My Way…..

Now that I have this blog going again, I figured it’s best if we catch up with each other. I’ll start with some of the things I like now that I didn’t before.

Wow, I just realized how long this post is going to be…

Okay. Up in the less important, most important new things to know about me is that I learned how to draw. And when I say that, I mean, with a drawing tablet. On a computer. Like that picture. And that picture. And the other picture. Basically, I really like it. It’s been quite fun, and I think I am personally relatively good at it.

And, this next picture takes us nicely to the next topic. I’ve started to really enjoy something called “steampunk”. It’s actually quite interesting, and it is more than just one thing. It’s basically an idea, that has spread from books to jewelry to music to costumes to conventions… it’s rather insane, actually, listening to how it spread. I prefer to take part in the music/book/costume world, but I know my sister makes some very nice steampunk jewelry.

Steampunk is basically Victorean era, with the steam-powered engines and the clockwork robots, re imagined, in a way that make’s their technology more advanced. It’s a nice genre, historical fiction, basically.

And, how nicely this brings us into our next topic, of Steam Powered Giraffe, the musical singing automatons! Steam Powered Giraffe is my favorite band, and they happen to be rather steampunk.  Since there is soooooooo much to share, I’ll leave a bit to you: http://www.steampoweredgiraffe.com/

The thing that really bums me out about Steam Powered Giraffe is that they will soon be coming VERY close to my hometown, which they will probably not do again any time soon, and I will be camping. Don’t get me wrong, I love camping, and I have missed it the years we couldn’t go, but as soon as we can go, there is something I want to do. Ah, well. Such as life. Perhaps I can get my mom to take me to San Diego some time :).

Well, that is about all I can think of right now. Thanks for reading, I’ll see you later!
