I am here for Friends

About Me


I collect a ton of things!! I love anything based on Halloween, my all time favorite holiday!!Every day is Halloween for me! I keep some of my favorites and my vintage decorations up all year round in my library!
I love to read! Here I am with my all time favorite author who just happens to be one of the nicest people ever!
I do love to read and I always have a new book going at all times. I do have alot of people ask me for a list of books to read, favorite authors, and that sort of thing. Check out my picture section because I am going to create a section for books and will start putting in favorite books I have read and recommended authors because it is easier to update there.
Do you like Ghost Stories? I do! Here in Birmingham, we have our own little Ghost Story attraction at the Sloss Furnace: Investigated by numerous organizations including the Paranormal Team of Fox's Scariest Places. They concluded that it was one of the highest rates of unnatural energy they had encountered. There have been more than 100 reports of suspected paranormal activity at Sloss Furnaces recorded in Birmingham Police records.There are many scary stories about happenings at the furnace including: On October 4 of 2003, another assualt happened to a crew member. Josh Thomas, who had worked at Sloss for many years, suddenly caught fire after seeing a "strange shape." He suffered burns up and down his body and was taken to the hospitial--he still can not recall what happened. Strangely enough, this was almost on the exact 32nd anniversary of the Samuel Blumenthal burn attack (night watchman from 1971). You can read more scary stories about the Sloss Furnace by going to www.frightfurnace.com
I have a ton of dolls: Hollys (jazzy1453 on ebay), Living Dead Dolls, Teddy Scares, Bleeding Edge Goth dolls, and a lot of other goth and vampire dolls. I also collect lighted houses and snow globes from the movie the Nightmare Before Christmas (my awesome hubby gives them to me as gifts and started the collection for me!), and also voodoo dolls from New Orleans(I try to get one or two every time I visit).I am running out of room for things I collect! Hahah!
N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N************************************************This is me with the latest favorite author that I have met: Charlaine Harris!!! In case you are not familar with her, she writes a series about a character named Sookie Sackhouse who dates vampires! (I can sooo relate to this character bec she is blonde like me and I can so see myself getting mixed up with a sexy vampire back when I was single, haha!!) All of the books have the word "dead" in them and the newest is called "Definitely Dead". If you like to read, be sure and check them out!
************************
SPIDERS ARE YOUR FRIENDS! To many cultures, the spider is considered good luck: The octagan shape a spider takes when dangling represents one of the most magical protectors. Certain Native American tribes believe that the energy of the spider is that of the provider and will keep harmony and balance, enriching your life. Egyptians considered the arachnid a majesty in herself and charms were fashioned in their likeness to ward off evil. Having a spider in the home is said to bring the owner good fortune. **I have a pet tarantula named Alexander and he is about 14 years old!**
WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS, STAYS IN VEGAS!! I love getting to visit!! Another favorite place! (This is me in front of the Luxor)
I also collect anything with stars!
New Orleans is such a magical city and one of my favorite places to visit!
I love my pets and I love animals! I donate money every month to Best Friends Animal Society, The US Humane Society and other organizations that help animals in need. Support your local shelter or go to one of these websites to find out what you can do to help your furry (and not furry) friends! THESE ARE MY PETS: THE PARAKEETS, ROCKI ,TIGER, RIO, KAHLUA, HERSHEY, AND NEWLY SPIKE THE ITALIAN GRAYHOUND! ALEXANDER (RIP 1/2007)

OF COURSE, I DO ALSO LOVE MASTERS OF HORRORS, THE SHORT MOVIES MADE BY THE MANY GREAT DIRECTORS OF OUR FAV HORROR MOVIES. THE SHOW BONES IS REALLY GREAT TOO. (I do watch some television but don’t really like the reality shows that everyone seems to be so caught up in like Survivor and American Idol. I thought Brett Michaels' Rock of Love was pretty good though! ) Buffy the Vampire Slayer was my all time favorite show when it was on and I still love it!! (Spike rules!)
I did watch Charmed when it was still on and I also love the ghost hunting shows on the Sci Fi channel and on the Travel Channel. I really like to watch the Crime Scene investigation shows and the Autopsy shows and LOVE the Law & Order show with Ice T: SVU. TALES FROM THE CRYPT ALL TIME FAVORITE!!

Books:

BOOKSI am an obsessed reader! I can never seem to get enough!

I love to read all kinds of books but really do love stories about vampires, or horror based, and also crime mysteries where there is always a person who is the killer and you are trying to figure out who they are! I have some all time favorite books and authors and luckily most of those authors have repeat characters that they continue writing about! Some of my all time favorite authors are: Laurell Hamilton (I love Anita Blake!), Stephen King, Clive Barker, Charlaine Harris (love the Sookie Sackhouse stories!), Mary Janice Davidson (love Betsy the vampire queen!), Kim Harrison (Rachel Morgan stories), Nancy A Collins (love the Sonja Blue Vampire hunter stories), Katie McAlister (love the Aisling Grey stories), Anne Rice (read them all and love them!!)
