Let's try that again

No gym yesterday but I am going to try again today for around noon-ish. Nothing on the go for today so it shouldn't be a problem. Never even typed a word for that fic. I got all caught up surfing the www for nice pics of JM and playing my guitar. I really have to stop letting me distract myself, but JM is such a lovely distraction. It seems that I am getting to be a bit of a quiz junky. I actually took a quiz that would tell me what kind of butt I am. Maybe I'll add some of the stranger quizzes I've come across to my journal later; why should I have all the fun?

Plans changed

Unfortunately, the gym will have to wait until tomorrow. The electrician decided he wanted to finish wiring the basement today and my small window of opportunity went out the window. On the bright side, the basement can be completely dry walled now. I can't wait until it's finished. It's half of a house out of commission. Time to get started on that fic.

Agenda for today

Ok, today I get my ass back to the gym after an extended hiatus. I'm actually looking forward to getting back. I've lost most of the weight that I wanted to before I started on the weight training. Gonna try and tone up and get some definition. Having a pool and knowing that you will be spending most of your summer in a bathing suit is definitely motivation. So, that means that I have about 4 months to get this body of mine built. It's hard to believe that in only 4 months time the sun will be shining brightly and the flowers blooming since all I see out my window is snow, snow, and more snow. Thank god it's not as cold as yesterday. It was -21C, without the wind-chill, in the morning, burrrr. After the gym I plan on getting the first chapter of my fic finished or at least started. I'm also going to start hunting for someone who will be willing to beta read it for me. I think I may ask estepheia if she knows of anyone who might be interested. Lastly, I will have to seriously consider getting this place in order. It's starting to look quite dumpy around here. Oh, how I loathe housework.

A little fan fic

So, I thought that I'd try my hand at a little fan fic but was waiting for a plot to come to me. I finally came up with one that didn't seem too lame. I think that I may be going about it a little ass backwards though as I wrote the end first. Word count is 1,651 on my first draft. Now all I need to do is find someone to beta it for me; after I get the beginning done of course. The story itself is set in season 7 of Buffy and has a B/S pairing. Perhaps I should wait to outline the story until I know exactly where it's going. I'm off to bed now. I've spent most of the day on the comp. writing and the old eyes are getting a tad buggie and tired.

Inkblot test

I took a Inkblot test and here's what it said about me. Check it out if you're interested.Emode's Original Inkblot Test Akasha, your unconscious mind is driven most by Resistance You approach the world with your guard intact because unconsciously, and perhaps consciously, you want to maintain an element of control in your relationships with people. You tend to hold your private experiences just out of reach of others. You're not one to immediately show all your cards, to let people into who you really are until you're ready.Unfortunately, that sometimes means you also hide things from yourself. You may find that your desire to remain guarded backfires, affecting your self-awareness. Why are you like this? It's possible that you act in this manner because of a deeply-rooted fear of being exposed, or of truly expressing yourself. To protect yourself from this fear, you act in the opposite manner — you are guarded. There is a certain respect that comes with resistance, an unconscious understanding that the human psyche is very vulnerable. We all feel we have a lot to hide, and you are not one to be intrusive or thoughtless about how you approach sensitive topics with others. Therefore you inspire a sense of safety in others when they are around you. Your psyche is very deep, very rich, and the more you can let yourself know (both the good and the bad), the more you will be able to appreciate who you really are. Though your unconscious mind is driven most strongly by Resistance, there is much more to who you are at your core. Want to try it out yourself? http://www.emode.com/tests/inkblot/

Bits and Pieces

First off, I'll say that I enjoyed Buffy last night although I would have liked to have seen less of the SIT's and more of Spike. We got some Spuffy moments which are always nice albeit few and far between. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season.-------------------------------------------- I came across Jerry Springer while channel hopping the other day and, not unlike a train wreck, couldn't help but watch a bit. I swear I could feel my I.Q. dropping, moment by moment, as I watched. It seems to me that the show has resorted to hiring piss poor actors, given them a basic story line, and then asked them to adlib everything else, which they do terribly. Who actually watches this crap?--------------------------------------------- I was feeling a little creative the other morning and wrote another song inspired by the fact that I am unable to sing in front of people. It's called "The Great Divide" which, in my song, is a metaphor for all the things within ourselves that hold us back in life. In my case it's what holds me back from singing. If you're interested, here it is.The Great DivideFaithfading fastwhy won't it lastit's like a landslideFearI can't begincan't hold it init won't be deniedChorus:Looking outinto the Great Dividecan't help wonderingwhat's on the other sideI tried to jumpbut it was far too wideI couldn't get pastwhat it impliedDoubt creeping ina deadly sinof the worst kindNerveit falls awaywhy won't it stayit's been left behindChorus: x2
