That is so awesome..

[alexiarnps.livejournal.com]

Your website's on Dreamhost, right? ;-)

[ladymairwen.livejournal.com]

How utterly fabulous!

And it's a good article even discounting the namecheck. :-)

[miss-lisa-ma.livejournal.com]

How very magnificent! *swoons*

[zenkitty-714.livejournal.com]

U R FAMOUS NAOW!

Seriously, that's brilliant!

[lemonlies.livejournal.com]

That is freaking fantastic. :D

[leenerella]

Well, of course they did! :)

[bork.livejournal.com]

Nice! Congrats!

[jola.livejournal.com]

So yer some sort of big deal now huh? Can i borrow some money??

;p

[icprncs.livejournal.com]

Well that's pretty dang cool.


(Although it's representative of my current state of mind that my first thought was, "Oh great, now Jilli's going to get trolled by a bunch of jerkwads." :P )

(And don't bother telling me how much I resemble your husband. :P )

Your website gets mentioned in the comments too! I don't suggest reading the comments because they are generally terrible as comments sections tend to be but you'll be proud to know that one of your snarkling followers actually responds very politely to some of the less than awesome people and suggested that if they were confused about what Goth was, they should go to your website. So congrats on that and may the charm school ways spread even farther!

Thank you for sharing this. :}

Do we need to have that "Jilli, you're a famous Goth Icon" conversation again?

::laughs nervously, changes the subject::

Look! Bats! Over there!

[ghost-girl.livejournal.com]

ooooh bats! :D

so happy for you, yay! What a lovely article to be mentioned in! :)

[brockulfsen.livejournal.com]

That probably should read Fabulous Goth Icon...

[staxxy.livejournal.com]

no no... she's been a Fabulous Goth Icon for much much longer than she has been a Famous one. It is important that she really absorbs that she is famous now. So far she has had a tendency to stick her fingers in her ears and sing My Chemical Romance songs for a while, whenever it is mentioned.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

No idea what you're talking about. None.

::starts humming "Vampires Will Never Hurt You::

[staxxy.livejournal.com]

you can lie to yourself, sugar, but you can't lie to me. ;)

[fiorituranotte.livejournal.com]

That's awesome!

[twilight2000.livejournal.com]

Excellent! You make a difference, lady!

[jesseh.livejournal.com]

See! This is what I was trying to say the other day! You are A Big Deal and a Go-To person/site!

Nice!

[fyrdrakken]

Congrats!

[torreybird.livejournal.com]

Dude - and linked in TWO places to gothic-charm-school.

Freaking awesome. :-) How marvelous.

Of course you'll get trolled more, now - but still. Fantastic.

[fangirl715.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! Everyone else always knew you were the expert, and now, according to CNN.com, it's official!

[rocket-jockey.livejournal.com]

I see I don't have to send you the link. ;)

More evidence that you're the Goth Hostess With The Mostes' and a bona-fide Cultural Icon.

[calligrafiti.livejournal.com]

That's terrific!

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

Rock on with your charmingly well-behaved gothic self!

[killingjoe.livejournal.com]

Nice read! You should be proud :D
