Giving into sweet temptation

So I did something I knew I shouldn't but I just couldn't help myself. It's not my fault. It was just to damn amazing to pass up. I reserved the new limited addition Star Wars Xbox 360. How could I not? Just look at it in all its beautiful nerd glory!

How could you say no to that?

By the time it comes out in November I'm sure I'll feel less guilty about it :)

One day at a time

I know I have been kinda lazy about updating, and for that I apologize. It's hard with my new job as a page layout designer for the Asbury Park Press to stay on top of things. Plus my grandmother passed away two weeks ago and honestly I'm just not handling it all to well, but I shall do my best to update when I can. -Krystle

Catching up

So as of this upcoming Monday my life as I have known it up until this point will change forever. I will be beginning my new career with Gannett. I can not even begin to say how excited/scared out my mind I am. I can only pray that I will live up to their expectations as well as my own.
In nerd news here is a picture from the Steampunk World's Faire from a few weeks ago like I promised:

I'm proud of how my costume came out, though a few things do need to be tweaked.

In gamer news, my human mage Mistk is level 75 making her ten levels away from the level cap. So excited to see how quickly she is progressing... though that is mainly do to my lack of social life at the moment... which will definitely not be the case any longer come Monday. Real world here I come... kicking and screaming... lol

Its been awhile

So its been two months since my last post, which is quite negligent on my part. Not to make excuses, but honestly, I've been kind of busy. I graduated from college, and I got a job. I haven't started working yet but I am excited to begin. It's amazing how many changes have occurred in my life in such a short amount of time.

I just recently bought Portal 2 and I am excited to begin playing it once it comes in the mail. I should probably play Portal 1 first though :P. I'm still horribly addicted to World of Warcraft, I've started a new character, a human mage name Mistk. She's level 45 as of this posting, but I'm hoping to have her to at least level 50 by this weekend. Well that's it for now. I will do my best to update much more regularly but with my new job starting soon I can't make to many promises. This weekend is also the Steampunk World's Faire. I have been working on my costumes for months and I am so excited to finally get to wear them. I'll post some pics some time next week hopefully. Until next time.

Con Mania

So this is going to be the year of the con. I've already been to two this year (AnimeUSA, and Zenkaikon). This summer if all goes according to plan, I will be attending AnimeNext, the Steampunk World's Fair, possibly Otakon. In the fall I may attend Comic Con NY/Nyaf. So I'll be completely broke by October. But I really can't complain, this is my last summer before the real world begins and I plan to live it up.
I finally heard back from nerdgirlpinups.com. They finally sent me my contract and I should begin plans on my first photoshoot soon. I'm thinking of going with Kaylee from Firefly as my first shoot. I'm so excited. :)

Nothing new to report

So graduation is ever inching closer and I am still basically unemployed and broke. My prospects are not looking bright at the moment. I've begun looking for jobs that would be a good fit for me but so far no one has really responded. I'm doing my best to stay optimistic but some days are harder than others.
Been to broke to buy any new games which sucks because there are so many games I would love to play. Anyone want to buy me Dragon Age 2? I'll be your best friend, pretty please?

When the runaway train comes to a stop

Things have been mellowing out and I am beginning to adjust to my new schedule. It would help if there wasn't a blizzard every other day... but eh nothings perfect. I'm starting to feel like my life is coming to a standstill with very little progress being made in most areas of my life... but graduation is around the corner in May so maybe things will begin to pickup again. All in all I'm trying to keep busy. Went out with a group of my friends last night to do some Karaoke and it was so much fun. It was exactly what I needed actually. I've in such a funk lately that I needed to just get out and let loose. I think this weekend will be full of friends and revelry. Just what the doctor ordered.
