Swampfox, Swampfox

Today was fun. I woke up at 8 AM (for reasons I am still unsure of) and at 10 I was out of the house. Went to get my schoolwork and got some food from 7-11 and then I was off down to ambush my godmother at work. But she wasn't there, so then I had nothing to do. Soooo I ended up driving around and looking at things blasting Disney songs and singing along offkey to see how many people would roll their windows up. I got 2 people to roll 'em up, and one guy rolled his down. Theeeen drove around some more, saw the creepy abandoned neighborhood, got some DVDs, stopped by my godmother's house but of course she wasn't there eeeeither...ooh and I went to the gay and lesbian thrift store (which you don't have to be gay or lesbian to shop there =p) and got myself 10 used records for $10! Yay! So I'm going to listen to those tonight. Hmm...ohh and then I went through Compton so I stopped blasting music and locked my doors haha. I did see some cops intervening in a gang fight and arresting people though, so that was fun. I want to go find a good soul food place in Compton, I saw a few. Tomorrow I have rehearsal so that's exciting. Hmm...so now I'm going to play some more TSO and prepare for the terror that is my nephew to arrive. God save the queen (and when I say that, I mean me).

Eenie Meenie Miney Moe

So it's almost 4 AM and therefore almost time to hit the hay. I've been sleepy but not quite tired enough to actually go to sleep, so I think I'll read a lovely coffee table book about Hawaii in the 1950's before I go to bed. I can't believe I got it for Christmas and I haven't started it yet! I've been excited about it. Hmm...so today I didn't go in to my meeting with my teacher because I feel like I'm coming down with something and I've also mysteriously pulled something in my right leg so I can't walk much. I spent most of today sleeping and then I watched some TV, played some Sims Online (Yay! It's free now!), and then had a 90's flashback while watching old little kids sing-a-long tapes with my nephew. And then later I played some Rock Band with my brother. So...yup. Tomorrow I've gotta practice my drums, because Thursday I have my lesson and rehearsal for the Doors show and I might go see my godfather's studio. Friday I think my mom and I are going to ambush my godmother at work (I guess it's just godparents week!) aaand then Saturday I have my first rehearsal for the Guns 'N' Roses/Motley Crue show. Exciting exciting. Sunday I'll just be lazy as usual I guess. Actually, I want to hang out with one of my friends. I'll have to find someone who's not busy and drag them to see Be Kind, Rewind with me. And then Monday I get to do homework because Tuesday I meet with my teacher again! Whew. Which reminds me, I have to go and pick up my worksheets. Ugh. I'm going to go and read now.

I wonder why I continue to write in this when I know no one but my mother reads it. And even she forgot about it for 2 months. How sad.

The Pizza Hut, the Pizza Hut, Kentucky Fried Chicken and the Pizza Hut...

Hmm...is it abnormal for me to be "living" off of my bed? I mean, it's king sized, so I just keep everything I use a lot up here to one side...I've got my laptop, books and magazines, remotes, Wii controller, crackers, a scrapbooking kit, a Chia pet (don't really know why), clean clothes, coloring books, face wipes...seriously, I need help.

In other news, today is my birthday. At 10 minutes until 4 this afternoon, I will nolonger be "sweet 16" =[ But I did get some fun gifts! My mom got a PlayStation 3 that's not just for me but for eeeeverybody so we can watch BluRay DVDs on our nice HDTV that hasn't really served it's purpose yet. Then I got Rock Band (woohoo, finally!), some t-shirts, a very 90's Donald/Daisy Duck bag that I love, makeup, the world's coziest sweater, earrings...uuuuhm...yeah and I think some other stuff that I've forgotten. OH! I got some stuff for my drums: brushes (score), a tractor seat stool (soooo comfy), and a splash cymbal =D Yay! Oh and like $80. Plus I'll [hopefully] be going to Arizona for a weekend to visit my best friend! Yay! And that replaces the trip to San Francisco I was supposed to take this weekend to go to the YouTube party, which replaced a birthday party. So I'm good. Now I'm gonna finish watching Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, yay!

Think

So I have this thought. Basically, I need motivation to lose weight. I just tried on all of the jeans in my closet and sadly the majority of them no longer fit. I don't really know why I'm gaining weight, but my butt, thighs, and I'm pretty sure my upper arms are holding on to fat for dear life. I'm eating the same, if not better, than I used to, and exercising the same amount (which is none), yet I've gone up a couple pant sizes. I'm leaning towards putting the blame on stress. And definitely heredity. But anyways, I want to take a nice hour-long power walk every day because sources say it works and it's pretty easy. But I need this motivation. So my thought...maybe I'll chart my progress through YouTube! Since I don't really care if people know how fat I am (I've already started losing weight, and am now at 165 from 168) I figure posting videos about my weight-loss "journey" will give me some sort of motivation, aside from fitting into my beloved clothes again. So...yeah. Let's see if I can get off of my lazy ass tomorrow and go to the Y for a nice hour on the treadmill.
