I am become Overwatch/Event Post: HaVen: Saints & Sinners

The last couple months my life has existed in a circle. Schoolwork, Overwatch, sprinkled with the occasional babysitting gig. With the fucked up things in the world getting "lost" in that amazing game with friends I love is just the right medicine. It's given me something good to concentrate on. And it feels good to be good at something again. I've actually considered joining the Overwatch League if I get the chance to. I will have to try my best. I play with a group of friends most nights of the week between 9pm and midnight or so if anyone wants to join, contact me however you know how and we'll exchange Battle.net tags.

Earlier this month on the 5th (remember remember...?) I participated in my fourth Extra-Life event. I stayed up for nearly 24 hours playing and streaming video game to raise money for children's hospitals. My goal was to raise $100, I ended up with $108 exceeding my goal! By the end of that first day of fundraising in total across all fundraising efforts, it was around $7 million. I forget what the current number is at but they are accepting donations all the way through December 31st so if you have any extra money and are feeling generous send a donation here. If you want to watch some of the fun times that were had you can check the playlists on this Youtube channel. Warning, when the videos were uploaded from Twitch the orders were messed up and some parts were deleted. Apologies if some things don't make sense.

My birthday was the 19th. It wasn't a "special" one or anything. I turned 29. To celebrate I'm heading to HaVen: Saints & Sinners with my good pal Sawtooth. The outfit I'll be wearing is this nice lacy black dress with rose patterns all over it. I have a nice black rose choker to wear around my neck and my favorite skull earrings. Since it will be cold I'll be wearing these long fingerless gloves and this nice black poncho sort of thing. Just in case I'm still cold, a cloak. I've posted a picture on my Instagram.

Seeya next time I post!
