I was working on an apocalypse on my other computer (that went flooey) and did Law first. It was nice to be able to lift anything, in any order, after that.
I remember being so amazed at how useful your first lift was in Romancing the Apocalypse. I would never have considered Show Business first, but you really made that work well!
And I do love Spock. And I love that picture of him in the living room. And I'm glad that my Spock grew up looking somewhat like him (minus the ears, and complexion, of course).
Finding these stories about these amazing people is one of my favorite parts of this project. Although I won't be doing it again, with future projects, I'll certainly keep checking that website. I LOVE reading about all these cool people! Some of them are even good and kind, as well as amazingly badass. Some of them are scary. All of them are amazing.
For my Royal Kingdom, though, since I'll be doing a matriarchal monarchy, I fully intend to get my names for princesses from
RejectedPrincesses.com - a website devoted to "princesses" about whom Disney will never do a movie.
I really learned a lot doing this project, and have been sucked into studying history more, because of it. Currently, I'm reading "Washington's Spies," about the American intelligence network during the Revolutionary War. It's amazing how basic it was, to start, and watching it grow into something really effective is very intriguing.
History in school always bored me, because the teacher focused on dates and geography. But then I got a teacher who focused on the stories! IT WAS AWESOME! Because that's what history IS: Stories about real people doing real things that changed the world around them. Who cares what year it happened?
