As a small indication of my severe lack of maturity, I'll talk about pirates and how awesome it is to be one. I spent some time telling people about International Talk Like a Pirate Day (September 19th). This is an excellent holiday, even though I haven't even heard of it until yesterday, as pirates are cool and I'm one of the most fearsome. Pirates are cool because they steal from the rich and...well they keep it for themselves actually and either spend it all on alcohol or bury it in some obscure location. Since I'm the type that doesn't drink on a regular basis (i.e. never) the alternative is to bury it all - in a big treasure chest and have a map that looks like it was drawn by a 2 year old. My friend Martin seems to think I'm delusional as well as being very immature for a 19 year old soon to be 20, but he's just a fairy so what would he know?
I also came across Day of the Ninja (December 5th) which also sounds good. Both professions tend to involve being devious, brandishing sharp things and having an abundance of fearitude (an amalgam of being fearsome and having attitude). Except that ninjas move around stealthily, which brings back memories of the videogame Tenchu where much of your time was spent moping around in dark places taking the opportunity to sneak up behind someone and kill them. The most stealthy ninja like thing I ever did though was to steal freshly baked muffins from the kitchen. Mwahah, I am the Muffin King. However dressing like a ninja is probably not a good idea in this political climate, as having a piece of black cloth wrapped around your face looks altogether too similar to those guys in the Middle East who all seem to drive a Toyota Hilux, demonstrated on Top Gear as being near indestructible.
Yes it's Friday, the day before Saturday (my powers of observation are astounding) and Saturday is when the newest episode of Doctor Who is on. There's something very intriguing and exciting about the Doctor and his adventures through time and space and I have high expectations for his new companion Martha Jones. There was something I didn't like about Rose apart from her lack of brain cells (her huge mouth).
