5 Days of Exercise

Starting today (this morning), I decided to try to exercise 2,500 kilocalories (dietary calories) worth of energy every day for 5 days. With that much exercise and very little intake (about 315 kilocalories), I should be able to lose 3 pounds. Day one didn't get to a good start, though. For my first day, I decided to play DDR Max 2 for my 2,500 kilocalories. From previous play in workout mode, I knew that, playing on Heavy Mode, one hour of gameplay equated to about 1,000 kilocalories. Most of… Continue

Strawberry Hill.

Well, I don't have a clever opening for this so I'm just going to dive right in. I'm getting gastric bypass surgery on December 21st. If you don't know the hairy details about it, go Google it; I'll wait... You done? Okay! Great. Some of the major changes that will affect me after this surgey is no carbonated drinks ever (not a big change for me- I'm more of a tea and water person) and no alcoholic beverages, like ever. Basically, if I were to drink any kind of alcohol it would destory my l… Continue

I quoted John Green at some Decepticon who called me a nerd!

"Saying 'You are a nerd' is like saying 'I see you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are more important things in this life than the arrest record of LIndsay Lohan." July 27th. They didn't get it, of course, but my nerdfighter friends did, and really, when you answer back to people who try and make your day a little worse, you should never do it to try and illicit a positive reaction from them. Still, if you can ta… Continue

Expressions of Creativity

I am a very creative person. I've always like to make things. Now I have a lot of different ways I express my creativity. I paint, I draw, I sing (though not to sings I've written), and sometimes I write. But I also work at Coldstone Creamery, and have for two years, so sometimes I make pretty weird ice cream mixtures. Sometimes ice cream can be... creative. I play D&D, and I've been getting a lot better at making characters. Sometimes I think of something, and then I have to make that ch… Continue

Moving On: Open Heart Surgery

I've been single now for about two months, before now I had been in a relationship for six years. It was a mostly good relationship, we had a few rough patches but generally speaking it was very positive. I found out on the fifth of November (remember, remember) that she is dating someone else. Her whole reasoning for the break up was so that she could go off and see the world and not be tied down. That changed to seeing other people when she realized she didn't want to leave the state. Now I… Continue

I still don't know what I'm doing for my birthday with my friends.......but while B is out on the big island, my parents took me to a very nice restaurant. Though I find it so funny, fancy restaurants must save a LOT on electricity, since the lights are always so dim. xD crab is good.....crab is very good. and life is normal otherwise.....which means chaotic. I can't believe I never realized that my dad was actually th… Continue
