Prepare for Win

The paraphilias presentation went absolutely perfect. My partner and I managed to use the entire class period, which was over an hour, and people were fascinated. I don't think anyone left bored. I feel like it was an epic success. And so, to celebrate that epicness, I present...


Fifteen Examples of

2. Severely Photoshopped Emma Watson

3. Click the seal for gross amounts of WIN!

4. I don't condone smoking, but come on; that's awesome.

5. High-five a stuffed lynx!

6. Once Upon a Win: win from back in the day!

8. /v/ epic win!: Just in case you don't know, /v/ = video games.

"The most serious problem is always the one you didn't anticipate."

I'm feeling rather lazy tonight, so I will instead share with you one of my many papers. This one was written when I was a junior in high school.

“The most serious problem is always the one you didn't anticipate.” –Anonymous

I believe that no matter how diligently one plans ahead, there will always be some unanticipated problem. And of course, that singular snag will inevitably be the most troublesome of all, and could be the pitfall to the entire project. This attitude may make me appear a pessimist, but I beg to differ. Although I am, indeed, a pessimist, my conviction in this particular statement merely confirms me a realist. I have encountered many problems based on the aphorism above.
For example, imagine that you are running in a race. You huff along, almost to the finish line, when suddenly a lunatic jumps out of a bush and tackles you to the ground. More likely than not, you wouldn’t have predicted that this very odd event would occur, but it may well be the worst thing that could happen. Having a crazy person spring from a shrubbery and attack you would probably hurt your chances of finishing the race, and you may not even live through the experience. Thankfully, this has not happened to me, but as a paranoid, neurotic person, I have actually believed it could happen. Unfortunately, because I have already anticipated the appearances of odd characters on the racetrack, something even worse, and, of course, unanticipated, will ruin my chances of finishing a race.
However, despite what this particular adage implies, we can’t live our lives expecting the worst to happen. Because, as it also states, we can never truly anticipate what horrible disasters will occur.

Epic Fail: Civil War Reenactment Edition

Yesterday night, Spock and his family took me to a Civil War ball. They had taken me to a previous one in February, on Abraham Lincoln's birthday. We dressed up in period outfits, and Spock went as Honest Abe himself, after I sprayed his beard and hair with temporary dye. We found something important out at this dance, however. After a group dance, a bunch of ladies, flouncy skirts bouncing everywhere, came up to me and practically shoved me out the door. They asked my name, and told me what they were about to do was for my own good. They took me to a dark corner... and proceeded to inform me that I had been wearing my dress backwards. So, rather than viciously molesting me, which is what I had feared, they helped me flip my dress so that it faced the right way. It was scary, to say the least, but they were nice ladies, and they didn't attack me, so all was well.
Also, at the dance was a re-enacter who looked a great deal like Zachary Quinto, the total babe who plays Spock in the new Star Trek movie. Yes, my Spock and I have seen it; we went to the theater twice. I danced with the doppelganger a few times, but I didn't manage to get a clear picture of him. However, I had a blast, and I will put up some pictures. As soon as my blisters go away, maybe.

The "B" Word

I find that the word "boyfriend" is far too overused. Of course, the word "love" is as well, but the limitations of the English language only allow for so much. Boyfriend, however, is easily replaceable. I have a, um.... "B" word; he will be referred to in this blog as Spock, to preserve his anonymity. I have known him for the past five or six years-- I can't really recall when exactly we met, but that doesn't make him any less special to me. We have been friends for that entire time, and have considered each other best friends for at least three years. We are now dating. I don't know what to call him, at least not in English, because no word truly describes his importance to my life and well-being.

So, being a Trekker, I reached out further into the tongues of the galaxy and found the Vulcan word T'hy'la. Click here for an in-depth definition. in short, it means brother, friend, lover, and soulmate, all wrapped into one. And that is what my Spock is to me.
