Well hello everyone! I hope everyones 2015 is going swell, totally did not realize how long it has actually been since i wrote a blog...wow it's been a long time. I am a bit sad I missed BaD...I actually forgot about it being in February but I forgot a lot of things during February because it was a seriously busy month for me. I'll remember for next year though!
Life since i wrote my last blog has changed a lot for the better. It has been very eventful as well.
First off thank you again everyone for the kind words on my situation I was going through, it was a very rough month of very bad anxiety and I just seriously went to a place I never thought I would go to. I was honestly driving myself crazy with the way I was thinking and I just didn't want to do anything. Work was my get away but it was just getting back home and then negativity just consumed me. Finally I just had enough and decided to start going to therapy because I was tired of being miserable and hating myself (which I have always had a negative image about myself) and I just wanted to be happy. I just couldn't do it on my own like I thought I would be able to do. I have also started eatting better, currently I am on weight watchers to help me diet better and exercising more as well, which I feel is helping and I have lost, since February 2nd, a total of 6.5lbs (could be more this coming Sunday though!) and I am so proud of myself for actually sticking with it. Granted I need to get back into the exercising since I am just getting over a cold, I was too miserable to work out for a week, but I am at least I get myself back into unlike the old me where I would never do that and be all meh eventually.
We also decided to work things out but I refused to go back to how things were and told him I want to start off as just boyfriend/girlfriend and if he wants to marry me he can repropose, but I am not going to wait forever for that to happen. Things between us have improved a lot, we're talking more, playing games together, watching movies, etc. When it starts to get nicer out were going to this race track in CT that opens in May which I am pumped about and we're planning a little vacation to get away for the summer. So it's just nice to see things getting better, and it could just be me that thinks things are better because I am trying to avoid that conversation about how he feels for now since it's only been a month and a few days of us being back together.
Over all though I am happier with myself than I have ever been!
I have also been very busy planning my friends bridal shower which is coming along nicely, I cannot wait for it to be finished with in April though. Work was also super busy last month but it's a little slow right now; I honestly don't mind the break of only working on one project. Although I will say I can't wait to be done with the one I am on right now because I get micromanaged to the extreme and I get treated like everything I do is not correct. It's annoying but I tell myself I am doing what I am suppose to do and she can buzz off. Basically I am just gonna cc her on every email I send and give updates as soon as something happens but update her before requesting info. It's a furstraiting list of things I need to remember to do with this person so I don't get my head bit off. Other than that I love my job, it's been great.
In other news I have of course been gaming when I can. First game I beat for the new year was Super Mario Bros WiiU. I have also completed Shadow of Mordor, Dead Island, and 10,000,000. Currently I am working through Dead Island Riptide and planning to do a run through of the main Dragon Quest Series DQI - IX. I was bought as a late Birthday/Valentines gift the NES versions of 2,3,4 which I am so excited for and was not expecting. I love them so much more on the NES than off the GBC or DS. Granted I will be playing V and VI off the DS, but I would play them off the SNES in Japanese if I knew how to read Japanese since they are dirt cheap. So that's going to be an exciting thing! I am thinking of keeping a journal record while playing the DQ games to write a long series of where I am and such. I think it might be a pretty cool project.
I am also building my new computer! I got my awesome case in yesterday and buying my new motherboard tomorrow. Once that comes in I am gonna move everything into the new computer on the new motherboard and in April I am going to eventually buy a new CPU. I am planning to get an Intel 7 becasue I actually want to try Twitch streaming, or some sort of streaming. I do not want to do it for the money or populatiry but for the enjoyment of playing games and interacting with people. I think it'll be pretty fun, not easy, but fun none the less. I want to get capture cards as well to stream consoles so I don't have to use emulators. That's a little ways away my streaming days, but I know I'll have a computer that will be able to handle it once I get to that. Maybe I'll try YouTube first? Not sure yet but I know it's something that has become a growing interest of mine. I put a picture of my new case! I can change the LED lights on it with a button, but it reminded me of a retro R2D2.
I started new crafting things as well! I have a cross stich project in the works of the mario bro characters (photo below). I am almost done with Luigi, I haven't worked much on it. I recently finished a Latch Hook Panda and I still need to work on a Toad perler for my friend and I am going to make something else for him as well to ship them out in July for his birthday. These are just a few things I have going on, but more project may pop up know me!

I have been watching anime every now and then as well, trying to finish up some Fall and Winter animes still before the spring ones come out. Which I have to look into since I have no clue what animes are planning to be release for the Spring season!
Which brings me to my final point: THANK GOODNESS SPRING IS PRACTICALLY HERE!!!!!!! I love Spring, it's my favorite season next to Fall. I have been waiting for the warmer weather and I am so ready to hit the beach within the next few days just to walk along it before it officially opens. Also Camping! I love camping and cannot wait to start that up with my friends this year!
Nice to hear from you and i'm glad everything got sorted out. Nice job on the crafting!
Thanks! I hence dropped that crafting, I am still working on it but have not for the past couple of weeks.
I'm glad you seem to be out of the anxiety darkness. I was there in Fall 2013 and am very glad I sought help.
I hate being micromanaged too, but good luck with everything.
Nice to see you're up to some gaming and that R2D2 looks sweet.
Thank you! It was just a bad time. I still have moments every now and then still but I figured it's always a messy middle while you're still working on it and you can only get so good at stopping it every so often from attacking.
I wish I had more time to get into more gaming though for sure!
I knocked out 2 of the 3 DS DQ games not that long ago. Only 1 more to go.
Nice! I am still getting through the first one. I honestly wish I had a vacation where I didn't have plans to just plow through these games!
great to hear from you! I'm glad things are going so well!
I'm not sure if I have what it takes to play those first three DQ games, but when I was a kid I had Dragon Warrior and I thought it was SO cool.
I'm hoping to get a new PC this year in time for VR and Star Citizen.
Thanks!!! It's taking me awhile to get through them. I am actually still getting through the first one but this is due to time and having to fight for the tv where the NES is.
I am still saving up some money to get my new processor and I am hoping my new PC will be built by May.
Good to hear from you again. Hope you are doing well and we get to hear from you more in the future.
Thanks! I am hoping once I get some free time I will be posting more!
That cross-stitch project looks neat!
Thanks! I have since I posted this not got back to it for awhile haha
