The smile when you tore me apart...

A talented writer friend of mine, Mark Leslie, is auctioning off a chance to be a character on his blog serial thriller, "I, Death". You can even be murdered, if that's your bag! I see this as a once in a lifetime opportunity to witness one's own senseless demise, without the whole actual 'gripping panic as you fight desperately for your life against a hell-bent maniac'. (I, frankly, have never been one to enjoy a good sweat.)

Okay, so you can die, and support literacy at the same time, without worrying if your will is up-to-date or if your ungrateful kids will hock the jewelery off your corpse while you are still warm. What a wicked deal! Check out the auction here, and begin your journey into infamy...

By the way, the title of this blog is from a song by Within Temptation, called "Angels". Within Temptation are an angsty mix of goth, incredible vocals and power rock, reminiscent of Evanescence. See their awesome, vigilante justice video here: "Angels" And for something completely different, see this fanvideo, based on Aragorn & Arwen from LOTR. (*sigh* why can't you love ME, aragorn? is it the ears?) The song is "Memories", also by Within Temptation.
