300 followers?!? WORD.
Hey y'all! How are things? 300 seems like a lot. Am I living up to everyone's expectations? Is there anything you'd like more of? Less of? Will I listen to suggestions? Probably not, but sure it's worth a try.
I kicked the elliptical's arse today at the gym. 600 calories in an hour. Then another 100ish on the bike. I'm reading Hunger Games. That book is BRILLIANT. Like seriously. Go read it. Now.
It reminds me a bit of the film Battle Royale (if you haven't seen it, go rent it--I don't think it's banned anymore). I wish they'd done that when I was in grade school--rounded all us kiddies up, sent us to an island, and told us we had to kill each other until there was only one left. I would have won (obvs) and it would have been the mother of all bloodbaths.
Grade school sucked a lot.
I did not binge yesterday!! And haven't yet today (keeping fingers crossed that it lasts... I'm going to the pub tonight, so I'll allow myself semi-normal cal intake so I don't go nuts when I come home drunk).
I should be working on some kind of fiction project for my writing workshop. 'Tis my turn to email everyone up to 8 pages of a first draft, but all the stuff I'm working on is either part of a series and already 2 or 3 books in, or it's crap and I don't feel like wasting my time typing it when I shall most likely abandon it anyway.
So I'm procrastinating. I showered. Did my hair up all nice.
...Not really. It's in a more contained sort of bun now, like in that post I did about my unhygienic hair rituals.
I also tidied my room. Did all the grocery shopping. Picked up Mum's prescription. And I attempted to tidy my closet, but gave up.
You have to love the closets and cupboards in my house. Mum is a minimalist, and I am a hoarder, so in order to balance the two, Mum is ok with stuffing things out of sight (and thus out of mind) so the house can look bare and sterile. So we stuff many, many things into closets.
This is all well and good until you actually have to go and get something out of the closet.
There's usually an avalanche, complete with at least 2 spiders.
But worse than the avalanche, I think, is when you get attacked by just one heavy item.
I am being unfair. These things generally only happen after I have been putting things away in the closets. The cupboard under my sink is my fav.
...
Ok, I really need to go write something. I have until Monday evening to send it out. Deadlines and I do not get along very well.
Hope everyone's having a spectacular weekend! <3
darling, you are so effin' beautiful, and and and, you deserve all 300 followers and more because you are just lovely.
ReplyDeletehaha I think I also would have kicked ass at a battle royal type deathmatch too... and even if I didn't at least it'd be fun.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is perfect already the only thing I could suggest more of would be posts-- and that's just because you're always so fucking awesome and hilarious.
That's great that you started working on Angelus more! If you finish any more and post it let me know so I can read : )
you look lovely! Things fall on me from cupboards too...I'm always trying to reach things that are too high. Perhaps I'm too short.
ReplyDelete:O High five for being number 300!?!
ReplyDeleteMostly followed based on me being an insane horder too. Lovely blog though :)
xx
Ooooh... your hair! You're so perdy!
ReplyDeleteGood luck finishing up your writing project.
Only one suggestion, and that's to keep your drawings coming!
ReplyDelete&& GIRL YOU ARE GORGEOUS!!
love your hair, and the hunger games is the bomb. just finished reading them all last month, glad i did.
ReplyDeleteI swear your pictures get funnier every day. Your hair looks awesome, I wish mine would STAY in any sort of style I put it in...
ReplyDeleteBattle Royale for the preteen set, eh? I do believe they wrote that book already and called it Lord of the Flies. lol
ReplyDeleteAnd funny you should mention hoarding...lol My friend of the EBAY hook-up is also a hoarder and was buying an astrolabe at the time, which resulted in several exchanges of emails as she checked to make sure the astrolabe was fuctional etc...and what do you know? love in the time of e-auctions.
And that bitch never called me like she said she would. I srsly feel like she's gonna avoid me even if she misses me until she's in a better state mentally/physically. Who knows when that'll be, though?
