Enterprise is in High Desert
So, I’m sure you’re all wondering: where on earth is Sheila? Well, since it's currently Ramadan, I've decided to tone down the blogging a bit—you know me, I can't seem to write a single sentence without throwing in a "damn it." But during Ramadan, swearing feels a bit off. Once the holiday passes, we can get back to our regular, unfiltered conversations. So, what's new with me?
Lately, I've been a bit preoccupied calculating the dimensions of this pyramid that suddenly shot up here in High Desert. It has completely thrown me for a loop. I once heard that aliens build pyramids. Now I'm sitting here wondering: did my friends from Danger build this one? This thing just appeared out of nowhere; where was it before? It wasn't there. It seems to have materialized right around the time I started overthinking things. Which leads me to think they might have parked the Enterprise right inside it. It looks like a pyramid, but really, it's a waiting room. When they finally contact me via communicator to say they're coming to pick me up, I'll head to High Desert, climb to the top, and the whole thing will open up. I'll just hop inside and yell😈"engage!!!" then blast off into space to become the Queen of the Universe, solving everyone's problems and making sure everyone does exactly what I say.
Then, one day, the son of that wicked, terrifying Zoltron—the one I defeated to save the universe—will show up. His name is Zalgamor, and he'll be looking for revenge because I took his old man out. I'll be lounging on my badass royal throne—the kind that lowers itself with a remote—equipped with joysticks for the PS3, Revolution, Nintendo, Sega, and a whole bunch of other cosmic gaming gear, just playing NetHack. Zalgamor will try to sneak up on me to finish the job, thinking I won't notice. But just as he makes his move, I'll let out this specific, piercing scream, and he and all my other enemies will drop dead instantly. And I'll just laugh: Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !! I crushed you all and saved the universe from total idiocy!!!!!!! After that, anything could happen.
I asked the elders to take me to High Desert so I can find my Enterprise. We're planning to go this weekend. It would be pretty great if the crew from Danger reached out so we could all meet up there.
In this photo, it's me on the Enterprise in the future.
