I JUST HAD A MOVIE MOMENT IN REAL LIFE!

2013-01-03T21:41:33Z

Rode up to the deli on my bike to turn-in a lotto $20 ticket I won from New Year's Eve and the clerk thought my driver's license was fake and I wasn't over 18 years-old.

To prove to him that I was indeed 22, I unzipped my parka, hoping the fact that I'm a full-grown woman would help. All he saw was the Amazing Spider-man shirt, and he told me to take my bike home.

Yeahhh buddy

2012-05-09T20:19:07Z

My last Gamer's Grasp of the year (maybe ever if I can't write it after I start my new job as Managing Editor) is number one on the site.

Yeahhhh man! Ending things ON TOP!

Things I learned in the Library

2012-05-02T20:04:01Z

After 2 hours of forcing myself to stay in the library I've come to discover a few things:

1.) The Library is not that quiet - it's just filled with a lot of people trying to whisper. And they can't whisper so it just sounds like "WHISS WHISS WHISSS WHISSS" and it's creepy and people need to stop doing that.

2.) There are never outlets near where you are. Even if you move to someplace where you saw an outlet, the second you sit down it will disappear only to reappear right next where you just moved from. And it's occupied. By someone who does not look friendly.

3.) The Library has terrible chairs that create back-pain to the point that you will need to stretch out on the floor to readjust your spinal cord.

4.) Stretching out on the Baruch College Library floor is frowned upon.

So I'm in a relationship again. It's weird cause even though me and hat kid have been broken up for months and he's moved onto brown-stoner girl it was weird for me to like...move on. Sure I was single and fucking around with a bunch of people but it wasn't until dimitris came that i as like OH I WANNA DATE AGAIN cause hat kid was just such a chore and i wanted something solid

he's super sweet and really likes me but what sucks is that unlike hat kid who had his own place in brooklyn this fucker still lives with his parents in queens which is only like..20 mins away by car but it's an hour by train and its just so sdfghjkkjh frustrating cause i was a bit spoiled with Hat Kid cause we would just fuck around at his place for days and it was cool but with dimitris we both gonna run to catch trains and find places at school to fuck around and it's a bit annoying...

I told him to come visit me on LI so I can finally introduce a boyfriend to my 'rentz that i'm not super embarrassed of
YAYYYYY FEELINGS AND STUFF

Still Alive

2012-03-18T23:24:45Z

Chilling with Sharkbait, being a single lady.

Kissing all da dudes, flirting with some peeps, getting drunk on Thursdays, making dough twice a week.

Umm...so

2012-01-09T00:43:50Z

So Hat Kid and I decided to just be friends. The whole relationship was kind of forced, and really wasn't working for either of us.
However, it's that uncomfortable gray area between "are we REALLY friends? or did we just say that to make the other feel better" situation.

We'll see. It's been a few days and I keep having to fight myself on whether I should text him yet or not. I haven't yet because that would be weird and really the less I interact with him the less likely I am to fuck everything up.

I feel kind of bad that it didn't work out, but I always had my doubts about this whole dating thing. Still, it lasted longer than I thought it would mmmhmmm.

January is Boring

2012-01-04T04:15:33Z

My brother got a Snuggie for christmas, so I'm just wearing the shit out of it. It looks so stupid, but is so damn warm.

Nothing big is going on so far. Hat Kid may come up to visit next weekend, then the weekend after I'll probably trek to Brooklyn to spend the weekend with him. I told him money may be an issue now that Seamus went and kicked it, but he said he'd pay for me. So we'll see.

Sienna wants to go up to Boston this weekend, but I really don't want to go because of the aforementioned money situation, and also I don't like taking off work too much if I can avoid it.

Gotta work hours to make money and get bitches, yo.

I gots an Assistant (kinda)

2011-12-22T23:46:11Z

This morning Cesar (the old Science editor) texted me to tell me that he found this girl named Nozima who wants to be my assistant this semester. I told him to have her send me an email and we've been talking.

She's a science student - which it's great because even though I'm the Science editor now I know jack shit about the sciencey going-ons at Baruch, I'm more of a Tech girl anyway. We've been going back and forth and she said how she's been interested in taking up the section but hasn't written for us, or has even come to a single production, and is on academic overload because she's taking all science classes...uh huh...

Well, hopefully she can at least help me with interviews and stuff. She seems pretty put together, and I could use all the help I can get.

Let's see what happens come January when it's time for actual production and if she's still interested when it's 2am and I'm still fighting with inDesign and crying over my keyboard.

Ugh!!!

2011-12-21T18:52:44Z

For the record, it's not cool to tell someone they're working, then tell them not to come in, and then an hour before tell them to come in and expect that they won't be at a little bit of an inconvenience.

Winter Break Day 1

2011-12-21T07:27:23Z

For my birthday my brother got me a Wii Classic Controller Pro and Skyward Sword, so basically my only goal this break is to finally break Ocarina and play Skyward. I got halfway through Ocarina over the summer, and tonight I started Skyward and I'm up to the first temple.

