Opportunities

I just wanted to take this time to think about opportunity and what it means. Defined it reads (as a noun) a set of circumstances that makes it possible to do something. But rather I think it is a matter of deciding what you want and then creating chances. Lately that's what i've been thinking about. What to do with my life, how to do it, etc. It's not easy, but I think i'm slowly getting on my feet...

First thing is first
1) research
2) explore
3) apply and committ
4) take action


Next i'll be on my way to full time adulthood... let's just hope I don't lose any of myself along the way. I like being fun! ^_^

P.S. within the next few days i'll have another post up, so be on the lookout. TTFN

Nerdy is the new cool!

Next up... Nerdy board games! :)

Do you remember any of these lovely versions of classic games?

1) Star Wars Monopoly
2) Pokemon Yahtzee
3) Pokemon Monopoly  (I think there is even a Nintendo version)

4) Harry Potter Clue
5) Scene It and other Trivia Games
6) Quidditch the Game 

Personally, I always liked the creative twist on these versions of the games! :) 

Also because it is a cool link check it out: Quidditch is on it's way to being an unofficial sport!!!

Then of course there are the nerdy games themselves...

1) D&D
2) Magic the Gathering
3) Trading Card games (i.e. Pokemon, Yu-gi-oh, and Bakugan) 
4) Warhammer 
5) Munchkin

What's new, TV?

So my new MUST watch TV show is fun & educational. It's on the National Geographic Channel and it examines the secrets of the human mind. I have learned quite a bit from it and highly recommend it, especially if you love Science or knowing more about the way our brains work and function. A few years ago I did a project on Memory and being a Sociology major and a psychology minor, I naturally have a curiosity for the why and how. It also challenges you to think and sets up a series of games for us to play.

Check it out and let me know what you think?

Suggestions?

So I think I might be getting back into the D&D realm soon! I must say I am excited. So far I know I wanna be a druid and make my character part fox. I want her to be close with nature and animals as I am! :) That means, that I will soon have to create yet another lovely cosplay. I'm currently in the midst of finding a corset for TempleCon and King Richard's Faire. And I'm working on Medli. (from Wind Waker) and some of the characters from Adventure Time and Bravest Warriors for the next comic book convention. If any one has any input on props or supplies, or wants to give me some idea... I'd love to hear from you all! 

In other news, my Yu-Gi-Oh deck and progress in Pokémon have gotten better. I'm so glad to be enjoying some of the nerdy things I once enjoyed as a kid. I even started watching Card Captor Sakura again. At some point I'd love to create all the Clow cards! Any one else feeling nostalgic?

P.S. I feel like a crafts store and online shopping would be my best bet- anyone know anything relatively close and cheap aside from Michaels?
