Overheard

And this, fellow readers, is why Miss Cellania is probably the best writer we've ever had. A thing of beauty. -YesButNoButYes

...Miss Cellania who’s wonderfully funny and knowledgeable and also happens to write for Mental Floss. Her personal blog is updated as often as any multi-contributor blog site and has some wonderful gems... -Infinite Well

Miss Cellania has links, doctored-up photos staring Miss C. herself and YouTube videos from anywhere and everywhere on the internet. If it's funny, you'll probably see it first on her blog. -Suzanne Broughton

Miss Cellania has a site that is to die for. Whenever it’s time for a bit of a smile, interspersed with a gaffaw or two, I head on over there. -Compass Points

If you’re jonesing for more links you may want to visit Miss Cellania’s blog. Or should I say blogs. She’s like the blogosphere’s version of that Jamaican family from In Living Color. She has more blogs than they had jobs. If she starts contributing to one more blog I’m going to stage an intervention. -Cynical-C

I could never in a million years come up with half the wonderful facts, news, links et al that pepper every post she creates. -Mad Baggage

It’s a fantastic set of funny and interesting links, jokes and pictures that she compiled *every day*! -Neatorama

She finds the coolest, funniest stuff day after day. How on earth she does this I have no clue. -NYC Educator

I don't even know how I found Miss C, but I remember the first time I was there, I burned my chocolate chip cookies. I just couldn't stop browsing! Fun stuff over there. -Boomer Chick

If you're not regularly heading over and reading her well compiled, link-filled-goodness posts already, then maybe you should take a step back and do some self reflection and introspection to make sure your life is headed the direction it needs to be and that you're on a path that is fulfilling to you and your fellow man, as a person and as an American. -Hoodlumman

Funniest woman alive. -Pixie

It is quite possibly one of the most extensive sites I have seen for links to humourous content. It is a virtual encyclopedia for a myriad of different jokes on different topics and still growing. So a good site and worth checking out, theres definitely something for everyone, or anyone whos up for a laugh that is! -Mr. Joe Blog

BTW - you quite possibly put together the best, most well researched content on the web, bigtime kudos to you! -Anita B

One place I keep going back to is Miss Cellania. She really has it going on over there. Her posts are chock full of stuff I've never seen before, along with a few old favorites I had forgotten about. Anyone that can consistently come up with that much good stuff deserves kudos. -Blue Beaver Beer

Miss Cellania - is a great read, and there’s more than enough laughs to kill an evening with, on any given day. Miss C has her fingers on the pulse of every joke on the web that you haven’t seen yet. -Saskboy

(Funny, if a tad lowbrow) -Utopia Moment

Fabulous as usual..I appreciate all of the effort..and I am truly humbled. -Homo Escapeons

I'm not even sure why I thought her post is funny, but it is. That's all you're getting from me. Go read it. -konagod

YAY! Miss Cellania knows I'm alive!! -Fuzzy Dave

Vampires!

We like our pop culture vampires because they are a balance between horrifying and sexy. At least they should be a balance. Nosferatu was anything but sexy (but satisfyingly horrid), and the vampires of the Twilight series are anything but horrifying (and strangely unsexy in my opinion). In between you have the masters of the genre, Bela Lugosi, Frank Langella, even Gary Oldman to a point. Of course, that's my age showing. If I were, say, eleven years old, my perfect vampire might be Edward Cullen of the Twilight series. My youngest child, Gothgrrl, has read all four books over and over. Just to keep her reading, I bought her Interview with the Vampire to open her horizons on the vampire genre just a little. We will work our way up to Dracula eventually. Meanwhile, there are plenty of other vampires roaming the internet you might enjoy.

You Are A Vampire
You have a real thirst for bliss, and you consider yourself a true hedonist. And you're not afraid to walk alone in life, if it means getting what you truly crave. You truly enjoy entrancing people. Not to mention the ensuing pleasures of the flesh. Your tastes have been called decadent and bizarre. You usually give in to your temptations, no matter how primal

Your greatest power: Your flawless ability to seduce and charm

Your greatest weakness: Human flesh

You play well with: Werewolves

What a terrible name for a daughter. 8P

I've always been a big fan of vampire films and books. The 1979 TV version of Stephen King's _Salem's Lot_ led to my sleeping with my back to the wall for years.

The genre is not without it's clunkers, though. If you ever have a choice between elective dental surgery and watching _Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter_, I strongly suggest opting for the dental work.

What no Bunnicula?

Ann, I was not at all familiar with Bunnicula (I'm very old) until I did The Horror of Bunnies. http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/19362

The Vampire Chronicles seem like an obvious choice to follow the Twilight series. My own 12-year-old daughter is an avid reader and, like yours, has devoured all the Twilight series in record time, over and over. I was hesitating to start her on the Vampire Chronicles, which I read in high school, because I was afraid they may be too mature for her. You've convinced me to let her go for it. Thanks for the push!

Well I do agree with you that Twilight is focued more on the younger generation. We adults seem to need a little more to our vampire stories than good looks and a few choice phases. But overall I think that it is the fun of being that age and not having to worry about horror movies and books that could potentially turn a child away from some of the classics. As they get older that introduction will prompt them to want to know more about where all these teen vampire movies came from and in the end their interests in movies and literature will mature. http://vampireromancenovels.net
