Free to Be Me

...even if I am a nerd.

My last post "Ladders to the Heart" was going to be part of today's posting, but there was no way I could follow that up with anything else I wanted to say. And so, with my new found freedom, I posted it instantly and unscheduled. Lovely, lovely.

SO MUCH FREEDOM IS IN THESE WORDS.

There is a freedom in words, and when you find what words can do, what they can create, then you will find that freedom too.

All this rhyming business is completely unintentional. I am just that awesome.

Speaking of awesome, I have updated my library of books to contain three of John Green's bestselling works: Looking for Alaska, Paper Towns, and The Fault in Our Stars. My friend Adam got me to start writing constantly. Dan Brown (pogobat) inspired me to create a blog (albeit, a different form of blogging than his own). My interest in Dan Brown led me to other YouTube users such as Craig Benzine (wheezywaiter), and John and Hank Green (vlogbrothers). Most importantly the "vlogbrothers." I say all of this to come full circle with why I now own three of John Green's books. Both he and his brother are AWESOME personalities and because of this, I have taken interest in his books. I went to Barnes and Noble today to buy Looking for Alaska, but came out with two others plus Karen Traviss's Star Wars novel, Imperial Commando: 501st.

Karen Traviss is an amazingly talented authoress of science fiction. She has written multiple Star Wars novels, Gears of War novels (as well as performing as the writing lead on the video game Gears of War 3), and has two books of a Halo trilogy published. From what I have read, she has a nack for taking previously static characters and fleshing them out beautifully. She has earned her way to being one of my top-fave authors. Not that being in my fave-five means anything.

If you will notice, I have created a chain here as I move onto the next topic: Halo 4. Oh yes. I am a nerd. I'm gonna geek out. I'm gonna be the little girl on Christmas that actually did get a pony. Not only  was it a pony, it was a unicorn. Oh yeah. I'm that excited. I'm all about story. Somehow the original creators (Bungie Studios) managed to create a video game that performed excellently and told a great story. And the story only gets better and better. I'm also very curious, so once I am sucked into a story, I have to keep going until I know all. I am a story addict. It's a tough life I lead.

I'm going to go play Assassin's Creed 3 until Halo releases. PEACE.

P.S.: I suppose you could say I was happy while watching Quantum of Solace and smoking fags with mi padre. Can't really think of anything else, but I'm enjoying myself just fine. (11/4/12)
