So Neil Gaiman round about posted about us!

AND he has ttly seen our Graveyard book costumes, as were in the article about it :3

"We also linked to Neil Gaiman's website, which attracted four girls who showed up in costume," said Hasan. "They drove for over an hour to get to the store, because they are huge Neil Gaiman fans, and we were the only store in Colorado to post our party on his website. ...

"We were especially pleased about the costume-clad girls who showed up in the spirit of Graveyard Book characters," Hasan said. "The highlight of the event was our zombie hunt. We've been having great sales of [parody novel] Pride and Prejudice and Zombies [by Seth Grahame-Smith, Quirk Books] and thought having a hunt through a darkened store with nerf guns, while party-going 'zombies' tried to stop you would be a blast -- and it was! We had screams and laughter. We gave away two Neil Gaiman comic books to the team of two that forged past all the zombies and made it all the way to the back of the store."

BEST DESCRIPTIONPOSSIBLY ONLY OF ATTACKING FLAMINGO'S EVER:

Flamingos are not famed for their cunning intelligence, now for their problem solving abilities: donfronted with a twist of wire and a bottle with something edible in it, a crow might try to make a tool out of the wire in order to get at the contents of the bottle. A flamingo, on the other hand, will try and eat the wire, if it looks like a shrimp, or possibly even if it doesn't, just in case it was a new kind of shrimp. So if there was something slightly smoky and insubstantial about the man who stood on the window ledge insulting them, the flamingos failed to perceive it. They glared at him with the crazed ruby eyes of killer rabbits, and they rushed towards him.

Also, I wanna use the phrase "Cocked" more often (As in "I cocked this all up.")

"...I hope you will have a wonderful year, that you'll dream dangerously and outrageously, that you'll make something that didn't exist before you made it, that you will be loved and that you will be liked, and that you will have people to love and to like in return. And, most importantly (because I think there should be more kindness and more wisdom in the world right now), that you will, when you need to be, be wise, and that you will always be kind."

Alas, I am not as cheerful as Neil Gaiman.

My New years Resolutions are as such:

1) Talk on the phone with people more. I really enjoyed talking to [livejournal.com profile] table_chan and [livejournal.com profile] iwanttobeasleep, and I need to get more comfortable with it. Also, get my texts working and carry my cell phone. If you wanna be talked to more often/start talking on the phone, drop a note. Just know I'll be super akward at first.

Also, start using people's journal names and not their real names, cause it makes me super happy to see my name linked like that in others journals and I should do the same.

2) Be less insecure. I'm going to stop posting interactive memes so much because it just makes me feel gross when people don't reply, and might stop rping in comms so much. They're silly things to get hung up on, so I'm just going to cut them out. I might still do a meme here and there but a lot less. I don't know what else, but I'm gonna try things.

I have so far failed at being less insecure this year and have in fact been worse then I've been in a shit long time, but...hey, I guess it's a needed resolution.

3) Be more honest. There was this conversation over the break about levels of honesty and it clarified my feelings on the matter. Like...obviously not like honesty as a tool to be mean. Tact will not leave the building. But I noticed how much people unnecessarily hide things that while they might make a rough spot, or an awkward moment, are worth saying.

And now, the new years thing going around. A warning...I have SHIT memory. If something happened at the beginning of the year, I may not remember it was this year so if we like...meet in january, I don't hate you, I probably thought we meet in 07.

The serious one: May old aquintances...neeeh )

The fannish one )

This is a RIDICULOUSLY good blog about defending, in this case, Lolicon, but in a wider context all "questionable things" under the first amendment that Neil Gaiman posted today. It's really insightful and obviously talks from much experiences as someone who's lived in both a place with and without the Right to Free Speech, and as someone who's had his stuff banned.

If you're into comics, or fiction, or whatever, even if you don't dig Lolicon (hi.), this is a really good read.I'm reproducing it here, but you can find the original here

The question, for me, is even if we only save ONE child from rape or attempted rape, or even just lots of uncomfortable hugs from Creepy Uncle Dave, is that not worth leaving a couple naked bodies out of a comic? )
