Day #3 - A picture of you and your friends.
This was actually really hard because all of my very good friends aren't in one picture together. But I see that later on I can post another picture of me and friends. So, I present to you part of the valley crew: (I'm missing Jessica and Kev and Ted)

Day #2 - The meaning behind your Tumblr name.
Well, this obviously isn't a Tumblr, but I took this idea off of my best friend who HAS a Tumblr, so pardon me, Blogger, for mentioning your rival's name.
The title of my blog is "supermassive black hole." This is the title of a song by Muse. While I risk losing a lot of cred for this, I'll also tell you this little tidbit about my title: this song was used in one of the coolest scenes in all of the Twilight movies. During the first movie, this little diddy is in the background during vampire baseball.
I know, to even say that there's a "cool scene" in the Twilight movies is a smite against the movie industry itself. My apologies.
Muse, on the other hand, is an incredible band and one you should check out. I promise you won't regret it. Not like how I view the Twilight movies as hours of my life I'll never get back.

14. I was one of three winners at a headline writing contest during a conference at the New York Times.
15. I could have been an intern at Seventeen magazine, but they called me for an interview two weeks too late.

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.

zombie hoarde? vampire attack? nope. just wine.
I just spilled red wine.
All over our bed sheet.
Our BEIGE bed sheet.
And really, by all over, I mean only about a one inch diameter spot.
But come on now. It’s red wine, I’m home by myself, I never had a stain like this before, it’s only a month old bed sheet. So to me, it looked like a murder scene.
I’d like to thank Google, for always being there in a pinch, and our neighbor Tom, for loaning me a cup of laundry detergent. Since we just got our washer and dryer YESTERDAY, we have no such supplies.
My advice to you if you have a red wine stain, my friends: act QUICKLY. Rinse it with cold water, sprinkle some salt on it and let it sit for a minute or two, rinse it again. (Possibly repeat this action one more time.) Now rub some laundry detergent in, let that sit, and rinse. Throw that shit in the washer. Then sit back, relax, and marvel at how efficient you are. Hell, have another glass of wine!
Just make sure not to spill it.
