Finally Free

Well, the cold is finally gone, and it's about time, because with my cold went Captain Hero. Thank goodness, because he would not stop beating me at chess, which meant I had to cheat, and from my past track record you can imagine how that went over for me...

Since that time, there have been a few battles, and it's time to finally admit that I need some support. Which is why I am recreating the Nevermores.

They were my first attempt to start an army. On a different site, of course. It didn't go over so well, because I was a total novice then. But now, I'm trying it again. Please, join! Promotions are sure (eventually)! I'll try and get the actual blog sign-ups today.

This was a pathetically short post.

Well, well....

This is enormous. This is huge.

I am a TYRANT. I am a VILLAIN.

I have just taken over an island.

In case you didn't read my last post, let me tell you to go and do that. Now.

I was picked. Out of several hundred applicants, I was picked to receive the possibility to gain control of an island.

The reason it's been quite a while since my last post is because I was busy taking over the island, raising taxes on all ninety-seven inhabitants, and generally causing my reign of terror to begin (I'm sure that SOMEONE was feeling some terror. I hope).

The name of the island is Wonderopolis the Colorful and Candy-filled, home of the sparkling rainbow ponies. I am going to change the name to something along the lines of Gothica. Yes, that has a nice ring...

Soon I will import some minions and henchmen and the like.

You may, perhaps, want an update on the members of my little entourage of one, and my other acquaintances (still only one).

Mathew is still around, acting obnoxious and blaring opera music.

Captain Hero is attempting to incite a rebellion on my little six-by-ten mile island, and so we still do battle on occasion.

In addition to these familiar figures, I would like to introduce a few more people; Pepper and Salt. Fraternal twins. Obviously their parents loathed them with a passion, at least as far as naming goes. Pepper is obviously in charge of these two. She's quite spunky, and enjoys bossing everyone but myself around. Salt is more subdued; he mostly does what Pepper tells him. They're both mercenaries, and work for me.

These changes are quite large, and I hope that the transition from free people to miserable slaves goes smoothly, for you, the inhabitants of Gothica.

I'd wish you luck, but if I don't, there's more for me.

The letter

You might have guessed that the letter I received a few days ago was a Valentine's Day Card or something equally ridiculous.

But no. Instead... it was an invitation. I have been invited to attend a meeting with the leaders of the Board of International Villains (motto: "We will steal your mottoes and slaughter your acronyms.") who will be selecting a villain member to take over rule of an island country that is in need of a tyrant. It's small and reasonably powerless, but this is huge. The ultimate scholarship, if you will.

I don't know if I'm eligible. I have no idea.

But it's a possibility.

January 4th- New Years

There have, as evident by my last post, been a few goings on on the last month. I figured I would cover pretty much everything happened so far.

First, I'd like to wish you all a Happy New Year. The world is supposed to end this year, apparently. I'm not holding my breath.

Second, a few personal updates. Captain Hero and me still constantly engage in nemesis battles. Nothing's changed there. What was that quote from Megamind (not that I actually WATCH animated kids movies except... okay fine, I kind of do. Sometimes. A little.), 'he would win some, I would almost win others.'

Thirdly, everyone's favorite opera loving intern is back, more nerdy than ever. Joy.

Fourthly, I stubbed my toe. Ow.

And that would be it. Still working on my next take-over-the-world level plan.
