Show Me Your Fangs

Well, after long hours of indecision, I've finally come up with an artifact. Is it original? Probably not. But do I know a fair amount about it? Unfortunately, yes. That's right boys and girls. My topic is vampires.

Why? Well, the reason is, we're in the middle of an epidimic right now. Vampirism has swept the nation, giving rise to tweens and middle aged women gone mad from bloodlust. You can't walk five feet without being accosted by wave after wave of bloodsucking nonsense. Things like Twilight have created fanaticle groups of people, dying to get a taste of that forbidden fruit, as well as a taste of Taylor Lautner's abs. And its not just vampires now. Werewolves, demons and even fairies have spawned from this crazy cultural phenomenon. What does it mean? Where is it headed? And most importantly, when is it all just going to stop? These are the questions I intend to find the answers to.

Possible topics to include:
Twilight and Domestic Violence
True Blood = Paper-Thin Metaphor for Various Minority Rights Movements
The Evolution of Vampirism: From Nosferatu to Interview with a Vampire and Beyond
All That Glitters is Not Dead: The True Vampire and What it Means to Us
And so on. (By the by, I just made those up as silly names for topics to cover. They aren't existing articles or anything. I think.)

I can't be sure as to what horrifying conclusion I'll come to, but whatever it is, I'm sure it'll shed some light on this crazy vampire trend.

For now,
Mischief Managed.

PS: This is NOT my essay. This is just a blog entry of my thoughts.

I Think You're Just So Pleasant

Why do let me stay here?
All by myself
Why don't you come and play here?
I'm just sitting on the shelf

Why don't you sit right down and stay awhile?
We like the same things and I like your style
Its not a secret; why do you keep it?
I'm just sitting on the shelf

I got to get your presence
Let's make it known
I think you're just so pleasant
I would like you for my own

Why don't you sit right down and make me smile? (uh huh)
You make me feel like I am just a child
Why do you end it?
Just give me credit
I'm just sitting on the shelf

Words cannot express how much I enjoy this :P

Messrs. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs, Purveyors of Aids to Magical Mischief-Makers are proud to present...

Hello. I am Meredith, and you've stumbled upon, or more likely are taking up a weekly grade of, my blog. Welcome! I don't have much to say right now, but I hope that over the course of this semester and beyond, you might take interest in my thoughts on art, film, literature, music, nail art, fashion, Japanese anime, and other eclectic musings that pop into my brain.

And now for a lengthy introduction:

I'm a sophomore Arts and Humanities student. My goal is to become a novelist (day-job to be determined :D). My specialties are fine arts and writing (surprise!), but I am an avid lover of everything that falls under the arts category. Especially musicals. Oh how I love musicals. I've had 7-8 years of art classes which have resulted in stacks of artwork varying in quality as well as countless sketchbooks filled to the brim with manga sketches that will never ever be seen by anyone but me :P

I'm a nerd of a most varied sort, with my hobbies ranging from anime (my first and true love) to Steampunk. I spend way too much time watching movies, and I paint on anything from my nails to Asian ball-jointed dolls.

That's about it. I hope to use this blog not only to receive the necessary grade, but to voice my thoughts about things that strike me as interesting. If there's a musical to be seen, I'll post a review. If there's an art gallery to be viewed, I'll recommend it. If there's a song that's been stuck in my head for days, I'll talk about it. If I'm lucky, I'll even polish my writing a bit. Here's hoping!

Looking forward to a lovely semester!~

Mischief Managed.
