Have Yourself a Geeky Little Christmas
I’m sure many of you still have The Force Awakens on your mind (as I do), but I just wanted to take a quick second to wish everyone a very merry Christmas! I’m so grateful to be in good health these past two weeks and even more grateful to be able to spend Christmas with my family.

Round 1 – Fight!
Don’t let the Street Fighter shout out fool you, because today is a very big day. I thought I was done with the hard part, but I think my fight is just beginning.

Cosplay for a Cure
*UPDATE! Thanks to your votes, the store is now open here! Order away!!* If there’s anything “good” about having cancer or being sick, it’s realizing how many people care about you. Just when I was feeling very accepting of my situation and feeling like I was ready to share my situation with the internets, in came a flood of responses to my last post. Many of you shared your own personal struggles with your health as well as experiences caring for loved ones and…
