i am mentally divergent

I'm back from Vegas, bbs. It was AMAZING! Like I can't even tell you. Charisma is so much more beautiful in person. Pictures do not do her jusice. I will do a full write up with pictures as soon as I have a day to rest. (I got a wicked stress fracture in my left ankle while there. Not fun!)

All I can say is Jason Staham is a midget and Randy Couture is SOLID hottie muscle who smelled great. :) (diseased_inside I got you an autograph cause I know you love them UFC guys) Oh yeah, and Eric Roberts is my new hero. He was so. freaking. nice. to all his fans. But again, full write up with pics later.

I went back like 340 posts here (about the same on Tumblr too) and I know I missed stuff. So please link me so I can read/comment. I plan to relax until Monday.

Also, you peeps doing the 30 days of Angel meme, there is a community where you can link to your responses and get more comments/love. 30daysofangel CHECK IT OUT YO! It really needs some posts so go over there, link away, get some readers.

One of the things that always annoyed me about Christopher Pike's The Last Vampire series is that Sita, the "last vampire" was 5000 years old, from India, and yet had blonde hair and blue eyes. It's incredibly historically inaccurate and offensive to replace what would be a character of color with a blonde woman. So when the challenge came at vamp_land to cast something vampire-y, I jumped at the chance to cast The Last Vampire with more...genuine actors. ;) (And yes, I realize it is a vampire series but the best vampire books, to me, are ones with threads in reality and history)

FOR OTHER ICONMAKERS OUT THERE, nikkiwawa79 IS HOSTING A OLD VS NEW ICONS MEME. POST FIVE OLD ICONS VS FIVE NEW ONES.

I don't usually post about celebrity deaths because for the most part, I don't know them and while their art might have affected me, for the most part it's just another day. I go "oh bummer, that sucks" and move on.

I did post about Vonnegut though and I'm posting about Peter Steele. Why? Because sometimes an artist comes along that just strikes a chord with you. Something about them speaks to something deeply inside of you. Whether it's their books or their music, it resonates with you.

Type O Negative was one of those bands. Most people didn't know them outside of the 'goth' community. They never had the commercial success they deserved. They never played the big time arenas. That didn't make any less amazing to me though. Their music shaped a lot of my teen years. I think the first time I saw one of their videos was on Headbangers Ball. (Does anyone else remember that? Back when MTV played videos?) Maybe that is why I appreciate them, a soundtrack to my misspent youth.

So here is to you, Peter Steele and your massively huge member (don't believe me, Google Peter Steele and Playgirl). I hope you're rocking it in Heaven.

I should be studying for my GRE retake by nope, I am here to pimp some cool stuff! Some fandom, some not. All of it aweeeeesome!

( Figured a cut was only polite )

[Error: unknown template qotd]

I don't think I look like any celebrity but I wish I looked like Charisma Carpenter. (Or Salma Hayek or Penelope Cruz or Kelly Monaco or Barbara Brickner. See a trend. LOL)

However, I have gotten "a brunette Caroline Rhea from people before. In fact in one of those "who would you cast as X in the movie of your life", she came up a few times for me. Maybe just my funny, sunny personality and my massive ta-tas. :)

And since I hate to just post one thing at a time, I stole this quiz from foreverxkisses. No surprise on the answer.

And just cause I'm still on the road to recovery, I took another one that looked interesting.
