At the age of 13, or somewhere there about, I discovered Neil Gaiman. Without exageration, I can easily say he changed the way I saw the world. Gods were real, dogs could talk, and crazy homeless people had the keys to London Below. Reading his books - discovering his world and mind really shaped my imagination in a lot of ways.
I own everything he's written, I read his blog regularly, and truly felt for him when his cat died. I a lot of ways, I feel I am a kindred spirit... which is what all crazy fans say, I'm sure. I wouldn't want his toe nail clippings or anything, but I would deffinetly sit down and drink a nice cup of tea with him.
Amanda Palmer, formerlly of the infamous Dresden Dolls, gave me a similar teenage rush when I was about 16. Now that facination was a bit more fangirly. I was her for halloween (thank god, all photos have been obliteraited) I shaved off my eyebrows, I ran around listening to nothing but the Dolls, and I even did a rad mock music video to Alcoholic Friends... I will update with video, if I can find it. YouTube got rid of it, because of the silly copywrite laws.
Now I find that the two will be wed. This surely must be a sign of the end times. The otherworldy pairing is astounding to me. My husband sent me a
link from work and I couldn't belive it. I tried to take a nap with Levi after hearing the news, but just couldnt stop tossing and turning, I'm flabergasted.
