Game Update! and Proud of my Size

Hello all! Here we go with me showing off my Utah sweatshirt, which makes the GF extremely happy (Its even Utah Utes colors ;) ) For those who Arn't aware, Proud of my size is the brainchild of the beautiful and amazing Rachel over at the Near Sighted Owl. Be bold! Be beautiful! and Don't let someone elses opinion of your size, be it big or small, bring you down. I actually had a moment this week that made me think of Rachael and her movement. Im a good Size 10+ these days and one of my favorite work outfits is a very little black dress. at my job we are allowed to be a little.. trendy? and I have been trying to push things a little lately for my own asthetic, and get out of boring Izzy mode. So its VERY short, but paired with opaque tights adorable as can be, and covers everything. Also, I have been wearing it atleast once a week, and even to meetings with the managers with no comments what so ever. So I was just getting to work, and got on the crowded elevator with fellow co-workers. One gal, a larger gal who looked like she was having a rough day was giving me dirty looks, but I ignored her, as I work with a lot of asshats. As I got off on my floor, I hear her say to the rest of the elevator "That dress is SO inapprorpiete, I hope she gets written up." Really? Is it jealousy? Then later 2 other associates stopped me and asked if I had been warned about this dress yet. All of these are either new folks or seasonal hires because I havn't seen any of them before. Old Izzy would have been crazy embarressed or asked to go home and change, but new Izzy thought, Suck a bag of hobo penis. I get plenty of compliments on how cute it is, and the Gentleman Friend is a HUGE fan of this little lacy dress. Love yourself! Love your choices! Im guessing one of the lower level managers is pushing dress code and has the ready to wear people on edge. Im in shoe's guys, suck it. :)

Ok, so its been a crazy long time since I have done a gaming update. Its been a long time since I have played my games!! But this week Pokemon Black/White 2 came out! OMG! Yes, Im 27 years old and play pokemanz. and Im DAMN good at it. Anyways, I picked up White2, figuring most people will get Black2, as past experiance has taught me that everyone like the black dragons. Therefor I have trading fodder :) I also picked up the limited edition, hard cover guide, and splerged. OMG its soooooo pretty!! It came with a holographic plate, and its so amazing. 

I started with Snivey, as he's the only starter I havnt tried yet. I was up till midnight playing and am not to far yet, but OMG its great!! I am dissapointed they kept the same starters, it could have been cool if they gave you something else, maybe a throwback to one of the older games. Oh well. I looked into the VGC's (Nintendo's Video Game Championships) which I attended a few years ago, but they are Sunday. :( WHY??? We just got the game???? Well, MY regionals are sunday. Eastcoast doesnt go till APRIL. Not cool guys!! Anywho, sorry for the orientation, but computer and blogger are not in aggreement. But here is a shot from the game. WTF is up with Bianca's Face?

OMG my nerdyness knows no bounds!! Does anyone else out there game? Whats your system? and your game? Im a handheld girl myself. I currently play a DS Lite (not on board with the 3DS yet :( ) I have other systems but my favorite is for sure my Gameboys. Aside from Pokemanz, I also enjoy Teenage Zombies Attack of the Alien Brain Thingies, Orcs and Elves, Zelda, Harvest Moon and others. 

Have a GREAT day all!! :D Im going to ignore homework and murder pidgeons with a lizard. 

Julia Child Is 100! And Cat Leashes

Happy Birthday to the lady who brought fine cuisine to our homes, promoted the use of butter, and apparently was kind of a bitch. But I love her anyway :) anywho, How is everyone today? I hope well.

So yesterday I was off to see about getting the oil crayon off Darlene's windshield and price out some alarms. I think I have a deal in progress about the latter, but more on that when things are solid ;) The plan is still to paint her plaid. Im ambivolant, but i think it will be the right thing to do. She will be an artistic statement, right? lol! But things are good. :)

Also yesterday my lovely neighbor Shawn gave me and kitten a cat leash! Really its a dog harness she found at the beach, but it fits Kitler just perfect! So we went for a little walk, he seemed to enjoy sniffing around the yard untill be became OBSESSED with attacking the leash

Cut cat party!! XD My blog is now a stereotype. :) lol!! 

