The First Doodle from my Noodle

That one time I doodled @room334 as BB-8... It's a pretty metal drawing. I know. #atmywhitsend#doodlesfrommynoodle #bestfriend#destinedtobewithalottakatz #starwars #bb8#fashion #highwaistedskirt 

And the Oskar goes to Whitney for her role in "Procrastination: A very delayed post"

Forgive me, friends for I have fallen off the schedule. I have had quite an eventful two weeks since my last post and finally have time to tell you all about it.. So let's get started, shall we?

Three weeks ago, I sat in a bright doctor's office waiting for my annual check up,  engaged in a discussion via text with my boyfriend about the Oscar nominees. (We surprising have very similar taste in film. I use the word "surprising" because I honestly didn't think I would meet a human that shared my taste and critical opinions of film until I met Cam, it is one of the many things that attracted me to this man.)

*****WARNING: THE MAJORITY OF THIS POST WILL BE A SAPPY LOVE FEST THAT YOU MAY WANT TO RECONSIDER READING OR AT LEAST GRAB A "DOGGY BAG" BECAUSE YOU WILL PROBABLY NEED TO VOMIT FROM THE EXCESSIVE SAP****

Cam is a very talented musician and the most likable man in the Ska music scene, or any scene really.... Again, I sappily digress. It was then that Cam jokingly said that we should plan an award show for the Orange County Ska community with completely ridiculous awards and a red carpet and name it "The Skacademy Awards" or "The Oskars". I thought it was a hilarious idea and knew that with his brilliant mind and my experience in event coordinating, we could definitely pull it off.

We immediately rolled up our sleeves and started contacting everyone we could think of to make the event happen. Within a week, Cam had most of the bands in the local area excited, social media praise coming from every direction, we had sponsors providing support, and articles about the event in bigger local publications. To be completely honest, I have never been more proud of anyone in my entire life. He worked tirelessly while making it seem effortless. He attended to every possible detail and more while still working full time and having band practice nearly every night. It was incredible. To say it was like watching Superman spinning the entire world backwards and never breaking a sweat would be putting it lightly.

Everyday there seemed to be a new form of support over social media and through the local community.

As I mentioned, I am pretty confident in my event coordinating skills so Cam and I agreed that my skills would be most useful on the day of so, I prepared everything that we would need on the day of.

I would love to give you a extensive description of how I flawlessly put everything together on the day of but instead I will give you a visual aid of what actually happened:

8:00: Wake up & pack up car and tell Cam that everything will be fine and I got this as I send him off to work.
8:10: Go over check list 87,000 times in the shower.
9:00: Panic attack while making envelopes for winners in Starbucks.
10:00: Argue with lady in JoAnn's fabric about discounted fabric then realize that I picked up the wrong one...
11:00: Get to venue and move child's birthday party from my area so I can work efficiently. (Sorry Tommy. Happy 5th birthday btw)
11:30: Get a beer.
12:00: Battle the sun as it melts the duct tape I used to decorate and my hopes and dreams.
12:30 Order balloons
12:30-4:30: Productive Blur filled with Anxiety.
4:30-5: Frantically get ready as my mom graciously watched the stuff at the venue for me. Thanks mom! You da best!!!
5:00-7:30: Panic fest and calming as Cam arrived.
7:30-3:30am- The best event that I've ever been to or had the honor of planning and coordinating.

Everything was perfect. The decorations, the massive amount of people, the bands who played flawlessly, the light saber battle. (yes. light saber battle)



As we got home to finally reunite as we had both running around all night, we talked the success that we had just shared, as we discussed what had happened we realized that a dream that we had talked about passively in the past was actually a possibility with the success of the Oskars. We have decided to start a production team that plans local fun music events with local businesses to raise money for local charities and I could not be more excited or inspired to do anything in my entire life and we already have hit the ground running and many exciting opportunities that will begin in April!!

It's a new journey that I can't wait to begin and I made sure to bring my hankerchief so there 's no going back now..
 *self high five for obscure Hobbit reference*

There are a lot of exciting storms a'brewin' my friends... so stay tuned.

Hello from Paradise Island where the streams never cross...

Hello... eh.. Is this thing on?

We're going to get really real here for a second (see what I did there? ha!) I have no idea what I'm doing... In many respects actually... Whether it be blogging, dancing, being an adult, or solving an equation related to astrophysics. Do you even solve equations in astrophysics? I don't know. I'm bad at math and most sciences. Anyway, I digress..


Being 25 in today's society is exciting and terrifying. I spend half my time stressing about making the right decisions relating to financial stability and career paths while still struggling to keep my childlike disposition and and idealistic point of view. This is probably why I chose to become a preschool teacher temporarily until I reach that point of achieving my ultimate career goals and lifestyles. Don't misinterpret, my use of "temporarily;"my job is incredibly rewarding and exactly what I need right now. I spend my days helping my kiddos develop and grow and experience their self discoveries that somewhat relate to my own. They struggle to gain this power and independence that at the age of 25, I struggle to gain at a much larger scale. What I'm really trying to say is, I am in fact a large toddler with a super hero complex trying to gain my independence.

I use the term "super hero complex" lightly as to express my interest in comic books and pop culture in a fun way. I am, of course, not referring to the psychological disorder. I do not seek recognition through creating desperate situations that only I can solve. I don't have time to become a vigilante, and let's be completely honest, I am super clumsy and would either forget that I strapped someone to railroad tracks or trip and kill everyone accidentally.... again.. I digress. I find the comic book and pop culture world to be incredibly interesting and fun. I love to immerse myself in the culture and world. As seen in my fashion choices, I love to cosplay. However, with my lifestyle, it is way too time consuming. Instead, I will settle with being a mediocre cosplayer with an extremely geeky wardrobe that incorporates my favorite pieces of pop culture. While I would love to become a super successful cosplayer who knows everything about everything in geek culture, I am definitely happy with being mediocre with my costumes and filling my time with watching the shows, movies and reading the books to gain that knowledge to have discussions and share my opinions with the fine people reading this. And by that I mean, hi mom.  

With my dirty laundry freshly hung out online (on the line, I made an attempt to make a joke....feel free to attempt to laugh at the relation at any time) I decided to start a blog to share my experiences of being a quarter of a century old nerd who is trying to figure it out. Life. I wanted to start a blog to share my experiences for those out there who feel the way that I do, struggle with mid-twentisms (a term that I am coining whether I am the first to use it our not) to share my puntastic doodles that I think are funny and think you might share as well, and mostly my opinions and experiences of geeky pop culture. So, come on. Vámonos. Autobots roll out, No power in the verse can stop me. Avengers assemble. [insert any other geeky reference relating to "let's do this" here] Again, I digress....

One more thing... Hope you all enjoy Feminist rants... 

Also enjoy the pictures from my first geek photo shoot that I have scattered throughout the post because I don't know where else to put them yet... Happy Blogging Friends!
