It was bound to happen. I've been fighting a serious case of writers block! ARGH!
So, you get a blog post about the nothingness that is going on inside my head. Once upon a time, there was a geek, and she didn't know what to write about. So, she opened her laptop (so beautifully covered in poppies) and set out to write the most epic blog post in history. Little did she know that her serious case of ADD would soon catch up to her........OOH SQUIRREL!
Wait, where was I? Oh right, so I was watching Jurassic Park tonight, and forgot how much that movie freaked me out when I saw it for the first time in theaters. I've always had an overactive imagination, so for weeks afterwards, I would wake up to the midnight creeks of our house panic stricken and swearing that Raptors were sneaking their way up my staircase to hunt me down. Oh, and speaking of being freaked out in bed. When I was in the 3rd grade, I was scared to death of Slimer from Ghostbusters. I had a dream that he was haunting my room and woke one night to a glowing light above my bedroom door. I assume now, in hindsight, that it was the glow of the porch light shining through my window, but when you're 9, it's really hard to think anything but scary ectoplasmic nightmares come to life.
Now, I no longer have to sleep with the light on in my room. However, in recent years I saw the movie The Ring, and yes.....while most people think it's ridiculous, that one got under my skin too. I think it was the camera angles, jolted animation movement, and that creepy ass little girl. I had nightmares for about 6 weeks.
So, yeah. Overactive imagination. Speaking of overactive imaginations, I can't stop thinking about Boston Comicon. I'm putting the finishing touches on my Anck su namun costume, and Lara Croft is ready to kick some ass. This time next week, I'll be living in geek paradise. I can't complain. Life is grand. Except for this damn writers block. Who the hell gets writers block when they constantly have silliness going on inside their brain?
In other news, work is quite interesting. I'm building a security request system for our company. It's pretty fun. Have you played with Sharepoint 2010 yet? It's awesome. I've become somewhat of an expert in that arena. Give me a platform to be creative with, and I love my job. Make me talk to retarded people who don't know how to copy and paste a single word into a field (Ctrl + C) and I want to donkey punch someone. But, I'm cordial, and polite, and always smiling on the phone.
Ever wonder what Help Desk's talk about when they hang up the phone with you? Odds are, if you asked something stupid like "Why isn't my password working" when you've simply forgotten to use capital letters, you're being made fun of. Seriously, go watch The IT Crowd. It'll teach you some things.
"Have you tried turning it off and on again?"
The amount of times I say that daily is astonishing. I swear I shout it in my dreams sometimes. Perhaps that's why I have nightmares. I need more computer literate counterparts.
Oh, and here's my new wallpaper on my computer, because I know you were dying to know!
And a couple of public service announcements:
EAT YOUR VEGETABLES!!!!
I NOW KNOW WHY EMO KIDS ARE SO SAD...
Anywho.......off to create a spiderweb of ideas as to what to write about. Hope you've enjoyed my momentary ramblings.
Cheers,
