Happy New Year + Octopus

Happy New Year! To celebrate and apologize for my lack of posting. I give you this!

I hope I’m not the only one that thinks this is freaking awesome….

26.

I’m 26.

OMFG.

I swore I would never use that sort of abbrevation. But I also swore I’d never be 26. So this seems mildly appropiate. In old school I’m-23-and-not-rounding-up-to-30-style, I’ve completed another one of my lists containing 26 glorious facts you may or may not know about me. If you’re looking for 49 of those thought provoking and intriguing facts - you can refer to this post for the other 23.

  • 1. I’m incredibly loyal.
  • 2. I’ve started making jewelry - simple pieces - but this time next year I expect to be sodering my own pieces and already have the sodering kit picked out.
  • 3. I’ve been put to sleep 4 times in my life for surgeries. Each of those times I don’t remember counting below 7.
  • 4. People Magazine named one of sites as the best television series website in 2005 - Hurricane Katrina claimed my story as victim with an entire issue devoted to her own destruction.
  • 5. I like guys who can be assholes as long as they aren’t assholes to me and they also know how to be hopeless romantics. A difficult combination to find.
  • 6. Jenny is my bestest friend in the world - and I met her at a camp I was bribed into attending.
  • 7. I have to shower every morning.
  • 8. I believe in the existence of the supernatural.
  • 9. If I wasn’t able to design, I would feel completely suffocated.
  • 10. I fully intend on facing my fears of falling and smashing into the ground within the next year - by jumping out of plane… attached to someone who completely knows what they’re doing.
  • 11. I kick ass at Settlers, Boggle, Monopoly… at Halo 1.
  • 12. I’m at my happiest while staring up the stars on a clear night miles and miles away from civilization.
  • 13. I’m at my 2nd happiest while coding, listening to techno music, and sipping a little whiskey in coke.
  • 14. I met the 6th man to walk on the moon and had dinner with him.
  • 15. I have horrible short term memory.
  • 16. My favorite place on earth is the desert.
  • 17. I love the packaging design of the swag I get more than the actual swag.
  • 18. If I’m shy and reserved around you - you don’t know me at all. If I’m partially shy and reserved - you probably know me even less.
  • 19. Josh Holloway is the most beautiful man on earth in my humble and completely accurate opinion.
  • 20. I have countless theories about the meaning of: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42.
  • 21. I’m a fan of capitalism.
  • 22. I cook a mean fried zucchinni.
  • 23. I love my family immensely.
  • 24. I hate yellow… and gold things… unless it’s first place metals. Those I like.
  • 25. I have horrible short term memory.
  • 26. I watch far too much television - but I completely love it and see it as an exciting form of escapism - to live a life completely different than my own for a short period of time - I love the combination of art and storytelling.

So, yes. 26 years today. Just as I’ve always done - I’ll wake up at the time of my birth. Quiet not to awake those around me as a weird feeling overcomes me. The realization that I’ve reached an age that at 14 I thought would never come. For years I used to play an audio card that my grandfather gave me that played “Happy Birthday”. But since my relocation of residences a couple times over - the card is lost - and all that plays in its place is a memory of all those special October 8th’s before.

So in summarization - thank you to all of you - family and friends alike that have been there for me and just been amazing. I love you guys!!!! :-)

This is a lightning storm in Cali – Salvation mountain to be exact. Lucasberg used his Canon 5D MKII to capture the storm and it’s just amazing…

me and misha collins… kind of.

I keep finding videos from Comic Con that I’m in. Sometimes it’s just my elbow - like when Jimmy Fallon was interviewing my man - Josh Holloway. But here - you can see me waiting patiently on Misha to finish up and come chat with me. You can also see a not so patient Nic looking bored out of his mind and peering out of the curtain looking for a chance to escape. Ah. Memories. :-)
