Top 10 Most Popular Vampires Online

10. Angel from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series, and later his own spinoff series Angel.
9. Felipe De Castro from the Sookie Stackhouse / True Blood book and TV series.
8. Lara from the Dresden Files book and TV series.
7. Dracula from the 1897 novel and countless movie and tv renditions.
6. Spike from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series.
5. Lilith from ancient vampire lore.
4. Nosferatu, first appearing in the 1922 movie of the same name, an adaptation of Dracula.
3. Bill from the Sookie Stackhouse / True Blood book and TV series.
2. Alice from the Twilight series of books and movies.
…and the most popular vampire online is no surprise…
1. Edward from the Twilight series of books and movies.
I compiled this list be searching for the word Vampire + the series name + the vampire name on a number of search engines. This ensured that I was indeed getting results for a particular vampire from a particular series. The vampire’s popularity was judged by the total number of pages found for them. So, for example to rank Edward from Twilight I searched for “Vampire Twilight Edward”, which had millions and millions of pages.
Partly to prevent The Twilight Series from completely overwhelming this list I only allowed any one series a maximum of two spots on this list. The most popular vampires from Twilight were (in order) Edward, Alice, Jane, Victoria, Jasper, Laurent, Marcus, Carlisle, Rosalie, Esme, James, Aro, and Demetri. True Blood also had too many vamps on the list. The complete True Blood list (in order) is Bill, Felipe de Castro, Eric, Jessica, and Godric.
The vampires who did not make the cut were Selene from Underworld, Darren Shan, Vlad the Impaler from the 14th century, Thomas from the Dresden Files, Lestat from Anne Rice, Jean-Claude from Anita Blake, Lewis from Anne Rice, Count von Count from Sesame Street, Elizabeth Bathory from the 15th century, and Count Chocula.
I was surprised that Vlad and Lestat didn’t rank in the top 10, as both of them seem to be pretty prevelant in any serious discussion of vampire lore and media. No idea how Nosferatu made it to number 4, but perhaps that proves the staying power of a cool name.

Howling At New Moon
Posted: Dec 29, 2009 |Comments: 0

]]>
After grabbing the attention of millions with Twilight, Stephenie Meyer responded with the sequel, New Moon. Reactions varied, but most prevalent among them were the complaints about not enough Edward. Some devoted fans had to literally force themselves to finish Book Two in The Twilight Saga.
Of course, they were glad they did.
Twilight fed us a delightful romantic tale about Bella and Edward; clumsy teenage misfit falling in love with the mysterious and irresistible vampire. New Moon broadens the stage to include the emotional triangle with Jacob Black as the third pivot point. Add to this the inclusion of werewolves in what was assumed to be merely a vampire tale and now you had some tasty fodder for a story that could branch out in numerous directions.
Since reading fiction is about letting your imagination run wild, New Moon makes that possible with a full spectrum of characters and possibilities. Taking the romantic and somewhat predictable frustration from Twilight and opening a Pandora’s box of potential plot twists; New Moon was actually the perfect step for securing my allegiance to The Twilight Saga and Stephenie Meyer. This episode transformed my sufficiently satisfied reaction to Twilight into an awe-struck reaction of anticipatory anxiety as I cracked the cover on Book Three.
Fans who howled about the lack of Edward in New Moon were obviously entranced by the initial romantic pairing and assumed Edward Cullen was the end-game for the Twilight story. In truth, such a restrictive plot line would have greatly limited the author’s ability to expand her vision into a true saga with multiple books. Either they stayed together or they didn’t. Either Bella became a vampire or she didn’t. Then what?
After hooking the Twilight audience with Edward Cullen’s appeal, removing him from the drama, even temporarily, was a story-telling stroke of genius on Meyer’s part. Teasing readers with the possibility that Bella would never reclaim her true love was the mid-story cliffhanger that kept us all turning the pages.
It helps to be reminded that Twilight is not about Edward Cullen. Twilight is about Bella Swan dealing with deadly encounters and life altering decisions that are beyond her years.
Expanding the mythical aspects of The Twilight Saga with werewolves and the venues with a trip to Italy allowed our imaginations to stretch beyond the limited confines of a vampire family in Forks. Bella’s relationship with Jacob and the wolf pack multiplied the “what if” factors exponentially. Volturi danger combined with the historical revelations about vampire families simply strengthened the backdrop for a story that now stretched far beyond a juvenile crush on the ultimate boyfriend.
To those who got knee-deep into the Jacob Black segment of New Moon and gave up – it’s your loss. You stopped short of a creative stepping stone into the real world of the Twilight vampires and Bella’s inevitable plight to live a normal life – or live forever with Edward.

