Ambermist over at Tastes Like Battle Chicken challenged us this month to reveal a little about ourselves this month, and I’ve decided to participate. I mean, it’s not like I’m some secret identity, if you armory Elunamakata, well…it’s me, so far I’m the only crazy person to name myself after a Lion King song.
Well let’s see…I am a Gamer, but I’m also a Mother. I call my kids Forkie (there’s a story to that, but it’s a post in itself) and Miss Priss online, because, really, they’re not even 13 yet, so their names remain anonymous to random people on the interwebs. My husband is not named Kurby in real life, nor Kurt, but we met in World of Warcraft, and his character is named Kurby. A lot of people thought his name really was Kurt for a long time because…well, we’re dorks and I call him that in real life sometimes. His mother was thoroughly confused the first time he called me Caresse in front of her..(my priest’s name and my 2nd main!) Eluna is actually my 4th Main, and my 3rd healing main.
I have Diabetes…yes this:
And it really is some serious business. I’m still learning how to manage it, but I’m willing to joke about it as well. Because of this, I’ve been trying to lose weight to make it easier for the Diabetes to be manageable. Trust me, it’s not an easy thing.
So that’s a little more about me! Oh, and my favorite color is blue and I like sea-turtles. Am I doing it right? ;-)

Totally doing it right!
My husband had Type 2 Diabetes for years and years. When he got his weight down to a certain point, it actually went away entirely. It definitely helps make it more manageable (and you totally got this!).
P.S. I love sea turtles. >.>
I’ve had it for about two and a half years, they caught it super early when I was basically borderline, but, I didn’t change my lifestyle and now it’s a little worse (I don’t have to take insulin yet). My hardest part is losing weight, I swear I can eat 2500 calories and stay the same exact weight as if I were eating 1500 calories and burning more!
It is lovely to find out more about the person behind the keyboard! I hope that the management of it is going ok (hubby is a diabetes specialist – a nightmare when I had gestational diabetes i tell you!). So, do you have a sea-turtle mount? I hope you do since you love them so much!
I do have the sea turtle mount! I fished for 3 days to get it a few months ago!
Whenever I see your name on twitter/when I’m reading your blog/comments you make on other people’s, I can hear that song playing and it brightens up my day.
Also I’m totally nosy so I love posts like this.
I like to joke about how I was just super creative, but the truth is, the kids were watching the lion king and I couldn’t think of a name, and I’d been trying to find a way to have Elune in my name. The song came on and it just happened!
She is very nosy. I do it right back at her and make her write all sorts of REVEALING posts! You should poke her some Elunamakata.
