Looking back and ahead

I've done it, after an extended time I've done it,
Me, Jessica, the Amethyst Wildcat and Queen of Games. Graduating with the Class of 2016.  

As you can tell from this picture, I've graduated from CSU Chico. And to be honest it felt weird. The last few semesters had drained my creativity to an all time low. Having to be a defendant in a lawsuit was a nightmare. I wish Phoenix Wright was real.  It's taken Spring '16, which seriously just felt like a semester off. Senior Pictures were a blast, and if anyone is a college senior and reads this,

GET YOUR SENIOR PICTURES DONE!!!! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!

Go onto Facebook and find a photographer who is willing to take them for a reasonable price. My photographer's name was Zach and he is Awesome. I wish him the best.


I officially graduated on New Years Eve 2015 at the very last day of the fall semester.  In January I had my diploma mailed to me. I knew I had to go to Commencement. If only for closure not anything else. I also have my class ring which has the true year I graduated.

My Sensei, (who recommended me to enroll at CSU Chico) went to my graduation and to the celebration dinner at Ojiya in Chico. I would love to go back there, and also to the Chico Kodenkan (my home dojo).


I started this blog for an online class on social media, Keeping it Family Friendly, Tying the game Wizard101 to social media and other selected topics.

Now this blog is my personal blog, I'll still update it whenever the mood hits. This blog had a part in spawning Journey of an Eclipse Chaser. My eclipse chasing blog which doubles as a diary for the 2017 Great American Eclipse!

What the future holds, I have no clue. I signed up to be a beauty consultant with Mary Kay. It's a job atleast. Maybe it'll help my anxiety. who knows?

KIFF:I'm Queen of the... wait, What?... & how does W101 inform the public and gain new wizards? 6/12

Just a note before we begin, the planet Antario was created by my Venture (writing class for dyslexic students) teacher & me way back in 1995. I'm using this as an example of a fictional nation. Also this blog will attempt to stay bias free.  Outside the Spiral More than likely you're fed up with the way things are run in RL (gamerspeak for real life) and think you can do better if you're handed the reins. Or maybe you just want to escape reality and create your own city/world/planet/universe where you are the ruler/deity/sovereign. There are games for that. On Facebook for example, the Zynga games of Pioneer Trail, Castleville, Cityville and any other *.Ville that the red dog logo'd company can come up with, allow the player to create their own virtual "Homestead" (Pioneer Trail), "Kingdom" (Castleville), "City" (Cityville) where with the help of free gifts from neighbors and the friendly NPCs giving you quests to advance the st...

KIFF: gamers can be game-changers, and safety first young wizard 5/12

Just a side note before we begin, any entries that have KIFF: as the first word are part of Keeping it Family Friendly.  This week we'll be in and out of the Spiral. Outside the Spiral Gamers are able to help scientists come up with cures for cancer... there is a game called Foldit  where gamers can use their visual spatial skills, honed by many hours of gaming, to fold proteins. Since diseases and a slew of other organic stuff is made up of protiens, one tiny change in the structure of the protien could alter the molecule and change a disease into a cure. you have to download the client to start playing though. (for more detail please click on the word Foldit, it will take you to the website)   Last year, the horrible earthquake and tsunami attacked Japan. The Zynga game Farmville let you plant Daikon radishes on your farms. Each daikon planted raised money to help the Nihon-jin (Japanese people) it was part of the Japan Earthquake relief event  (n...

KIFF: charting your wizard's history is as easy as dipity dopity do. 3/12

Disclaimer: Kingsisle and Dipity.com are not affiliated with each other. This week we won't focus as much on the game play of Wizard101 but on at least one way to write your character's biography. Wizard101 doesn't require its players to keep bios on their characters. It's a children's card game based game after all. Kids generally don't like to have to keep time-lines or journals on virtual characters. One website that could help is  http://www.dipity.com/   Dipity lets users create timelines about absolutely anything. The dates range from 9999BC to 9999 AD You just input the date an event happened, and any video/pictures that go along with that event. It's similar to the time-line on Facebook. For example, if I were to create a timeline of my first wizard Jessica Starweilder, lvl 70 Storm. event #1: Started playing Wizard101. event #2: Jessica Starweilder is born...  I would keep adding events pertainent to that wrizard's life. The mos...