Misadventures in the Fetish Trade
Quickly, I’ll say that PERMANENT OBSCURITY, the novel by Richard Perez, is a rough, lurid, and kinky story about two dysfunctional women who set out to stay afloat in New York City, artistically and financially, by involving themselves in sleazy Craigslist domination ads and the film/video end of the fetish scene. What makes it odd is that this book is actually intended to be a comedy. And what makes it even more strange is that it’s actually funny.

I’m in Love With a Vampire

There, I said it.
His name is Edward Cullen and he’s the lead character in the book Twilight, the first in a series of four books (five if you count the most recent partial transcript posted online) written by Stephanie Meyer.
The story goes something like this – Bella, a Plain Jane high school student whose parents are divorced, moves to Forks, Washington to live with her dad. At Forks High School, she meets Edward Cullen, a beyond gorgeous fellow high schooler with pale skin, extraordinary physical capabilities and a slew of weird behaviors nobody can explain.
Readers of Twilight soon learn:
1. Edward is a human-friendly vampire who “feeds” only on animals.
2. He’s never been more attracted to anyone’s smell than Bella’s.
3. He can read everyone’s mind but hers.
4. He desperately wants to be with Bella but is utterly afraid he’ll hurt her, both physically and emotionally.
5. He must protect Bella from non-human-friendly vampires, one who is particularly evil and will stop at nothing to kill her.
I’m embarrassed to admit I’m obsessed with the Twilight series. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I’m a 38-year-old married mother of three and that Stephanie’s books were written for the under-18 set, of which I am not officially a part. Or that I’ve been able to get nothing done around the house with my nose jammed in a Twilight series book for the past month. Or that I’m planning a night out with a host of girlfriends to see the Twilight movie premier on November 21st, while wearing a t-shirt that says “Bite Me”.
What in God’s name has gotten into me? Apparently, the same thing that’s gotten into the rest of the worldwide female population I suppose…young and (ahem) old alike.
I hear the millions of visitors to Entertainment Tonight Online, upon seeing the Twilight movie teaser broadcast, subsequently crashed the popular entertainment show’s website due to an influx of online traffic in the hours following the broadcast.
Everywhere you look and listen – on TV, on the radio, in print and on the Internet, it’s all about Twilight. Up until a few days ago, the movie’s promo people were busy running full-blown, full-page Twilight ads front and center on the home page of MySpace.
In just three short weeks since posting Twilight Layouts to SpaceGravy.com (http://www.SpaceGravy.com) a social networking design website, they’ve become the most popularly-downloaded designs the company has offered in its three-year history.
Many of my friends, who are also in the over-30-married-with-children crowd, have read every book, are heading to the movie premier on the 21st and have fantasized on more than one occasion about falling “unconditionally and irrevocably in love” with Edward.
So what gives?
Is Twilight so popular because it’s all about angst-ridden forbidden love? God knows how enticing angst-ridden forbidden love can be.
Are women just generally obsessed with a dark and profoundly romantic love story?
Is Edward’s appeal so appealing we can’t get seem to get enough?
Do we secretly wish to be damsels in distress, waiting for our knight in shining hemoglobin to swoop in and rescue us?
Have we used our fantasies about Bella and Edward (Edward in particular) to escape our otherwise uneventful lives?
Does Edward’s love for nondescript, run-of-the-mill Bella make other nondescript, run-of-the-mill ladies believe there’s a remote chance someone like Edward could fall in love with them too?
Or is the seemingly unattainable love between Bella and Edward so magnetic, we can’t seem to tear our page-turning selves away from what happens next?
Who knows?
All I know is that I love Edward the Vampire. And in my warped little desperate housewife mind, he loves me too.

