Bite Sized Vacation - Gulf Shores, AL

Getting pulled out of school to catch a flight made me feel like a busy movie star, even though I only missed the last 25 minutes of class, and our plane was so small my head brushed the ceiling, and we were flying to Memphis.

Nothing wrong with Memphis, mind. We flew in at night, and the city looked SO pretty from the sky, all lit up and spread out like that. I really wish I had nabbed a picture, but I'm actually very paranoid when it comes to 'all electronic devices must be turned off.'

Lovecraft, Gold Award, and the Beach

Has anyone out there read any Lovecraft?

I just started a few days ago, and I still can't decide if I enjoy his short stories because of the 'weird' factor (coincidentally also the name of Lovecraft's type of fiction) or because his style is just so unique. They're scary, or at least I think they're scary. I get scared easily, so that might not be a good case to judge by.
