Diary of a Fangirl: Meeting James Marsters and Nicholas Brendon

Today’s guest post is from Julie: I’d seen Nick and James in Chicago.  In Chicago I nagged Froggy (the con photographer) into adding the Nick/James sandwich to the photo op menu.  When the three of us were in the photo tent I (gently?) shoved them together in an attempt to get a fun and slashy result.  Nick, […]

Diary of a Fangirl: Shark Tank

One of my favorite shows has finally returned this past Friday–Shark Tank. This show was one of the few shows that I started to watch because my mother insisted that I do.  I grudgingly watched an ep and shortly thereafter became addicted.  The addiction just happened to coincide when the dynamic of the tank was […]

Diary of a Fangirl: Fangirl Excerpt

Yesterday, I had my first reading for Fangirl (hence the howling abyss on this blog yesterday).  So today, in celebration of the success that was and the upcoming reading I’ll have October 3rd at Beverly Branch Library, I’m going to go ahead and post chapter 1 in its entirety here.  First, my Fangirl celebrity promo […]

Diary of a Fangirl: Breaking Bad

Breaking Bad is another show on a long list of shows I have yet to see.  That all changed the other night when I saw the first two eps of the series at my BFF’s house. I have mixed feelings about the show.  I mean, it’s funny and interesting and I want to know what happens […]

Diary of a Fangirl: Chicago Teachers Union Strike

Hello, gentle readers. Usually I don’t do this, but I can’t help but make a post here because this whole Chicago Teachers Union strike thing has affected me on a visceral, emotional, and personal level. I was out this morning, and saw them picketing outside of a school on Western, and I honked my horn […]

Diary of a Fangirl: Meeting Eddie McClintock

Today’s guest post is from Tori: I had a blast, as per usual! Lol Eddie was such a nice guy!He was very talkative with his fans, took time with each one of us instead of just ushering everyone thru like cattle. Sadly, I was so nervous I couldn’t talk to him. LOL. Paige Brown chatted […]

Diary of a Fangirl: MTV VMAs

Late last night, I decided to watch the VMAs.  What a colossal waste of time that was. The host was Kevin Hart, who was un-funny, boring as hell and trying too hard (cause he was un-funny).  The talent for the evening was non-existent.  Even Green Day, who I love, was subpar. I really don’t understand […]

Diary of a Fangirl: President Bill Clinton

“What new ideas did we bring to Washington?  ARITHMETIC!” You know, I’m trying my best to keep politics 100% out of Fangirl, but you know something?  I totally fangirl President Clinton. President Clinton truly does move me.  He is insanely intelligent, charismatic, funny, and an all around great human being. I’ll keep it short, but […]