The Top 18 Actresses in Bollywood
The Top 18 Actresses in Bollywood
Since everyone does a top ten, top twenty or even a top twenty five list, I thought I would be a little different and do the top 18 actresses in Bollywood so far this year.
Bollywood has exploded since 2000, with films like Ghajini (2008), Dhoom 2 (2006) and Om Shanti Om (2007) being not only Indian hits, but international hits as well.

Dear Google, Please Add “user Annoyance” to Your Algorithm
As a website owner, I’m completely confused about Google’s algorithm. I think I speak for thousands of website owners when I say this. Why do annoying websites rank high in search engine results and shouldn’t they be penalized if they have a high UA (or as I like to call it, a high User Annoyance Score)?

Picking Out The Perfect Look This Prom Season

]]>
Prom night is always a coming of age event for a teenager; it heralds the end of the high school and the beginning of a college life with greater independence. Lots of preparation goes into getting ready for prom, with the excitement starting weeks or even months before the actual event. First off there is the all important decision of how to go with, a dream date or just a night of dancing with your friends. Next in line would be the perennial question of what to wear.
This season’s hottest prom looks are gorgeous stream lined gowns and dresses that are girly yet fuss free. The scorching popularity of the Twilight books and movies have left many a girl wanting the simple yet remarkably pretty dress that lead character, Bella, wears to the prom. Low cut, figure hugging gowns are a definite no- no this season and also utterly inappropriate for both the occasion and the age of the wearer. This season must have gowns exude a simple sophisticated beauty, with the hottest colors being solids like black, deep purple and dark blue.
The simplicity of the must have dresses of the moment allow for jewelry and accessories to truly make the outfit. So we say go all out with dressing up that simple gown. Cubic zirconia jewelry is a great choice for prom night. It is a relatively inexpensive purchase that gives the same quality sheen and shimmer as the genuine article. You can opt for elaborately designed cubic zirconia rings or bracelets. These can be worn along with exquisite diamond like cubic zirconia earrings, in various designs from simple studs to chandelier earrings. The decadence of the jewelry will be a great accompaniment to the elegant dresses of the season.
So, when you are out shopping for prom night, look out for some great cz jewelry that will best flatter your dress of choice on the special night. Once all the shopping and dolling up is finished and done, remember to go out there and have a whole lot of fun, make it a night to remember.

Deluxe. Several times I was moved, elated, bouncing and feeling so happy being right here, right now.
In the last month I read all four Twilight books and I was so blown away by how it made me feel.
I’m sitting here thinking. Where have I been? What have I been doing? What have I been waiting for?
When was I going to start appreciating art, beauty and artistry again? After I achieved what? What does achieving have to do with appreciation?
I remember being a teenager and I was moved, touched, inspired, sparked, enraged and validated by song, art, film and theater. I would get enraptured by sporting events rooting for the underdog!!
Where did that go? I’ve been so busy creating a life that someday I can enjoy, I’ve completely ignored my natural appreciation. Why has my hunt for success, fortune and fame been so all consuming?
Today I just got present to how The Drunk Monkey has owned me for the last 20 years as I chased the elusive destination called success. Now I’m here and I can’t believe I wasted so much time on it.
I didn’t need to live in a multi-million dollar house, burn through luxury cars or have 20 pairs of pimp shoes. I could have been appreciating, digging, grooving, dancing, singing, cheering on the under dog, and moved to tears the entire time. No stuff is required to feel and experience.
As I wipe the tears from my eyes, I realize that I’m happy that I went for the elusive prize for you.
I’m grateful that my heartache can be a marker, a beacon for you. So I can share with you my journey and tell you its not worth obsessing over the destination called success. No matter how much I achieve I still haven’t proved to the elusive “them” that I’m good enough or a part of the group or worthwhile or even of value.
The rules I was taught don’t apply. The promises that I was sold on didn’t get fulfilled. So I am going out on my own and making up my own rules.
Live now! Appreciate now! Listen to more music, roll on the ground with your kids, forgive your parents, smell the roses, stare at sunsets.
I know it sounds like sappy self help bulls*** but no matter how much stuff you have it doesn’t change your ability to appreciate. And achieving success will not change your experience and appreciation.
I dare you to stop and appreciate everything you come across today and see what happens.

It’s clear that you are being the cause of your life because you are reading this blog about self improvement. The only question is, “Are aware of what you are causing?”

