I am sad to report that there are absolutely no pictures of Icelandic elves on Google. They had done such a good job with ghost pictures that I thought I would give it a try yesterday... But alas, it was to no avail.
There is good news however. If you haven't noticed, I have changed my blog format. I like it a lot better, don't you? A thank you goes out to my 1 follower, who pointed me in the direction a very useful website. There are more changes to come, eventually, I promise.
So today has been another amazing do-nothing day. I have not flopped about on the Internet though. Nope. Today I reveled in my geeky-ness by going to one of my favorite sites and staying there almost all day, fanfiction.net . I know, I know. Here I was trying to pull off that I am thoroughly modern, Starbucks-ing, 9-5, girl, with some fashion sense (I hope) and I pull that little skeleton from my closet! Well listen, I will be the first to tell you that the majority of stuff on there is absolute and total crap, but not all of it. There is probably a 15% rate of really good stuff on there. AND. You know all those books that you have read and once you have gotten to the last page, and read the last sentence, you are consumed by overwhelming sadness that it is all over, none-more to be had?! Please tell me I am not the only one that this happens to... Okay, good. Anyway, this is like a whole website of chose you own adventure/ alternate ending, with all of your favorite characters, and if you feel so inclined you can add to it yourself.
I have yet to do that.
It is my firm belief that the second I do that, then I will be a complete and utter nerd. As it is right now, and am a mostly normal person with nerdish tendencies. Yes I am the person that will gladly listen to " Wait, Wait! Don't tell me! " before Rhianna or Carry Underwood, and yes, I am also the person that will watch NOVA over Paris Hilton's new BFF. But that doesn't make me a geek outright. Please don't get me wrong, I am not claiming to be "hip" by any stretch. I couldn't be even if I wanted; I have never seen and entire episode of The Hills/Laguna Beach, and I think that you need to know all the characters of that show to be officially "IN" now. So I am disqualified. But i have no qualms about that.
All I am saying is that I enjoy reading during my immense amount of down time at work. Also try it out before you completely judge me. You might find something fun on there. But just use your common sense, like I said, only about 15% of it is actually good.
