Welcome to [insert whatever the current world name I like is here] :p Now that we got that out of the way... My name is Crystia and I'm a College Student & Woman's Crisis Center Volunteer. I'm currently working on getting a Ph.D. [yes I didn't say what, there's a reason for that and no I most likely won't answer if asked] Anyway, my intention is to continue as a therapist and work with victims of domestic violence and with couples for marriage counseling. One word of advice upon entering here, this is my personal retreat. I do not offer any form of online services in my chosen field so please don't ask.

For those of you who don't know me; I'm a Senior Moderator over at OtakuBoards I joined here back in 2005, starting with the first blogging site myOtaku and then migrating over to OtakuBoards shortly after that. I tend to spend most of my time at OtakuBoards but I do like to come here mainly for friends and blogging occasionally. But in truth, I'm rarely here. Though who knows? Perhaps with the new version I just might stick around more often, other than checking up on friends that is. Heh.

Anyway, feel free to drop me a line if you want to say hello. Just keep in mind that as a college student, it might take me a day or two to get back to you. As much as a week even since sometimes I only sign in on the weekends, it just depends on how busy I am. If you want a more immediate response, then pm me over at OtakuBoards as I always log in over there every day. User name: Indi. :p See you all around - maybe.

I'm Still Alive

I know I haven't been around as much lately. Most of you already know that I've been working like crazy to finish up my thesis. In some ways having no classes so I can focus on it has been a good thing. I've literally been working it like a job. Some days I've spent close to ten hours going over stuff and making sure all of my material is clearly presented. The bad thing is I end up being too tired mentally to care about doing much online.

I'm excited to be so close though. If all goes well this week will be my last super busy one. Then all I'll have is work a few times a week until I go full time in the fall. Anyway, you could say this post is just me saying I'm not planning on vanishing on you all. I have too many things I'm a part of that I want to see through. :p

People Are Stupid

Want to know what ticks me off at times? People who continue beating a dead horse, especially one that resulted in harassment of fellow members. It also pisses me off even more when others, who weren't there first hand, tell those who were harassed that they are taking it too seriously.

The fact that this is the Internet and that there is something worse out there, never excuses juvenile behavior. Want to know what I'm talking about? Well it's like this: Maybe I'll explain later, Maybe I won't.

P.S. This deal where post boxes just keep expanding, is annoying.

Ever Dream

So I was going to write a post... But then I remembered that I don't mix my career with my online activities. I crossed that line a bit recently and I was reminded of why I don't. I'm not going to explain other than to mention a saying ar...