To help avoid my life I have been playing Neopets at local coffee shop a lot.. If you have an account or wanna play Im tangledfeet :) 

I also downloaded Monster Petshop and am obsessing over it a little. Im untidyvenus on there and the monsters are SOOO CUTE!!! :D Yep, Im a Nerd

Finals and the Challenge

So its finals week. Finishing up my mandala and essays. Monday it should all be over :) But there will be more about that over on my other blog.

I have let myself get out of shape. I'm not bashing myself or pity partying or anything, but I have had the amazing opportunity to not have to live in poverty and have been indulging. So now I get the opportunity to work it off and get myself back to what I have worked so hard to maintain.

For those who dont know, I have used the FREE page SparkPeople to get myself healthy a few times. Its realistic, safe and tasty recipes! Plus tons of support and ideas, Sometimes to many ideas. If you wanna be my friend my username is magickzzl. This time Im trying the app, which is really easy to use. just type in what you ate and how you exercised and it does the math. My big problem is I love carbs, bread and crackers and Dr. Pepper. I end up eating to many carbs and almost no protein or fats. This means Im extra hungry but maxed out or over on calories. Protein and fat keeps you full ;)

I also am trying to get more exercise. I walk a TON in the city and at work, but not much cardio. I gatta work through my asthma but toally doable. So this is my challenge :)

On Nerdist News, I got a Koi on Neos!! :D I have been wanting one for a while now but their limited edition. but I found a rad website that shows pets in the pound and got my lovely ChattyKelly! the Speckled Koi!!!

So cute!!! :D Also picked up an old Batman game for the PS2, and a random monkey game that was super cheap. I gatta go back to living like a nun, but its been fun not being crazy poor for a little bit.

Coffee and Nerding Out

Incase you havn't noticed... I'm a NERD!! Lol. There is a strange thing going on where nerds are cool now. Some people are going to tell me, "Your cool for being you" "Never care what others think" "Im a giant douche and repeat retarded logic vomited out over years by PBS programs" (Im sorry PBS, I didnt mean to offend you. Special needs community, I am reclaiming Retard for use for people who are volinatrily stupid since you dont use it anymore) But for most of my life I have been deemed "nerd" and mock for it. Mostly I dont care, less caring as I get older. But now with everyone being empowered and what not its super rad to be a nerd. I can openly tell people that as an adult I play Pokemon and Neopets. I got called a hipster recently because one of my favorite songs is mostly unknown (Fader by Temper Trap), and I wasnt sure what to think. In the past people would have said i was weird and need to listen to more mainstream music. I dont like the fact that no one has heard of Temper Trap. Im actually sad, I wish more people knew the song. I enjoy music from some local bands and a lot of oldies too, which i guess doesnt help me case.

But is being a hipster bad?

Im not a hipster. I dont fit into the community which I do find intriguing, thanking them for showering and a little annoying at times. I dont know where I fit in.  Im into punk music (oh Bad Religion, of Mighty Mighty Bostones) and country and rock and everything. I wear Dr. Marten combat boots and converse and new balance. Most of my clothes are paint stained or ready to play with farm animals, then I switch into sun dresses and skirts. I listen to more podcasts then anything and have a minor crush on Adam Carolla. I live with my cats, fish, gerbil and dont have internet or a digital ready TV. So ya....


That got very reflective. Didnt mean for it to go there, but apparently Im super self centered ;) Anywho, have spent the morning ignoring my chores and homework to play neos and download podcasts. Im at local coffee shop, enjoying my newest dark pleasure, a Cool Lime Refresher. Their pretty delightful, not to sweet, low cal and very refreshing. Plus its cafinated, made with a magic green coffee bean elixer which doesnt taste like coffee at ALL. I dont usually promote corporate things but this is GOOD. Im also nibbling on the adorable Champagne Grapes from Trader Joes. Their delightful and on sale right now, not to mention absolutly ADORABLE!!!! Another food recomendation :)


Gentleman Friend and I started working on a creative project last night. Its something we have been joking about a lot lately and jumped into! So once I have some things to show I'll keep you posted. Or as Larry Miller says "You'll be the second to know!" Also coming up, keep and eye out for some changes on the blog layout. I wanna make a banner and show off my creativity. But Im SO LAZY...... lol. But I'll actually do it here in a little bit. Know why? Well, finals are coming and I LOVE making myself insane when Im already busy. And if you play neopets friend me!! Im tangledfeet
