My Top Five: Xbox 360 Games

I decided to to games because well I love to play video games and more so on my 360, so here we go!

1. Assassin's Creed Series(1,2, and Brotherhood) I had to choose all three because I don't know which I like more! In Brotherhood they introduce an online multiplayer and it's amazing!It's an RPG and takes quite a while to finish but it's well worth it :)

2. Halo:Reach, on this one I was tied between Reach and Modern Warfare 2, but the campaign on Reach was awesome! If you've never played a Halo game Reach is the one to start out with even though it came out last, it actually would be the first in the series of games. I love all the Halo games but this has to be my favorite!

3. TATICLE NUKE INCOMING! Thats Right Modern Warfare 2, I love the online game play it's fast and stealthy (except for the noob tubers..)It's a first person shooter for those who have not played. The graphics are AWESOME and just an all around well designed game! Way to go Activision and Infinity Ward:)

4. Dragon Age: Origins, I'm currently playing this game but it has already made it to my top five! This game is an RPG and is taking FOREVER to finish! It's okay though the story line is really well thought out and it's a lot of fun to play:) If you're into magic and warriors and defeating the darkspawn(demons) this is the game for you!

5. And lastly, to be honest I play this game way too much and it's really a little kids game but VIVA PINATA! There are other games that are better made and for sure have some meaning behind it but when I'm bored and don't feel like having to think too much about the game. Its fun and light hearted you attract pinatas by the plants you grow and they come to live in your garden:) I love it, it's so cute and fun to watch.

Who doesn't love to be Quoted!

We write to discover what we think- Joan Didion, Page 112 (not sure if it's actually 112 in the book but on my kindle thats where it say's it is)

I chose this quote because on a daily basis I write down random things to get it out of my mind and then I can think about it a little more in a different way. Even if it's just making a list of things to do I feel like I get a little less stressed to have it out of my mind and I can actually think about it. I've also noticed with blogging that when I'm typing I'm able to get out a lot more and not so much think about what  I'm saying and just let it come out. Once I'm done I come to read it over again and realize things that I never really thought about and how strongly i feel about certain things.

I don't necessarily write to discover what I think but I know when I write sometimes I learn more and more about myself. It's really neat to realize that you've learned something about yourself, its weird to think that you might not know everything about yourself but it's surprising to realize those things you never knew. It can be both good and bad but mostly I've learned great things about myself. For one I learned that I'm not a half bad writer, and that writing is actually fun, and it's a good stress release.

Gamer Girl

Why is it that when you're a gamer(video, online role play, or in person role play) you're automaticly assumed to be a nerd? If you're a guy its perfectly fine to be a gamer unless its something like dungeons and dragons, but if you're a girl you're considered a nerd?

I am a gamer, I love my xbox 360 and I RP(role play) on a site called the Forgotten Realms. On my xbox I mainly play Halo: Reach, Assassin's Creed (1,2, and Brotherhood), and Modern Warfare 2 (don't have black ops! too much like World at War for me!!!) . On the RP site I have three characters, a Human, Feyborn, and a Drow. If you have ever played D&D than you know what I'm talking about :) I have the site linked on my blog at the top right so if you want to check it out feel free to, oh and if you're into that type of stuff PLEASE JOIN!!! Anyway, on the site you do whats called interactive role playing, its like writting a book with one or more people! It helps develop you're writting skills and its a lot of fun! There are a couple other girls on the site that are active memebers, but not near as many girls as there is guys of course.

As soon as I tell people that I game (people I know in real life) they look at me like there could be no way considering I'm not the normal stereo type of girl to game in the sorts of games I play. Now for the people that I know from online gaming, when I'm on xbox I have my mic on so I can correspond with my teamates so I usually get asked if i'm a 10 year old boy or a girl. If I say I'm a girl then most of the time I get questions like "are you hot?" and I respond with "yes, I'm 450lbs of meaty love" and that turns them away, but thats what gives girl gamers a nerdy rep, because the dumb guys who are on there being rude and nasty! Now dont get me wrong there are some guys out there online who are nice and not nasty.

Here is the link to how most guys are on xbox live. Pre warning there is bad language in this video. This is what pretty much any girl gamer wants to do when you run into a guy like this!

I am from...

I am from Buzz and Iralonna

I am from Texas, Arkansas, and Illinois

I am from passion and love

I am from playing with Barbies and playing Hockey

I am from music and dancing like your Michael Jackson

I am from rough times who made me stronger

I am from a loving and crazy family

I am from the rivers that I wakeboard and ski on

I am from the ultimate creator, a higher being whoever you believe, but to me it's God.

Dedicated Avenged Sevenfold Fan

Meet my Avenged Sevenfold Family. From left to right my boyfriend Jake, Me, Lena, Joe, and my brother Marc. All the rest of the people around us are part of that family too.

Yesterday I went to Evansville, Indiana for the Avenged Sevenfold concert which if you don't know who they are then learn who they are! They are extremely talented, I know metal isn't a lot of peoples favorite music but it sure is mine. If you know anything about Avenged you probably know that their drummer died a year and a couple months ago. It was a horrible lost, they were in the middle of recording an album and they still have no cause of death. He was an amazing musician he was playing stuff that Lars Ulrich(Metallica's Drummer) was playing at a young age, which is not easy. It was a really rough year on the band and the A7X family a.k.a their fans. Last night they played with New Medicine, Hollywood Undead, and Stone Sour. Stone Sour is one of my other favorite bands. The guitarist Jim Root and the lead singer Corey Taylor are also in the band Slipknot.

The best way I can describe the concert last night after Avenged went on was euphoric, it was like a dream come true. It was my second time seeing them in concert and each time it just gets better and better. To know how I feel think of the band or person you want to see most in life and hearing them play the song that you never thought they would. It just made my life. A7X is a band that is in it for the music and their fans. I would happily do that drive again and more just to be able to see them preform again. As the semester moves on I will probably write a lot more about them. Last night was an adventure and a great one at that. If you are a fan here is there set list for the Nightmare After Christmas Tour : Nightmare, Critical Acclaim, Welcome to the Family, Danger line, Buried Alive, So Far Away, Afterlife, God Hates Us, Bat Country, Unholy Confessions, and for their encore songs Fiction and A Little Piece of Heaven. During Unholy Confessions they played a little bit of Crossroads to get a circle pit going. Alright thats what I got for you all now. Time to link some youtube videos so you see what I saw last night! And if you're scared of metal head you might not want to watch!:)

Pixie the Kitty!

So today I just picked up my little 4 month old baby with fur from the Humane Society of Missouri. I took her in  yesterday morning at 7am to be De-Clawed and Spayed. The service there is really awesome! You can tell that they care for the animals deeply. Me, being the nervous as I was about dropping off my little baby and letting them cut into her was very hard but they definitely were reassuring. They called as soon as she was out of surgery to let me know she did great and that she was resting.
Its amazing that something that isn't even the same species as you has such a deep impact on your life. I consider Pixie my child and going a full 24 hours without your baby is quite traumatizing let me tell you! She is finally home  and doing well. She didn't even have to have her paws bandaged because she is doing so well! I am very impressed with the people at the Humane Society, they did an excellent job and gave me good instructions. On the 4th she goes back for them to remove the stitches on her tummy. But for the next few days it's nap time to little miss Pixie Stick.
