Promotion Incentive!!!!!! haha this is pathetic :)

Okie dokie, so here's the thing.
I'm gonna try my dang hardest to keep blogging, because believe it or not my blog means a lot to me and so does the entire idea of The Seuss Project.
But if I wanted nobody to read what I write, I would write it on Microsoft OneNote and keep it to myself.

Sadly, NOBODY READS THIS BLOG. :(
And I guess it's not really nobody, it's just very few people.

But a few people can do great things!!
Remember my post the other day that had the random advertisement/flyer thing that I threw together in about 30 seconds?  (If you don't remember or you just want to see, then CLICK HERE and scroll down to the interesting-looking part..)
Well I want you to use it!
Yes, really.
No, I'm not kidding.

Here's how this is gonna work.  Print out the picture thing (preferably in black and white to save money and the environment) and hang it up somewhere where it can be seen by a bunch of peope!!  (You can even design your own flyer if you'd like.. I'm sure all ya'all could do way better!  I made mine RIGHT HERE.)  Post it on a bulletin board or in the hallway in school or something like that.  Then take a picture of it hanging up there and email that picture to me at theseussproject@gmail.com.

If you do that, you will win a special prize!!
And that is that I will write you a fancy letter about how awesome I think that you are, and I will put some cool stickers on it and then I will mail it to you!!  (Unless you live outside of the USA;; then we'll have to figure something else out.)  Make sure to include the address that you want the letter sent to in your email. :D  {{I won't stalk you, I promise}}

Additional incentives::
1. If you also happen to be seeking a larger audience for your blog, I will make and hang 2 flyers for your blog around University of Utah for every 1 The Seuss Project flyer that you hang wherever you live.  (Within reason, of course.. cause I'm not made of money or printer paper or anything..)  Mention this in your email. :D

2. If you are reading this and your name is Mariah Elena or Emma Rose, you may qualify for EXTRA PRIZES!!!!  For each TSP flyer you hang and document to my email, I will write a blog post for WTCA!!  (Up to five (5) (cinco) (V) blog posts!!!)

Maybe this will get like 2 or 3 people to glance at my blog. :):)
Have a super fun night!

Boring blogger fonts

Look at all these boring fonts that blogger gave me to choose from.
Boring.
Boring.
Boring.
Boring.
Boring.

I sure wish that there were cooler fonts

 **

 

 

Wow, those two look a lot alike.  Well they're different.
Oops.

I went window shopping today, which wasn't too fun because it just made me sad that I have not money and it's don't-buy-anything week.  I suppose I should stop being such a little bratface though.

I feel like it's bedtime (and I really wish it was) but I can't go to sleep cause I'm scared I won't wake up in time for work.  I should've tried harder to fall asleep last night... :/

Gahh my blog posts are boring.
Boring like blogger fonts.

Have a good day.

Gym fails: extended edition

Gahh why do I have to be so out of shape?!?
I finally convinced myself to go to the gym, but I only ran 2 miles and then felt way yucky and went home....
Hopefully someday I'll get better at this dang gym thing.  But for now Ima go take a shower and head to school.

This is how my shower is gonna go.. :D

School and then work.  Gross.  I haven't slept all freaking night.

Reasons why LJ's a fail: Gym edition

January is almost done, so it's safe to say that most people have pretty much given up on their new years resolutions.  I wish I were so lucky....

Here's the thing.. I resolved to go to the gym more often in.. um like.. early November.  So this doesn't count as a regular new years fail -- it's far worse.  And starting then I began setting my alarms for 4:30 AM in hopes of going to the gym in the morning.

I've been to the gym twice since then.  Twice.
Wow.

The first time I went was very un-fun, so for the next few days I made up excuses to not go.  For example: "my gym clothes are dirty," "I can't find a sports bra," "I need to save my energy for my epic work shift tonight," "I haven't shaved my legs," and a bunch of others.
And after a few days I completely forgot the combination to my new lock, so I didn't go for a long time.

Eventually I bought a new lock and went again, and that was like a week ago.

Today I am finally going again!!!!  But of course this involves its own fair share of LJ fails.  Here they are:::

1. I keep being dang proud of myself for getting up so early to go run.  Except that I didn't.  Really I stayed up all night and listened to music and watched the new Footloose and Charlieissocoollike.  I did try to go to sleep for, um, like 45 minutes in there somewhere but that got boring.  So now I've condemned myself to a horrid day of grouchy tiredness and caffeine pills.

2. Remember that new lock I bought?  Well I lost it.  I spent the last half hour looking for it (it turned out to be hiding in the back seat of my car) and then I realized that I forgot the combination to this lock too!!!!  Except that I remembered the first and last numbers.. I just forgot the middle one.  So I sat here for a while like an idiot trying lots of possible middle numbers until I figured it out.  Stupid lock.

3. I'm also failing at going to the gym because I let myself sit down on my cozy bed and write on my blog instead of getting dressed and heading down there to run.  So now I don't want to get up.  And if I don't get up soon then I'll fall asleep or convince myself to watch Napoleon Dynamite instead of going to the gym.  So I'm gonna go.

I hope that my failures make you feel better about keeping/not keeping your new years resolutions. :)
Have a super fun day.

No buying things for 1 week?!?!?! :(

Hey, blog readers. :)

I've returned home to the bachelorette pad after a nice visit home and a fairly boring work shift.
I'm in a cleaning mood, and my house it dirty so it seems like a perfect match.  However I'm restraining myself from cleaning because the people I live with are sleeping upstairs and I'm a super noisy person.  (I did finally recycle like 12 soda cans laying around my kitchen though..)
To pass the time until I'm sleepy, I started wasting time on YouTube and stuff.  But then YouTube stopped working (FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS!!) so now I'm blogging. :):)

My goal for the next week is to not buy ANYTHING until next Saturday.  My awesome mom helped out by filling my gas tank this morning, so hopefully I'll have enough food and willpower to make it through the week.  I really like buying things so this is gonna be rough....
This goal is motivated by an underlying aspect... I have like no money.  I came superdy-duper close to overdrafting my checking account today (like 86 cents close!!) so now I have to kick myself in the butt and quit spending money that I don't have.  That means no more Whole Foods organic yumminess for a while and more oriental-flavored top ramen. :(

I REALLY WANT TO CLEAN MY HOUSE.

I'm going to try dang hard to keep posting on my blog.  I have another blog that I had to get for my PRT class (don't even ask for the link... it's so boring!!!!!!) and that lamesauce blog is getting more hits than The Seuss Project.  So if you are reading this, then you should print off the picture below and hang it all over your neighborhood/apartment complex/dorm/school/prison/etc.

Haha if anyone really does this I will personally mail you a handwritten letter about my thoughts on your awesomeness. :)

Stupid internet explorer.. I love it so much but it's not letting me do important bloggy things like posting pictures... I'm tying this in Firefox right now so I could show all ya'all my lovely advertisment flyer.

Sleep tightly tonight and don't let any nasty bedbugs bite you.

Laziness in Brigham City

Good morning, world. :)

I know, you must be shocked.  Seeing me blogging and all.  It must be strange for you... don't worry; it's weird for me too.

I'm at my Brigham house with my family, and I haven't done anything interesting or cool yet today.  I feel pretty lazy and pathetic, but I guess that's how things go.  If I were really an ambitious person I'd go and do some homework, but instead I'm blogging. :)

Funny how those things work....

I really feel like cooking and I don't know why.  Maybe it's because my kitchen at the bachelorette pad isn't really a kitchen but actually a mini-fridge+microwave+hot plate, so having a real kitchen gets me all excited.  Sadly I already ate so no cooking for me.

Gahh I'm so lazy.
I hope you all have a good day.

Blogging and other things I'm bad at....

You don't even have to tell me how bad I am at blogging.  I know, I know.

Not only am I bad at blogging; I'm also abominable, amiss, atrocious, awful, beastly, blah, bottom out, bummer, careless, cheap, cheesy, crappy, cruddy, crummy, defective, deficient, diddly, dissatisfactory, downer, dreadful, erroneous, fallacious, faulty, garbage, gosh*awful, grody, gross, grungy, icky, imperfect, inadequate, incorrect, inferior, junky, lousy, not good, off, poor, raunchy, rough, sad, slipshod, stinking, substandard, synthetic, unacceptable, and unsatisfactory at blogging.  (Thank you, Thesaurus.com for all these great words to describe how I've been at blogging lately..)

So yeah, I know that my last blog post was December 3, and today is sadly January 26.  Sorry.
Luckily I have Mariah who kindly reminded me of my failures and nudged me to stop putting The Seuss Project off.

Here's what's happened in my life lately!!
I started the new semester, and it's been going.. um.. fine I guess.  I've been having a weird mental relationship with school lately but nothing bad has happened so I suppose all is well.  I also got a new job working in the Domino's in Bountiful, UT.  I start on Feb 4 I think, so we'll see how that goes!  I'm pretty stoked. :)  I also bought a new pet fish, who I named Nathaniel.  I'll upload pictures next time I'm home.

So all ya'all know that blogging isn't the only thing I fail at, here are a few other things I haven't been doing so great at lately:::::

1. Picking up soda cans at my house.  After I got paid last Friday I got all excited and went grocery shopping which resulted in like 40 cans of diet coke entering my house.  It would take about 2 seconds for me to gather up the empty cans after I drink them and take them to the recycling bin, but I haven't done it and they are everywhere!!!!  I could build Optimus Prime out of them if I wanted.. that's how much dang aluminum I have lying around my basement.

2. Saving money.  Because I have lots of things to pay for, so I should use my money for those things.  But instead I went to Whole Foods and bought things like bunny grahams and fruit karma yumminess and vegetarian pretend-meat :).  I sure like all that stuff but it gets dang expensive!

3. Filling my life with more productive things than YouTube and Stumbleupon.  Today I had to drive from Sandy to Brigham after I got off of work, but instead of leaving immediately after my shift and arriving in BC at a half-decent time, I went to the bachelorette pad and spent like 2 hours watching YouTube videos.  Only when my computer battery was going to die did I finally pack my things and leave for my Brigham house.

There are lots of other things I'm bad at.  I hope that this post makes you feel better about your life because you'll know that other people are far less successful than you.
Have a good night, and don't forget your smile.
