Day 1: Introduction
Today, I will be officially introducing myself. My name is Michelle, I am 22, and I recently got a haircut I really like:
...in a picture I really don't like lol...smile much?
I am a graduate of Louisiana State University (GEAUX TIGERS) in Music Education. I just got my first full-time teaching job as of August 1st, and I am so pumped I can't even describe it. I have also just started a community choir in my area. That is also super exciting. Within the first day of advertising, I've gotten 22 people signed up.
I am a Jack of all Nerds (or a Nerd of all Trades, whichever you prefer) in that I am into numerous nerd-tacular things though I have mastered none of them. Some of my favourite nerdy topics are:
Video Games
Books (especially fantasy)
Role-Playing Games (Holla back for the Serenity RPG!)
Sci-fi shows and movies
Campy martial arts movies (this is a sort of recent development, though I have always admired Bruce Lee)
Comics & Manga
Anime
Superheroes (Hal Jordan & Wally West. They can just take me.)
Drawing
Music (because I like nerdy music like Wizard Rock and I am a music nerd. I could rant about Beethoven all day)
DIYing
Magic the Gathering
Pokemans!
And other things I can't recall offhand right now.
As you can imagine, being such a fan of so many things kind of spreads me thin when it comes to devoting myself to just a few of these things. That's one reason something like blogging is so hard for me to do: I just keep changing my focus!
I will count that as my first Interesting Fact. Here are the rest:
2. I have fixed a harmonica with my teeth.
3. Lady Gaga both inspires and repulses me. She inspires me because I like outrageous costumes. She repulses me because she relies too much on them. That woman can SING, but I don't think she uses her full range of ability.
4. I have the 50th Anniversary Batman board game. It is an okay game, and is better for novelty's sake than quality gameplay, but I'm excited I have it anyway because Batman is AWESOME.
5. I have knitted a sweater like Hal Jordan's Green Lantern costume, but have yet to sew on the actual Green Lantern logo, so many people don't know what it is.
6. I have designed sweaters for other superheroes as well. Nerdy knitters UNITE.
7. I never ever ever paint my nails or toenails, but my new roommate might persuade me to try it.
8. I really love Art Nouveau prints and posters.
9. I love posters! I have over 70 posters. And this is from not actively collecting them! I mean, just buying one or two a year, and getting a LOT as presents.
10. I have been known to dress as a Pirate spontaneously, with no apparent purpose (the true purpose being that it's just time to dress as a gorram Pirate).
11. Halloween is my favourite holiday, followed by Christmas. Halloween because, like I mentioned before, I love costumes. Christmas because people are generally nicer around Christmas-time, and I like to give people presents.
12. Speaking of presents, I feel hideously awkward opening presents in front of people who don't have presents, so I've started to do White Elephant gift exchanges at my birthday parties ($5 spending limit so everyone can participate). This way, everyone gets something, and there's no horribly awkward opening all my swag in front of people without any.
13. My birthday is in October, so I also try to have costume parties because it's close enough to Halloween that it still counts.
14. I have been fingerprinted at least three times.
15. I have never broken a bone or gotten caught breaking a law (and the only laws I've broken are typically traffic laws and the non-speeding ones are accidental. What can I say - women can't drive.**)
See you tomorrow!
