HAHA, yeah not really.
Its 6:27am at the moment, I have weight training at 745... woooo.
I'm just debating now whether or not I'll have enough time to shower AND take a nap when I get home at 910.. Maybe it'll motivate me to take a quick shower.. usually my showers take 20+ minutes, depending on what mental state I am in (sleepy or not).
and then I'll leave here at.. 1130 to make it on time to find parking, and then my class at 1215.
then home again.. or maybe lunch with Lindsey? and then class at 445 until 610ish, and straight from class I'm off to a booster meeting at 6:30.
busyish day.
thank goodness I get to sleep in tomorrow!
Fridays will become my favorite days again :)
Only this time they will be REALLY good, because I will not "sleep in" (past 11 or 12) any other day of the week. Fridays will be my SPECIAL day. lol
Oh, I can't wait!
(yes, I know I am blogging about how excited I am to be sleeping in...)
=p
Yesterday was the first day of the Chinese New Year. The Chinese year 4707 is the year of the ox. What's your Chinese zodiac animal and what does it say about you?
I am a SNAKE.
Personality
Occupying the 6th position in the Chinese Zodiac, the Snake symbolizes such character traits as intelligence, gracefulness and materialism. When it comes to decision-making, Snakes are extremely analytical and as a result, they don’t jump into situations. They are effective at getting the things they want, even if it means they have to scheme and plot along the way.
Snakes are very materialistic creatures, preferring to surround themselves with the finest that life has to offer. This is especially evident in the home, where luxurious furnishings and surroundings help Snakes seek the peace they need in order to thrive.
Health
Snakes prefer living a life of calmness, preferring quietness over noise and a manageable workload rather than a schedule that’s overly-booked. Snakes become easily stressed when their lives aren’t peaceful or in order. Too much of this way of life can shorten a snake’s life!
Career
Snakes do work very hard, but they have a tendency to be job-hoppers as they become easily bored. Their somewhat laid-back attitude causes them to be mistakenly categorized as slackers, but nothing could be further from the truth! Snakes are very creative and extremely diligent. They’re excellent problem-solvers and thrive under tight deadlines. Good career choices for Snakes include: scientist, analyst, investigator, painter, potter, jeweler, astrologer, magician, dietician, and sociologist.
Relationships
Snakes are excellent seducers so they never have trouble attracting others. However, they’ll be the ones to decide when a relationship has potential and when it does not. Once they’ve chosen a partner, a Snake’s insecure side will begin to show through. Snakes guards their chosen partners much like a prized possessions, becoming jealous and even obsessive. Snakes prefer to keep their feelings to themselves. It’s important to never betray a Snake’s trust as a betrayed snake will make it a goal to get even some day!
Snakes and the 5 elements
Metal Snake – Years 1941 and 2001
Incredibly goal-oriented, Metal Snakes will stop at nothing to get that which they believe they deserve. Failure is not in their vocabularies. With their money, they’re continually acquiring more and more possessions – for themselves.
Water Snake – Years 1953 and 2013
Influential, motivated, insightful, and highly intellectual are words that best characterize Water Snakes. These Snakes work well with others and enjoy being recognized and rewarded. They’ll reveal feelings to those closest to them, but no one else.
Wood Snake – Years 1905 and 1965
Kind and genuine, these Snakes enjoy building a solid foundation of friends and family whom they love deeply and whose company they enjoy immensely. But even with all this support, Wood Snakes rarely seek the advice of others.
Fire Snake – Years 1917 and 1977
Fire Snakes are more extroverted, forever offering opinions and telling others what’s on their minds. Even so, others enjoy listening to Fire Snakes. They’re very persuasive and are especially good at convincing others that their ways are best.
Earth Snakes – Years 1929 and 1989
Earth Snakes always seem to be calm and content. They’re friendly and approachable and believe that they’ll reap great rewards by working hard and relying on common sense. (sooooo true for me)
Compatibility
The Snake is compatible with a Rooster and an Ox and incompatible with a Pig and a Monkey.
(my sister and ex boyfriend are both Monkeys.. hahahahahaha)
Show us a picture of you from your childhood.
this is me maybe when I was two? for Halloween. My birthday is in June and it took me 10 months to walk on my own, so yeah, it has to be when I was two. I was a frog for my first halloween =)
I lost my ring.
My most prized possession (next to my bed of course).
My class ring. Its gorgeous. Not all big and bulky like normal class rings.
It's exquisite and feminine and completely gorgeous and personalized.
My grad year, my first name, and then on the inside of the band is my full name.
I never go anywhere without it. Until tonight.
I don't remember where I took it off, IF I took it off, where it could've fallen off?
I can't remember ANYTHING! and its tearing me apart.
I took a shower and don't remember it being on, but didn't think anything of it.
Then, as I was about to leave my house to go to my sister's fashion show, I realized I didn't have it. I scoured my room for a good 10 mins, and started crying and hyperventilating. Finally by that point my parents got off the couch and started helping me look. Unfortunately, I was already late so I had to stop looking, compose myself and leave.
I never drive without my ring :(
No one really understands the importance this ring had for me. and I really can't/don't want to explain it.
I really hope I find it tomorrow.
cool huh? =)
So I bought a few yoga/pilates dvd's.
But I bought them via amazon.com and I don't know what I need in order to work out. Like, I'm assuming I'll need some kind of yoga mat? But how do I choose?
I know some of you out there in voxland do yoga/pilates, so I'm wondering how you all do it.
Is a mat all I need? And are there advantages to certain types of mats? Any good brands you can recommend?
thaaaanks!
I'm going to send in an application/video for The Biggest Loser.
I've never actually watched the show, but this past season's winner was on Ellen right now and she lost 110 lbs in 7 months. and she looks FANTASTIC.
I've been looking for a while where I can like apply or whatever for it, but didn't find it until today.
Now I get to make a 10 minute video about how fantastic I am.
Not.
hahah. They want me to go through a typical day at home. Well that will be a quick video since most of the time I sleep until 12 and just watch tv or go online.
I'm excited. Even if I don't get it. Yeah I known chances are slim, but you never know, right?
Doesn't hurt to try!
So I will write my final "review" about all of the Twilight books.
After finishing all 4, I can say that Twilight is BY FAR, my favorite. Mostly because it's the book that builds their relationship, shows the progress of their love. Stephenie Meyer was very good at conveying emotion, but not as fantastic of an author as I originally thought- mostly because in a lot of the key scenes, I wasn't able to wrap my head around what was going on. The picture in my head was confused and poorly illustrated (that could also be because I didn't exactly take my time reading them.. but I still read every word.)
Also, I reallllllllllly didn't like how long and drawn out a few parts were. For instance, the birth. And her "emo" phase. Mostly the birth. Or well, the days leading up to the birth. They kind of dragged on and I was getting really impatient. I wanted her to just pop already. Or well, tear? haha I'm still confused as to how that baby came out. People keep telling me different things
"oh she ate her way out." "Oh, she clawed her way out" "Oh, they cut bella open and took the baby out"
I don't know.
but leading up to it took waaaaaay too long in my opinion. those days better not play a major part in that movie.
Also, I did not like the movie. It reminded me of a Disney movie- like they fell in love in a day. Or a few days. you know? Plus the way it was filmed, it looked like a indie film and not a hollywood blockbuster. I was disappointed. I wanted them to portray bella/edward's love more. Go more into detail, you know? build that relationship up more. because it looked ridiculous when all of the sudden they were in love with each other, when it seemed that they had just met like a week before.
I hope that with this new director for New Moon, it'll be a better movie. I'm curious to see how bella/jacob will be.
I want to reread Twilight. Maybe tomorrow. haha
