling. *kisses* <3333 I kinda want to go to the beach today cuz its clear blue skies out, but its so cold still...

Hehehehe. I like to wear bows. XD Am I your christmas present this yr? Lol.
I used to always decorate when I was a kid but ever since I moved out of my mom's house I haven't, cuz I have no christmas decorations or money to afford them... Ah well.

*nod* Mhmm, yes commercialism in America is associated with every holiday and practically anything that you can talk ppl into buying. Pfft, America.

We have a small christmas tree wich is a metal frame with all bells on it. We put it on the kitchen table and the kitten was up on the table playing with the bells. Seeing as we have alot of glass decorations that go on the tree so we don't want them smashing all over the floor.

Aww thats cute. I like the tradition of "santa bells," it makes it harder for the parents though. Hahahaha. XD

*nod* I understand. Once my cat tiger (whose no longer alive) well he saw all the shiny ornaments so he climbed all the way to the top and knocked the tree over. hahaha. Than he leaped on my dad's head and scratched him cuz he was freaking out. What a christmas... Lol.

Aww - kittens in the Christmas tree! That brings back some memories. My family would put up the Christmas tree anyways - but with hardly any ornaments, and nothing breakable. Then we'd occasionally hear this crash as the tree came toppling down from a little climbing kitten.

As for overcommercialization, I know that America does it for all holidays. But with Christmas, it has become the equivalent of starting to hype up for the 4th of July in January. Enough is enough.

.__.
The first picture posted just looks like a black woman in a pretty, drape-y piece of clothing...

Haha, cute, shimawa.
Yeah, seriously I totally agree... People start getting prepared around here like a month in advance... Total crazy.

Well, try finding an actual DECENT pic of a ghost.... Its so hard.
Other than that pic I kept finding pics of shadows that look like a person's frame...
I mean, thats how ghosts look but it could also be a shadow.

-nods- But it's also black and white, so, it could very well be just a black woman.

o.o
I don't think you'd find a decent picture of a ghost.
Partially because... Well, if you see a ghost, most people aren't prone to carrying cameras around...
And... I dont think a real spirit could be captured on film or otherwise- that's just my opinion, though

*sigh* You're right. *nod*

Hmm, yeah, I don't know if it is even possible to catch ghosts on videos or cameras... Maybe.
I've seen a ghost before... It was a hunched over weird looking blob that floated around the house and would hit the fans and lights on & off sometimes... And whenever its shadow passed by you you'd feel freezing cold... x----x Scary.

o.o
When I was a little kid, there was a little girl in the corner that would play with me sometimes... the corner, the carpet was a strange color. It was blue carpet- it looked like it was bleached there, because it was a yellow-ish, burnt color (a lot lighter, not pee stains) and it felt course.
So, I'd crouch down and play with her.. She wasn't really there, and I dont know how to explain it.. but.. ><'
Meh.

The carpet is gone now, and as I got older I stopped really being able to feel her with me... Maybe I was just a hallucinating, lonely little girl.
-shrug-

But, I'd like to think I had a spirit friend when I was little xP

Gab:: Yes, she still wants to be my friend I think. :]
I didn't think she did, and that's why I didn't talk to her when I saw her at the store...

Hahaha. ^^ Send yourself to me, and you can be the best present ever. <3333
And I can unwrap you. ;D <33
....Oh wow. xD;

HIM:: With as many cats as we have, putting up a tree is suicide. X_x
But we do it anyway. We don't actually use the glass balls anymore...I don't think..I think we have plastic ones now. We've learned from past mistakes. x_x (We picked slivers of glass out of the carpet for like, a year. Even after vacuuming multiple times.)

Rain:: Even if she wasn't really a spirit, there's nothing wrong with an imaginary friend. :3 I had an imaginary friend named Samantha. I don't remember like, making her up. She was just there one day when I was like 4. She stayed until I was like 9. And then she went away. I guess, cause I had a lot of friends by then and I didn't need her anymore. (:

If your friend was a spirit though, that's really neat. :]
The only spirit I met when I was a kid scared the hell out of me and actually hurt me. ><

Yeah.. Um... But, she did scare me. I just played with her because she seemed lonely.. o.o
I used to hide under my bed when she wouldn't go away.
Dx

But, I have a wooden floor in my room now, and I put my bed over that corner... I wonder, is that a bad thing? XD
It's just freaky remembering these things.

Like, my best friend since first grade, alissa, was a believer in spirits, too. o.o
We used to make faerie houses with little parts of trees we found that had fallen, and pinecones and flowers... It was fun, yet a crazylittlekid thing. X3
She believed that the laundry room in her apartment was haunted. >>'
Her mom did, too.
> <;;
-bets I'm still afraid to go in there-

Imaginary friends.. maybe, I liked pretending I had a dog that ate blue clay and lived in a pokemon ball that I got from mcdonalds.. -cough-

I'm soo going to go somewhere haunted and yell I MOCK THY SPIRITS and see if owt happens preferably a chruch then I could have holy water close to hand.

... XD Please, bring a video camera! That would be hilarious

That it would.

:D Rain, you are officially awesome.

Yay, I'm awesome ^^

Hmm, you never know rainbows, maybe that girl was a real ghost...
A lot of times when you get older its harder to feel spiritual energies.
It sounds really strange that the carpet was faded...Do you know the history of your house?

Thats great, christa. ^^
I have disagreements with my friends too but as long as you're willing to talk about it than things work out.

Haha, when you said unwrap you I had the weirdest image of myself wrapped completely with hundreds of bows... like how some of those new cars are sold on holidays. Lol. XD And than you pull the bow and it unwraps... That would be funny.

Yes, always remember the holy water HIM> XD

You can dunk someone in the holy water if they get possesed by a nasty spirit.

-glomps rain- :D

Gab:: Yeah, people who can't talk about things are really immature. ><
Like I've had some big disagreements with one of my other best friends, and I've known her for like...O.o almost 5 years now? Sometimes we haven't talked for like a month at a time, but we always get over it. :]

Yes, it would be funny. And fun. xD <3333
That was like the same image I had in my head when I said that. Lol.
Only like, with gift wrap....and a big red bow...but ANYWAY... I'm pretty sure that anyone reading this besides me and you is going "too much information, kthx." :rofl:

HIM:: That seems like it would burn. :/
