Hi. My name is Samy.
But my friends call me Pikachu. Cous I'm so adorable, obviously. Seriously though, that's pretty much the reason. Pikachu is a tiny adorable pokemon who is always happy, willing to help out, and has a strong will. Just like me. I think there are about 10 people in the whole world who have ever seen me angry, and apart from my mom and maybe my boyfriend, those people only saw it happen once, maybe twice. I'm a very happy person - always smiling and thinking on the positive side. Life is way too short to complain all the time and think negetively. It's also way too short to sit around and do nothing. So you want to read about my life huh? Well, it's pretty hectic. I feel like a real live Superwoman most days, I'm not even sure how I do it all. All what you say? Well, if you've looked around my site you can see that I am an avid crafter. I have a craft room that is chalk full of pretty much any crafting item that you can think of. Serisouly, try me. I love crafting so much, that I turned it into a business. They say to do what you love, and a I love to create. I run my Etsy shop and participate in local craft shows to sell my products. I think that they are awesome. Check out my Etsy shop to see what I've got! Other than crafting for my business, I also craft for fun, it's a great hobby. Besides that I am in college. It's a 2 year technical college, but I love it. I'm working on my Marketing degree (there's the creative thing again!), and I'll be graduating in December and hopefully starting a new career shortly after. The last two semesters I am taking 16 credits per semester. Full time is normally 12 and most people have a hard time handling that, without running a business and working. That's another thing - I work - like a lot. I work as a waitress on the weekends, because I still have to pay rent and buy groceries and stuff like that. I normally work 30-40 hours a week between Thursday and Sunday. That's some long days right there. I've been at my current job for about a year and half now, and it's not too bad. I love being a server, I love being able to talk to people and interact with them.
I do have a little bit of free time in there. On Monday nights I run a Pathfinder group (it's a version of Dungeons and Dragons). I DM for a group that includes my boyfriend and a few friends. It's a blast, but I have a little more work than everybody else being the DM, so that takes up a lot of my time, because I like running campaigns that i come up with, I'm not a huge fan of modules. I also have the crafting thing, and I love reading and going out to do things every so often. I also have pets to take care of! My boyfriend and I have 3 pets - 2 chinchillas and a water dragon (that's a lizard). They are just like kids, they are so spoiled, but I can't help it, they are so adorable! They can be brats though. You wouldn't think that rodents and lizards could learn how to get what they want, or have "looks" and personalities, but believe me, they do. They know exactly what look to give me depending on the treat that they want, or what they want to do. The chinchillas are called Pikachu and Pichu, and the lizard is called Charmeleon. Yup, we are awesome at naming pets. They sure do respond too. We are almost positive that the chinchillas have some sort of electricity resistance or they just absorb it, and Charmeleon actually has a tail whip and everything. They are so amazing, and I love them so much!
I also have a cat, but she still lives with my mom. She's 14 now, so pretty old, but she's still gonna be around for a while. Her name is Sapphire, for a few reasons. Her birthday is in September, which is the sapphire birthstone, she has gorgeous sapphire blue eyes, and she is a blue tipped siamese, so it was just perfect. We've had her ever since she was a year old, and she's been my best friend ever since. We also used to have a dog, her name was Puck. My mom got her for my brother has a graduation present, and he played hockey, so we named her puck since she was all black, with a couple little white spots, so they kind of looked like snow. Unfortunately, we recently lost her due to lymphoma. She was only 3 years old. It was very sad but she will always be my favorite little puppy =). I have pictures of all of them below, so you can see. I love showing them off. I'll add more pictures, stories and videos in posts over time, so you can get to know them just like I do.

The other thing I'm sure you're wondering about right now is this boyfriend I keep talking about. He's pretty amazing as well. We have been together for over 2 years now, and we live together. We are both super nerdy, so we are into the same things, but we have our own things going on as well. We are that awesome couple that everybody is jealous of because of how perfect our relationship is. I promise you'll get to know him better in time too. He's a wonderful boyfriend, and I couldn't have imagined somebody better. I never thought I would ever find somebody so compatible and so perfect for me. He treats me right, and is always there for me. If you think the same, that you aren't ever going to find that person that's right for you, just be patient, and keep waiting just a little longer. They are out there, I promise you.
Well, that's pretty much my life. I didn't really mention too many interests I had. I'm sure you got crafting and animals out of it, those are two major ones. Also, I'm a nerd. If you didn't get that from the whole 'DMing Pathfinder' thing, then here's some more examples. I love Harry Potter. It was the first book I really remember getting interested in. The first book came out when I was like 11 I think, so I absolutely grew up with it. Doctor Who maybe is tied with Harry Potter. I think someday I might just go live in England. Not kidding, that place is apparently awesome. I'm also into everything from Star Wars, to Stargate, to The Big Bang Theory. I love Pathfinder, or Dungeons and Dragons, and Twilight Imperium is an awesome game. I'm into Pokemon, Magic the Gathering, League of Legends, various board games and tons more. I have a lot of Domo-Kun stuff too. I'm honestly not really sure what his deal is, since I don't know Japanese, but I think he's pretty cool.
I do have a little bit of advice for you guys. If there is something you want to do with your life, then do it. I'm not saying it's going to be easy, or instantaneous, but you'll be so mad at yourself if you don't do it. I hear my parents talk all the time about all the stuff they wish they had done, and I don't want to say that when I'm older. For example, I wanted to start my own business. So I did. That's it, I just did. It took a lot of work to do it, and it's not easy to keep it going. As you probably guessed, I don't get a ton of sleep! Haha, that's ok though, I can sleep when I'm dead. Until then, I'm going to live my life to the fullest, and do what I want to. But not in the way that I'm just gonna say whatever I want and steal stop signs and stuff. I'm a dreamer, and I have goals and things that I wanna do. So I'm going to do them. Even if I haven't figured out how, I'll keep trying to find ways. That is my advice to you. If you want something, then go take it. Work hard and don't let the naysayers and obstacles stop you. Use them as leverage to get higher. I'll end with my all time favorite quote, which I have a version of as a tattoo actually, because it's actually helped me so much.
Dance like nobody's watching
Sing like nobody's listening
Love like you've never been hurt
Live like you'll die tomorrow
Laugh until you can't breathe
Dream as if you'll live forever
Much Love
