Celebrate "International Talk Like a Pirate Day"!
Here is my pirate name :3
My pirate name is:
Bloody Ethel Kidd
Every pirate lives for something different. For some, it's the open sea. For others (the masochists), it's the food. For you, it's definitely the fighting. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!

July 24
Wow. Well. Hmm. What to talk about? Say? First things first. Hellos internets. I say hello.
I’m feeling odd. It’s a Friday. I’m ready for the weekend. Not that I didn’t have a great weekend last weekend, cause well I did. It was flippin’ Otakon. Pictures will be posted later in this post, when I get around to finally uploading them. My lappy-top is being a biotch … so yeah. I met great people at Otakon as I did the year before. Some people from Gaiaonline. Some people just randomly. Ran into a friend, and even found out some people from my high-school were there afterwards. Who’s the Geek now? Hrm???? Also, met some great web-comic people like Rosscott. I demand you go look at his website nao!
Also, the trip itself was great. A lot of joking. The closet was found. And tons for crying in the bathroom. And where was the damn caravan? And flippin’ bajesus, what is up with the speeding? But honestly this Otakon was great. Lots of people (over 25,000), lots of great things to be found in the dealer’s room, and finally found the Artist’s alley. I gots myself a new bag, some shirts, and pins. Also, I picked up Princess Princess at a great price, still looking for Kamikaze Girls though… Panels were awesome sauce! I went to one called Anime and Manga Studies, it was about how Anime and Manga can and is being used in higher education, though cultural studies and literature, and then delved into the difficulties of people accepting it as such. Also the Bandai industrial panel was good, minus the fact that I found out Code Geass (pronounced like “geese” not “gee-ass”) was pushed back to August –mumble mumble mumble – Fangirls are funny. And people’s little twists on relationships are even funnier (Axel and Roxas, etc.)
Moving on. Guess what! Graduated. Guess I can take “College-going” off on my profile. Still part-time, but I am looking for a Full-time job. So if anyone has any suggestions or ideas give me a shout! Please? Well I don’t have much more to talk about, so I want to link up some of my favorite webcomic strips as of late:
Kinda how I feel at work sometimes.
Kinda how I feel at work sometimes.
I would definitely watch the game more if this was so.
Three is good for now. All three of these comics are great and entertaining. I recommend them.

By the way…I have not gotten too far with my list, but I did read Nightschool by Svetlana Chmakova (same author of Dramacon). Great book. Read it if you like graphic novels.

February 16
Valentine's Day passed. And again. I was alone, in relationship sense, but I wasn't alone because I worked that whole day, and I spent the night playing pool with friends.
Its getting so close. So close that its almost scary to think about. And what more, is that there is so much I need to do that I haven’t done yet. I still need to write this letter that gives me a mini panic attack when I think about it. I need to put in an application to participate in commencement, yes, there is an application. I need to do the exit exam, which, I should not be scared about; and yet, for some reason I am. I blame it on the fact that is a required test and those just scare me anyways. That’s that.
I am still looking for that job. Job searching is frickin’ hard in this environment. Though a friend of mine told me about this site, which has a lot of jobs that I am qualified for but they are all over the world. Here’s the kicker: do I really want to move, even though I have been dying to get out of this state for forever-and-a-day?
Other than school and work, I am still managing to keep my social life in check. Lots of going out with a few friends here and there, recently I saw Coraline, which was a really cool movie. Especially in 3D. Very much for kids, but damn creepy if I was a kid. I also saw Friday the 13th, which was crap. My friend put it correctly, Whore-ror. Lots of laughs, nudity, screaming, stupid decisions, and blood. Must have blood. Then I also so Confessions of a Shop-a-holic, and I do have to complain! Hollywood, stop butchering books. Please!
For the next few weeks, I will be concentrating on work and school. Spring Break starts on the 9th of March, and I took the whole week off. I said “No work.” And no work there shall be. I am going to D.C. with my friend for a few days, so I will be having fun there, doing a few things I haven’t been able to do in a long while, like the zoo, the white house, or even the Holocaust museum, which I have been wishing to do since I am in driving distance…if you consider three to four hours driving distance.
I am trying to get back to reading though. Going to continue with the Shopaholic series, I still need to read the two newest books by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes. I also want to reread The Host by Meyer, and I need to read Crank, Glass, Identical, and the other book by Hopkins.
Oh, that stupid little “25 things” on facebook… I broke down and did it. Here it is:
Posted from my facebook:
Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.
(To do this, go to "notes" under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click publish.)
1. I am a well rounded geek.
2. My last novel I actually read was a near a year ago, and I miss sitting down with a great book; I have been reading graphic novels.
3. I loathed country music in high school; now, I can’t get enough of it.
4. My favorite stores: Barnes and Nobles and Best Buy.
5. Nothing is better than a night hanging with friends, venting and watching anime, movies or playing video games.
6. I am honestly afraid of getting into a relationship.
7. I will be graduating in May with my Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies and hopefully have a Full time job by then.

