the halloween parties were interesting. the first one, where we only stayed shortly, we didn't really fit into. the people there were 40-60 yr old, the artsy elite of Hamilton, jazz singers etc. Kev was dressed as a dead hockey player and Laura was 'Chiaroscuro'. Laura was the one who did an interview of me on the local radio when i was here 2 yrs ago. the next party was more our style. everywhere though, streets and fast food places, people were dressed up and that was fun, just one day of the year when u could play a character, i like the idea. i saw a priest, stewardess, pilot, doctor, magician, Garth from wayne's world, housemaid, witch, dead bride, superman, supergirl, star trek guy, little red riding hood, sceleton, policeman, construction worker, braveheart, bowling ball, george harrison, black eyed peas, schoolgirls, biker/gay, clown, zorro, cowboy, cleopatra, disco guy, rapper, willy wonka, pirate...and so forth.

at the 2nd party they had a tarot card reader present. i've never done that for the obvious reason that i don't believe in such things. anyway, so we decided to try it out. i walked in, she asked me to mix the pack of cards and then she'd start lay cards on the table. before i said anything, she told me i'm going to have a new relationship in my life. and she added its not the one i'm having right now. that was pretty bold of her to say. she said i feel guilty over letting go of my current one, and i'm stuck and need to let go, and that the new relationship is related to my work in some way. err. well, anyway, then she told some other things, about my friends, family... nothing major, but things looked good in her opinion. then she asked me if i had any specific questions, and well, i didn't really need to ask about my relationship anymore(lol) so i asked about my work or career. to me that means photography but i mean, does it matter what i meant, this was a tarot card reader? she said i am having a quiet phase right now, that i need to sometimes just go into myself so that i can then go on again. but that work wise things look good for me, once i get over this quiet phase again, and i definitely should not stop doing what i'm doing. and somehow, in relation to this (work), someone from my past is going to come into my life again, but i should not 'go with them' because they hurt me in the past and they have not changed so they'd do it again...so i should be careful with that person. interesting, all in all.

at the 2nd party i also met several people who were delighted to meet me. that was a nice surprise. Mel, a local photographer whom Kev knows, and her husband Sean, and Ward whos also a local photographer (and the first photography teacher that i've ever met!). Ward has some pretty interesting stuff on his website. i like the fantasy elements, i've never been able to do that. i'm stuck with reality.