Basically my major issues with Zelda games with me have always been the fact that I've played them WAY after they've come out, and besides Spirt Tracks I haven't played any modern Zelda games yet (i.e. Windwaker, Twilight Princess) so Skyward's my first step in this whole new world where Link looks like a person and not just a sprite or chibi character.

Spoilers kinda?

I like how long the beginning is, because I like how cute Link and Zelda look in this art style. I don't care that the graphics aren't HD, it looks fine on the Wii. The bird part that gave me a hard time at Comic Con was actually way easier when I got to it, which is cool. However, I still fucking hate the Wii and I wish I could play this game with a fucking normal controller because I hate how the sword doesn't respond correctly. Whenever I have to JAB spiders, for instance, it instead has Link SLASH and then the Spiders just hurl at me and kill me and it's such a frustrating experience. Just now it took me 10 minutes to kill ONE spider - ONE! I'm up the first temple, and basically been avoiding any enemy I can't stun first with the slingshot because GOD FORBID I HAVE TO HIT IT A CERTAIN WAY, I'M DEAD WITHIN 15 MINUTES...grumble...

Anyway, besides Zelda I've been catching up on Reviews for Kaboom and jotting down ideas for Gamer's Grasp for next semester. I figured if I try to get at least some done ahead of time, then I can focus more on the section itself instead of worrying on writing articles on top of that.

Also, I was supposed to work tomorrow but they called to tell me there's nothing for me to do since it's a week before a holiday weekend so tomorrow I'm going out for my birthday dinner with Leah, Kristy and Sienna. I only have 9 bucks in my bank account, so here's hoping they pay for me.

My Birthday!

2011-12-19T07:45:41Z

Today was my birthday - I'M 21 NOW.

My new license hasn't come in, which is a bummer and I'm pretty sure I just failed my Spanish class which is also a bummer.

Anyway, to celebrate my birthday I stayed over Hat Kid's apartment on saturday after my spanish final, and we watched Burn Notice and drank terrible coffee. Then today we went to the holiday markets in Union Square, and then up to Rockefeller to see the tree, check out the new Lego Store and see the Zelda display at Nintendo World.

Dat shit cray.

Then on a whim we stopped by the MoMA cause CUNY kids get in for free, Hat Kid has never gone before and I've always wanted to go on a date to the MoMA.

Hat Kid does not give a fuck and takes pictures of weird art even in exhibits where pictures aren't allowed.

It was a lot of fun, even though poor Hat Kid is getting over a bad cold and by the end of it was hacking his lungs out. I'm going to bring him some chest congestion medicine tomorrow to take before our Copy Editing final.

Tonight after I got home, I got coffee with Michele and she gave me my present which is this awesome Robin Tumbler:

Straight up gansta shit.

So yes - another birthday has passed, but honestly this birthday was probably one of the best. I'm starting to get old though...21 is a big number. I mean, Hat Kid is 22 and I think of him as old since he's going to be 23 soon. Ancient!

My life is awesome

2011-11-15T15:38:26Z

Walls

2011-11-13T23:54:20Z

I figured out that if I just put walls around myself, and constantly tell myself that Hat Kid and I have an expiration date and it's not meant to last forever I'll be able to go through this "relationship" - i feel silly even calling it that.

He's just so confusing, one day acting like we're an actual couple, the next like we're just good friends. I want to make this work, and I do like him but it's just too confusing and I'm scared to talk about it because the few times we're alone together I don't want to waste talking about stupid shit that doesn't matter.

I give it til my birthday, and that's being generous.

My life just took a 360 and I don’t know what to do about it.

2011-11-05T23:38:11Z

In this week alone, I started dating Sean (yes, Hat Kid has a real name), and put into my two weeks notice for Party City. I know I should be excited, and that I’ve been begging for change these last few months, but it’s all happening at once and I’m starting to feel overwhelmed.

On the work side, I’m moving on to this place called Active Kidz, where I’d be an Event Planner and help parents plan their kids parties and supervise them. It pays more, and the owners were so nice. During the tour I was super excited to start, and the next day when I went into PC to give in my two weeks...I dunno I just hit me how long I’ve been there.

Granted, I don’t WANT to stay. My mental health cannot possibly withstand that. But leaving something I’ve managed, that’s been such a big part of my life...it’s jarring. I have to finish off the week and train someone else to take up Balloon Counter, but it’s hard to conceive that this is my last week ever having to wear ugly tan pants and a black t-shirt.

With Sean....it’s all just so new. I say it so much that I’m just really, really REALLY bad at dating. It’s why I avoided at all cost. Jason, Dan...they barely lasted a few months because I just couldn’t do it. I couldn’t deal and figure out how to function in a relationship. I broke it off with both of them as soon as the first signs of an argument spouted.

But with Sean it’s different...I actually like him. When it was that awkward “I like you, I think you like me, but I dunno” stage, I kept trying to distance myself from him, but there’s this weird attraction that keeps pulling me back.

I fucking hate it!!!

We’ve only been official for a week, and I’m just so fucking scared that I’m fucking everything up. He’s older than me, and is more experienced. He’s been with girls who are FAST, and while he tells me now it’s not a big deal IT WILL BE A BIG DEAL. Shit like this is ALWAYS A BIG FUCKING DEAL.

