Rebirth

With a new year, I figured it's time to give this blog new life.

Sadly, it was ended almost a year ago due to an unfortunate incident I've been trying to block from my mind. What has spawned this new eagerness to blog? Well aside from my newish laptop, and the whole New Year's resolution stuff, it is this. The PR group in charge of promoting the Coraline movie has been sending boxes of Coraline stuff out to bloggers talking about the movie. It's like a golden ticket!!! And I am Charlie Bucket and it is my sincerest wish to get one.

In case there are any of the PR people stumbling across this blog let me tell you why I think I should get it.

1. I am a huge Neil Gaiman fan! So much so that I actually read several of his stories from Smoke and Mirrors at bedtime to my high school youth group while we were on a trip - and made fans out of several of them.

2. I have a degree in animation. Sadly, a degree I do not use at my current job in a library, but that would make it all the more sweet! I was dying to work at Aardman studios (or any other studio for that matter) for the longest time, and actually applied to several jobs, but alas nothing. Stop-motion has a special place in my heart and I understand the work that goes into these movies.

3. Since I work at a library, I could use it for a display to promote the movie AND his books! How awesome would that be?!

So - ye gods of Coraline PR, if you want to grant a sad librarian one wish this new year, it would be to recieve one of your glorious boxes - my email is stephaniemarietyson@hotmail.com - just in case you need to email me to get my address.
