Identity Is Malleable. Become That Version You Love: What You Create

(I just attempted to post the following message to the "Clint Catalyst Fans" group as a journal entry, though I'm rushed at the moment and couldn't tell if I did it correctly! Aaack!)

AT ANY RATE, HERE'S A BIT OF INFO FOR Y'ALL:

;D
(Southern? ME?)

Hey you guys...

I'm doing something revolutionary and ACTUALLY POSTING IN HERE!

(A fanfare is appropriate!
Bah ha ha ha...)

Because I'm under deadline and have a commitment tonight ("moo-deling" for Pol Atteu Couture-- woo woo!),

I'm unable to make the video clip in which I announce the contest winner.

HOWEVER,
Because I already made a clip though effed up because I can't figure out how to transfer the damn thing

(good thing I'm a self-admitted techno-tard, hrmm? I've "taken the first step!" I've "taken the first step!"),

the forthcoming video will have a little "give-away" surprise...

Or I suppose I should say

SURPRISES?


Such suspense.
Please: try to contain yourselves! ;D

Also, massive thanks to all who've contributed here...I'm both flattered and appreciative.

If you post anything even semi-noteworthy (ex: the bitchen banner Joanna made me!), please be sure and drop me a note telling me to cruise over here!

In case you haven't heard, I tend to put more on the proverbial plate than I can handle.

(Translation? I get overwhelmed and forget about shit!)

Also, if you're not a member of the MySpace group Tallulah so kindly began (entitled "Clint Catalyst Friends and Fans" -- a wise choice, as far as I'm concerned, because I'm not the type to refer to anyone who's into my work as a 'fan.' I mean, I'll call *myself* a fan of someone else, but... you get it),

please sign on up!

When the total number of group members hits a certain digit (and yeah, of course it's geeky and literary-related), I plan to do ANOTHER give-away: and for anyone who has an interest, it should be well worth it. =D

O.K.,
reallllllllly have to go now, but

please be patient and watch my latest video clip in the interim!

Also, since I've only recently begun to utilize "The 'Tubes,"

I'd love to be connected with any of you over there, as well:

Massive Thanks, and
Best of Bloody Valentine's Wishes!

Besos Overdose,

IT’S CONTEST TIME AGAIN!So yeah, full disclosure:
I’ve got a bit of a love/hate thing with Valentine’s Day…

Then again,
I’ve got a love/hate relationship with a lot of things!

THE GREAT THING ABOUT HOLIDAYS, HOWEVS?

They’re a great excuse for me to have a “GIVE-AWAY!”

(‘Cause for whatever reason, it’s a source of entertainment…
Right up until it involves me schlepping to the post office!
UGH.WHAT AM I GIVING AWAY,
YOU ASK?

A hand-painted, personalized copy of
Pills, Thrills, Chills and Heartache…
An anthology I co-edited with my fab friend Michelle Tea ♥
That’s now COMPLETELY SOLD OUT,
(A fact on its own makes the book a 'collectible.')

NEW, UNREAD COPIES OF THE BOOK
ARE ALREADY LISTED ON AMAZON
AT $36, $39, $72…

HOWEVER, THOSE ARE THE REGULAR COPIES.

OF THE PERSONALIZED,
HAND-PAINTED COPIES,
IT’S AN EXTREMELY LIMITED EDITION of 33.

THE WINNER NOT ONLY GETS
ONE OF THOSE
SIGNED and NUMBERED COPIES…

I’LL ALSO DO A LITTLE
‘SPECIAL REQUEST’ ACTION

SO THAT THE END RESULT
IS ”Soo” YOU.

(I hope!)
=D


* Examples of the first 9 books of the 33 can be viewed here: *

YA GOT IT?


For a person to be considered ‘for the win,’
All you have to do is follow these simple rules:

1) Leave a comment--regardless whether it's of praise or it's a criticism--on EVERY SINGLE ONE of the 8 options listed above.

2) "Rate" the clips (obviously giving your fave of the lot “5 Stars”),

and then,

AFTER you’ve completed both 1) and 2),
(Don’t forget, kids—it’ll be easy to “back-track” by your user name and see if you slacked in the comment dept!)

leave

3) A general page comment on

www.youtube.com/user/netflixgreatestkiss

stating
WHICH OF THE 8 IS YOUR FAVORITE
OUT OF “Clint’s Choices,”
AND WHY...


VERY IMPORTANT!  PLEASE NOTE:

Neither Netflix nor YouTube endorses either this
“Contest-Within-A-Contest”

Nor does either company--
Or any of their affiliates--
Approve of any of the opinions expressed
In this “Give-Away,”

FURTHERMORE, NONE OF THE AFOREMENTIONED
APPROVEs OF THE SUBJECT MATTER,
BOOK TITLE, or OPINIONS ASSOCIATED WITHIN MY ‘PRIZE.’


Said another way?
This is my book, and my contest.

YouTube is like a “new toy” to me,
And I selected it as a means of choosing a ‘winner’
The same way I’ve used other sites in the past…

(Case in point: other “Give-Away”s
in which I had contestants retrieve info
from my page on imdb.com)


The “Winner” Will Be Chosen At Random,
At Which Time I’ll Ask For Basic Contact Information.

THE DEADLINE IS 11:59 P.M. (Pacific Standard Time)
THIS SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 8th…


So go on and start clicking those links
NOWWWWWWWWW,

HOWEVER,
Because I’d rather not have to deal with anyone’s parents,

This Give-Away is limited to the ’18-and-Over’ Demographic.

(Apologies for that, my little cuties:
But there’ll be others…I promise!)

Thanks to anyone who’s read this far,
And BEST OF LUCK!
