Heroes
i see your true colors shining thru!
my mother ... my grandmother (and the rest of my immediate family) - Jen Lancaster/Caprice Crane/Meg Cabot/Josh Aterovis/Sophie Kinsella (author-wise) - Madonna, Cher, Andy Bell (music-wise) - the terrific casts of ground-breaking shows like QAF and W&G - my best friend, Nate, for being there for me and for having such extreme confidence in himself (and so much in me) - someone like that needs to be a hero to more people! - oh, and me; i am my own hero (maybe i can be someone special's special little 'wd', haha.
i am writing my first novel (hopefully the first of many!)
benjamin (kissell) hmm ... Black Friday bled into Black Saturday and Black Sunday ... well, it looms! (I'm currently black and blue from it all) Posted at 6:58 AM Nov 29 view more
About me: Benjamin Kissell ... err, me ... well, i am an aspiring (i.e. not-yet-made-it) author and artist still trying to make it in my native Fredericksburg (the gayest lil town around) before i take the world by storm! - i am a snarky, sarcastic, often loud-mouthed and witty gay man who has been told he has a personality large enough for New York City (who knows, maybe i could end up there before the day is done.) - i hope to make it in the art/writing world and take my place beside such fantastic authors as Jen Lancaster, Caprice Crane, Melissa Marr, Josh Aterovis, Marc Acito and Martha Kimes and such lucrative (read: obsceneley wealthy) authors as Stephen King and Candace Bushnell (take that muthafuckas!) - i am well on my way there ... as i have already amassed dozens (i know, soooo many) of fans with my blogs on here and appearances on the youtube show "Bedside Chats" with my best friend and co-host, Nate.
check out our commercial (above) AND the show at www.youtube.com/bedsidechats and especially, my personal favorite, episode 6 of Season One (one of our more "choreographed" and 'thought out' episodes ... including appearances by an Amy Winehouse so real you can't tell the difference and if you can? you get your money back!) - check out my blogs on here and remember that i am currently working on my first book, entitled "CAN I STAY THE NIGHT? A SERIES OF BOYFRIENDS, BAD DATES AND ONE NIGHT STANDS", keep an eye out for it AND SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT ME AND MY WORK!
Who I'd like to meet: whom i would like to meet? fans, friends and more fans! fans of my writing, my bad acting, my humor and my art! i would love to find and make a family on here (of fans ... wouldn't you love to join my 'fan club'? haha) do you think i hinted about fans enough? haha ... join my 'fan club' - and the re-inBENtion tour! - here by friend-requesting me! whom else? ... hmm ... you, i always enjoy meeting and making new friends on here (take that to mean, more fans, haha). OH, and if i could have, i would have loved to meet Jonathan Larson - the brilliant mind behind RENT and Tick, Tick Boom. La Vie Boheme!
