I have a simple topic for today, Fandom.
And by that I mean:following the crowd, jumping onto the bandwagon...etc...etc...
Why do we do this?
Everyone claims to be "different" (For instance a friend of mine from high school said this "I'm different I wear black an write poetry in the park and have only cats because they are solitary, but still social")---how many other people do you know that do this? in any combination human nature is to follow the odd. For instance now it is cool to like vampires and to pretend to be one or to dress in "gothic" style meaning Hot-Topic corsets and short skirts with giant thigh-high boots. Now don't get me wrong I LOVE dressing in those types of clothes...and would wear them EVERY day if I could BUT I was a vampire nut before I could walk without falling down (about 2 or 3) I used to sit and watch all the old vampire movies I could get my hands on and as soon as I learned to read it was nothing but vampire stories..and then i discovered...the greatest vampire master of all time (or at least to this point) Anne Rice. Ive loved everything to do with vampires that Ive ever found...and someon had the gale to tell me that I wasn't a "true" vampire fan because I didn't like Stephanie Meyer's work. WHAT!!???????!!!??????!!!!!!!!
Obviously this person has NEVER ever talked to me nor seen my book collection EV-ER!!!!
I don't hate stephanie's work, but I happen to be a Rice fan...I don't like my vampires to sparkle...I want them to be deadly beautiful and have a lust for blood, not be able to be in sunlight, and know what the hell they want---human blood! (except for Louis of course
Well, lets see Edward duke it out with Lestat and see who wins.
Blood, BRAINS, and Hollows,
