Inside Kimmy's Mind

I’ve always had a love for writing and reading, I don’t think I could be who I am if I didn’t. But it wasn’t until I reached the fourth grade that I discovered this fact about myself.

So yeah, I own a Nook Color. The weirdos gave it to me, I have been reading a book on it for pleasure and one for class. And let me just say how satisfying it was to push that confirm button and end up with a book before me…it was 2 in the morning. I should admit this now, but I am horribly addicted to online shopping. Thank goodness I don’t have any credit cards or I’d be in serious trouble. I enjoy ordering things online it’s the waiting process that I hate…anyway. So of course the ability to purchase a book in my pajamas and get it within minutes is pretty awesome. Also, I can watch Netflix…that has nothing to do with books or reading but is still is pretty awesome. Not to mention I can carry multiple books with me. This is great for school…minus the part where I can’t sell any books back. But let’s be honest, I’m lucky if I get five bucks back for the novels I buy for lit classes. Some teachers want me to get certain versions of the books so I won’t be able to use the Nook but for the ones I can it will be nice. This does not mean nor will it ever mean that I will stop buying hard copies of books. Nothing could ever stop me from that. Click the books or the, I pledge to read the printed word button on my sidebar. Speaking of books, I have tons of things to read at the moment but last week I picked up the book, The Underachiever’s Diary and I’m loving it so far. Bought it at Half Price for a dollar. Love Half Price. And it’s moments like these that I will always enjoy buying and reading the printed word.

Nook or Kindle? How do you feel about Ereaders, or books for that matter? Also, if you’re in Houston in the month of April then you must come to The Indie Book Fest. If you’re a bookstore owner, self published author or small press owner and are interested in getting a table I can also help you with getting you on the right list, let me know. Just shoot me an email at Kim at mind-speaks dot com.

Kellie over at Give a Girl a Blog started a really cute Currently segment over at her blog. So naturally, I decided to take part in it as well. 😀 She is one of my favorite scrapbookers. I’m always in the mood to create after visiting her blog and her current post totally inspired me. So here I am reporting what I’m currently working on…or attempting to work on. >.< … continue reading this entry.

So I went a little crazy at Micheal’s the other day. I couldn’t help myself, I saw all these stamps for a 1.50 and just had to buy them. I mean look at that adorable typewriter stamp. I love typewriter stamps and this one just so happens to be a Valentine theme. I bought three Valentine stamps, so now I intend to make Valentine cards. Maybe add a cute lollipop or some type of candy to show the people I love how much I love them. Who knows? I also bought a button puncher. I love it! It makes a great embellishment for cards, scrapbooking, even gift wrapping. I’ve been wanting it and the cute tag puncher as well, but decided on this one. I feel very crafty right now.

So on Monday, the weirdos and I went to another Gaymer’s Handheld meeting. It was so much fun, got my ass kicked in a few Pokemon battles but at least I had fun losing.

Half of the restaurant was taken over by nerds with board games and handheld gaming devices. It was amazing. Not only were the friends that I made last time there but I befriended a few new ones and even invited another friend to join in on the fun. Here we are playing a game of Mario Kart. I never made it past 5th place, damn turtle shells. Of course my alter ego, Randall, made it to first place after I handed over his ds. But seeing as he is part of me I technically won. Go me!  I gained a few new miis, which is always exciting, however I was stuck in a poison room, in the find mii game, and lost the chance to use any of them to move onward because none of them were the right color. But I did gain puzzle pieces so I should keep that in mind. That is important.

Ginger also gave my sisters and I awesome bracelets for Christmas. She is just so freaking amazing. They are similar to this and another amazing thing about it is that she made them in our favorite colors  by chance. She knows us! 😀 Do you know how hard it is to find like minded people? After you are lucky enough to find said people it’s always nice when you actually become friends with them. That’s how it was when we all met Ginger. And now we are meeting awesome gaming people thanks to these hangouts. I should take more pictures, but I always tend to forget when I’m having fun. I look forward to hanging out with everyone again. 🙂 So Thursday is my mom’s birthday. My sister’s and I are still trying to figure out what to get her. Sadly I won’t be able to see her until Sunday, if her and my dad come back from their weekend away. I’m hoping to see them both because classes start next Monday and that means I’ll be back in Houston. I’m a bit sad about this, but then I’m also a bit glad. All I’ve been doing is eating and sleeping. I’m getting tired of being lazy and I need some type of schedule to follow. -.-Bring on the stress of studying, reading and writing.

Ok. It’s later than I thought it was. Damn SVU for distracting me. >.< I’m going to lay down, knit for a bit and then get some sleep. Night.

It is almost 2013. By the time I push publish it will be 2013…2013 how weird.

2012 was a pretty good year, minus the part where my dad fell and injured himself.  I went to Boldface for the first time and loved it, minus the heart breaking part. But I don’t even regret that part, I learned a lot about myself and what I want out of life and I don’t regret learning that. My family and I also spent the year getting ready for my sister’s wedding and it was amazingly beautiful. (glad it’s over and done with :P) Totally worth all the stress though.

You know what, I don’t really have anything else to say besides HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I hope everyone is having a wonderful New Year so far and gets safely home after they finish drinking and partying it up. I myself spent NYE with my wonderful family playing games and eating a bunch of sweets. :9 I might regret that last part later but for now I am happy. So here are some instagram pics and stuff!!!

Song of the night is The Leave Behind by this guy. I love this song. How did you spend New Years Eve? I hope you had/ are having fun.
