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.

MMMBop????

(((I wrote all this last night, btw)))

Hey blog readers!!

My internet is being really weird right now, so lots of websites aren’t working.  I sort of figured that it was fate telling me to write on my blog, but now blogger isn’t working either so I’m typing this on Microsoft Word.

All the interesting/cool/fun sites are down right now, but there are 2 working right now.  The first is Facebook, which doesn’t exactly tickle my fancy so I’m not paying it much attention.

The second site that is working is a page that Stumbleupon sent me to right when the internet broke.  On this page is the music video for the song “MMMBop” by Hanson from 1997.

Really, internet?  Is that the only thing you can give me?

For those of you not familiar with “MMMBop”, imagine Rebecca Black’s “Friday” but multiplied by like 15.  I watched the music video for the first time just now, and it left me extremely confused.  (Also saddened by the downfall of good music in our world.)

Here's a link to the confusing video.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHozn0YXAeE

To add to the unfortunateness of the day, “MMMBop” is now stuck in my head.  I would pay like 10 bucks to get it out of my head right now.

Bleh.  I hope the internet comes back soon.  Maybe this is fate telling me to read.  Right now I’m reading The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver, and I’m enjoying it quite a lot.

Have a super great night, and sleep tightly.
