I really must get some sleep now, but before I do I finished uploading my new header… You know, put a name to a face and all that.

When I first made the blog, I decided “Piratess” would be a good term - rather than pirate.  I assumed it was a word I’d made up somewhere in my head.  Anyway, whilst doing the header today I decided to google it.  Sure enough it actually turned up.  Seems I’m not quite as bonkers as I first thought.  Here’s the description;

Referring to the modern day Women Pirate, IE: Not a Wench, in so much as; she the Piratess considers herself to be equally qualified in the pirating profession and/or genre,as any male pirate. Not as a “play thing” or “pretty poppet” to be “plundered.”  She will most likely be well armed and can usually be found captaining or navigating the ship. Certainly not a woman to be trifled with.  Mary Read, Anne Bonney, Grace O’Malley and Shi Xainggu are all wonderful examples of a true piratess.

It’s true, here’s the link to prove it:  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=piratess

So thats made my day and provided me with yet another giggle :)  What can I say to that?  Apart from “Yarr!” :p
