HEYYY! I know, I have been pretty lazy when it comes to doing updates, but it just feels weird to me to write a blog when I don't feel like I have anything interesting to say, you know?

So, I got worked over today! I have been working on a video series where I am a total badass! My name is Violet and I thought I was just an average college student until some creepy guys in blackout masks kidnap me. After lots of fighting and torture, I start to find out that I am actually a super-human weapon that all these bad people want to use for their nefarious purposes, but I end up kicking their butts in the end. (Think Sci-Fi's Dark Angel with Jessica Alba) So please, go check me out and let me know what you think! Video #1 is up! Violet B6-IX

I also have an interview on Tuesday with a local Grassroots organization that works a lot for social issues like fighting poverty and campaigning for Planned Parenthood. I am super excited and a bit nervous! I would REALLY like for them to hire me because I think working the system is the only way to change things. I know the Occupy movement is still going on, but I don't think it works! I mean, they don't have clear direction because they don't believe in "leadership" so it's basically a bunch of people who are unhappy with the way things are going, but don't do much more than marches and camping. I think that is you really want to make changes, you need to use politics! You need to get your issues out there to the people (like Occupy) but you also need to get them on ballots (unlike Occupy). Get your issues up for voting, get the people you want into Public Office and push your issues to Washington where you might actually get the chance to change policies that will live in past you! AWARENESS IS POINTLESS WITHOUT ACTION! (Which is another reason why that Kony thing was total bullshit)

I also had an interview last Friday for a program that I REALLY want to get in to! The program is to get certified in Veterinary Technology and I want it SOOO bad, but it's VERY competitive; they only admit 30 students a year and about 5x that will apply each year. Luckily, I have owned animals, including horses, my whole life and I also worked in a Veterinary Clinic for about a year when I lived in Southern California; the lead Veterinarian doing he interview even knew the Clinic I worked at, So, all my experience will help, a lot, but because it's the only program of its kind in the Pacific Northwest, there are a lot of people who already work as Technicians who will be applying that will have even more experience than me. I think it went really well though, the panel seemed to really like how I answered their questions and the Lead Vet. said that he loved my enthusiasm and thought we had a "great interview" so keep your fingers crossed for me! I should know by this time next month whether I made it or not, either way I will keep you posted.
