Narcoleptic Squirrel

Blogalicious

Hh-okay, so here is my blog. Chillin'
"Dang, that is a sweet blog," you might say...

I couldn't help myself...I will post a link latah so you all know WTF I'm talkin' 'bout.

Some of you may know me already, and if so, you won't really care about what I have to say next. Some of you may not know me, and maybe you will care, maybe you won't, but I'm gonna post it anyway.

First of all, I am amanda, but you can call me Raven. That is what I call myself, and you just might find out why if you keep reading this here blogaliciousness. I was not a geek until I met GSeven However, he opened my eyes to the supreme being we call the computer. It started small, checking my e-mail here and there...then I started surfing the web...then I subscribed to list serves, websites, even message boards. I tried to tell myself I could quit anytime. But, I can't. I got started on the Wedding Channel Message boards. I was planning a wedding, so it made sense. I started a journal. I met some of the people who visited my journal. It all seemed so normal, until, I was married. No wedding to plan, and yet, there I still was. A year after the wedding, there I still was. Eventually, I began to think myself sick somehow, and I quit. Cold Turkey. then the cravings came back. How I longed to post my ramblings. Show off pictures of the cats. Tell about the exctement of my life. Hence, here I am.

On to my current FAQ's

Why etherea? To me it signifies the magic that is all around us. The belief that amazing things can happen. That somewhere out there are faeries and gnomes. It stems from ethereal...but it is what I call the noun version, since it's not a real word.
Why dot org? Because someone out there owns the domain etherea.com. There is nothing there. If you type it into your browser, you get one of those sites offering to sell it to you. But, you can't buy it. Am I annoyed...why yes. If you are going to pay for a domain, either get your keister in gear, and put together a site, or let someone else have it. If I ever get my hands on that elusive dot com, you my faithful readers, will be the first to know.
Why Narcoleptic Squirrel? Because, that was my first website idea. One fine evening, as we were leaving our home, we saw a squirell lying on our patio. The squirrel had reached a state of eternal slumber. I said he must be a narcoleptic, and affectionately called him "Narcky." I wanted to set a webcam up to film him, and that would be the content of narcolepticsquirrel.com. I was told that no one would want to watch a "sleeping" squirrel. So, this here blog is currently in homage to Narcky, who is resting in the soil beneath the neighbors hedge. Rest in Peace, Narcky

I am a Twenty-something gen-xer. As I mentioned, I am married to GSeven , we have three boys, they are 10, 4, and 3. their names are (respectively) Wishbone, Crush, and Ziggie, and they are cats. We have no children, and while we love children (not in a pedophile sort of way), we don't want any right now. So, while other people talk about the cute things their kids do. I talk about how cute my cats are. Yes, I am a crazy cat lady. I am an actor, and eventually etherea dot org will be mainly my acting site (in addition to my blog site), and possibly a place to share my accesory designs. I am trying to figure out what I want to do to pay the bills that will allow me to focus on making Acting my career. Right now I am a barista at an independent coffee house (no selling my soul here). It is all right, but making the perfect latte does not use any of my creative skills. And while I like my manager, and many of the customers, and my co-workers (all two of them), I need something else.

So, there's a little about li'l ole me. If you stick around, you'll get to hear the juicy stuff...and there will be lots of juice, trust me....
