Elvis Tagged Me

Good News! I've been tagged by the greatest rock n' roll singer of all time! Not really, but I have been tagged by the greatest Elvis fan of all time.

She goes by ElvisLover and her blog is awesome! Ironically she had tagged me on my birthday of August 19th. I am way behind on my emails. So here's my meme.

The rules here are simple:
1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Mention the rules.
3. Tell six unspectacular quirks of yours.
4. Tag six bloggers by linking.
5. Leave a comment for each blogger.

Hmmm my quirky list of.....


1) I am an absolute die hard sushi lover. I could eat it 24/7! When I moved back to the small town of Independence, KS it was a given that there would be no available sushi here. So, I started making my own. And right now, I'm craving sushi!!

2) I can't stand the taste of soda or any drinks that are really sweet. I'll stick to my unsweetened Iced Tea, thank you!

3) I'm a karaoke nut. Sure I could go out and buy a karaoke machine and sing in front of friends, but I'd rather sing in front of a crowd in a public place! I love singing.

4) I don't like really big dogs. At times my own dog scares me. When I was five I had a doberman break it's chain and jump the fence as I was walking home from school. He was abused by his owners and tried attacking me and my friend who had walked home with me at the time.

5) I love reading. I can get lost in a good romance novel for hours. It's a great escape and one of the reasons I love writing novels.

6) If there's a tornado on the ground and headed our way or a really bad storm, I'm outside in it. Storms and tornadoes fascinate me.

I've really been out of the loop as far as reading my favorite blogs lately. So I'm breaking the rules and ending this here! Besides, I have way too many blogs that I love reading! If you want proof and some great blogs to check out, see the right hand side of my page for Blogs I'm reading. :)

Linkin' Park Fan Goes Too Far

It's one thing to be a fan of music star's like Chester Bennington from the band, Linkin' Park. It's a whole other ball game when you step out of those boundaries as a fan, and become a stalker as Devon Townsend from Albuquerque, New Mexico did.

Devon used her computer at work to obtain information on Chester and his family by simply accessing his email account. From there she was able to get social security numbers, cell phone information and even personal photo's of the musician's children.

I can't imagine what he and his family went through during her time of havoc, but I can understand their feelings of terror. While things will never be the same for Chester and his family, they can finally have some peace since Devon's madness started. She has been sentenced to two years in minimum-security prison in Phoenix, according to yahoo news.

Being a fan of a celebrity or music group is great. Fans are what make stars like Chester Bennington shine in the spotlight and enjoy their success. Overstepping your boundaries as a fan however, is uncalled for.

Celebrities and musicians have just as much right to their privacy as we do. While they are photographed by the paparazzi and will have to endure much more attention than most people, it does not give someone the right to access their personal information and fool around with their lives.

Everyone deserves to be respected. Including those who are famous. Please do so.

A Dedicated Fan

Angela Fleming, better known as Angel Rose, has always been a huge fan of music. On her personal myspace page she writes, "If I didn't have Cerebral Palsy I would be a musician myself. I love music that much. Music makes me smile. Just turn up the music and leave reality for a while."

Yes, Angela has cerebral palsy. It may slow her down, but it doesn't stop her. As a matter of fact, Angela is one of the most busiest women I know. She not only runs My Momma's Fallen Angel ....a fan page dedicated to Bret Michaels, she has 8 other fan pages and clubs for musicians, that she runs as well.

Angela has amazed me from the very beginning and continues to amaze me with her dedication to musicians and her love for music. Check out the other fan pages and clubs that she runs:

The Matt Fury Fan Page

Official Dean Morrison Fan Club

The Shööt The Möön Fan Page

The Eddie Law Fan Page

I’m Not Myself Fan Club

Meyvn Fan Page

Private Nation Fan Page

Crimson Steel Fan Club

One thing is for certain, it's not easy running several clubs and keeping pages updated. I for one can't do it! I have enough trouble remembering to keep track of this blog! It's no wonder she has so many fans and friends who love what she does and are inspired by her work. I for one am one of those people. She is a true musician at heart. I am glad to know her and proud to call her my online sister.
