Name: Kat

Position: Managing Editor

Album of the Week: Boyz II Men - Love

Weekly Song Obsession: Dead Boys - What Love Is

Movie You HAVE to see or saw this week: I have been SO behind with movies. I really want to see 2012 despite the poor things I’ve heard about it.

Most random text message: “Where have you been? It’s been Rape Joke Population: 1 until you came back!”

Most embarrassing: Checking out the employee stocking shelves at Dollar Tree and right as we caught each other’s eyes, I crashed into a box of wrapping paper.

Geek Indulgence: This question is so hard to answer, because every day is a geek indulging day for me.

Funniest follower tweet: I never pay attention enough and nothing in particular stands out this week!

Favorite Staff Moment: Things have honestly been so hectic lately, it’s hard to pick any specific moments out of our days.

What is your favorite thanksgiving memory?: I haven’t really ‘celebrated’ Thanksgiving for very long. I went to a friend’s house once and it was so disastrous it was awesome.

What are you thankful for?: I’m almost certain this is so stereotypical, but my family, friends, music, and amazing opportunities that somehow fall into my lap. And my dog, duh.

Teenage celebrity crush?: Oh god, I don’t even know where to start! Johnathan Taylor Thomas, Ben Foster, Rider Strong. And an insane girl crush on Amy Jo Johnson!

What do you do when you’re not working or yelling at Justin YPA?: I take Psychology classes and do a lot of art-related things. Naming everything I enjoy doing in my spare time would be boring.

What’s your staff nickname?: KatKat, English muffin.. whatever comes to mind at the time, I reckon!

Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?: No, I’m kind of the ultimate male repellant, and definitely not really the relationship type of person. But I’m slowly easing myself out of that and into a crush on a certain boy.

Are you easy to get along with?: A lot of the time my sarcasm or dry humour is mistaken for bitchiness, but I’d like to think it’s easy!

Most embarrassing: Not paying attention when walking Bandit.. led me straight into a telephone pole on a main road.

Geek Indulgence: Had (another) Star Wars marathon with my dog.

Funniest follower tweet:

@warrenellis Politicians don’t kiss babies. They test them for flavour.

@zefrank LA drivers treat rain like it was an amusement park ride. they are scared, but it doesn’t stop them from wanting to go as fast as they can.

Favorite Staff Moment: Talking so much to Brad he didn”t have a chance to get a word in.

What do you plan on being for Halloween?: Ms. Marvel.

What’s your favorite(s) scary movie?: I could honestly go on forever.. HUGE horror movie fan. Anything Romero.. Dead Alive, all the Halloween movies. And I’m mildly obsessed with Bela Lugosi.

Who are you most like? Jason or Freddy?: I’m more like Freddy in the dark humour sense.. Jason always has a bigger body count and is more menacing. I’m hardly scary.

What do you do when you’re not working? (Reader submitted): I rarely have free time, especially as of late. I uh.. knit, read comics, draw, write, go camping, talk to certain Jews, and I’m kind of in love with my puppy so we go on lots of adventures.

Name: Justin YPA

Position: Editor In Chief

Album of the Week: Thy Will Be Done - In Ancient of Days or Saw VI soundtrack which is epic.
Song Obsession: “Ashes They Shall Reap” - Hatebreed on the Saw VI Soundtrack


Movie You HAVE to see: Law Abiding Citizen which I hear from Gino Vento of Thick As Blood is really awesome.

Favorite article of clothing: This week it’s been my much coveted Blood for Blood hoodie and finally broken in khaki Dickies shorts. Also the really awesome Hatebreed shirt Mary from Stillborn Records sent over for me.

Most random text message this week: “This inbred looking guy keeps stairing at me in line for court. Fuck my life.” - Krystin when she’s in one of her moods.

Most embarrassing moment this week: Totally got made fun of by Phoenix Askani for acting like a whiny little girl this week because I was tired and sick. I was too, I hate being sick.

Favorite Staff Moment: This week it’d have to be the fact that Krystin, xChadballx and me all had to go to the court house on the same day to pay for traffic violations. What the hell is wrong with all of us?

What do you plan on being for Halloween: I’m thinking probably Al Boreland from Home Improvement or a Ghostbuster.

What’s your favorite(s) scary movie: 8mm. I know it’s not a traditional horror movie, but that snuff film and underground world of porn thing really freaks me out. That movie is so damn real. I didn’t want to look at porn for a month after.

Who are you most like? Jason or Freddy: Honestly? Niether. I’m more like Pinhead from Hellraiser. I’m the most diplomatic of the movie monsters.

What do you do when you’re not working (Reader submitted): My job is so much fun it hardly seems like work. But when I’m forced by staff to quit for the day I’m usually hanging out with @OMTC, @Tokeez  or @ErinScissorHand. Every Monday is Heroes night and every Thursday is Project Runway and Making Over America night. Other than that I’m listening to new records the labels send me, hanging posters in my room or taking my dog out for a run.

Comments: It’s been quite the week. I caught a little bit of a cold from Alexia from Eyes Set to Kill haha. I spent most of my week dealing with that and henios alergies. Other than that, I’ve been enjoying the new records from Stillborn and stoked on
