Yeah. About the only three similar holidays they share with us is
Thanksgiving, Hallowe'en and New Year's Day. Religion doesn't have
the "power" that is seems to have here, so many of our religious
holidays (of any faith) do not exist over there.

Yep, she got pregnant in February. Screwing around with the
football team ultimately led to her meeting her future husband (or ex-
husband, as it turned out). Gestation periods for most species are 9
months, but different species come into season at different times.
Therefore, skunks are generally born from mid-October to late
December (there are exceptions, but those are rare, and usually due
to complications).

It's funny, because she'd made a comment like that before. And her
response to being born on October 31 was basically "I'd have to be a
skank who wears too much make-up and dresses in depressing and thrown-
together clothing styles." She also made a comment about the fact
that all her art would have to demonstrate "no sense of color
coordination and it'd have to be inspired by watching too many
Beetlejuice cartoons". Think she was making fun of a
certain "clique"?

Apparently not. Have you seen how teenagers drive these days?
Fuck almighty, we're lucky we're not ALL dead from some brain-dead
high-schooler messing with the car radio while chatting on his/her
cell phone. I always thought when you drove a car, you were supposed
to, I dunno, pay attention to the fucking road? Wouldn't be so bad
if they'd crash into trees or something; it sucks when they take out
some poor innocent, though.
