The CCEE was awesome! I absolutely loved volunteering there. It was nice helping people to have a good time. Not only that, but I saw a lot of my old friends... friends I hadn't seen in years! The CCEE had brought me together with many new and old people. Me hard at work helping people, lol. My friend Dustin and his GF Lorraine in the background. There were a few hiccups with the Expo. We

Hey everyone! I'm sorry I've been so quiet lately. I had a ton of papers to write, tests and quizzes to finish, yadda yadda. I just have finals to do now and I decided a breath of fresh air was in order. *Breathes... and smiles* So how have you all been? ^^; Anyway, I guess I should explain my blog post title. A couple weeks ago, I had my very first craft sale at my school! It went really

*Sigh* Well, as I had mentioned previously, I wanted to make a Dark Phoenix costume for the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo (CCEE). Last week, I received 2 packages pertaining to my costume: the body suit and the boots. I was excited for both! ... until I tried them on. I was swimming in the body suit, which was disappointing to say the least. I gave them measurements, weight, and

@.@ ...... So... I must apologize for being so quiet lately. I'm just a smidgen exhausted. x.x I'm doing my second wave of midterms right now. After that, essays are due. I'm also working a lot more, as I realized I don't make a lot of money every month. Working consists of tutoring, crafting, and taking notes for classes for those with various disabilities. Despite that, I've made a few new

Ah reading break... the Canadian equivalent to Spring break, though not set in spring and not nearly as exciting. A week-long holiday from school with the expectation that students will read and catch up on various assignments. Haha! Funny. ... As a diligent student, I will be doing at least some reading. I have 2 research papers to complete and a midterm upon coming back. I also have

So this week has been incredible. So much awesome stuff. I'm about to share it all with you, of course. First of all, the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo is going to be fricken AWESOME this year. Pretty much everyone going is amazing. I'm so serious. Check out the list of guests here. I'm probably most excited to see the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Stan Lee, Katee Sackhoff, Jake

One of the main dialects spoken in Ghana is one called 'Twi.' From what I can tell, this is a Super Mario skit, probably done on Family Guy, with (most of) the dialogue translated into Twi. Apparently there's a whole whack of other ones, but for the purpose of my blog, I'll share this one.

I set the backlighting to red when it's Dragon Killing Time. You don't need to tell me how awesome I am. I know. So it's week 2 into the semester and I started to miss my beloved Skyrim before I even went back to school. I knew it would turn out like this... and I know, in my heart, it's for the best that I'm not playing Skyrim while in school, but my heart aches for it. It's really awkward.

Last week, I randomly met someone affiliated with a company that organizes LAN gaming events (LAN = Local Area Network). He explained to me that he wants his company to branch out, that he noticed my crafts, and thought he might want to help me out with promoting and selling it. So we met up a few days later to discuss ideas and show my crafts up close. I think it went well. From what it

I was thinking a lot about DDR over the weekend. It seems as though the only time I get to play this game anymore is whenever I go to Kelowna or Vancouver. Calgary no longer has a DDR "scene" and the machines are unplayable. I still very much enjoy it, though. I mean... it's how John and I met and fell in love and all that gushy stuff... so I'm always more than happy to go play with him. :3

I'm normally a pretty easy going, calm person. It doesn't take a lot to please me... actually, you could probably compare me to a plant: feed me, water me, pay attention to me once in a while, and I'll be pretty happy. Anyone who truly knows me knows that I'm very stubborn. I use the stubbornness and fight. Thinking about it, I pride in my ability to fight. People tell me I'm strong and I shrug

(taken from my creativity blog, Systematic Chaos, written on August 3, 2011) It's been a long time since the last time I drew something. To be honest, I can't even remember when that time was... A few months back, I received an e-mail from a woman on a very old art account I used to have when I was much younger. Humouring myself, I clicked on the link. Much to my surprise, this woman had

All too often, I'm so easily influenced by what other people think of me. I hate being judged. I want to be seen as a great person to my peers, friends, family, boyfriend, but most of all, to complete strangers. First impressions are so important, after all. You never know what chance meeting could be the key to your entire future. A long time ago, I used to record my progress at ITG through

{via} Pokemon Black and White launched last Sunday, March 6th, and-- as I'm still an elementary school kid at heart-- I picked up a copy of Black. Black and White are completely new Pokemon games, which is where most of the appeal came from to me. I was curious about the new Pokemon, despite seeing the starters and wondering where the inspiration came from to mesh a pig and rabbit together (

I think going hard up until this point has gone and made me sick. Or perhaps it was John's fault. Either way, I had to take my last two days before school off due to an incurable headache, congestion, and just overall fatigue. The first day of being sick was boring, to say the least. I spent the day sending in assignments and rescheduling tests and fretting over how I will ask to reschedule my

Now that exams are over (mostly), I'm happy to announce I can finally start updating this thing again! And oh, how I've missed it... Purposefully contradictory with the time of year is weight loss and working out. My method is quite unique... albeit geeky most times. It's something called "In The Groove," or "ITG." It's a DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) equivalent, essentially. ITG is nice because

Every blog needs an introduction, I guess. Well... at least that's the trend of the blogs I once read. I'm a freshly motherless student, 23 years old. I came to the realization that life is for living, and that I should make the most of it, while sitting at my mother's bedside one of the many days before her passing. Unfortunate events happen every day and take many people by surprise. I may be
