Klingons and the Romulans pose no threat to us - 'cause if we find we're in a bind we just make some shit up!

I’ve been a little offbeat all my life. The girl with the combat boots, the girl who loves vampires, the girl with that tattoo on her lip, the girl with the crazy colored hair – all me.

My interests go anywhere from shoes to zombies, Zelda to James Dean. When I started dating Tony I was opened up to a world where I could love all of these things, and then some, in public and with other people.

Tony introduced me to the world of conventions. Wizard World Philadelphia, Video Game Expo Philly, Horror-Con – we frequent these every chance we get. This year is the second year that I’ll be attending Wizard World and, let me tell you, I’m overwhelmed.

At the first Wizard World I got a taste of celebrity when I acted like a dumbfounded fool upon meeting Emma Caulfield, better known to Buffy fans as Anya. I like to consider that a practice run for what would happen months later at Horror-Con: my meeting with the crush/love/I-want-to-have-your-babies man of my dreams, James Marsters. (better known to Buffy fans as Spike).

This year’s Wizard World is packed to the brim with people I’m dying to meet. James will be there, as will a bevy of people that are icons in the kingdom of nerds.

Shall we?


Ernie Hudson, of Ghostbuster fame, as Winston Zeddemore.



Mmm, my favorite Baldwin, Stephen. I dunno which I'd consider more of a classic: Biodome or The Usual Suspects.



Many Batmans have come and gone, but none are so awesome as Adam West. POW! SMASH!


Bruce Campbell. Two words for you: Evil. Dead. I dunno, I've always had an awkward crush on this guy.

And the mother of them all:


Guys. Come on. It's Captain Jean-Luc Picard. And if THAT doesn't get your blood pumping, let's have a little chat about Charles Xavier aka Professor X.

Needless to say, my camera will be at the ready at all times and my Twitter will be going crazy this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

I'm also on the hunt for the dude who dressed up as Thor last year. Wicked costume and I need a picture with him to place beside the ones of me with Spiderman and Wonder Woman.

Maybe I'll see you there. : )

triforce, bitches.

When I was a little girl, I had a very hard time putting the little plastic shoes on my Barbies. The feet were inflexible, the shoes always seemed too small, and I just didn’t have the patience.

So please imagine what my life is now like, having to fit a harness around this - a living, MOVING creature:




This is Link, the new addition to mine and Tony’s life and home, and the most adorable dog on the planet. Yea, I said it. If you’re a dog owner I want you to look at your little one and say, “A mini doxie just made your cuteness level drop drastically” and lament the fact that you don’t have my dog.

Link is eight weeks old and we just picked him up Saturday from a breeder in Bloomsburg. (beavervalleydoxies.com – I HIGHLY recommend her!) He already recognized where he needs to pee and poop outside the house, where the gate is to get back in the house, and where his food and water dish is. After almost 72 hours of being with us.

Suck on that, Lassie.

He gets the hiccups, he whines something fierce when he’s in his crate, he likes to bite EVERYTHING and he is just, in general, the epitome of adorable.

Tony and I are so excited to have him and I think his mere presence has bonded us more as a couple. Tony shows a fatherly side with him that I’ve never seen before. The man that dresses all in black, barely says a word that isn’t sarcastic, and has a fixation with anything bloody and gross coos, oohs, and ahhs over this dog. He babytalks him, cuddles him, and calls me “mommy” and himself “daddy.”

Link’s cast a spell on the whole family, including myself, and much of our neighbors who pass us as we walk him outside.

Oh, and about the name? “Aww, he’s a hot dog- dog, so it’s like a sausage link!”

No way, noobz. We are more creative than that.
