Zumba: very energising but so very tiring!
I did Zumba for the first time yesterday! I’ve heard tonnes about this hyped-up new form of exercise, and I thought it would just be a dance class. I was so wrong!
I should warn all you folks before you go: stretch before you begin, and stretch afterwards. and don’t worry if you can’t keep up, because there’s a 110% chance that there’s someone who can’t keep up that’s right behind you.
My thighs are aching today. I can’t sit down or stand up or walk without them protesting. I’ve got an exam on tomorrow (yes, on a Saturday, how criminal!) and the last thing I want to worry about is my stupid legs.
This has proven to me just how unfit I am. Hopefully more Zumba = less pain as time goes on.
Merry Christmas in August, Muse fans.
Is this shopped? I hope not.
It’s not shopped :D It’s cut from a picture where there are a tonne more people in the same room.
I <3 this pic, I love both of these guys :)
10 things to smile about today.
I haven’t done a “happy” post in ages! Well I’m about to try and change that this afternoon.
Things that I smiled about today:
1. Realising that I left my fave Radiohead song sitting on iTunes shuffle this morning when I headed straight to iTunes for some music, so it was the first song I heard for the day.
2. People leaving lovely comments for the Muse fanfic I’m currently writing (online).
3. Seeing Thom Yorke wearing something other than a headband or singlet. In this case, it’s a really really cute hat!
4. The way the ep of Smallville that I wanted to watch downloaded really quickly.
5. The lovely warm sun and the way it made my feet less cold when I sat outside on the lounge chair. I just hope I didn’t get sunburnt!
6. Seeing Paul Thomson’s cartoon of Franz Ferdinand that was from a few years back…I think. He captured one feature of one particular member quite well ;)
7. The fact that my best friend saw the same pics of Thom Yorke and said he was cute too!
8. Realising that I don’t have to do 2 subjects for uni that I’m trying to avoid for another year or so if I don’t want to.
9. Getting down to the last part of the Radiohead fanfic I’m writing (yes I love writing these things now! It’s quite theraputic).
10. And…realising I have enough download limit left to watch the final of Smallville, season 9. yay!
a relationship ends.
My better half on the net, a fellow Aussie Muser, has just told me that she’s no longer going to be able to read my writing and she probably won’t get to finish her writing either. All because she’s taken on a job that requires a ridiculous amount of her time, but probably loads her pockets with more cash than I’d ever be able to scrape together right now.
It’s a long story, but I’m quite sad for selfish reasons. I seriously wanted to finish reading her little novella/fanfic and I don’t know what I’m going to do without her. She was an expert in the genre I was trying to write for, and she inspired me. I could bounce ideas off her, I could trust her to do a first-rate job when she proofed my work for me, and it was fun to chat to her about story ideas and other random things. To read her work was such a pleasure. We chatted almost daily.
I think I’ve become quite attached to someone I’ve never met but only spoken to via the net. Maybe this is unhealthy, but I still feel a bit sad and disappointed about it all. I should harden up.
Tonight’s playlist shall consist of Micro Cuts by Muse.
I hate this song, but I’ll listen to it for her like I love it :)
The sky about five minutes ago from my bedroom window. Kinda like my mood right now. Stormy with gray patches.
and I call this a blog…
Sorry for the gross negligence lately, blog.
I’m not really sorry though, real life has taken up most of my time and I have no intention of ending this affair just yet ;)
Today I have a thing I want to whinge about, and it’s not the fog that greets me when I get at 7.45am.
No, it’s the fact that when you’re trying to avoid people at university…they always end up finding you again.
I made some friends last semester in both tutes and lectures for my Law and Business subjects. These people hardly ever contact me (those that have facebook have done it when it suits them, and those that don’t have it haven’t asked me for contact deets, or I’ve reptitively sent emails and texts their way) and suddenly we’re all chummy again like it hasn’t been 5 weeks since I last saw their faces.
People, you need to learn a lesson: I no longer run the service called “rent-a-friend-when-you-feel-like-it”. Too many times in the past have I been screwed around when people have claimed to like me but it soon becomes apparent they only like me because I’m someone they can sit with/use her brains. It’s tiring and it hurts when you just leave me alone when you feel like it. I want to be worth something to you, or nothing at all. So I’d really appreciate it if you’d be my real friends or strangers to me, but not something in between. I am not the person you can use as an anti-loner tool in lectures and tutes. And I am no longer accepting requests to fill the silence between us, either. It was nice knowing you people, but from now on, my main priority is avoiding you. Just like you did for me at the end of semester.
Thanks for the memories!