As for inchworms...ewww. We kinda don't have those here. Thank GOODNESS. We just have schizophrenic weather that catapults you waist deep in snow, and then showers you with cosmic sun rays til you are baked dead while half buried in aforementioned snow.
One year, we got chest deep snow that took 3 days to melt down to waist deep...and when I emerged from the house to shovel us out, it was legit like 65 degrees outside and I was sweating like a roasted pig in hell while mucking through it all to the mail box.
Spring here is an exercise in madness.
Anywhoozle. I am working on a songgg now and I should umm....stop avoiding it. lmao
im jealous of your 600 burn straight! how in the world do you keep yourself distracted for so long?!
ReplyDeletelove your hair, and good luck with the writing.
stay lovely. <3
HAHA! You can see your funny mad eyes in the middle after the avalanche.
ReplyDeleteRead the hunger games trilogy recently. I was actually reading that when I FIRST got apeshit about the gym. it would really help me stay on the bike for an hour. loved it.
xo
I LOVE the hunger games, and catching fire and mockingbird you have to read them all...not that you'll be able to resist anyway! There is a 50 year old man that gets my bus and he has been reading them. I think it is cool but I think it is a bit odd too...
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE your hair. I wish I would do things with mine its just thick and black. Your followers is 301. I am not following you here as I dont longer use blogger :-)
ReplyDeleteBattle Royale is so cool. I have a feeling that you would love the old school Malay ghost movies that are kick ass and scares the crap out of you.
I am feeling slightly better now so it is time to clean the house (that itself is a workout1) and then start attacking my elliptical. It shall no longer be a decoration.
Your 301 followers are very much deserved! Your lovely and your writing is amazing! 600 cals in a hour?! Yeah, you sure did kick that ellptical's arse! You kicked it good :D. Your hair is lovely! You look great in light blonde hair! I'm a minimalist also so I like the least amount of everything possible (except for my newest obsession: coffee-themed coffee mugs...can't have too many of those!). Good luck with your writing deadline! I hate deadlines, but if it wasn't for them I would never get anything done!
ReplyDelete♥
Well now, don't you look just like a princess, Blondilocks?! Gorgeous, I love it!
ReplyDeleteWell done for not binging! Have a drink for me! Slàinte! <3. XXX.
Wow! You are sooo beautiful! Love everything about your blog, it's perfect!
ReplyDeleteOh, the cupboards and closets...yesh! Cleaned out a couple of son's dresser drawers yesterday, shirts mostly that don't fit him...but he won't let me get rid of...so into another closet they go! i need to put a ton of things into closets, so it kinda looks tidy here, heh.
As always, love, love your drawings! My niece is reading "Hunger Games"...when i first heard the title, i thought it was about eating disorders...! i am currently reading "Cutting for Stone"...excellent, very descriptive...a "fine couth tomb".
Byeeeee, Lovely
Eloise18 Hee, i'm, ah...49...but i act totally younger...ha, ha! :)
ReplyDeletehi there pretty girl

Oh, Mich, but I love the style in your picture so much! Why would you change it?? :p
ReplyDeleteHum, my mother is also a minimalist, and I too am a hoarder.. We compromise with me keeping my crap contained in my room.
I have the Hunger Games books, I'll have to start in on them when I finish my ElvenBane trilogy.
i'm going to be boring and say what everyone else is: you are beautiful (it's true) and i LOVED the hunger games books. i would have been dead in ONE HOUR i swear. good luck with your writings! :)
ReplyDeleteI love that hair style, it looks like what they do in top model photo-shoots, and you look freaking great with it <3
ReplyDeleteSo does that mean you've been published?
ReplyDeleteI'm writing my own little project at the moment, and it's almost to the polishing stage. and i just really wanna get published =]
You are hilarious! I love your little animations (: they just brightened my day (:
ReplyDeleteGritty Kitty Litter! LOL

ReplyDeleteonce you've stuffed the cabinets you should move onto plastic containers and the underside of the bed.
