well my username for vox is different from all my other usernames because i like variety. but also because i like pirates. anne bonny is one of the few and best known female pirates. she was ruthless and fearless in battles and pretty much did what she wanted to do. back in the day it was believed that having a woman on board a ship at all was bad luck...anne bonny pretty much proved them all wrong and was a really good pirate on top of all that. as a child i aspired to be a pirate and i'm kind of sad that it isn't really a profession any more...so i aspire to be like anne bonny, not so much in the killing people way but more in the fearless and strong way.
my username for everything else is sharpieincluded. it comes from this strongbad email. you have to watch the whole thing to really get the joke. at the end of the "infomercial" for the Ab-Abber 2000 you see the box for the product. if you click on it it says "sharpie not included." well since my name is abigail, i had a good friend who thought it would be a great idea to call me the Ab-Abber. but since i am a much improved model i come with the sharpie. haha. get it?
my screenname is an even lamer internet story. so everyone assumes that HxC stands for hardcore. wellllll i go to virginia tech and our mascot is the hokie bird. and every good hokie knows that HxC really stands for HOKIEcore. haha. so now you all know how big of a nerd i am. i hope you're happy.
in other, not qotd news, i had a pretty good weekend. curtis came up to visit so there were lots of fun hangouts to be had. also i got a new camera! it's a sony cybershot and i got an amazing deal on it. unfortunately i don't have a way to get my pictures off the camera/memory stick and onto my computer yet so once i do i will definitely be posting several amazing photos in 7.2 megapixel glory!
but now it is time for paper writing and juice drinking.
