Isn't that cool? I'm actually not dead. I have not been captured by the imperial navy, killed by fellow buccaneers, or beheaded by angry sea demons! And by my way of thinking, any day where those three things do not happen is a very good day indeed.
Unfortunately, there isn't a lot to report on in the last few months. Just busy trying to make money to pay for the next year of school, so I can be done with it and get on with my life's rue adventures and all that.
There was quite a storm today, actually, made sailing quite treacherous. it continues to rage on outside my cabin window, but I'm anchored in a cave on one of my safe house islands, so the ship is safe from the storm. Earlier in the day, I made a voyage to pick up my first mate, the lovely Ms. Carpenter, only to find myself caught in the thick of it!!! All the ships around me in the harbor were taking on water, and if I hadn't slowed down, I know I would have too. However, old Stalwart was able to muscle through it, despite it's rickety condition, and the voyage was successful.
The past few months have been very laid back, however, and I expect similar fortunes to continue for the immediate future.
H.M.S. Stalwart
Welcome aboard, mate! This is my ship, The H.M.S. Stalwart, and I am it's Captain! This is my new official logbook, chronicling my adventures as I go where no man has ever gone before!!!

Captains Log: Why cannot drunk people simply stay in places they will not be bothersome?
Ahoy Mates!!!
So, I'm here to dispense a bit of a rumor. Specifically, that all pirates are always drunk. Unfortunately, it's really just not practical in this day and age. Steering my ship requires my utmost attention, so I really just don't get much time to get wasted like a certain jack sparrow might lead you to believe that I do.
So, I am actually unaccustomed to the idea that people would do things like get drunk in public, be assholes to everyone they meet, and then leap in front of my ship.
I wish I was kidding. I wanted to split the wench in half with the ships bow so badly. Jumping in front of a car? And then doing jumping jacks, just to add annoyance? What?
People like that make me feel quite justified in my chosen profession.

Captains Log: SURVIVED!
Ahoy Mates! I did it!!! I survived the week, and managed to make it all the way to my birthday ALIVE. And in one piece. Attacks by teachers, students, the Navy, and even a giant centipede cannot take me down! It's good to be alive, and able to look towards the next horizon in my sights!

Captains Log: Procrastination is a wonderful horrible terrible thing...
Ahoy, mates! So, it turns out procrastination is NOT always a giant parasite in your guts, eating away at your strength and weighing you down so a predator can devour you. It CAN force productivity! See, for a long time now, I've been meaning to transfer my logbook to this wretched hive of scum and villainy called the internet, but I procrastinated... UNTIL NOW IT'S FINALS WEEK AT SCHOOL! YAY!!! With over a billion essays to write, starting my adventure posts in blog form suddenly did not seem all that painful to do...
SO AYE! Yep, I have 4 tests next week, 4 essays due, and a 3 min 30 sec presentation to put together... Oh, I cannot wait for summer! I'll actually have enough time tin the day to, oh, ACTUALLY ADVENTURE, and post the silly escapades here. In the meantime, I need to pass all these classes so I do not catch hell from my father. He's an chief admiral of the Imperial Navy, and I fear he may notice my adventurer's aspirations if I do not keep all my grades up. So yeah... this post is getting REALLY drawn out, because I REALLY, don't have a lot of study motivation, but I am rapidly running out of things to say, so I guess it's back to getting all this studying stuff... assuming none of my teachers at school attempt to hang me for treason against the crown, hopefully I'll be back later with happier tales to tell.
