Just trying to get comfy with this thing... and to get my post numbers up before I start getting to the whole 'author blog' thing.
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Angel/Jossverse - So these two tv shows define who I am more than anything else. I started watching Buffy when I was about 9 and was/still am thoroughly obsessed. I consider just about every episode of both series gold. Everything else pales in comparison and always will. I'm an obsessed fangirl... its true. Now for my creepy 'they're more than just tv shows' stuff:
- When I was little, everything terrified me... movies and ghost stories mostly. Edward Scissorhands was a major one... I absolutely could not be reasoned with that he was the good guy in the movie... it scared the crap out of me! I gained a certain fearlessness about stuff like that when I started watching Buffy. I know I would have grown out of it anyway but Buffy hurried the process. Buffy also sparked my creepy morbidness... which is a huge part of who I am.
- I knew I couldn't be a vampire slayer... so for the longest time I wanted to be an actress... like Sarah Michelle Gellar. I was still set on it when I entered college and took theater. I hated it. Really, really hated it, so I moved on to my next career choice. I wrote an obnoxious amount of Buffy/Angel fanfiction from about 13-18 (don't worry, I'm snickering too) and I loved doing it! So... career choice that actually makes sense with who I am = author.
- I don't write fanfiction anymore but everything I do write is somehow inspired by the BtVS/Angelverse. Nothing is copied of course but the brilliant storytelling of the two series set a bar for me that I can only hope to come close to.
2. I love Halloween!
It's my # 1 hobby. (I consider writing a career) I LOVE it! Its not out of the ordinary for me to be searching garage sales or antique shops for creepy stuff to go with my... at least 10 containers of Halloween decorations as early as... now. This year will be my 6th annual Halloween party which has grown to about 25-30 people. I decorate every square inch of the house, including the bathrooms. Besides the party, I love the weather, the haunted houses, the movies... everything! There are others like me... http://www.halloweenforum.com/ .
3. I am getting married on January 12, 2013.
It is going to be UH-MAZING!
This depicts who I am because this will be just about all I do between now and then (planning) and also because my future hubby is a huge part of me. We are more in love than anyone who has ever been in love... ever. We are the bestest of the bestest couple, waaaaay better than all the other ones... yep. Even you.
4. My animals -
First there was Sissie, my gorgeous little rat terrier who started a long line of rat terriers. I got her when I was about 5 and had her for 13 years. Her granddaughter(Dawn) is probably asleep in my bed right now. So Sissie (full rat terrier) and Peppie (passed away, mutt terrier) made Homer (passed away). Then Homer and Sissie (yeah, oops.) made Gateway (lives with my Aunt), Buffy (lives with my Dad) and Spike (passed away). When Sissie died, my Dad brought me home another full rat terrier puppy named Fred (Winifred, lives with my Dad) and her and Homer made Mike (stolen), Bart(passed away), Rambo (lives with my Dad) and Dawn (lives with me). Those are indeed my children and I love them very very much. I also have a Green Cheeked Conure named Mohgli. Gus, Spanky, Navybean, Angel, Gypsy, Wesley (lives with my Dad) were my kitties... I love my pets! They are the only children I need.
5. I give terrible first.. and possibly altogether impressions.
Its true. I have a very anti-social vibe going on but I don't mean to. Also, it's not unusual for me to mention planning the Halloween party or buying decorations in like... February and people think thats weird. And have said so behind my back. I sort of love being weird but I don't think they mean it as a compliment. I'm also really quiet... apparently. I'm awkward. It happens... hence the quietness. So if you meet me, I'm sorry if I go off on some random rant about BtVS or maybe bring up something morbid (Abandoned morgue photography) and if you know me more than 5 minutes I might invite you to my Halloween party, like, six months in advance. Stop judging and accept that I'm awesome. :-)
6. Concerts & Music - If I had any musical talent whatsoever, I'd totally be a rockstar! Or not. I'm definitely a concert chick though! I tend to average about 5 concerts a year, which is a lot really. I've seen over 200 bands/artists live. I absolutely love live music and just music in general. I'm mostly a rock, punk, alternative, soul punk, slow alternative, rock pop chick. I also excel into music fangirlisms here. I've met Nick Carter, Howie Dorough (from Backstreet Boys), Eve 6, Guitarist from Plain White Ts, Lifehouse in 2003 and then the different members of Lifehouse in like... 2007 (Jason Wade, Lead Singer wasn't there the second time), and I giggled like a complete loser the entire time... It was a blast though.
7. I'm Christian. Not super duper Christian though. I don't go to church. There are many things in the Bible that I don't agree with. Religion is a very personal thing to me so I am what I am. I won't discuss religion much on here but it is part of who I am.
8. I'm a writer. I bad, bad one. It's not the content thats bad (not that its great or anything) but I'm a bad one because I don't do it. I don't have more than 8,000 words written of any of my novel ideas and the short stories I've written are terrible. This year... this year will be different. I will get a first draft of a novel written!
Well, thats me! Hopefully this doesn't scare too many people away! Ok, so no one actually reads this yet so I guess I'm safe on that! :-)