Then I think to what that can lead to...and the fights, the disagreements, all the shit I’m going to have to deal with. The fact that the Ticker people still don’t like me, and how every time I walk into his office I can feel the other editors staring at the back of my head so hard my scalp itches.

It just makes me so uncomfortable - plus, I don’t even know why he likes me. We really don’t have that much in common when it comes down to it. He calls me a journalist, but I wouldn’t consider myself that at all. He gets all the major news publications mailed to his house and he gives me random sections like I give a shit - I DO NOT GIVE A SHIT - and I take them and pretend I do because I don’t want him to think I’m some sort of ignorant asshole. I text stories about my life a lot and send them to all my friends, who find them charming, but when I text him I feel like I’m a nuisance. That I’m being clingy and I shouldn’t be texting him so much or he’ll get annoyed. I find myself saying sorry to him a lot - I accidentally shut the door in his face and apologized so profusely you’d think I shot his dog.

Sienna said it’s natural, that we’re still feeling each other out and we’ll fall into a rhythm. That I just need to stop over-thinking everything - like I always do - and just enjoy it. But I CAN’T JUST IGNORE THE FACT THAT I’M GONNA FUCK EVERYTHING UP!

Or can I? I don’t know...I’m also super feverish so maybe it is all in my head and I’m gonna wake up single again and just working at party city and this last week has just been one, big giant stroke dream.

Hey Anime Fans

2011-10-24T06:16:54Z

I'm out of the loop and want to know if this is legit information:

Cause new FMP and Maid-sama would be awesome, but I refuse to get me hopes up for lies.
So yeah, followers who are anime fans - is this legit?

Pumpkin Pie

2011-10-21T06:32:14Z

I didn't want to get Milkshakes with this creepy asshole in my Copy Editing class, so I agreed to go out with some people from the Ticker, but you had to be 21 to get in and I'm not so I didn't go.

Instead Sienna and Kristy surprised me at the station, and we all went to this place called Witches Brew which is this Tea and Cake shop that's open late (it was 24 hours tonight, but I think that's cause it's halloween season) - and it was amazing.

I wanted to eat everything!

I got Irish Breakfast Tea and Pumpkin Pie, and Sienna got Rainbow Cookies and some cookie cupcakes and Kristy had this amazing Red Velvet cake...we all just shared each other's stuff.
So good...so full...can't create coherent setences.

Tomorrow I'm off because work hates me, so I'm gonna work on:

This group project that's terrible because my group members are retarded and I fucked up the paper cause I'm retarded/
Spanish Homework because I suck at Spanish
Study for Copy Editing cause I'm bad at that
Finish my Tangled fic exchange story (cause it's still only halfway done)
Finish Corona Vice chapter 9 (becuase that's only halfway done too)

I feel like this is doable because I'm still partly in a food coma from how good that Pumpkin Pie was...so good...

NYCC Wrap Up

2011-10-18T03:59:31Z

Okay, so now that I’m home and everything is settled, it’s time to tell you all about NYCC.

NYCC is now basically a smaller version of SDCC, a place where nerds, geeks and pop culture fiends alike gather along a sweat-filled showroom floor to meet creators, take pictures, and gawk at celebrities.

I played a lot of games, and spent little money - which was awesome. I ran into so many people! New friends and old, its like everybody I knew was at this convention!

But the most awesome of all was that I managed to push up to the front of the IGN Panel and during the Q&A kiss enough ass to get the executive editor’s business card.

If you go here and skip in 20mins, you can hear me and the guy give me his card. It's awesome.

I emailed him my work from UGO and he emailed me back today with, “These are solid. What systems do you have? Would you be interested in freelance reviews and such?”

.....so after I died and came back to life, I replied with my systems and that’d be thrilled to freelance for them.

Yeah, it’s not a JOB, it’s just work for them - but I have to remember I’m still in school, and will be for at least until this time next year. It’s a way to get my foot in, and they’re always looking for new editors around the year. This guy is the head of the PlayStation channel - my favorite system - and really any work that isn’t Party City is great work.

I’m still waiting for him to get back to me on the details. I’m not allowing myself to get my hopes up - after that UGO fallout, I’ve learned better than to jump the gun.

So yeah - another NYCC, another job op. Thank god I had those fancy new business cards!!!

I owe you NYCC feedback, but right now I have feelings

2011-10-17T17:25:38Z

I've decided that basically all I want in my life right now is to make enough money that I won't have to work at Party City anymore.

DISNEYWORLD WAS AMAZINNNNGGG

2011-10-14T06:07:31Z

Why We Aren't Allowed to Meet Famous People

2011-10-05T01:51:36Z

Today I found out about the Avengers Panel at NYCC, and told Sabrina and Michele over facebook.

Comic-con's gonna be awesome, guys.

AMAZING DAY FULL OF AMAZING THINGS!

2011-10-04T01:36:34Z

So many awesome things happened to me today - and I'm seriously around some of the nicest people in the universe.

I'm too tired to list them all, but considering how shitastic my life has been these last few months, today just rejuvenated me to get through this shitty semester.

I love you all.
