    Player Chronicle -- Posted on Mar 23 2008

    So a lot of things have happened as of late and some I'm more excited about than others. First on the agenda is the fact that I have been able to play a lot more games recently..YAY! My main obsession has been pokemon games including: playing through Pearl, training in Diamond, kicking butt in FireRed/LeafGreen and blowing trainers/leaders away in Pokemon Battle Revolution. So much pokemon has caused my latest art block to subside and I have to say I'm totally excited for it. I haven't been able to draw a decent piece of art in almost 4 months..such a waste of my talent..I guess I have been doubting my abilities in artwork as of late. I just don't feel up to par with most of the new and upcoming artist out there. But I know that will change as long as I keep at it.

    Another interesting development is that I received a "call back" from the people at G4TV. I should be totally excited but I can't say that I am...I mean I know most gamers would LOVE the opportunity to not only be on TV but being able to talk about the thing you love..Gaming! But after the whole voting ordeal was over I literally sat down one day and got to thinking..do I really want it that bad? So many girls showed their catty side, I admit to doing it but only in defense of girls trying to tarnish my friends to their advantage, and I realized that its what most people do in any part of the entertainment industry..step all over people to make your way to the top..but I'm just not like that. I absolutely LOVE my job at GameGirl.com- though I don't get paid for it right now they do send us free games so I have to say that I am quite happy for that-- and I love writing about games and the gaming industry because they are one of my passions. But do I REALLY want to be apart of what I think of the "dark side" of the industry? They will try and change you into what they deem is right, instead of your true personality shining through all people will see is what they want them to see. I don't know if I want to be apart of that. In the beginning yes I thought the opportunity would be amazing but in the end is it worth it? I'm constantly having to deal with this inner struggle all while waiting until April 10th when I have my phone interview..we will see how that goes.....keep you guys updated on that.

    Lastly I have decided to drop from competitive gaming. It was fun while it lasted but the money you spend out of pocket is just not worth it when you have a team that doesn't commit or you have to deal with the egotistical jackasses that surround the competitive gaming circuit, I'm not just calling out the guys there are girls that have big egos as well, and I'm just sick of it. I will be attending two events this year to cover a girls team that I will be keeping track of this season for GameGirl.com so keep an eye out for articles and videos on that.

    But that is all the highlights that have been going on in my little part of the world. For those of you who actually read this VERY long rant thanks! Also I want to game with more people so please add me on my GG Miz Calamity tag, that is a brand new tag because I'm currently not accepting any requests on my main tag but that tag will be getting changed soon so stay posted and if you add me you will know when it gets changed so that you don't remove me =]. Thanks for reading this rant!

    Hope your interview goes well! What segment will you be featured on? Btw the dark side is just a hokey religion anyway, what is there to fear!? lol
