Geekiness!

So, something about me that you may not know is that I'm a fairly geeky person - I'm not so good with superheroes like Batman or Spiderman or anything like that, but I'm quite geeky in other ways. I like anime (although I really don't watch very much of it) like Dragonball Z, which was my favourite cartoon when I was younger! I also liked Tenchi Muyo, even though they stopped making it after a stupidly tiny amount of episodes.
Anyway, I've recently started watching Big Bang Theory with my boyfriend, and I really would love to have friends like that! Anyway, I watched an episode last night that had me in fits of giggles, and I wanted to share the moment that made me laugh so much:
The Lord of the Rings movies are one of the main things I'm quite geeky about - I must have seen them all at least 6 times, and I regularly quote from them and draw parallels with other things, so this clip really made me laugh!
I can also be quite geeky with games, although mostly Sims games. Another episode of Big Bang Theory mentioned Simcity, which prompted me and my boyfriend to load it up and play it for ages! We made two towns: Lauropolis and Jamopolis, and annoyingly I'm nearly bankrupt while Jamie's town is doing brilliantly. Oh well!
I'll stop boring you about my geekiness now, and wrap up this post by telling you how excited I am, because I'm going to see my sister (and best friend in the world!) tomorrow! I can't wait, because it means that we can geek out and play the new SSX game and Lego Harry Potter together for 3 days, Heaven!

    I wish I could say you will out grow your geeky ways, I haven't and I'll be the big 60 next year. Take heart geeky at some point turns to quirky, then eccentric which is really still geeky. Embrace it!

    Love Big Bang Theory (Sheldon is my favourite. That guy just cracks me up every time) and, of course, Lord of the Rings is awesome. How can one resist a combination of the two? Great post!

WEP August - Change of Heart

Image
So I actually wrote this piece for April's WEP, but I was ill so didn't get to post it in the end. I'm quite glad, as it suits this month's theme so much more. Change of Heart ‘Are you ready for this?’ Paul asked. Brian nodded, trying to steady his shaking hands. ‘You’re the only one who can defeat him,’ Molly said. ‘We believe in you.’ She stepped back to join Paul. Brian balled his fists as he looked at the huge stone doors before him. He took a deep breath and pushed them open. Before the doors closed, Brian glimpsed Paul and Molly turn and begin to walk away. It took a moment for his eyes to adjust to the darkness inside. With a whispered word he created light in the palm of his hand, raising it so it would light up the room. It was empty apart from another doorway, much smaller than the first, hidden away in the corner. Brian marched through it and found himself in a large chamber, lit by many flickering candles mounted along the walls. Someone stoo...

The Insecure Writer's Support Group was created by Alex J. Cavanaugh as a place where writers can talk about their insecurities once a month, and receive encouragement and support from other writers. It's such an amazing group, it even has its own website now, which you can visit here . This week I'm a co-host! Be sure to go to Alex's page and visit the other people who are co-hosting.  I had such great plans for my writing this month, but not one of them came through. There were three short stories I wanted to get written, and I also wanted to get back to my NaNo edits, but none of that happened. I still have a little time for one of the short stories, though; it's for Kyra Lennon's cat anthology , and it's due Friday! Not much time to do it, but I made a commitment and I will follow through with it!  Even though I haven't got much writing done in the last month (or the couple before that!) I'm not going to let it get me down. I...

A is for Arachne and Arlee!

Before I get to my Greek Mythology part of this post, at the request of Alex J. Cavanaugh  (great idea by the way, Alex!), I'd first like to thank Arlee Bird for coming up with the challenge in the first place. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't be taking part in this amazing experience every year. Thanks, Arlee! This is one of my favourite tales from Greek mythology, so naturally I chose it for my first letter. Arachne was the daughter of a shepherd, and was famous for the beautiful tapestries she weaved. Nymphs would travel from all over to see her work, and to watch her weave. One day, a nymph asked her if her talent was a gift from the goddess Athena. Arachne protested, saying her skill was all her own, and that her weaving was better than Athena's. Athena heard of this, and challenged the girl to a weaving contest. Both sat at their looms and began to weave, nymphs gathering round to watch. Athena weaved a tapestry based on the glories of the gods, showing the...
