the journal of a fangirly insect

It's the first day of my three-and-a-half week vacation. If that wasn't awesome enough, I got a package in the mail. :D



These are issues that I really, really wanted, and yet they cost way too much for me to seriously think about buying them: Team-Up with Widdle Wade, the Encyclopedia Deadpoolica, Deadpool/Death annual 1998, Deadpool #44, Black Panther #23, New Mutants #98, Baby's First Deadpool Book (okay, I already have a copy of this, now that I think about it, but it was part of the lot), and Deadpool #66-69. All of them are in NM condition. And I got them for an average of a dollar apiece, including shipping.

I know no one is likely to care but me, but...dude. This is incredibly awesome.

5,000 / 50,000 (9.0%)

Thanks to taking part in mini_nanowrimo, I feel all inspired and stuff! One hundred words a day for the month of November - surely I can accomplish THAT, right?

It bothers me greatly that the counter says that I've completed 9% of my goal, when 5000 is clearly 10% of 50,000... XD

And, so this post isn't completely pointless - eBay lolz! Phantom of the Opera old fashioned key with tassel! It's not the key/tassel combination itself that makes me LOL (I hate that in the movie though, with Gerik locking Christine in her dressing room - I much prefer Christine locking Raoul out of her dressing room), but the description.

A Key to lock out Raoul from Christine's life...

A Beautiful addition to any Phantom of the Opera collector's collection.

How can one forget when Erik locked out Raoul, in the hope of winning her heart.

The symbol of his hold on her...

In the movie, the Phantom turns the key to Christine's dressing room. A key that looks like this one. A key to keep Raoul out.

Because nothing says love like locking someone in a room so she can't escape when you put the moves on her.
