I have a special place in my heart for Guild Wars 2, there is something magical about it, something wonderful. I can go back to the same areas over and over again and still be in awe. Guild Wars 2 inspires me, whenever I am feeling all out of creativity all I have to do is long in. The maps are huge, and I don't just mean maps like Lornar's Pass. I mean vertically. Especially the Heart of Thorns maps, you can tilt your camera up from the bottom and it feels like you are looking up forever and these ginormous. I remember being under the Shadow Behemoth in beta and thinking wow, being in awe at the scale of the boss, it was intimidating to say the least. As we should have been he definitely beat us up lol. I just always thought this entrance was cool XD. I'm really glad Arenanet added a Launch Pad by it! I cannot tell you how many hours I've spent dyeing my armor but it is a lot. (I spent a little bit of time before writing this just to pick these dyes lol). It is one of the things I love to do. Getting to mix and match and create my own outfits, be able to dye them, and attach an awesome glider to it all. It brings back the creativity for me. And Tarir, this has to be one of my favorite Heart of Thorns areas. It is magical, even if it makes my computer lag from being so shiny it is one of the coolest places. There are so many more places I could post pictures of but it would make this blog very very long XD. The is a sense of magic in Guild Wars 2 one that I have never felt playing any other game and it inspires me not only because of the beauty of the game itself but because of the kindness of the community (along with many other things like the legendary journey, the gathering, the game play itself, you have no idea how much I like to move and cast, gliding, I love gliding so much there is so much freedom, but at the same time no afk flying (you will die if you do that lol), the music, sometimes I leave Guild Wars 2 open just to listen to the music while doing other things, and so many more things :)). It is my place of peace, the perfect world to go to and just relax. CategoriesAll Crochet Guild Wars 2 League Of Legends Life World Of Warcraft

I have a special place in my heart for the three main games I play. World of Warcraft, Guild Wars 2, and League of Legends. Each one has added something to my life that I don't know who I would be without. World of Warcraft was there for me when my life was falling apart. When I was in high school I had a lot of miserable things happen to me between my Ex and my asthma I ended up left with no real life friends. I felt pretty lost but before this had happened I started playing World of Warcraft. I had to finish high school online because of how bad my asthma had gotten (and because of a particular set of girls who were intentionally giving me asthma attacks by putting on perfumy stuff because they didn't like me). And after a lot of almost deaths in my family or actual deaths I wasn't in a great place mentally. I felt like I had nothing and clung to my anorexia because it was the only thing I could control. My one shining light in all of this was World of Warcraft. I ended up finding friends (not great ones to start but they were better than nothing, and they led me to some great friends). They ended up leaving to play Aion and left me in charge of the guild. They had told me they were going to come back so to take care of it. And that is what I did, I added people and then became friends with them. They became some of my best friends, slowly each of these people helped to pull me out of the darkness I was living in. Slowly I started moving forward. Dalaran became my home, my sanctuary, my hid away, and my resurrection, it brought back the life in me, and gave me something to live for. Even though it was dark and ominous, this is how Icecrown always felt to me. It was full of joy and happy memories. Talking with friends, dailies, and lots of gathering. I don't think any of these people know how much they truly impacted my life but they did in such a way I don't think words could ever explain. They gave me hope. Slowly all of this evolved into me joying another guild and my guildies going over to that one. And finally it got me to the point of meeting my boyfriend. He has truly helped me. I got over being anorexic because of him (I didn't see a psychologist or anything for it although I probably should have). And he made me see that I didn't have to be unhappy. For a long time I believed that I both deserved to be unhappy and was only beautiful when I was unhappy (I used to write some pretty dark poems/stories that were good but full of pain). And finally I started to see the light again. I got to this point because of this wonderful game, I'm not even sure if I would be here without it (when I felt like I had nothing I was suicidal). People may say that you can't have "real" friends if you haven't met them in person, but I have found that statement is false. The truest friends I have ever had were online. I have a special place in my heart for World of Warcraft because it gave me hope, it gave me friends, and it gave me my life back. And I am truly grateful for this. CategoriesAll Crochet Guild Wars 2 League Of Legends Life World Of Warcraft The other day I was doing ranked in League of Legends with my boyfriend and we were on a losing streak. Even though we were doing well bottom lane we just couldn't compete with the fed Riven, Fizz, Vi ect... It was just one of those days where the middle, jungle, or top lane were feeding like crazy. We lost a bunch of games and this one was going to be the one where I would get demoted if I lost it, but I didn't we finally won one! I was over here doing a happy dance and even though I lost a bunch of games I didn't lose the one that really mattered. The one that would make it so I had to go through promos all over again. Normally, people aren't exciting about winning one game when they've lost so many, its more of a meh experience, but that just isn't me. I find joy in so many little things, and when it comes down to it isn't life really made up of those little moment, the happy one that bring everything together. I look at so many things as presents, gathering nodes in Guild Wars 2, going into an old raid (or new one) in World of Warcraft and ending up with a piece of transmog gear (even when it wasn't the thing I went in there for). Making a good play in League of Legends or getting play of the game in Overwatch (or not getting play of the game but knowing I saved the game with that rez) ect... The amount of joy I get from eating one of these delicious masterpieces is pretty amazing (& I don't even eat a whole one in one sitting usually just half or less XD). Things like someone being very nice to me on twitter, getting a nice/good review on Etsy, making something, starting with a ball of yarn & crochet hook and ending up with an amigurumi (plushie) or gaming gloves ect..., then getting to someones reaction when they get the item. All of it, there are so many little things to be joyful about in any given day. Little victories that add up to a life time of happiness. If I've learned nothing else in life, that would be fine because I know that something doesn't have to be big to be wonderful. That joy is about counting your blessings and feeling the love. That even in your worst day there will be someone there for you (I include animals in someone) and that things will always look up again. Trust me I have been through some pretty terrible experiences (parents almost dying, decent amount of other family actually dying, anorexia, abuse from ex's ect...) even though those things sucked, I am stronger because of them, and I am able to see so many more wonderful things happening everyday. Always look for those little things. Those wonderful things and today will be a good day :)
12/6/2016 0 Comments Criticism and GamingThese two things seem to go together like peas in a pod, but instead of constructive criticism it is usually just name calling and harassment. Which while I believe being in crappy situations make people stronger (I know from being bullied that I am stronger than I was). Name calling and harassment don't change anything. They certainly won't fix the behavior that is making the harasser upset. If anything it usually makes the behavior worse (like someone feeding in League of Legends getting harassed about it and ending up feeding more).
