Sounds like an oxymoron to me!

This post ties in with the one "This takes the cake." about the feminists being mad at the video game. I know, it's still funny! Anyway, doesn't "feminist gamer" sound like an oxymoron to you? It does to me...big time! I mean, there aren't many video games geared towards women. The two most major games in my life, which I had since I was a kid on various systems involved a guy rescuing a princess. Yes, I'm talking about "Super Mario Bros." and "The Legend of Zelda". Two really great games, but they both seem like games that feminists would not like. I don't know, it just really sounds like "feminist gamer" would be an oxymoron. What do you think?

Side note: I still have never beaten "Super Mario Bros."! I've gotten close in my 20 years of playing the game but never fully beaten it! I will have to do that one day! lol ^_^ Ciao!

My Sims: Kingdom

Since I'm on the topic of video games, I cannot wait until "My Sims: Kingdom" comes out! I know it's only a few months from now but I absolutely loved "My Sims"! It was so cool having to find all the essences and making houses and furniture! I hope this one has more character interaction though. The characters in the original always said the same things! And, even then, that's where the interaction ended. A little boring there but everything was so much fun! I also hope they have more places to move people too! I ran out so quickly once I unlocked everything! I signed up for the mailing list. Haven't heard anything yet but hopefully soon! That's all for now! Ciao!

This takes the cake! (pun intended) ^_^

This has got to be the funniest news story ever! Feminists are mad at a new game called "Fat Princess"! Why? I guess because they have nothing else to complain about this week! No, seriously, I think it's because the character is fat. It's stupid though. They complain when all the female characters are super-thin w/ big boobs and now they are complaining because she's fat. HELLO?!?!?!?! IT'S A GAME!!! I mean, come on! It's not real! It just makes all females look like whiny bitches and we're not! Go feminists, go find something important to bitch about and then maybe, just maybe, men and smart females will take you seriously! Until then, shut up and eat some cake yourselves!

Btw...I'm a girl and I find this story absolutely hilarious! Also, if you click on the title, you can check out the news story yourself! Ciao!

Another new thing!

One of my 2008 resolutions was to read more! Books not just magazines! So, I found this list of the 100 Greatest Novels of all time and started reading them! I've read 2.5 so far!

Animal Farm - technically I read this in grade school but I found it boring and I remember it, so I'm not reading it again. Four legs good, two legs bad! See? I know it!

Sons and Lovers - I didn't care much for this book. It wasn't bad but I didn't like the ending!

Tender is the Night - This is the one I'm reading now! I really like it! It's about this actress and her relationship to a couple. The guy is a psychiatrist and is married to one of his ex-patients. So, he can't leave his wife but has feelings for this girl. It's really good! Pretty racy stuff for 1934! I'm almost done so now on Monday I can get a new one!

I know 100 books seems like a lot but you can get all these books from your library and it doesn't cost you a dime! You can enrich your mind and save money all at the same time! What a deal!

Along w/ my exercising journey I will post about the books I'm reading too!

Also, if you click on the title of the post it will bring you to the list of books just in case you feel like reading more! There's two lists...I'm doing "The Board's List". Ciao!

Time for a serious change!

One of the biggest changes of the past year has been my weight and unfortunately I don't mean that in a good way! I always talk about losing weight and doing nothing about it but it is now time for a serious change! I am thinking about exercising all the time! It started about 2 nights ago when I was laying in bed. My mind was way too tired but my body just wanted to move! So, I decided that I'm gonna start writing about my journey here! I'm not gonna post my weight but I will say that I am someone who really needs to lose weight! Really! I honestly don't even know my weight...I take my measurements once a month and that is bad enough! I will post my inches lost though! I'm hoping that this will help me to reach my goal 'cause nothing else is! Who knows, maybe it will help someone else too! So, I'm starting on Monday and we will see from there! Wish me luck! Ciao!

What a long time!

It has litterally been over a year since I last wrote! Some things have changed, some haven't. A year is a long time so I'm not going to go into detail...just start anew! So, hello once again!
