It was funny, but when I was up at the islands and looking for Orcas, I&#8217;d pull out the camera and people would start asking me questions like I was some sort of researcher or something. Fortunately after years of reading and collecting books about them, I do know a lot more than I thought about the resident Orcas and could actually answer some questions. Hmmm&#8230; career change?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and it&#8217;s my birthday today. Just one of the 50 billion Virgos born this month because all our parents that had sex during the winter holidays. When I was in elementary school I used to get all bummed out at being a Virgo because it was so obviously a feminine sign. I wanted to be a Leo, Taurus or Aries. Come on those are cool manly animals! How come I&#8217;m stuck with some some virgin woman? What&#8217;s a virgin anyway? I was probably 5 and full of questions , but I think it was explained to me that she was virtuous. I doubt you can even go near astrology in classrooms these days let alone explaining what a virgin is. I only thought it was cool after the girl I had a little crush on, Jyll, was the only other Virgo and the teacher made each of the signs stand up together around the sides of the classroom. I was friends with Jyll the rest of the way through school due to that one little event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[BIG PHOTO OF NICKY] Proof that the lens is the most important part of a camera.
