WoW, RNC, DNC, and Mermaids




Helloooooooooo :] It is now finally September! Yes! Fall is a coming and the weather better get cooler here in Houston cause it is still, melting. Hot. Humid. Blah. How have you been interwebs? Good I hope. I have been pretty good too!! It's all rainy here :/ and stormy. And the power kept going on and off so my wifi network was going crazy. And so were the other million computers in here.
Oh! So I have been trying to pay attention to the election this year, learning who has what to offer. I can actually vote this year and I think it is pretty important, so there is a chance we will only be a little screwed. Watching interviews and coverage at the RNC (republican national convention), watching Youtuber Philip Defranco and SourceFed doing live shows from the RNC and interviewing people. It's pretty great what they are doing. And god, I have learned that I hate almost all Republicans. So far, that all seem like assholes. Conservative, bible chucking assholes. And i'm sure there are people out there who are like, no!..no! I am a republican and i'm NICE. Well. I have not met you. Or seen you. Some of the things these guys say just wow me. Even the women standing by their side. It is crazy. Know what happened at the RNC that I pretty much saw no News coverage about outside the internet? WELL. A CNN camera woman was at the RNC doing her job, being a camera woman, and, she was African american. So, what do two republicans do? (not sure if they were delegates or not) They throw peanuts at her, while shouting "this is how we feed animals!!!". WOW. wtf. Really?? And I seriously have heard nothing beyond the internet about this. Messed up. The DNC(democratic national convention) is coming up soon and i'm pretty excited to hear some more speeches and find out more about the candidates. More coverage, more interviews!

 Oh and DragonCon is happening right now and it's not cool that i'm not there :'[ one day, I will be!! And my costume and Nics costume will be coordinated as hell!!!


Also, Nic got me this the other week :D!!!!
Ariel the little mermaid pop doll!!!!!! She is so cute and I love her and It is awesome and now i want them all!!! They have whole series. This is series 3. They have StarWars ones!! I need them in my life, ya know? Just do. Simple as that! So thank you boyfriend :] haha. They also have the Ursula one to go with Ariel and i kind of want that too. She looks pretty wicked.

So I have been watching some videos from this youtuber I found and she is hilarious, great videos, different channels and her gamer videos are pretty awesome as well! I think my favorite video i've watched on her gamer channel is the WoW pop culture references #4. So ya know, WoW is World of Warcraft, a  massively multi-player online role-playing game (MMORPG) game. Very addictive. Seriously, addictive. And i'm pretty sure my laptop wont support the game, I desperately need a new one and a desktop. But, i'd probably be addicted if I had a personal desktop with a kick ass video card. ANYWAY!! here is the video, watch it! it's pretty funny whether you play WoW or not :D you'll get it!
She is called Random Panser!
EDIT: So youtube wont let mee post the right video, not sure why, BUT the WoW pop culture ref is HERE :D


Ok thats all today :]
Oh and enjoy your Labor Day Weekend!!! BBQ, Beer and fun!
I'll be mindlessly looking up Doctor Who things this weekend because, ITS BACK TONIGHT!!

Interviews, Music and Tea, oh my




Well i'm winding down the day with come sleepy time tea, king of the hill and some sweet bloggin'. Oh yes. Today I had an interview with a certain jewelry store and i'm thinking it went totally great! I was actually a little nervous since I know nothing about the jewelry industry, I don't really buy jewelry my self, all of it is handed down to me by my mom and grandma and so on. Most of my experience is writing related or food industry related. I was a bit worried. But the guy i interviewed with was very cool. They are totally willing to train. When he started, he said " I do want a qualified person, but i don't want to just hire a robot to work, we want to hire a real person, someone who can create relationships with our customers, and so far, you seem like just that person". I actually said "ha, cool!" -_-" I think he knows i'm some kind of cheery geek. He asked questions about previous jobs, why I left, why i want to work here now. And I really do. I want to get into the jewelry industry! so i'm hoping this goes well! His manager in training came out to talk to me about the "business aspect" of the interview, and she asked me to sell her *this pen. So I did my and and she was like yus! that's good you really did a great job! :D haha. It was sort of fun. Over all they said i'll probably get a call soon-and interview with the regional manager soon :] I have a great feeling about this!I think I would do a fantastic job there :D


Also I (well Nic) got a cd from a band he performed with in Austin, they are called The Lennings, and they are pretty awesome! I'm about to load up the songs cause after this post Nic is going to want this back haha :] But for sure go check em out. Now i'm waiting on The Blackwells to finally make a cd before I die of impatience.

FYI secondlovers will be playing tomorrow night at Fitz open mic night, so come on out if ya want, i may or may not be there but yeah :] it'll be fun!

Daria, Katara, Ramona Flowers and why they are awesome

So I'm already mauling over costume ideas for this October :) planning early so maybe I'll end up with a home made costume :)
Now, even thinking about doing Andy of these as coustumes gets me all giddy! I swear, I'd freak put in happiness!
One idea is Katara! From One of my favorite cartoons Avatar the Last Airbender! Katara is a water bender helping the avatar to leant and defeat the evil fire lord Ozai :) great show. She is awesome, talented and the glue of the group. I want her character costume from book 3, when they are hiding in the fire nation :)




Another idea is Ramona Flowers! From the graphic novel Scott Pilgrim vs the World!! She is Scott's eventual love interest, takes shortcuts through sub space, and always had odd colored hair. She is a badass. Now there are a few character costume ideas for her, but the hair and steam punk goggles are what I'd need, I think she is pure epixness.





And the classic uber awesome Daria (nananaanana) haha. I use to watch this when I was little and loved her, she was dripping with sarcasm and every episode always had me laughing. And she made me feel better about being a girl with glasses :) this character costume would be simple but I'd have to buy every thing for it, the costly part would probably be the boots but, it would be badass!








I can't completely choose right now
It's too difficult haha I love them all
