Hi there!
I am Karen and I’m based in Vancouver and work in the gaming industry.
My blog is a place for me to document my memories and experiences. My life isn’t always exciting — but I think it’s important to romanticize and hold on to the moments that may not be remarkable. You don’t always have to fight for the next big thing. You don’t have to spend four days a week looking forward to the weekend. There is magic in the day to day if you sit back and take a closer look ✨ That’s something I’m actively working towards recognizing anyway!
I’ve always loved stumbling onto other people’s personal blogs. I get this brief glimpse through the window to their life. It’s interesting to see what people do and blog about from different parts of the world. I hope that you get to experience the same thing upon finding my blog.
Who am I? I wish had a better concrete description, but here are some things that make me “me”:
- Dislike hotel pillows. I’d rather sleep flat on the bed without the pillow.
- I hate cucumbers. I have to pick them out of my sushi rolls 🤢
- Thinks it’s a crime to eat Oreos without dunking them.
- Breakfast is the best meal of the day — I’m obsessed with eggs.
- My tear ducts are super liberal in terms of when they activate—a.k.a. anything can set me off crying. Happy tears? Sad tears? Excited tears? Tears from being emotionally touched? Unleash the waterworks.
- Am described as having “big Virgo energy”
But those are only a few things that I feel come to my mind when asked to describe myself. If you think there should be something else there on the list after reading my blog, feel free to drop me a line!

Hey Karen, here’s one you might like: http://www.geeksaresexy.net/2014/03/30/little-girl-wants-to-know-how-to-deal-with-being-called-a-nerd-wil-wheaton-responds-video/
:’) Thank you for showing me this vid! I seriously love Will Wheaton! I saw him live at a convention last year and he spoke out on girls being gamers and getting into the culture that used to be male dominated. Actually felt tears welling up.
You know, I was looking up movie tickets for a showing tonight. I had a question about D-Box and some how after a few clicks, I was here. I’m not complaining by any means. There indeed was something fascinating about seeing the world through your perspective. I enjoyed that even though Vancouver is pretty far from Texas, I could see a commonality in our interests in Film and the philosophy that no Oreo should ever go undunked. To put it gracefully, when ever you may feel alone or different in the world, remember that somewhere out there someone shares the same thought. Breath of fresh air. I hope since this posting you have completed your studies and have made your goal of working in the gaming industry a reality.
Wow thanks for this unexpected message! Really made my day and I’m glad to find an ally in oreo dunking 🙂
As an update I have yet to graduate because I’m doing co-op work terms between my studies and not yet in the gaming industry. But as always, fingers crossed!
Great Blog Karen! I will subscribe to follow along 🙂 P.S. While Oreo dunking is a defiantly plus, have you tried putting the Oreo’s in the fridge? Let them get cold for a while and they are significantly better as a stand alone cookie, although one should be jailed for leaving a cookie to stand alone, eat lots of them 🙂
Hey Chris! Welcome to my blog!!
Okay, I have not tried the Oreo in the fridge thing, but now I have to, with your recommendation. Never even heard of this, but maybe you’ve just introduced me to a new world of Oreo eating.
Karen, I HATE mushrooms too! I hope you’re doing great – maybe we’ll run into each other one day.