Making Wise Decisions- Without Procrastination
It is never easy to know which decisions are wise and which are no. It is on our journey that we learn to try to know better which path we should take so that we can perfect those decisions which have casued us more than we needed.

Cognitive Blind Spots and New Year’s Resolutions
Each year, many of us make New Year’s Resolutions but we can fall short of our goal. Often we give up before our brains have a chance to fire and rewire. Meaningful and resilient change is challenging but not impossible. Coaches, teachers, and mentors can be the missing factor that can help you push through the very human tendency to default to familiar patterns, even when a better you lies just below the horizon.

How Do You Love the Work That You Do?
How do you love the work that you do? So often the work that you are doing doesn’t feel like it is necessarily your life’s purpose. And yet, you were drawn to this work. If you’re interested in finding work that is your life purpose, and you don’t feel like you are there yet, there is a way to get there. You need to actually begin to accept, appreciate, and honor the work that you do.

I got an e-mail in from one of my clients asking this question, “How do I let go of the destructive need to please others over myself?” She says some examples of this. She says, “When I was in high school, I secured a part in the play, and then my friends got kicked out of the play. And so I walked out with them. In going to college, I wanted to go to Stanford. My dad didn’t know Stanford. He wanted me to go to MIT. So I chose MIT just to please my father.

Hurt Knee Syndrome – Benefits of Spirituality on Health
I completed my first marathon back in 1999 and I remember calling my mom and saying to her, “Oh my gosh! I completed my first marathon! It’s such a victory! It’s so amazing!” And she’s like, “It is! It’s huge! It’s so amazing, congratulations!” And I said, “Yes, especially since my knee has been hurt ever since I was a young kid.” And she’s like, “Really? Your knee was hurt? How was your knee hurt?” And I’m like, “Mom, my knee, remember?

God Helps Those Who Help Themselves – Spiritual Life Coaching
God helps those who help themselves. You ever heard that before?
I notice with some of my clients are visioning, visualizing, writing out their goals and affirmations, but they’re not taking any action. They aren’t getting the results that they want.

How to Combat Stress – Stress Management Tips
There are physical ways to combat stress. There’s exercise, diet, meditation, things like that. 100 percent, yes. Do all that. But I’m not going to focus on those. The most effective way to combat stress is just to realize that stress is an illegitimate response to danger that doesn’t even exist in your life.

Why Your Last Coach Couldn’t Coach You and How to Make Sure the Next Coach Can
In life coaching, your coach simply wants the best for you. But your mind is not designed for change. Your mind is designed to keep things the same. Your mind is designed to keep things going in a similar direction, because your mind is designed to keep you safe.

Why Your Mind is Not Your Friend – Life Coaching Programs
As a life coach, my job is to help you remove barriers to happiness and success. One big barrier is your mind. I often ask my new clients, “Have you ever considered that your mind is not your friend?” Most are stunned by the idea of it. Your mind, which I call The Drunk Monkey, is just a biological mechanism designed to keep you alive longer. Your mind’s job is to help you to avoid danger or become better.

Let me tell you something. There is an elusive “them”. To everyone in this world who has ever felt stomped on by “reality”. And there are plenty of people who feel like they got a raw deal. Let me tell you this. There are one million reasons why they do and no alternative other than success to overcome it. There are plenty of regular working people who feel like they have been stepped on too and they work a 9 to 5. Respectable ! But no its not good enough anymore because of the elusive “them” who exist no matter what you “say” will always be better or have more money I don’t care what kind of things you say because yes it matters a hell of a lot to every one cept you because you are all ready rich. Why do you think Obama won the presidency. Because people are pissed off. They want change and they don’t want to stop and see a sunset because for them its looking like a pretty crappy rest of their life. They need change they need to get the hell in college and they need to be successful because the elusive them just keeps shoving their crap down their throats. The haves the have nots. don’t think that you would want to give your 20 years up and not be what you are today. You wouldn’t be happy for one freggin second. If you think you would be able to reach this zen point in your own life without the pain and struggle you are lying. Bull SH You wouldn’t have sustained happiness without having the resources you have now. How can you be a life coach???. I am asking you a serious question. This is my honest response to the article. I don’t hate you.
