Sillyness and all that

[OOC] Silly me, I posted this blog entry under 'drafts' and didn't realise that this and one other entry were languishing in the no-man's land for a week. Sorry!

Back from a refreshing break and I had a full inbox and to-do list to work through. Operation Pew Pew is going well, this is our own worm hole project led by The Hellcats Mynxee and The Bastards's very own Ard and z0de. It was a decision made through consensus as interests in New Eden ebbs and wanes like the tides. A little change up in pace and location is just the tonic for us pirates. With no real logistical problems yet encountered, we're set up and doing 'business'. Of course, not all pirates are involved. While the alliance is quite small, we have just enough to keep up normal pirate operations as well as running the POS and working in worm hole space too. We have a set of objectives and an exit plan and whichever one is achieved first will decide on the next step for our worm hole adventures.

I for one, am not as involved in the worm hole venture due to the need to have someone, hold the fort and to guide operations for those pirates who also, can not find the time to join our brothers and sisters.

The loot we have acquired since the last money split needs a lot of love and I have tasked myself with the job of working through the entire inventory. Not for the faint-of-heart I can tell you.

I received an interesting offer from someone that I have heard who has been challenging pilots (mainly bloggers) to a 'celebrity death match'. I checked my time table and decided that this would be fun but insisted on a typical 'Bastard' condition. It would be a cruiser hull with battleship-sized weapon(s). You had to fit at least one but I am asking myself how it would be possible to even mount the thing let alone fly it.

Anyway, his blog is here. I would be very interested in hearing comments on possible ship set-ups that I can use.

EON Awards Nominee!!

Flashfresh is an EON Awards Nominee! I am a bit shocked and humbled that I have been nominated in the EON Awards category of Writer of the Year!

I hope that my loyal readers (all of 2 or is that 3?) spend four minutes to cast their votes for your truly.


Additionally, I urge you to check out the other nominees; Mynxee and her blog 'Life in Low-Sec' is in it's own category.

Just been tagged

Like in a school play ground, sometimes you're wandering around, not quite noticing anything and then - boom, you're 'IT' and a bunch of snotty nosed kids run off, cackling and yelling to everyone that you now have the 'lurgy' and for everyone to avoid physical contact.

Anyway, amongst the bloggers out there - we sometimes tag each other for fun. Once tagged, one has post a few facts about themselves and then tag other bloggers in the hopes they'll do the same thing. All in an effort to find out things about me.

I have been tagged by Mynxee, she-devil pirate, friend, fellow blogger and fleet-mate.

Mynxee - you could have just asked me....

So here goes, I supply eight facts about Flashfresh, with a twist, one 'fact' is in fact, false. Can you guess which one?

So here goes. Did you know that I:

• Am trying to breed White Cloud Minnows?
  
• Was a part-time ex-male model?
• Have two Masters Degrees and planning on a third?
• Count myself as as pretty damn good cook (Chinese) ?
• Considered a career in the military but went to academia because their posters were more eye-catching?
  
• Run, not as often as I would like but I do cross country and half-marathons?
• Lived in Africa and South America before settling back in the UK?
• Have met the Queen of England? (she's a very small lady!)
  

The Rules:

1. Link to the original tagger(s), and list these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about myself in the post - some random, some weird. I added one more, a false fact to confuse. You don't have to!
   
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blogs and/or Twitter.

I now tag the following:

• Kane Rizzel
• Jedizah
• VB Sarge
• DJ Akula
• Khaled Urduni
• Lanissum
• Ka Jolo

There's so many more I want to tag but the rules state only seven. I have included a fair few of The Bastards crew but not all of them; DJ Akula hasn't blogged much; so I hope this tag will galvanise him to do so!

Kane Rizzel

Kane has a blog. It's a good one too - read it here.

For those of you who don't know - Kane is a pirate and a damn good one. Don't let that thin pointy Sebiestor face fool you. He'll kill you and your ship stone dead.

Known Kane for a while now along with Lucius Cain and Rakanas (now no longer with us). I think I introduced myself to Kane via a burst of 150mm AC fire. He then replied in kind.

I think he killed me.

Anyway - he's good and his blog will be excellent to.

Go to it. Often. And leave comments. Or threats. Or both.
