~Mi Casa Es Sú Casa~

Translation - My house is your house. Or, more appropriately, my blog is your blog. Sit back, relax and have some chocolate.

Hello there, my name is Master Mina and I'm here to share myself with you, not rescue you, but to share some personal thoughts about myself to you. How can I not share myself with you when your blogs have been pure inspiration to me and to this community. I've been enjoying your bio blogs on this site for the past few weeks. I must say, I am in awe of you and your lovely blogs which have been touching, inspirational, sad, happy, funny and just gorram shiny and pretty. Here I am, joining the bandwagon again and doing the same with kindred spirits. What? Again? Yes, again, and here is my original bio blog to prove it. I wanted to do this again because of some life changing events that have lead me down a joyous path since I joined this site, in a galaxy far, far away....

First, let's get down to business about my blog title; Bootylicious Blogs from a Jedi Drama Queen. You are probably wondering how in nine Corellians hell did I came up with the blog name starting with "Bootylicious". I'm sure your first thought, after reading this title, would be that I'm arrogant. Let me set the record straight on this theory...I'm not arrogant, nor am I an elitist. As a matter of fact, I'm just a down-right-home-grown country girl that lives in California. I'm very easy going, love to joke, tease, play and play some more. Some folks just don't get my humor. But that is OK. I say to each his/her own. They can go their way and I'll go mine. All I want to do is to have fun and be silly. Nothing more, nothing less.

In reality, it's kind of like this; I had a bet with one of my girlfriend's to write a blog about Star Wars, intertwining the word "bootylicious". Being that I'm always up for a good challenge, I stepped up to the plate and delivered the blog which you see in the link before you. I added the "Drama Queen" because I am a "Drama Queen". My girlfriend and I joke about the blog's name and theme to this very day. The blog name was so funny to us that we decided to come up with several Star Wars name variations on it. In honor of her, here is the Bootylicious Naming Convention list in its finest glory. Please feel free to make additions in your comments, which I will proudly display in this blog later on today:

Bootylicious
Huttilicious
Yodalicious
Chewielicious
Anilicious

I'll have you know that these names are interchangeable for me and may or may not be used at my discretion, depending on my mood. Be thankful I'm in a Bootylicious, and not a Huttilicious, mood right now.

Have you been wondering what all those new shiny acronyms floating across your screen are all about? Let me uncover that mystery for you right here, right now. Listed below is the decoded meaning of those acronyms:

LILWL - Ladies in Lust (or Love) with Luke (It's all about Luke for me)
LILWA - Ladies in Lust (or Love) with Anakin (He's hubba-hubba...)
LILWH - Ladies in Lust (or Love) with Han (He's good too...)
LILWOW - Ladies in Lust (or Love) with Obi-Wan (And him too...)

What did you think this was going to be about? That it was going to be about the Da Vinci Code? Pleeeaaaaaaassssssee. I don't see any rocket science going on here, just pure admiration for the good guys or heroes of Star Wars. Nothing more, nothing less. Does it feel like a let down? It shouldn't, because no matter what gender you are, at one time or another, we all have adored, loved and even lusted for these heroes in some shape, form or fashion.

How do *I* explain myself to you? Not as easy as it sounds. Typical bio's can range from favorite foods, movies, likes, dislikes, education, work, descriptions of self and so on and so on and so on. I'm not sure if I want to take this route with you because I don't want to bore you. There's only one little secret about me that I will reveal to you, which has NEVER been revealed to anyone, not even my mother. My little Star Wars secret is that I've always had this crazy fantasy to be "Mrs. Skywalker", followed by lots of "Skywalker" children. However, I don't think this fantasy will ever happen, because it's not real and it is just a fantasy. For now, I'm content with my condo companion, Darth Furball (kitty). She likes to throw pillows on the floor from my bed and loves to snuggle with me at night. There is peace in my galaxy, with fluffy bunnies and Skywalker's dancing in my head.

I guess I could explain the whole story of how I got introduced into Star Wars by my mother, but that would be repeating myself and I don't like repeating myself when you can read the original blog which explains everything (see link above). In the end, all you need to know and understand about me is that I love Star Wars and its Maker in its purest form...Original without changes.

