King Tut

I am totally into other cultures. I love to read and experience the diversity of people. I also believe that by understanding where someone else comes from, their behavior and decisions can be explained. I wished that instead of making judgements everyone would take a deeper look into some else before making claims. Thats just a little soap-box arguement of mine.

My favorite culture to study is Ancient Egypt. One of my Christmas gifts was a trip to the King Tut and the Golden Age of Pharaohs at the Atlanta Civic Center.

The exhibit had statues and paintings from walls. I was amazed how beautifully crafted the artwork was. I was also impressed with the condition in which most of the pieces were presented. There was a wooden chest that was thousands of years old!

There are 130 pieces of history complete with captions. I could imagine going back in time to actually see an artisan sculpting a statue or craving a sarcophagus by hand for a pharaoh. The sarcophagus is literally covered with carving of designs, names, and spells.

Overall, this is a great experience for anyone interested in history, especially Ancient Egypt. Ej was slightly disappointed because there is no mummy there. So, you have been warned.

Vulcan Fangirl

I'm really going to live up to my blog name now. I have totally submerged myself into Star Trek lately. I've been reading "Spock's World" by Diane Duane. This is a great book for a TOS fan and also great if you want to get to know more about Vulcan.

If you are not a fan, I'll break down a little Star Trek information. Vulcans have lots of psychic abilities such as being able to transfer thoughts, force minds to change, and can even kill with only there minds. When a Vulcan couple wants to get married, they also get mentally bonded to the other.

The bonded couple can hear each other's thoughts and sense their emotions. I believe this to be a beautiful concept. What if you could speak to the person you love by sending them a thought that only they could hear. You don't even have to be able to see the person, just think the though.

I think that is would be the sweetest thing ever! I feel this close to Ej. We have a lot of the same thoughts and ideas to the point where its a little scary. I can only image how wonderful it would be to speak to him without words and from anywhere.

I may be the only one who thinks this, because I am a fangirl, but secretly I yearn to have this relationship with Ej.

Live Long and Prosper.

Ej Made the Paper!

Ej happen to make it to the front page of the Griffin Daily News! Can you find him?

Merry Christmas from the Family

So you may not now that I come from a line of very anxious females. The females in my family tend to worry a lot about things beyond control or that are ridculous. I am currently attempting to avoid this fate with no avail.

The Holidays are always a great time for family. I truly deeply love my family. With that said, they can drive me crazy in ways I though were untouchable. My mom has asked me about a roll of tape that I haven't seen in a week. She continued to interrogate me about the location of the tape until I snicked on Ej. I knew he was using it last, and he swears it put it up. I'm sorry, baby, I love you.

In my family, not excluding the Y-chromosomes, can't make decisions. Everything from what food to what color plates becomes a trial. I know this is a fate that I already possess. Ask Elijah.

But I seriously love my family. Its just that maybe we should be all cooped up together for two weeks.

Update!

So I got the yucky illness. I have been sickly for about a week now. I have up and down moments, but as of today, I feel almost better. *almost*

I finished reading Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt. That was a wonderful book! After our (Ej and I) last trip to Tybee/Savannah, I have totally fallen head over heels for Savannah. This book only strengthen my love for the city. If I had the chance, I would totally move there. Wonderful!

I got the new enV2 phone. I was a little apprehensive at first, but I totally love it now. I've had a night to play with it, and I am very content. Five Stars *****

I also got my mom to upgrade to unlimited texting. It was only $3 more than what we were already paying. So, why not? Text me!

Christmas shopping is here again. I love giving gifts, I just hate that gifts cost money. I always feel like I don't know what to get someone or that I don't have the money to get them what they desire. *sigh*

I officially don't desire anything for Christmas. Well actually, I desire one thing. I am totally turning into an old person, but I want a little Dust Buster vacuum. You know the little one that you charge with an outlet and use for little messes? I hate HATE to get out the huge vacuum for a little mess. Yesterday I spilled nerds on the floor and refused to get the vacuum out for them. Ej ended up sweeping them onto a piece of paper. I love him.

This is just a little update blog. Its easier than writing a blog for each individual event.
