Bookworm's Disease by Lavine on July 1st, 2013, 7:25 pm
This being a writer's RPG, I'm assuming most of you are into reading. Well, I have a confession to make. I am obsessed. There is no way to describe how much I love reading, even stupid things like brochures. It is calming to me. When I'm nervous before getting on stage or going to a party (because that causes me serious anxiety), I can just read and it completely and entirely relaxes me. I will read at night and it helps me sleep, or when I'm excited or frustrated to calm myself down. Even when I'm disappointed, it makes me feel better to enjoy the success of my favorite character. There is no end to the uses of books. This is all fine and dandy until I run out of things to read. I cannot count the number of times I've run into the living room, practically hyperventilating. "Ijustfinishedthisbook-myfavoritecharacterdied-IneedanewoneNOW!" My family doesn't even think it's weird anymore. They do think it's weird however, when I cry over books. Not throwing a fit like a toddler when I can't get them, just mourning my beloved characters' deaths. Sometimes, you just can't help it! *Cough* The Fault In Our Stars *cough* During Summer, it seems there is no shortage of friends shoving books into my face. "Here, read this! It was my favorite. Oh, and this one...and this one..." But when school starts up, it's like I hit a book drought when, seconds earlier, I had been swimming in the oasis (wow, that was a freaky comparison). The lack of good reads in the school library is just one more reason to fear starting High School. For those of you who may or may not be in a book drought of their own, I have gathered a list of books that will keep you busy for at least a week. *dramatic announcer voice* Here I have compiled- Tahlia's list of can't-put-it-down books: *City of Bones by Cassandra Clare *Legend by Marie Lu *Divergent by Veronica Roth...

Food. My Favorite Subject. by Shijara on April 21st, 2014, 5:53 pm
Hey, Miz.
It's me, Maria.
The diet has begun. I really don't like the term diet, because every time I say it, people scowl at me and say stuff like, "You don't need to lose weight! You're already skinny!" It's irritating. Mostly because I think we all have ideals of what we would like to see our body as. And they're right. By most people, I am considered thin. But I want to be healthy (I can't emphasize this enough, guys). I want to eat stuff that gives me energy and vitamins and all that jazz. It's true that I've craved nothing but hot fries all weekend, but I think that is just an example of the problem.
I also have a little bit of a belly pudge. It happens. I would like to get a bit more muscle, and at least make that go down. So, no, I'm not overweight, but I think I could improve. Some people want curves, some want thigh gaps, I would would like strength and endurance. Worst case scenario? It doesn't work out, I hate it, and I go from there.
Okay, sorry. /rant over.
Moral of the story: Aim for your goals. You're beautiful.
So, I went grocery shopping last night with my roommate and some buddies of ours. I bought a few things with the a little help from some friends (*breaks out into The Beatle's song*). A sneak peek:
Lean chicken breast Spinach Broccoli Tuna Wheat Bread Total cereal 2% Milk
These are a just a few of the things, but everything I bought was less than 50 bucks (that's my personal goal when I go shopping). For breakfast this morning, I had a measured out bowl of Total, a banana and a water bottle. To snack on, I measured out a few nuts to nibble on, and some more water. I think I'll make some rice and chicken tonight, maybe with some spinach.
So far, I think I'm doing pretty good. At least it's not White Castle, right? Also, I want to give... [ Continued ]

The Two Giants by Malia on December 19th, 2009, 6:40 pm
Subtitle: The Principle of Making Possible What Is Impossible Firstly, I start with a quick apologize: The previous week has been busier than I thought. I blame it on the fact that everyone at school craves for holidays, having time for oneself and that very much takes away motivation, inspiration and energy. Fortunately, the last tests will be over by Wednesday. I try to do as much as possible at this weekend, and after Christmas. (For those who haven't find out yet: This also goes for Alice, my mod account.) Secondly, I have to admit how much I love what topics we discuss in lessons this year. Perhaps I’m turning into a nerd, but I’m not uncomfortable with it. Something has changed during summer of this year (Summer of ’09 instead of ‘69, lol) and my communication skill and self-confidence have developed significantly. Naturally I don’t feel perfect, but much better. Anyway, my favorite subject is Psychology/Philosophy. You just have to love it when we discuss such fancy exciting topics as development psychology, education and traumas. We’re going to continue with criminality, astrology and psychic illnesses next semester, so there are still many things I look forward to. Two days ago we watched a film about a theatre production from a French troupe called ‘Royale de Luxe’. They travel around and perform their pieces in different cities – literally in the streets of the cities! In Berlin, they carried out a huge project – what we saw was a one hour documentation about it. Two giants had been constructed, a little female one and a big male one. The director, who is an amazingly dedicated person with a very strong personality, made up a story about the two living together when Berlin was still a huge swampland. The big one built a boat for the girl to travel over the water with, but shortly after there was an earthquake when monsters of the water and monsters of the earth fought a battle, destroyed the area and a high and robust wall of stones and earth divided i...

Failed Rituals by Spite on February 4th, 2012, 1:20 am
I really wish I had left that damned light switch alone. Who would have thought the flick of a switch could mean the difference between life and death. Actually everyone’s thought that. That’s why I turned it on. Stupid little rituals that we take from childhood. The light will chase the monsters away, the blanket over your head will save you from the boogie man. And you just get more of these rituals as you get older. As long as you lock the doors and turn on the home security system, you can rest your head happily in your cozy little fortified home. No killers or psychos, monsters or boogie men. But it doesn’t work. None of it. We always slip up some how. The one time you forget to lock that door. That’s when they get you. I would have been sound asleep if I hadn’t been woken by the loud slam as the front door blew open. I stumbled out of bed and down the hall to see it swinging back and forth. I moved quickly down the hall to secure it. A moment of panic swelled inside of me. My home felt like a crime scene. It wasn’t my safe little sanctum anymore. Despite the overwhelming feeling of intrusion, there was no sign of disruption. Just the door. Just my careless mistake. I couldn’t comprehend it at first. It had to be a burgler or some psycho. I looked around the rest of the house. Checking every cupboard, every crevice. Nothing. I felt stupid but relieved. I just wanted to get back to bed, to forget this whole embarrassment. I flung myself back down on my bed, closed my eyes for just a second. I sat back up. There was no way I’d fall asleep unless I double-checked that I locked the door this time. I mean I was sure I had done it this time but I felt this was justified paranoia. I got to the door and twisted the handle roughly about a dozen times, each time feeling the resistance of the lock. I smiled. Safe. I turned on my he... [ Continued ]
