Rather than start another blog, I remembered this was here and decided to change direction. I love pop culture and have all kinds of opinions and I thought I would throw them here and see if anything sticks.
If you liked reading about writing and all that jazz, go to my website. There's actually two blogs there: one for writing and one for book reviews.
If you liked reading about my crazy life, you're out of luck at the moment. Just living it takes enough time. Writing about it might push me over the verge...
So, let's talk. Movies, television, music, celebrity antics, books, magazines, and whatever comes to mind. Join me on the verge. Let's talk.

Creepy Internet Friends
Today, one of my Twitter friends was lamenting her lack of topic for her blog. I told her that when in doubt, I write about my Creepy Internet Friends. When I looked back, I realized that I hadn't mentioned them in several months - so I thought it might be a good time to revisit.
While "Creepy Internet Friends" might seem an odd title, it is actually an affectionate name for my closest friends. I know what you're thinking: Since when does creepy = affection? Since these are people that are dear to me and yet I have never meet them in person. We met online and continue our relationship online and through text messages. This may seem bizarre to you, but working alone in my office all day gets boring. I keep Twitter and Facebook open so that I can have an occasional conversation, debate, or discussion about current events and issues - very much like having a chat with a co-worker in a traditional workplace. Because the Internet is sometimes viewed as a playground for stalkers, the word "creepy" seems to be appropriately ironic.
Who are these CIFs? Well, there's Wade, anglophile, oi, amy_d, Hyphen D, unholyghost2003, Clearly Demented, Saysh, Mishee, CB, RunBarbara, Frankie, tink, mamason, mamarilla, Timo, TOS, rose, fan, mark, Beanster, snee, claw, vfbr2001, Spence, T, JustRach, and msquick1... to name a few. If I've left you off, it's not that I don't love you... it's just that I thought you might not like your real name posted... or that I've just been overwhelmed with emotion thinking of how many wonderful friends I've made over the last couple of years. Either way, feel free to yell at me. Don't forget to use CAPS LOCK.
So, to all of my CIFs from the Troublemaker HQ to Twitter to Facebook... Thank you for being in my life.
Edit: OTWB, sdog7, KatScratches, murgy, amet_sorgin, sandbar, rocksnbugs, JetGibbs, zabbs, ... and all of my OLTL and NCIS friends! Forgive me! You are most definitely creepy.
Edit #2: indiepride, Luke, ceebee, albinosmurfie & his smurfette, Bunnee and so many more friends! I am so blessed!!!