17. I will not eat yams/sweet potatoes, coleslaw, or cranberry jam because they are nasty.
18. Musicals are the best.
19. My favorite video games are rpgs. I still need to finish Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of a New World….
20. My work is important to me, but when I put in a lot of effort into my work and it ends up being a waste, I feel a little bit of myself crack each time.
21. My favorite shows are: Ghost Hunters, Scrubs, and Psych. I will drop everything to watch these shows.
22. I am a role-player, and I get lost in the stories I write with others.

February 3
Its been a weird few time for me. Mostly, today, while I was driving home from lunch, I realized something. I realized that presently, well for the past couple of months, I have been beyond happy. I finally feel like I fit in. Okay, sure, that sounds so high school-ish. Yet, I have felt out of place, even in high school, in the beginnings of college and what not. I like where I am at, I like the group I hang out with and I am enjoying my situation I am in right now (for the most part.)
Now, well it’s a new year (a month into the new year) and I know that this year will bring about a lot of changes. I am going to move out soon. I am going to be graduating. I am going to be getting a new job, or more so a full time job (HOPEFULLY). This year will be interesting, but in the end, I am looking forward to it and I just simply cannot wait!
That’s really all I have to say for right now. Hope everyone is having a great year!

December 02
HOMG! Look. An update. I don’t know how many times I have opened this thing up to update and then I just say, “Frick it.” And then say close, ‘no I don’t want to save’ and then step away. Now, the question may be….why, why do such a thing? Well, I have to say, since August, it has just been utterly exhausting. School has been keeping me quite busy, and then work is doing the same, and then the whole real world is demanding that I actually do real world things…. Its quite depressing sometimes.
Well, to start off, I have to let out a little bit of steam about people. Now, not people in general, but about a month ago, I was still having a little trouble understanding why people must talk behind my back. It’s a matter of honesty and trust, and when people are two face to me it just irks me to hell off. (I really don’t care if that last phrase didn’t make a lick of sense to anyone, but it does to me.) Yet, as of late, it has cooled down a bit, for which I am thankful for. It really gives me one last thing that I need to worry about. Yet with that, my anger gets transferred to another individual. This one does not live anywhere near my location, thank god, but still, he finds a way to inch into my life and bug the crap out of me.
Anyways, out of his geniusity (one of my made up words) he decides to start to hack my e-mails. Why? Well supposedly I hacked something of his. Question: Out of the past two years of being broken up, and my consistent attempts to avoid this man, why in bob’s name would I like to hack something of his? I swear, this man is so effed up in his head that he seriously needs to see someone about it. Worst off, he did this while he was working, as he installs cable/internet/etc at his client’s houses. Yes. He’s a friggin’ genius.
Well, after a few days of dealing with that mess, which by the way, this was my birthday week. Not only was I dealing with midterms, and looking for a fulltime job, but I had that crap to deal with. Oh and election week. Anyways, I got that done with, then my birthday day, I’m all stoked, ready for the weekend, because it was Nekocon weekend. WHEEEEEE Nekocon! Yet…I am leaving my class and on my way home to get a call from my mom and she says, the place I interviewed for a few weeks ago called. I knew…I KNEW I should not have gotten my hopes up, but I did. Why? It was my birthday. I had the right. Well, yeah, I didn’t get the job. Had a total breakdown in the car in the middle of downtown. Was not a pretty sight.
But the weekend made it better. Was kind of sick for some of it, but I still had a flipping great time. And I won two of the art auctions. Wore my cosplay. And the group decided that we would all go to Otakon in July. We already have our hotel rooms. Yes. We are prepared this time because the hotels are walking distance. Yay us.
But let’s progress through what I have been doing. And that has been a lot of school and a lot of work. Still looking for a full time job, sadly the city department has placed a halt in hiring once more, which is quite frustrating. I applied (yes, you have to apply) for graduation in May. And almost decided to move out in the end of December/early January. That was put to a stop though because I still need to make sure I get health insurance. Yes, I got car insurance, and oh, I own my car. Yay me.
I only have a few more days of the actual semester, and then finals, which is basically two exams and two lesson plans that I need to complete. Then three more classes next semester and I will be done. God, so ready to be done with school.
Oh, and this morning my friends, Susan and Joy, called me up and told me of this fantastic book sale at the university down the road from me. Manga for seventy-five cents. Yes. 75 cents. So I have 25 books coming my way for a grand total of $18.75. So excited.
On my plate:
