Double trouble! [09 Jul 2009|04:10pm] [ mood | dorky/happy ] [ music | M-Beat feat. General Levy - Incredible (Jungle is Massive) ] Flyboy and Fox ;) (Fox be the name of mah kitteh): Also, totally forgot I had this icon O.o So yeah, for lack of anything better to type... kitties are awesome y/y? Edit: I usually don't bother to mention the troll-spam I occasionally get, but this fail-troll is so fail I just had to share: --- Subject: What the fuck? I don't understand how anyone (especially a male) this pathetic can have a journal that isn't friends only. Seriously, not only is Sonic meant for kids, but you're fucking obsessed with it. Grow the fuck up already, jesus christ. I'm willing to bet you don't have a girlfriend or even friends full stop besides other Sonic fanfucks. --- I... don't even know where to begin. Gender fail*. Sonic is just for kids fail. Girlfriend/friends fail. A fail per paragraph! Must be a new record. D: (* Extra fail for being a photo thread.) 48 flew higher|Fly higher

Memories [06 Jul 2009|11:30pm] [ mood | curious ] [ music | Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney - The Girl Is Mine ] Since everybody is posting theirs for the latest Writer's Block thing, I figured I'd do mine, too ^^; My first ever entry in this LJ (I'd just moved over from my previous one) in January 2004: --- ::Picks himself up, and brushes off his pants:: *cough* ... e.e The worst part about blasting off is always the landing. Owwie... Ahem n.n We are here. We have arrived! (Sorry for the ludicrously long wait, FRF ^^; We were stuck up in a tree.) Now... let's see... n.n LJ - check! Jessie - check! FRF - check! Personalised LJ and icons - ch-- no check ._.; I need to get working. But I have at least been working a little on my webpage n.n Lookie! The Meowth Balloon. Hehe n.n; The link on the balloon doesn't lead anywhere yet... I just had fun making it fly around the screen, and in patching together the TR .gif at the bottom n.n;; Now I just have to start working on the content inside the page, eee! Oh! Jessie liked this little sketch/enlargement I did of a tiny Tails .gif I found n.n : Tailsness Hee! Fun ^_^ I decided I might look seriously into programming/web-design after all. Watch out, |-|4X012 J4/V\3S 1S |34<|.> Kehehe... Ooo, this first entry is very disjointed n.n;; Oh well... whoop-dee-doo... I suppose I ought to tie it up now. There'll be plenty more time for jabbering later n.n And so I bid you all hello, and see you later!! ^_^ ::runs off:: --- Interesting things to note: * I was still referring to myself as male at this point, rather than going genderless and simply not mentioning a gender since then, before finally revealing my physical gender as female more recently while maintaining my preference for being known as male. * I was calling myself 'James' at the time. Jei and I and our good friend FRF (FleaRiddenFurball) formed our own little mini-Team Rocket. It was fun. We joined this one RPG and stuff. Interesting trivia fact - Jei and Jai derive from Jessie and James. * I totally abused the "^_^" face. Nowadays, I do use "^^", but I can't remember the last time I used the full "^_^". * TheMeowthBalloon.net is long since dead ;_; As is whatever that pic was that I drew. * I was just beginning to get really interested in Sonic, and it's interesting that my very first post here mentions it (or at least, mentions Tails). * Despite all of this, I don't really feel that the 'vibe' or 'aura' of my text has changed that much. I may have calmed down a lot since then, but it still sounds like me, doesn't it? Some people can hardly recognise their posts from 5 years ago, but me from 5 years ago still sounds like... well... me. At least, I think so. 'K, that's all :P 7 flew higher|Fly higher

Meme ganked from Blazey [04 Jul 2009|12:25pm] [ mood | silly ] If you knew I had exactly 24 hours to live upon your reading this, what would you say to me? Please don't feel you have to take this meme seriously. If you wanna tell me what a tosser I am or ask if you can have my Sonic collection after I die (the answer is no, by the way), then feel free XD 19 flew higher|Fly higher

hgjhggjgjh WTF [03 Jul 2009|03:08am] [ mood | DO NOT WANT ] [ music | Bzzzzz THUD ] Hah... nothing quite like a gigantic moth the size of a small bird flying around your room at 3'o'clock in the morning. I am not kidding. The body of this thing was the size of an unshelled peanut. It looked like a miniature bat. It was not a bat, it was a moth, but god damn was that thing big. I'm not afraid of moths and don't usually mind them, but this thing was wrecking my room and causing a scene O.o All I could hear was 'bzzzzz THUD bzzzzz THUD bzzzzz THUD' and when it flew at my face ahghjdgkhasgdkah DO NOT WANT. What I really wanna know is how the heck it got in here, anyway O.o I have a screen over my window. I will inspect said screen tomorrow for source of failure, but in the meantime... MOTH. How is freaky moth formed? How moth get HUEG? Yeeeah... bed now. Please no more bedtime assaults D: 16 flew higher|Fly higher

Good news, everyone! [/Professor Farnsworth] [26 Jun 2009|09:51am] [ mood | ecstatic ] [ music | Scandal with Patty Smyth - The Warrior ] Okay, firstly I just wanna say to everyone making sick jokes at MJ's expense - stop it. It's not big or clever. It's tactless, rude and childish. I may not be as rocked by his untimely death as some people, but I see no benefit in being disrespectful. Someone who has a profound influence on the musical world has died. That's not funny. It's sad, and no matter what you think of MJ as a person, show some goddamn respect. (No one on my friends list is guilty of any of this, by the way, but I've seen it plenty of other places and it is starting to IRK me). Alright, with that out of the way... Well! It's pouring with rain. Perfect Glastonbury weather! I keep promising myself that I'm going to go one of these years, but I never get around to it. I really should. After all, I live less than an hour away. I could get there easily. I think it would be fun, and an experience that I'd like to be able to say I've done. I do wonder how very recent events will shape things this year. Will there be lots of MJ tribute performances? I can't imagine that Glastonbury ISN'T buzzing with the news. And now, the most important part of this post. Jei and I were talking last night... about something that's always been a given, but that we simply hadn't got around to putting into motion yet, despite how long we've been together (10 years - 8 years since we first visited each other). Now that Jei is studying in England and we're able to live together, it's time to think about it for real. We're getting married. Despite how long we've known we're gonna do this, and how much we already feel like we're married (we had a handfasting ceremony some years ago), we want to make it official and get all the legal benefits. We can have a civil union (I thank the UK for this) and get all the paperwork. I promised Jei that I will buy her an engagement ring and propose to her officially, and we'll be married in this next year. It's time. I feel all excited and bouncy just thinking about it! I love you, Jei. I can't wait to officially say "I do". This post in brief: Jei and I are going to get married at last and this is really exciting and wonderful, yay! Shootin' at the walls of heartache Bang, bang! I am the warrior Well I am the warrior And heart to heart you'll win If you survive The warrior, the warrior 76 flew higher|Fly higher

This kinda happened outta nowhere... wow. [25 Jun 2009|11:48pm] [ mood | lethargic ] http://uk.news.yahoo.com/4/20090625/ten-michael-jackson-dies-ea4616c.html So, Michael Jackson is dead. I kinda expected he would die young (he was 50), but at the same time I never expected that day to actually arrive, you know? I'm not affected on a personal level, because I didn't know him and I'm not sure that I cared much for him as a person (he creeped me out somewhat, to be honest). But as a musician and a performer, his death is definitely a huge loss to the industry. I've always loved his music. He was an incredibly talented, if deeply troubled, man. R.I.P, Jacko, eh :\ 10 flew higher|Fly higher

Zephyr in the sky at night [25 Jun 2009|03:22am] [ mood | sleepy ] Jeez, it's so windy outside tonight O.o Please don't blow down my house! I wish I'd thought of something awesome to do for Sonic's official birthday. I feel lame now XD I guess it doesn't really matter, but hey, Sonic is important to me ;_; I care about his special day. (Am not gonna sit on a plate with a candle on my head, shut up Jei and Blaze x.x). Hmm, I want more Sonic stuff. Unfortunately, that requires money, and I don't have money. Especially since GoDaddy.com took $100 from me for web services to my domains that I don't ever remember signing up for >O I don't need three 2GB inboxes or a traffic redirecting... thing. I pretty much only use my website for hosting images, anyway XD; I cancelled 'em for next time, but I don't think I'm going to have any luck getting a refund. I probably didn't read some small print somewhere. Speaking of online things... apparently my Gaia Online account has been permanently banned for hacking and hacking profit O.o Which is extremely bizarre, as I haven't logged into Gaia for months. I can only guess that someone else hacked it and used it illegally. Ah well, I never use Gaia anymore anyway. Breeding ground for drama and wangst. I liked my little fox-ears and tail though :( Alas. I had some other stuff to say but I think I've forgotten it now. Haa... okay. G'night! 8 flew higher|Fly higher

Happy Birthday, Speedfreak! [23 Jun 2009|11:18pm] [ mood | ecstatic ] I made a post in the sonicstuff community earlier, but I really need to say it in my LJ before the day is up, too. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SONIC!! Please don't ever stop being amazing :) You're awesome. Enjoy your official 18th and stay true, Blue! ^^ Hee... 14 flew higher|Fly higher

DOO-WOP THAT THING~ [22 Jun 2009|11:49pm] [ mood | giggly ] [ music | EVERYBODY DANCE NOW~ ] Lol. I entered the Mr -=SSMB=- Pageant over at the Sonic Stadium forums for a laugh this week and took part in all the challenges. And guess what? XD Out of 26 entrants, I was one of the three runners-up. Ahahaha. Take that - I am SO manly. All I need to do now is grow a beard and I'm set. In other news, The Sims 3 is working now, yaaaay! I dunno how I fixed my faulty DVD drive but I did and so yay and stuff - it works! Sims 3 is awesome. There's plenty of room for expansion packs, but there's still a lot of good stuff to do. And good god the 'Neurotic' trait you can give your Sims is THE most awesome thing ever. I'm definitely giving that to my Tails Sim when I get around to making Sonic and Tails >.> I just have to decide whether to make them Teens or Young Adults. My 'me' Sim is already an astronaut earning around $4000 per day XD If only I were so successful! Well, I think that's all for now XD; Laters! 2 flew higher|Fly higher

Headaches [21 Jun 2009|01:14am] [ mood | headachy ] *Yawn* I don't know what's wrong with me lately, but I've been having a really bad spate of migraines over the past couple of weeks. I went for almost a year without 'em, but they're back for no apparent reason. I've had... hmm, about 4 in the last few days, including one in the early hours this morning that kept me in bed 'til 1.30pm. I still feel headachy and woozy, but better than I was. I'm not sure what's triggering them, but I hope I don't wake up with my vision half gone and half my body numb AGAIN tomorrow >P Argh. In other annoying news, I can't install The Sims 3 because my laptop had decided to disown its DVD drive and now I need to take it into the shop for repairs. I've tried all the possible fixes, including reinstalling drivers, checking audio device settings and deleting filters, but no dice. Maybe it's a hardware fault, which I have no expertise with at all. If I can find my guarantee papers, I'll go to PC World tomorrow. If not, I'll take it to the local shop on Monday. Dammit, I wanna play my Sims! Jei is having to reformat her computer so SHE can install Sims too... we both bought the game on the same day and neither of us can play it XD Okay, painkillers, bed :P G'night! 18 flew higher|Fly higher

FML XD; [20 Jun 2009|12:17am] [ mood | amused ] [ music | Weird Al - White and Nerdy ] Today was interesting. Family... can't live with 'em, can't live... uh... with 'em. But enough about that! I wanna show off my new watch! It's a Citizen brand. It has 30 time zones, two alarms, date, temperature, timer, back light... lots of stuff. I love my old binary watch, but I wanted something a bit more functional. So, this is my new baby! (Well, I say new... I've had it a few weeks now). I also bought The Sims 3 today, although I haven't installed it yet. Will probably do that tomorrow morning after I get back from the local market and the car boot sale with my mom. Finally, I'm sure you'd love to see how ridiculous awesome I look when I'm being a prat wearing fox ears and a pair of gigantic fox tails. In case you'd rather be spared, there is a cut. ( White and nerdy! ) ... and here's a bonus picture of me being buried in Sonic plushies. Just 'cause. Alright, I'm done degrading myself now ;D 23 flew higher|Fly higher

I am a little late with this, but it needs to be spread:- [18 Jun 2009|04:14pm] [ mood | determined ] If you are reading this right now, you have more luxury than someone in Iran could ever hope for right now. If you are watching TV or a video on youtube, updating your status on Facebook, Tweeting, or even texting your friend, you are lucky. If you are safe in your home, and were able to sleep last night without the sounds of screaming from the rooftops, you need to know and understand what is happening to people just like you in Iran right now. They are not the enemy. They are a people whose election has been stolen. For the first time in a long time, a voice for change struck the youth of Iran, just as it did for many people in the United States only seven months ago. Hossein Mousavi gained the support of millions of people in Iran as a Presidential candidate. He stands for progressiveness. He supports good relations with the West, and the rest of the world. He is supported with fervor as he challenges the oppressive regime of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. On Friday, millions of people waited for hours in line to vote in Iran's Presidential election. Later that night, as votes came in, Mousavi was alerted that he was winning by a two-thirds margin. Then there was a change. Suddenly, it was Ahmadinejad who had 68% of the vote - in areas which have been firmly against his political party, he overwhelmingly won. Within three hours, millions of votes were supposedly counted - the victor was Ahmadinejad. Immediately fraud was suspected - there was no way he could have won by this great a margin with such oppposition. Since then, reports have been coming in of burned ballots, or in some cases numbers being given without any being counted at all. None of this is confirmed, but what happened next seems to do the trick. The people of Iran took the streets and rooftops. They shout "Death to the dictator" and "Allah o akbar." They join together to protest. Peacefully. The police attack some, but they stay strong. Riots happen, and the shouting continues all night. Text messaging was disabled, as was satellite, and websites which can spread information such as Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, and the BBC are blocked in the country. At five in the morning, Arabic speaking soldiers (the people of Iran speak Farsi) stormed a university in the capital city of Tehran. While sleeping in their dormitories, five students were killed. Others were wounded. These soldiers are thought to have been brought in by Ahmadinejad from Lebanon. Today, 192 of the university's faculty have resigned in protest. Mousavi requested that the government allow a peaceful rally to occur this morning - the request was denied. Many thought that it would not happen. Nevertheless, first a few thousand people showed up in the streets of Tehran. At this point, it is estimated that 1 to 2 million people were there. Mousavi spoke on the top of a car. The police stood by. For a few hours, everything was peaceful. Right now, the same cannot be said. Reports of injuries, shootings, and killings are flooding the internet. Twitter has been an invaluable source - those in Iran who still know how to access it are updating regularly with picture evidence. People are being brutally beaten. Tonight will be another night without rest for so many in Iran no older than I am. Tonight there is a Green Revolution.

Angel, on this darkest night...~ [17 Jun 2009|11:38am] [ mood | cheerful ] [ music | Snap! - Angel (Rays of Love) ] I recorded a very short little snippet of me singing, just 'cause I said I would XD Angel (Rays of Love) refrain LJ's UK voice posts still aren't working, so I had to record it as an mp3 and it's slightly lossy, but it's okay I guess. Hopefully it'll open in Quicktime or something so you don't have to download it to your computer ^^; So yeah, that's my voice. When I'm singing. Yeah. :D; *RUNS* 12 flew higher|Fly higher

Friends List Amnesty thing [17 Jun 2009|10:49am] [ mood | busy ] Hi ^^; Figured I should do this at last. My friends list has grown exponentially over the past year or so, even in recent months, and that's something that I'm very very happy about. I love being on LJ, I love reading everyone's posts, commenting, reading comments, and just hanging out with everyone here *Warm fuzzies*. But as time goes by, people grow apart, and I can't help being concerned that there are some people who only still have me friended because they haven't gotten around to taking me off. Now, this doesn't have anything to do with comments, because I know there are people who I love to read but rarely comment on, and I'm sure that reversely there are people who read my LJ but just don't often comment. That's fine. I don't need comments just for the sake of them. I just don't want anyone to feel like they need to keep me on if they're really just not interested anymore. So here it is. If you'd prefer not to be reading my posts anymore, or you just plain don't like me (which is fine!), feel free to take me off your friends list. I will do the same back, there will be no drama, no mention of it, and life will go on :) Because there's no point in pretending to still be friends if things have gone stale or even sour. Finally, this wasn't triggered by anything or anyone. I just got to feeling that I don't want to be on anyone's list who doesn't actually want me there anymore. And to everyone else... okay, onward! :D 30 flew higher|Fly higher

Meme! [16 Jun 2009|05:10am] [ mood | awake ] Taken from rainsingingwolf: Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you. rainsingingwolf gave me... flying I've loved the idea of flight since I was very little. As a kid, I played with toy airplanes all the time; Jimbo and the Jet Set was my favourite cartoon. Growing older, my tastes refined towards smaller aircraft and I discovered I had a passion for both modern jets and old-fashioned WWI-style light aircraft. For a long time, I worshipped the F-16 Fighting Falcon, because it was 'cool'. However, I became true to myself later and admitted that I actually much preferred the old-fashioned bi-planes (and some monoplanes) of the WWI to early WWII era. I dreamed about flying a bi-plane for years, and then finally for my 21st birthday (woo, 3 years ago?) I flew a Tiger Moth. I expected to be thrilled, exhilarated even... but it was better than that. I felt completely calm and at home. No nerves, no fear, no pounding heart. I could have stayed up there all day. My goal now is to somehow get hold of a bi-plane (as similar to the Polikarpov 'Chaika' as possible) and paint it to look like the Tornado :P lightning storms Plehhh!! I hate them. To be fair, I know exactly why I hate them. The very same reason I hate fireworks, balloons, and anything else that makes a loud sudden noise. Mind you, my thunderstorm phobia was much worse as a child. I used to hide under my bed with my hands over my ears whenever the weather forecast came on, just in case they'd mention thunder! My girlfriend has witnessed me crying under the covers during nighttime storms, so I kid you not. Storms turn me into a gigantic wuss, I openly admit it. video games I don't play them very often! It might seem strange, given that I surround myself with video-game merchandise and talk about video-game characters and even have a video-game related past-life belief... but I don't play them very often. Nope, not even the Sonic ones! I do have a lot of games consoles. No next gen ones (£...), but I have a SNES, N64, Gamecube, DS, Megadrive, Dreamcast, PS, PS2... and I do play on them sometimes. It's just not often. I play on them much more when my girlfriend is around. I find that much more fun than playing by myself, personally ^^; My relationship with video-games is odd. I love them, but I neglect them horribly and they don't make up a big part of my life, despite the influence that Sonic has on my life. otakin ... are, for the most part, just regular people. I don't have an 'otakin' filter on any of my posts - what you see is what you (and everybody else) get(s). As you can probably tell from the very basic and mundane content of most of my everyday posts, I'm not driven or controlled by my 'crazy' beliefs. They're just part of me, part of who I am. I'd like to stress that I am happy with who I am and that I do not think I would be a lesser person without my beliefs. I wouldn't change what this life has given me... I'm very lucky. I'm healthy and have a good family and have no need for escapism. Being 'kin is just one facet of me and I hope (and believe) that the majority of people who know me are perfectly fine with that. miles "tails" prower That's more than one word! ... then again, so was 'lightning storms' :P Well, Tails has been tied in with my identity for quite a few years now, and I'm afraid that even if I were to change my username and avatars, it wouldn't make a difference. After all, I still have a few diehards from my old journal who still call me Kojirou! ;) So... um... yeah. 'Flyboy Fox' as a name originally referred to Fox McCloud, as most of you probably know. Over time, and as I got deeper into Sonic fandom, people started associating it, and me, with Tails. Naturally, most peoples' assumption is that I'm a massive Tails fan, when the reality is that Sonic is my favourite of course. However, I don't really know what I'd do if I were to pull away from Tails now. I'm not afraid of showing my own face (god knows I flaunt my mug enough XD) so that's not an issue. I'm just not sure what would be left of my online identity if I took away Tails XD NAO U. 24 flew higher|Fly higher

Home again, home again, jiggity-jig! [14 Jun 2009|06:55pm] [ mood | accomplished ] [ music | Snap! - Angel (Rays of Love) ] That went more quickly than I thought it would! It only took a little more than two hours each way, thanks to 'Simon' (our GPS) finding a slightly more convoluted but much faster route. So, now we're all here... my mom, dad, brother and me. We had a roast dinner for lunch and I was good and had boiled potatoes instead of roast, and no Yorkshire pud :P Anyway, my dad hasn't changed a bit XD He was 20 minutes late and, at the last minute, needed a pick-up from the train station. Then when we were packing up my brother's stuff, he vanished, and reappeared 10 minutes later with a shopping trolley that he'd got from God knows where O.o And then insisted that we use the trolley to move the stuff, even though it was near impossible to push up a steep and lumpy hill. Then he tried to bring stuff that belonged to the apartment and get my brother to leave some of his own stuff ^^; ...It's gonna be a long week. Driving home was kinda funny. Even though we went in separate cars and weren't actively following each other, we kept ending up right in front of each other on the motorway and even arrived home after two hours still nose-to-tail. That's never happened before, so it was kind of cool. My brother is a tall, quiet, gruff-voiced fellow now. It's funny because I'll always think of him as that chubby little kid who idolised me and spent hours playing awesome adventure games with me when we were both little. He's strong, broad-shouldered and a man now, which is kinda hard for me to accept, as it seems to have happened overnight (because I see so little of him). I hope we'll become closer over time again because once my mom is gone, we'll really be the only family we each have left. I have a couple of ideas as to what song(s) I'll do when I do a voice-post... whenever LJ finally fixes the non-USA voice post numbers. Alternatively, I could boot up Adobe Audition and just record an mp3, but that takes effort. I wonder how often I should weigh myself to see how I'm doing. I don't want to do it too often and get disappointed... maybe once per week? Edit: Please? Almost hatched! 11 flew higher|Fly higher

All aboard the fun times train! XD; [13 Jun 2009|10:47pm] [ mood | hopeful ] [ music | Snap! - Angel (Rays of Love) ] Sooo, uh... my brother AND my dad are coming home to spend a week here, tomorrow XD Oldies on my friends list probably know that this week is going to be interesting... I'm driving up to Farnham with my mom tomorrow to collect them and to help my brother move out of his Uni digs. He and my dad are staying at home for a week, then my dad is leaving and my brother is going off to... Barbados, I think, for a week with a friend, as a (belated) 21st birthday present. Then my brother will be back for the rest of the summer. Having said that, perhaps with a note of trepidation apparant, I do have to say that he and I have been getting on better recently. It's my dad that I'm more worried about, to be honest. However, if I can find some Summer Work soon, then any potential clashes with my brother over the summer will be minimised by me being out of the house during the day. And it would be nice to see him, anyway. Despite our extremely rocky history and his past (this is the brother who was convicted of Actual Bodily Harm and sentenced to 8 months community service a few years back), he really seems to have grown up. He's studying Advertising and Brand Management at Farnham University College of the Creative Arts (lol FUCCA) and he's achieved 4 Firsts in his first year. That's really impressive and I'm proud of him for that. Besides, he's still my little bro... So here's hoping that things go smoothly and that this first week with my mom, dad AND bro all at home won't be a nightmare XD (My mom can't stand my dad, which always makes for a lovely home environment :D). I should make the most of my time with Dad, I guess. He's probably going back to Colombia soon, and he turned 80 this year... so time is precious. Maybe we've all grown up enough to have a rewarding, or at least non-apocalyptic, week together :DDD;;; 10 flew higher|Fly higher

:) [13 Jun 2009|12:55pm] [ mood | happy ] I'm delighted! I've lost 3 pounds already and I feel really good. Not so hungry between meals, a lot more energy, and generally happier. I've been getting more exercise too, so I think this is really working. I'm expecting to plateau for a bit now because I'm sure most of what I lost was water weight, but I'm really pleased with my progress so far. Even if I only lose a couple pounds a week (anything more than that is probably not a good idea), in a month I'll have some real results! I'm also taking 20ml Acai berry juice every morning. I know that Acai berry as a weight loss aid is pretty much a snake oil remedy. But it IS a superfood with awesome antioxidant properties, and I'd prefer to get my vitamins that way than from tablets/capsules. Either way, it doesn't harm me and even as a placebo it might do me some good ^^ I made scrambled egg with mushrooms and onions with half a pita bread and some leftover ratatouille for lunch. It was really nice for such a simple snack. I had a low fat bagel for breakfast. And I walked to the local weekend car boot sale and got some books and some fresh strawberries! Fruit and cottage cheese is THE most delicious snack ever, mm-mmm. Haa~ I really am just in a good mood right now. It feels good to feel good, I guess! 10 flew higher|Fly higher

Oh boy, THESE memes are going around again :D; [11 Jun 2009|01:58pm] [ mood | content ] [ music | Lonyo - Summer of Love ] Stolen from moth_wingthane (who locked his before I could post in it D:) and overlord_mordax: The problem with Live Journal is that we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. Hence, I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don’t know about you. Ask away, and then put this in yours so that I can be nosy about you XD I actually went out and got some sun today! Yay me! 88 flew higher|Fly higher

Food ;_; [10 Jun 2009|11:24pm] [ mood | hungry!! ] I am SO hungry. Every second thought is about food. Not just any food, but the most ridiculously calorific food-fests I can imagine. Why does my psyche torture me so? Long story short, I have a little extra around my middle that I want to shift. I've been pretty lazy and slackish about it because hey, I've never been significantly overweight. I look okay. But I know that I'll never feel really good if I don't make more effort and get into good shape rather than meandering around 'average'. I've tried so many 'diets' to try to change my eating habits, because although I am a sensible eater, DAMN I like to snack. So this time I've decided to be really strict. Cereal bar for breakfast, low-fat soup for lunch, and a healthy small dinner, with small amounts of fruit for snacks. But god it's not getting any easier XD; I guess I just have to admit that I'm a glutton. It would absolutely be my Deadly Sin. I love to eat. Really, it's amazing that I'm not more than a tiny bit over the best weight for my height. I probably should thank overall health and a speedy metabolism for that, but I know that won't last forever. So, now that I have a cupboard filled with the only stuff I'm allowed to eat, with exactly the right amount for the week, I have no choice but to stick to it. If I eat more than my share, it won't be there for the rest of the week until I shop on Saturday :P I'm currently avoiding (but not completely abstaining from) wheat and milk (using soya where I can), only eating food with a low GI index, and keeping my daily calorie count below 1,000. IF THAT DOESN'T SHIFT THIS STUBBORN BIT OF EXCESS THEN I DUNNOOOOOO. Edit: Yikes! Thanks for your concern, everyone :) You're right, 1,000 is a little bit too small. I'm actually eating more around 1,200, which I've researched and found is safe for my height and weight ^^ I'll be sensible! Most of all I'm keeping my nutrition balanced with fruit, veg, protein and a small amount of carbs (no Atkins for me :P). And exercising. Thank you all for the concern! I'm glad nobody wants me collapsing of malnutrition XD; 21 flew higher|Fly higher
