Almost Famous? Haha, no. But still.

Recently (and by recently I mean two days ago), I got back into the habit of looking at my youtube account. There were so many comments I didn't know where to start reading. Something else there were lot of: views! My highest viewed video has almost 20,000 views! Granted, it was added three years ago, but a girl's allowed to be excited, right?

Some of my best work, however, is in the 6,000 views range and I couldn't be happier. For not being a celebrity, not making parodies, and not being the very best video editor (or as we called ourselves a few years ago, "vidder") I feel accomplished. And with almost 10,000 channel views and over 200 subscribers, while not the best I feel I've earned my place.

Do What You Want With Me But Let The Girl Go: Why Starkiller is a Whiny Bitch


SPOILER ALERT: THIS ARTICLE WILL CONTAIN PLOT SPOILERS TO THE FORCE UNLEASHED AND (what little plot there is of) THE FORCE UNLEASHED 2. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

The Star Wars universe is a vast one. Six movies, well over 50 video games, and copious amounts of comics and novels. Some are canon, some are not. The most recent addition to this ever-expanding franchise is “The Force Unleashed” video game series. This planned trilogy fits itself into the time between Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith, and Episode 4: A New Hope.

Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are!

When people look at me I know the first thought they have is "she's a lesbian". I'm not hiding anything. I dress like a man, walk like a man, behaving primarily like a man, but I'm a woman. The way I act and dress may suggest otherwise, but I am a woman and I'm proud to be one.

From a very young age I knew something was different about me. You've all heard the story before. Almost every gay or lesbian person starts off their story like this and usually the continuation is never very different. I had always had those "primal urges" toward women. I'd want to be around them and be close to them whenever possible. Looking back I don't know how I didn't know I was gay earlier. Pam, my best friend at the time, and I...we'd take showers together. Of course I was only 7 and she was 10, so we didn't find anything sexual about it. I'd touched a girl's breasts once on a dare, which started very conflicting thoughts in my head. Long story short, the process started young.
