I'll never get sick of arts & crafts...


So it's no secret that the Mister and numerous friends of mine are avid Starcraft 2 players. I'll be the first to admit--- I suck at it. Immensely. While it's all about APM, and building units and taking your opponent down all in, I'm THAT PERSON that just bides my time collecting minerals and creating Void Rays so I can "see the pretty things fly."

Hey--- I could've lied and made exaggerated claims about how I was trained by KeSPA kids. Oh they have the prettiest hair...

ANYWAY

Short end of a drawn out tale--- I don't play Starcraft. BUT what if I could put my own angle to it? What if I did something fun with Starcraft for not just the player, but the whole family?

Operation: Pylong, Marine, and Baneline are a go! Well they'll be a go, once I go to the craft store and the supermarket. But you'll see an updated post soonish! (trademark)

Making my mark.... of the wild

So the house is nice and empty. This Mister is getting ready for dinner with his Pops which leaves me with some free time to catch up on this here blog. What's been going on as of late? Well....






Shazam! I finally leveled a toon complete from 1-85! (That's not to say I didn't do the same on my DK, but she started at 55. ^_^) Little Miss Talicara dinged 85 last weekend with the help of the love, and some awesome folks sticking by me just cheering me on for support. Funny enough, she dinged 85 after she died in a buggy quest in Twilight Highlands, but hey---- I got er' done.

We dived straight into PvP so I could wear my pretty crafted gear set Logan made for me and did a few dungeons as well to rack up some Justice Points for her transmog, as well as pick up some honor to start getting her PvP set into the fold. I still have a ways to go on her but in a weeks' time she's got 4pc Tier 9, the "Starcaller" title, a 10M Ulduar proto drake, a maxed out skinning profession (which I'll explain in detail in a future post), and.... well sheer awesomeness.

I wish I had more to say at the moment which in due time I will, but in the meantime that's what's up with me. What have you been doing to prepare for Mists of Pandaria? :)

Adding a little more Sailor Moon into my world...

If anyone knows me, they know that my life is very much absorbed in Sailor Moon. In a discussion with some guildies I stumbled upon this, and lost my mind. Mind. Lost.






Available for the iPhone, I can now pretend I have a Teletia S of any of the core Sailor Scouts. Feel free to peep them out and a lot of other Sailor Moon iPhone cases HERE!

The couple that games together, stays together.

Alright. I've lasted long enough into a second post. That's gotta say this one's a keeper right?

Last night as per the norm, the Mister and I did something I never expected we'd do. Hmm.... let me preface this with a little backstory. One day with enough interest from readers I'll be sure to give the full story in detail:

For those who don't know about me and the Mister, we met in World of Warcraft (really, that's not the surprising part.) The catch to this relationship? Well we live 2,500 miles away from each other; he's in Arizona and I am in New York. It's been that way for the last seven months, but we're confident that it won't be that way forever as the plan is for me to move to Arizona in 2013 (I'm doing it for the In N' Out.... OH AND FOR HIM TOO!) The distance can be rough at points for both of us since behind closed doors we are that EXTREMELY MUSHY couple, but I wouldn't change a thing about it. That man has my heart and he treats me like a Moon Princess. No one in this world could hold a candle to him when it comes to my love. :)

So back on to the story shall we? So last night as per the norm me and him were chatting on FaceTime following podcast recording when he asks, "Hey Ali---- have you ever seen your toon as a Figureprint?" Honestly I think I've peeped it out once or twice, but nothing seriously. Making up my toon as a FP bust online we looked through some sets for me, and some for him when we finally settle on what we'd want our figures to look like. Then he throws the curveball.

Him: Baby, I found my Figureprints gift card.
Me: Aww yay! Did you finally figure out what you were going to do?
Him: Yeah. I want to make a bust of each of us so we can put them together once we move in.
Me: What? Like a couple's present or something?
Him: Exactly. I've been thinking about this for a few days and I'm jazzed to do this! Let's order them!

And we did. We decided that once we settled on a place we'd call our home, we'd mount these bad boys in either a glass case display or make a section in a bookshelf that resembles our secret spot in Wintergrasp (see below)




So yeah! Our first couples present. I'm excited and find it to be the sweetest gesture. In just a few weeks (or maybe months) we'll have these fun little figures ready for a house we'll call our home. :)

First post...

I was told by a loved one that I have too many blogs dedicated to too many things and need to consolidate into one. Thus here is my single entity.


.... tits. That is all.
