Season VII

[aggienaut]

   HOLY CRAP! It's June 1st! Totally snuck up on me! Do you know what that means??

   It means... Season SEVEN of an ancient tradition known as "30 in 30" wherein brave and foolhardy bloggers make a solemn vow to post an entry every day for all thirty days of June. Not just any crap ass entry, but something genuinely worth reading!! Something of interest to people who don't know you or give a rats ass about you personally.
   Yep, that means all those whistful stories about your ex are right out. You actually are going to have to think of something original and insightful or at least hilarious to write about. Extra points for multimedia.

   Now, being as these days I'm lucky to get half an entry out in two weeks my attempting to participate is pretty much a hopeless cause.. nevertheless I am never daunted!!! However, for my own entries I really can't promise anything other than a vague attempt to have SOMETHING up in a day, if that. So do as I say not as I do! Because any entries I DO get up will most likely be total crap! :D


   In wildly unrelated news starting tomorrow and continuing for the next few days we are chartered by a film crew. Normally we object strenuously to any implication we might be pirates ... for the next few days WE WILL BE PIRATES! IN FILM! We don't know much about it yet but they're trying to get an authentic pirate thing going on. They've asked us not to shave this past week ... yet to wash all our period clothes the night before?!
   We're already short handed, but word is the girls won't be able to participate in the sailing (since I guess real pirate crews weren't fifty percent female!) ... AND then they said that of course people who need to wear glasses can't be wearing glasses on screen so... we might be down to non-glasses-wearing males for the shoot.
   AND I'm told they've brought cutlasses and black powder small arms for us to play with?!
   Anyway, it sounds interesting, and as you may have gathered from the above they've not using actors other than us, so it's possible you might see me as a pirate COMING TO SCREENS NEAR YOU!!

Real pirate crews were most definitely not allowed to be 50% female. It was incredibly bad luck to have women on board ship. And pigs if you were Hull based. So if you wanted to sabotage a Hull crew, all you had to do was put a female pig on board and that would be the voyage sunk before it had begun.

That pirate thing sounds AWESOME.

Ah, yes, the pirate who blogged everyday! A venerable tradition!

What! Why can't they just get the ladies some breast binders, spirit gum, and fake whiskers?

Sweet, sweet fun :D But... there were female pirates in Pirates of the Caribbean :(

Incredible picture!

And you're going to be a PIRATE -- yayyy!!!!

I love firing black powder weapons.
However, I am not only female, but I need my glasses. Especially if I am firing a weapon.
On the other hand, I can probably manage to look male without too much trouble.

Oooh that's awesome about the film!!! I can't wait to hear about that!

Yep, that means all those whistful stories about your ex are right out.

Most ship's did have pigs on them though, and a very traditional sailor tattoo is to have a pig and rooster on one's feet -- because the pigs and roosters usually survived shipwrecks so having tattoos of them was thought to help one own's chances!

Yeah they ended up just dressing like boys.

It's never too late to jump in and play catch up! my first season I began ON THE SIXTEENTH! :D (the deadline is always still 30 entries by the 30th)

Like I said, it's specific to Hull for some reason.
