Oh My.

Well, Blogspot, long time no see!

It appears that, recently, I crossed the point of three years without posting anything.  If anyone was worried...I'm so, so sorry.  I doubt anyone was, really, but still.  My disappearance was not completely intentional.

Honestly, I started this blog when I was in the middle of a little thing called a Quarter-life Crisis.  It was not a fun time by any means and I really needed an escape, so I took to writing about nerdy things semi-anonymously on a blog I didn't tell anyone about.  Maybe that's why I stopped writing so much in 2012:  I got a job.

I was a NEET until then.  Almost hikkikomori, but I did leave the house to do things like shop and go to conventions.  I pretty much dropped contact with all of the friends I'd had in high school, and we still don't really talk.  It's disappointing more than sad.  I always said I wouldn't be one of those people who grew apart from their high school friends, but look at me now, haha.

But now I've had a job I really love for what's going on three years with a fantastic work family and an even better cosplay family.  Really, I don't know where I'd be without them.


I don't know if I'll start writing again.  I don't know if I'll actually reveal exactly who I am, although it's probably as subtle as a brick wall by now.  But I liked being here quite a bit.  I still love my ship manifesto and actually consider it one of the best things I've ever written.

I don't know what will happen to Nerd Locket from now on.  But thank you for coming by, anyway.

Short Post (yes, another one)

Okay, I don't know if I'll be able to get used to this new interface.  Whoah.

No, seriously, this is weird.

Anyway, back to what I was originally going to post about.

I got a tumblr!  I'm not completely sure what I'll talk about there but hey, might as well.  So if you want to, go follow me!  Maybe this'll be easier to get into discussions with.  Blogspot's comment system is kind of terrible for it, I think.

This is a waste of a post for how long I've been gone

Oh well.

So if you've been on tumblr lately, you've probably noticed all those fandom roulette posts.  They're pretty fun, actually!  I just don't want to spam my blog with them.

Anyway, there was a Homestuck-related one, and this was my first result:

you are a Kawaii Blogger of Rage
in the land of Bishounen and Drama
your specibus is Fandomkind
your consorts are Rabid Fangirls

...Accurate.

I'd have reblogged it, but I don't have a tumblr for Nerd Locket yet.  Just a personal and some fuckyeahs, and I'd still like for my identity to be somewhat secret.  It's not that I'm scared of the backlash, I would just censor myself a lot more, and I think I do that enough everywhere else.

Hopefully I'll have something of substance to post soon!  If not...whoops.  I really didn't think this blogging thing through very much.

On Radio Edits

Recently I've been thinking about them.  I blame the radio station I listen to suddenly censoring "Rockstar" by Nickelback  (I'm not a fan of Nickelback, really, or this song; it's just the one that stands out most) a lot more.

Example:  they now censor "ass" in this song (but not others?) and "drug/s".

And I just have to ask myself, do they know that censoring those words makes it sound so much more vulgar than it actually is?  It's only natural to stick the worst word you can think of in where the censored one is because why else would they feel the need to censor it, right?

I also find it hilarious (sarcasm, obviously) that they bleep all references to drugs (except 'pop my pills from a Pez dispenser' ?!) but leave in something that could possibly trigger anorexia ('we'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat').


In conclusion:

Radio, what are you even doing?


And just for fun, here are the lyrics to the version that now plays on the radio.  I'd like to note that it's a lot more jarring to listen to than read.

I'm Derpy: News at 11

I seem to have disappeared for a while!  It happens.  I just don't have a lot to post about these days, I guess.

Even though there are a lot of draft posts saved.

Oops.  Why can't I words??


That's what I get for being prone to Fleeting Passionate Hobbies.  For a while, I'm just all HEY LET'S BE A BLOGGER IT'LL BE FUN and then after a couple of months I just forget about it completely and disappear off the face of the Earth.  Seriously, the only reason I'm posting anything right now is because I keep getting mail from Google with certificates for $100 worth of advertising for my blog because I'm part of AdSense and haven't even made a nickel.  (Which, really, is pretty funny.  Joining AdSense was mostly a whim.)

Why would I advertise my blog in the first place? All I ever do is talk about fandom things!  I'm not educational (not much, anyway) or all that relevant unless you like a certain pairing.  And I'm pretty sure other Firebirds would find this on their own.

Oh, whatever.  Time to go back to my nostalgia bomb by watching Mighty Morphin Power Rangers on Netflix and being excited about the revamp of Thundercats later this month.


(But really, thanks for taking the time to come here and read my word vomit.  I really do appreciate it, as jaded as I may sound at the moment. ♥)
