11 Things about Me

1: I am a die hard fan of anything J.R.R Tolkien wrote, a Whovian, Supernatural fan, and hater of Twilight.

2: I am a hoarder of information, anything I can find on any of my interests I grab and memorize eagerly.

3: I am a failure at anything involving math.

4: I am very fond of vampires, from old medieval myths to Dracula and Lestat.

5: My top favorite band is the Sisters of Mercy. I just can't listen to enough of their music.

6: I have difficulty watching sitcoms. They just don't work well for me.

7: I have a very sick stomach when it comes to any kind of horror or gore. Even all that time watching Supernatural has done nothing to change that. :)

8: I love cats and rabbits, I bred rabbits and even though those days are over, I currently keep 4 of the now grown up babies and am fond of them.

9: I love Tim Burton movies.

10: I'm scared of clowns, Santa, murky water, cockroaches and heights.

11: I'm quite shy until you get to know me.

Questions from Katelynn

What is the one song you find it hard if not impossible to not sing along to?
Hmm. Probably Temple of Love by the Sisters of Mercy. It's such an awesome song. :)

Favorite beverage?
That would be tea, I believe. I go insane if I don't get my morning cup.

What is the one place you wish you could visit before you die?
 Perhaps Ireland...either that or Whitby, England.

Are you a cat or dog person?
Definetly cat. I love our dog, but I like the fact that cats are so much cleaner and they don't slobber all over you.

Which of your hobbies has the most calming affect on you?
Writing or reading...Something about them just makes me feel better.

Your biggest influence? (can be someone famous or just someone you know in rl)
My family, I suppose. All the things that we did when I was young helped bring my interests together. Either that or my ex-friend Sabina. Without her I would still be the extra shy wannabe hipster who had hardly any knowledge of culture.

What is your biggest irrational fear?
That something out my my control will happen, and I won't be able to stop it.

Do you believe in the paranormal?
Yes. Not zombies or vampires, for instance...But ghosts, yes.

What is your favorite accessory?
The Catholic Celtic cross I wore for 7 months straight. It was a gift from my dad and a symbol of my first days as a babybat.

If you could see any band(active or disbanded) live, who would it be?
The Sisters of Mercy (of course :)) But I'd have to time travel back to the 80s or 90s when their performances were at their best.

Do you consider yourself good at art?
Not really. :) I'm the writer, my sister is the artist.

My Questions

1: What is your favorite movie?

2: Favorite book?

3: Are you a night or day person?

4: The best thing that ever happened to you?

5: Your favorite memory?

6: What is your favorite place to be?

7: Favorite food?

8: What do you do in your free time?

9: Do you keep a journal?

10: Your favorite item of clothing?

11: Something that always makes you smile?

    Vampire's Day Soiree - Best Vampire Movies/TV shows

    Greetings!
    I decided to join the Vampire's Day Soiree, an event for Valentine's Day by Holly Horrorland (Blog post link HERE...


    My post is on several good Vampire TV shows and movies, as I couldn't perform any kind of 'Vamp' look, my clothes are just not that versatile!

    Also included in this post are each (TV/movie) best couple/best character
    -------------------------------------------------------------

    1: Buffy the Vampire Slayer


    Back when vampires didn't SPARKLE, Buffy is one of my favorite vampire TV shows. Buffy is a 16 year old girl that discovers her true identity as the slayer.

    I really liked this TV show, all the seasons were really good, and the show has an extremely strong cast. Both main characters and backups show quite good acting skills.

    Best Couple: Angel and Buffy...but Spike and Drucilla are the Ultimate.

    Best Character: Spike
    -------
    2: Angel

    A spin off of Buffy, it follows the path of Angel, the vampire with a soul, as he strives to protect Los Angeles from demon hordes.

    In my opinion, Buffy was the better show, but Angel has it's strong points as well.

    Best Couple: Angel and Darla or Cordelia and Doyle.

    Best Character: Angel
    -----------------------------------------------------
    3: Interview with a Vampire



    A vampire named Louis tells his 200-year-long life story to reporter Daniel Molloy.

    Most of you reading this are probably familiar with this awesome movie, of course, the book is better but I quite enjoyed the movie.

    I normally detest Tom Cruise, but in Interview I actually couldn't recognize him until the credits came up! :)

    Best Couple: Uh. Louis and Claudia? Not really a couple but they were nice together.

    Best Character: Lestat (Obviously)
    --------------------------
    4: The Little Vampire

    An EXTREMELY cute film, and very well done for a kids' movie. A lonely boy moves to Scotland with his parents and discovers his new best friend, who is a vampire named Rudolph.

    I highly recommend this if you want to watch a cute movie with not so spooky themes. (Just enough...:))

    Best Couple: Anna and Tony (Anna's ridiculously childish crush on Tony is quite amusing)

    Best Character: Anna or Rudolph
    ----------------
    5: Dracula: Dead and Loving it


    One word: Hilarious.

    I like a good comedy every now and again, and what better than a parody of Dracula?

    I rate it 7/10, for good humour, if not book canon fact. :)

    Best Couple: Dracula and Mina, although the Mina and Jonathan scenes were extremely funny.

    Best Character: Dracula...but Renfield is certainly close behind.
    -------------
    6: Fright Night


    A teenager suspects that his new neighbour might be a vampire.

    I watched this one Valentine's Day morning, and even though my suspicions were that it was blatantly cheesy and unrealistic, (Well...it was KIND OF cheesy, but that's not the point) it actually surprised me.

    For instance, this movie is NEW and yet they have vampires that abide by the rules, (For the most part...) like the 'explode in sunlight.' I was quite glad to see that vampire fiction hasn't all slid down the tubes.

    I give it a 8/10.

    Unfortunately for me, while watching it (especially during the first part) I started getting nausea...Yes, that's my problem. One horror movie and I'm 10 steps short of throwing up. This whole morning I had my hand on my stomach and I had to stop Fright Night a few times and watch something funny so I didn't feel ill.

    (Note: This even happened with INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE. I lose, big time.)

    Besides that, it was fun and enjoyable to watch, I rate it as a favorite of mine.

    Best Couple: Charlie and Amy.

    Best Character: Peter Vincent, no competition.
    OH YEAH
    Anyways, that's about all for now.

    Farewell!
