I've been thinking a lot about them lately, more than is usual for me. Mostly it's been the deaths: Peter Tork, Luke Perry, Jan Michael Vincent. It doesn't help that I'm feeling my own mortality now that my friends and I have aged into that time of our lives when we start losing parents, siblings and friends. And then our childhood starts dying off too.

I'll be honest. I'm not much for celebrity and there are very few that would elicit more than oh that's sad. (Leonard Nimoy being one of them) Part of me doesn't want to know that much about them because I'm always afraid that I won't like them or worse, they're going to be someone I hate.

On the other hand, that last thing turns out to be important to me. I do 'vote with my dollars' and I'll be damned if I'm giving money to someone who stands for things I hate. This came up in talking with

all_choseny and someone we had liked turned out to be kind of racist (I had forgotten when that news had dropped because he hasn't done anything in a while). I remember being so sadly disappointed when Mel Gibson had his prejudiced melt down and haven't seen a movie of his yet (and that btw is how I learned just how prejudiced Prejudice Girl is, me saying I wouldn't see his movies when she asked about that Jesus one).

So yeah if they are homophobic, misogynistic, racist or just plain batcrap crazy (looking at you Rosanna, I never did like you but how many people are you going to blame for you getting fired?) I do want to know that because I don't want to buy their books/movies/tv shows etc. Other than that I'm probably good.

I would, however, like to know about their projects. For instance

evil_little_dog told me I should ask

shanachie_quill about Christian Kane's cooking show. I would like to know about that (Also I do love his singing voice but you do have to like country music for that).

I've signed up for Camp Nano in April. Anyone else doing that? Also getting excited for my
