15 themes for a murder mystery party

I've just started thinking about throwing another murder mystery party, so here are themes that I think could be great.

  1. Greek/Roman gods and goddesses. There are so many gods and they all have beef with each other, how does that not equal drama perfect for a murder mystery? Sadly, the person killed would likely have to be a favored mortal...
  2. Zoo. A ton of donors have come for a big party, but someone is found dead! Who dunnit? Donor, staff, or animal?
  3. Mine. What if a miner is found murdered deep in the mines? Only those down there could have done it, right?
  4. Wedding. Weddings can bring out a lot of tensions and again you have that limited set of people who could have done it.
  5. Fairy garden. The fae are known to be petty and vicious when they choose. Seems like the perfect recipe for murder.
  6. Morgue. What if a new dead body ends up in the morgue? Who killed them? Was it a staff person, a grieving family member, or someone who was only pretending to be dead?
  7. Spaceship. The most extreme form of cabin fever could take hold and lead to the murder of a crew member.
  8. Museum. So many cool possibilities for a murder weapon and so many rooms to explore.
  9. Magic show. Someone was made to disappear...permanently. Who is the culprit? The magician? The lovely assistant? The stagehands? An audience member? Who knows?
  10. Carnival. You can't pass up an opportunity to have creepy clowns in a murder mystery.
  11. Funeral. Someone else has been found dead. How will the grieving family deal? Were they even grieving in the first place?
  12. Doll store. Dolls can be so creepy and the right one could even be a murder weapon. What if at an event at the store, someone is found dead?
  13. Bookstore. A murder mystery author comes to their hometown to launch their new book but then someone is found dead at their book launch! Can they and their fans solve this real life mystery?
  14. Dating reality show. Yes this will be a tad bit like Unreal, but with more solving the murder. Just adding in a bunch of singles trying to find love, fortune, and fame will make for a good, dramatic mystery.
  15. Comic Con or some other con. It has all the perks of a masquerade theme, but with the added perk of having nerdy things around.
Which of these would you like to play?

(Prompt by me)

I'm angry

I'm angry. And I don't (at the moment) want to be talked out of it. I struggle, often, with expressing or even just sitting with my emotions. I feel like even the photo I chose for this post was more reserved or toned down than how I feel.  But, this is my trying. I'm not going to time this post, just going to write until I feel done, whenever that may be. In this post, I'm going to focus on the anger I feel around my dad and my dad's death. Though, don't get me wrong, I'm also angry about a lot of things going on in my city, in my country, and in the world. My dad chose alcohol over me and my brother. There is no way around this fact. Yes, when I am less angry, I can be more reasonabl and recognize that addiction is a disesase and he didn't have control over it. But, right now, I want to be angry. I want to get to be angry. I want to get to feel my feelings. I don't want to rationalize, I don't want to be reasonable, I don't want to be fair....
