Helen's Buzznet Yearbook Who's Who--2008


I thought this would be a fun way to celebrate my talented Buzznet friends, and to introduce some of my friends to others whom they may not know. I tried to include all active members. I have also included links to some fine examples of peoples’ work, so please follow the links to see more.

Disclaimer: This journal only includes people who are on my friends list; I know there are many others who deserve to be here, too. If there is someone you know who deserves recognition, let us hear about them.

So, have fun, and if you enjoyed it, please comment, ‘cause it sure was a ton of work..

Best Hair

Becky (kassady)
I can’t decide which is more amazing: her photography or her hair!


Buzznet’s Poet Laureates
 
Savannah (tryingtofindthewords)

“Yearning for Summer”
I yearn for the smell of summer
Lotion and coconut mixed with the sea
Long days spinning into a wild blur
Savoring the moments of being totally free

 Spending hours doing nothing without a care
Exploring the sandy beaches all day long
Just sitting and breathing in the fresh salty air
Amongst the rocks you feel like you really belong

Your favorite pair of flip flops flapping on your feet
The sticky sand gritty between your soaked toes
Walking around town, up and down each street
Riding with the friendly breeze grabbing your clothes

As evening sets soft cheeks resting on strong shoulders
Your warm skin glowing from living under the sun
With the ones you love watching the sky light on fire
Knowing the adventures of night have just begun

                                                                                    xo Savannah 

AND

Sarah (hyperballad13)

Across A Twilight

Across a twilight
A million hopes dashed as eyes,
Captivating the light
Blinks with the sunrise.

A thousand shadows
Over the hollow moon
Of lovers teeth in crooked smiles.
In a crescent style swoon.

Twisting breeze through night
 Winding air interlock lips,
With branching palms
And blooming fingertips.

Calling of the seldom words
To tingle down your skin
The flesh of opaque bones
Shudder with the wind.

Scatter the shattered hearts
To entwine with the dark
Sew the stars into wounds
Give breath to the spark…

****
Ciao Bella

Best Interviewer

djrossstar
Here’s a link to an interview djrossstar (Does anyone know his name? He never did tell me.) did with Tyson Ritter from All American Rejects. DJROSSSTAR is much more charming in it than the musician-LOL.  CLICK HERE

Buzznet’s Conscience


Sue (crash13) 
Every so often Sue tackles a Big Issue in her journal. She always writes with intelligence, clarity, wit and good sense. And always takes the high road.
Here’s a recent one she posted called “Religion Isn’t Trendy.”  CLICK HERE

Most Elegant
   

Veronika/Вероника (vero333)
(The unusual-looking letters are how she spells her name in Russian)


Wittiest

Ashly (newageamazon)
Very few of us can take a head full of words and ideas and combine them in exactly the right proportions to produce the consistently witty and incisive journals that Ashly has been tapping out since November 2006. To borrow from Ashly, “I cannot stress this enough.” Very. Few. Of. Us. Seriously, if Bravo ever decided to air a show called “Top Wit,” Ashly would win, hands down.

Cryptkeeper

Lea (lev011)
Our resident horror movie expert, she’s always ready with a film recommendation or just to chat about one of her favorite subjects. If you love movies, check out her movie group  “Buzznet Movie World”  CLICK HERE

Best Movie Makeup


Gemma (gemmaxloves) 
Here’s a link to a journal she did which shows the different styles of makeup she’s able to do on herself. Some of it is delightfully gruesome!   CLICK HERE

Tiredest


Anne  (annieli)

Best Tattoos


Mark  (George Lucas would be proud)

Miss Canada

World's Sexiest Vegetarian: Who Do You Vote for?

Ooh, I haven’t written a blog in yonks! 

So I thought I’d start June off on a healthy, yet sexy note. If you haven’t already, head on over to peta2’s  website and vote for this year’s World’s Sexiest Vegetarian award. Many, many musicians from our favorite bands are nominated this year, including:

Andy Hurley--FOB
Anthony Kiedis--Red Hot Chili Peppers
Dan Torelli--Madina Lake
Davey Havok--AFI/Blaqk Audio
Derek Grant--Alkaline Trio
Geoff Rickly--Thursday
Gabe Saporta--Cobra Starship
Frank Iero--My Chemical Romance
Jared Leto—30 STM
Jade Puget—AFI/Blaqk Audio
Hunter--AFI
Josh Bradford--Silverstein
Matt Skiba--Alkaline Trio
Michael Guy Chislett--TAI
Morrissey
Mos Def
Oliver Sykes--Bring Me the Horizon
Tom Yorke--Radiohead
Tom Higgenson--Plain White T’s
Ville Valo—HIM

AND MANY, MANY MORE!

I voted for Gabe.  I know; you’re shocked. But Davey won last year, and I wanted to give someone else a chance. Here’s what our friend Gabe had to say in his blog of May 21:

Oh! One last thing: I just found out I've been nominated for this year's Sexiest Vegetarian by Peta. Now, I've been nominated for this in the past and I didn't win. In fact, I've never won anything! (except for when I was on a Saturday morning kids show in Uruguay and they had a dance contest for all us kids in the studio audience and I was so bad that they made a special award for me: "Matador de Cucarachas"). So go vote for me because it's definitely about time I won something! Especially if it has to do with being sexy!

***

You’re obligated to vote for a female also. There are about 10 times as many males nominated. I don’t know whether this is because there are more male vegetarians or that more sexy vegetarians are male. Here are a few of the female nominees from the world of music:  Greta Salpeter (Hush Sound), Joan Jett, India.Arie,  and Joss Stone.

So go on over and show your support  You can also see a tally showing who is currently in the lead.