If you have been reading any of my blogs you will know that I work in the legal field. I like the legal field. It's challenging, mentally stimulating and the pay is real good. I'm known in the Outer Rim as the "Negotiator", similar to Obi-Wan. I am honored to share this title with such a great Jedi Master. Many times I have to walk the "thin red line" between war, peace and justice in my galaxy. I'm not out killing Sith Lords with lightsabers, but I do carry a mean stick making sure Sith customers comply and work with me to close their deal for investment loans...*ahem*...Contract Negotiator. Typical investment loans can range from $235,000,000 and above. Sound intimidating? Not really. It's like any other job; you learn the rules, cite the laws and play the legal symphony on paper. Working with lawyers has its benefits and can be fun. I usually get sound legal advice for free, great gifts and I get to come and go as I please. The free advice has definitely paid off for me in the past and has been a life saver. I've had to take legal action against parties that were negligent towards me. And I'm happy to say that I have won all my past cases because of the legal advice I've been given. My job is stressful, but this added perk is worth it.

About those Star Wars myths...Han shot FIRST. Sorry, but that is the gorram truth so deal with it. Padme DOES NOT live, get over it. Reality check; Mace Windu's lightsaber is purple because Samuel Jackson asked the Maker for a purple lightsaber. I guess green and blue clashed for him. Luke is NOT a wimp. I'll prove it to you in my next blog. There is only one myth about Star Wars that I really don't have an explanation for. Did Clones suffer any pain because of accelerated growth? I can only imagine that accelerated growth spurts must have been painful for them. I know I suffered from growing pains when I was growing up. I'm guessing that it must have hurt like hell, among other things. And that's all I've got to say about that.

Speaking of clones, I've found my Star Wars clone and I'm going to visit her in Tatooine (Texas) come this October. Her blog is here, if you want to get to know her. I'm sure you've seen her around these parts, so stop on by and say "hi" with sugar on top. This small but significant twist of fate has changed my life forever. Let me explain. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would ever develop, let alone maintain, a friendship in Hyperspace. The whole concept of connecting with someone via cyber net is kind of creepy to me. Boy, I was wrong. We have become real good friends over the past few months. We talk on the phone to each other, share our joys and sorrows and just have a gorram good time talking Star Wars shop. I guess the reason why our friendship has blossomed is because we have so much in common. It's kind of scary, but real cool. I swear my mother is withholding information about my long lost sister. Anyway, one of our first Jedi missions upon me exiting my star fighter (airplane) is to make sure that I get two very important tattoos. After great debate and upon a majority vote, we (mostly me) decided on the following tattoos:

1) Jedi symbol on right shoulder with "Jedi" spelled out, in script format, underneath it. I like the "Legacy" era Jedi symbol, so that is the one I will be going with.

2) "Serenity" spelled out, in script format, on the small of my back. Although I love "Firefly", "Serenity" has more meaning to me on so many levels, besides the movie. And yes, you are reading this correctly; I like "other" Sci-Fi movies besides Star Wars.

I'm a little nervous about getting these tattoos as they will be my first. I'm hoping that a quick gulp of an adult beverage of some sort will take the edge off and let me get through my inhibitions. Some of you may not be into something like this and that is OK. I call it personal growth and extending beyond my comfort zone.

Finally, I need your help my fellow bloggers. My next blog is going to be about Luke, nothing but Luke so help the Force. I've spent two months working on this blog and for some reason I can't seem to find a title that works for it. Call it laziness, writer's block or whatever, I'm at a complete loss for a blog title and I need your help. The blog title needs to be bold and catchy and describe that it is all about Luke. These are the current working titles I have so far, which I'm not real proud of, so please be kind:

Luke is NOT a wimp - (I don't know...Feels kind of lame)
Its Raining Luke, Halleluiah - (Somebody help me, please)
Luke the Stud - (What? I can dig it, can you? Let's not go there)
The Power of Luke - (Mmmmm...I don't know. It does not feel right)
I want more Luke - (Just shoot me)
Almighty Luke - (This has potential)
The Many Force Wonders of Luke - (Too melodramatic for my taste)
Luke, the Force and Mace's Purple Lightsaber - (......D'OH)
The Force According to Luke - (Still not feeling it)

Enough with the torture. I'm waiting for your recommendations. So, feel free to tell me which titles you like or dislike or make recommendations of your own. Eventually, you may or may not be reading my blog. My blog fate is in your hands. Don't let me down, because I know you won't be shy.

Well, that's all for now folks. Thanks for taking the time to read this extremely long, but excellent blog adventure. I hope you had some fun and giggled along the way. And if you did, my job is done here. By the way, just because I don't comment on your blog does not mean that I'm not reading them. I am around these parts; I just don't always have the time or luxury to stop by your blog and say "hi" or comment. And that's all I've got to say about that.
