In the Beginning....

I started this blog as the piece of me that people can find. I generally don't like to talk about who I am in real life or what I do for a living (not because I'm secretly a ninja or anything as cool as that). I never felt the need to talk about these things. I really didn't want to talk about it. Now I do want to share my knowledge and experience. Now people will find me online, even though I've been using the internet regularly for over a decade.


What to know about me?
I'm an unspecified aged female living in Downtown Los Angeles. I grew up playing video games. I wasn't privileged enough to have a lot of games in my younger years, but I have been making up for it now. I worked in video game retail for a year and half. I then moved on to QA which eventually led to a project manager position. I now currently work as an Associate Producer.


What's with the lame name of this blog?
I grew up playing games with guys. Most of my female friends didn't play games. I also don't get the whole "Girl Power" thing that has been going around. I just want to play, regardless of your gender. Maybe I've grown used to the way some guys are and I can handle them. Maybe I have a high tolerance for some people. Games are about having fun. If, as a girl, you enjoy playing with other girls more power to you, just don't expect me to join you. That doesn't mean I don't play with girls or support more female gamers. In fact I do hope that more women play games. Games aren't only for men or kids. They have many different types for all to enjoy.


The future will hold more. I will discuss more of my past, my experience with games and work. I will probably dive into other topics, since my life doesn't solely revolve around games.
