My name is Chrisy and I'm a 25 year old born-and-raised Virginian surviving in Phoenix, Arizona since August 2006. I have been a self proclaimed nerd for the past decade, wasting away the majority of my youth in front of a computer. If I'm not playing World of Warcraft then I'm watching movies, playing the Wii, or obsessing over my 2 cats. I am currently employed as a Data Entry Specialist for a payment service company with the goal one day becoming a Database Administrator.

I have been leaving footprints on the internet since the winter of 1997. In it's early stages, during my late teens, my relationship with this website was an unhealthy obsession that I couldn't live without. As an adult it has been an agonizing struggle not to neglect this patch of the world wide web. This site generates so little traffic that it has become something I do for my own entertainment, so the fact that someone is actually reading this would be surprising.

For my 2008 New Year’s Resolution I’ve decided to deviate from my usual “lose weight” or “reach X financial goal” and try something a little different. So, to make it official, here it is in writing:

I will post at least 1 entry to this website every 3 days. The content of these posts can be anything – they can be like my usual lengthy entries, be short blog-like snippets, or even just a picture with a caption. Anything will work as long as it’s something more than nothing. The only excuses I can have for not posting will be illness, vacations, or lack of access to a computer.

I chose this resolution as a way to once and for all decide where I stand with this website. I have managed to keep it online since 1999, I continue pay for it monthly, and at least once a day I think about writing or designing something for it… yet I have done nothing but neglect it for the past few years. I feel guilty about doing that, especially since this website helped me keep my sanity as I stumbled through the most difficult times of my young adulthood. As I turn 25 and start to head down another path in my life I feel the need to express myself again… but it’s been a struggle to get myself started. A post here, one there, and another one 6 months later isn’t good enough; I need more. So, this is my way of giving myself a measurable goal and seeing if I can accomplish it. It’s now or never again.

Can I do it? Sure I can. But will I? That is what I'm looking forward to finding out.

A new layout will be up shortly, once I decide how simple or complicated I want it to be.
