fight for your happiness

verticalprint:

So I work at a Museum Store in a science-y place. I was cashiering when my coworker ran up to me and said “Amanda Palmer and Neil Gaiman are here. Do you want me to take your register?” I immediately agreed, grabbed blank receipt paper and a pen and ran. Amanda and Neil not only gave me their autographs, BUT THEY DREW ME SILLY DINOSAURS. I was so starstruck that the only words I said to NEIL GAIMAN, THE WRITER OF “THE DOCTOR’S WIFE” AND “STARDUST” were “…Can you sign too, please? Thanks so much.” I’m rather disappointed in myself, but it’s alright because I have an ALIEN-PIZZASARUS AND A UKULELESAUR.

This was my favourite cosplayer. She’s dressed as Death of The Endless from Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman graphic novel series. Oh and I’m here as well. Welp.

I remember when I created Death wondering if there would ever be Death cosplayers. Back then there were almost no women reading mainstream comics, so it seemed unlikely. And now, 25 years later, she’s caught up with us…

Mr. Gaiman is so wonderfully humble and sweet! And man I would love to do a  Death or Delirium cosplay one day…

Oh, dear God. 

I was relieved when Stephen Fry and I drew with 50% of the Anglophenia vote each. There, I thought. That’s the way to do it. Honour is satisfied, and I do not have to apologise to anyone, or worry or ever think about this thing again.

I think people in BBC America are having too much fun with this contest.

One vote?

ALAN FUCKING RICKMAN?

Neil Gaiman famously posted on his Tumblr that he didn’t stand a chance against Stephen Fry in their Round 1 battle. But the novelist triumphed over his “national treasure” opponent – by ONE vote. (There were more lead changes in this matchup than in Bush/Gore.) This could be a case of “out of the frying pan and into the fire,” as Gaiman now faces last year’s champion Alan Rickman (who beat Gary Oldman in Round 1).

#AAAAaaaaarrrgghh.

Bless Mr. Gaiman for his humility and very tumblr-savvy use of tags.

Well, I know that I’d watch it…

Please, PLEASE someone make this movie. You can have all my monies.

Whoa, a Neil-Gaiman-approved fan-casting of Good Omens (funnily enough with two of my BBs leading man-lusts). Not bad… though I wonder if Cumberbatch’s Aziraphale could be prissy enough (he looks a little too diabolical for a stuffy huffy angel but maybe its coz I associate him with Sherlock).

I met the owner of this tattoo last night, at Kickstarter’s third birthday party. She was really nice, and only showed me the tattoo when Amanda asked to see it (I was much too shy). 

She asked how I felt about people with tattoos of my words on them, and I told her I felt honoured.

And afterward, I thought, yes. That really is how I feel: not proud, just that it is an honour to have given people something they felt was important enough to place permanently on their skin.

This is my fifth tattoo, second literary. It’s a quote from Neil Gaiman’s American Gods that reminds me to always believe in something, to have wonder, and be open to magic. It’s the beginning of a long and brilliant soliloquy by Girl Sam.

neil-gaiman:

 恭喜发财 everyone.

This one is just for Tumblr. You can tell because I am in my pyjamas. (I just had to teach my computer the spelling Pyjamas, after it corrected it to pajamas)

This makes me extra happy coz I’m a dragon baby myself. Happy Year of The Dragon everybody!
