Challenge Rules!

Alright Crystal, I am going to propose to you some rules for these challenges. Mostly because I am bored and waiting patiently is not really my style.

Rule #1 - you have seven days to answer a challenge

Rule #2 - you must include a challenge for the other person within the seven days

Rule #3 - failing to either respond to a challenge or provide a challenge for the other person results in a BONUS CHALLENGE that you must complete in addition to the current challenge you have not done. They will continue piling on each week you are late/do not provide a challenge.

Rule #4 - VETO RULE - if you receive a challenge you absolutely do not want to do you can veto it but you will HAVE to complete the next challenge given no matter what.

So please review these rules and in your response please let me know if there is anything you would like to change or modify or add. Keep in mind these are fun silly challenges that really don't require much thought into. Also keep in mind you are nearing the end of your first week so you need to answer soon if you don't want to have DOUBLE CHALLENGES. Or whatever your better idea will be for an alternative title.

In other news, while I patiently wait for Crystals 15 random things about herself I am plotting my next few challenges for her. Although I only have the next one planned... Brace yourself, it's going to be exciting and great and full of interesting things! Or it'll be awkward and boring and make no sense. Either way.

How does my office get so messy so fast... This is annoying.

CHALLENGE #1

Alright folks, things are changing around here! For the better though because I am boring and we all know that. So to help this, I am bringing in the coolest kid in town: CRYSTAL! She is going to be my new blogging buddy on this and together we will take over the internet! Or you know... not. We will probably just share things that we think are fun, and make little challenges for the other to complete.

So, everyone be nice to her. Which is funny to say because she might be the only one who reads this but whatever.

To start this off, Crystal, please tell us all a little bit about yourself. (Just not too specific because you know, the internet and all. Attack squirrels can only protect you from so much.) You know what... edit - you need more structure for your challenge and it needs to be slightly more challenging. Tell us fifteen things about yourself. That is a nice first post for you. ANNNDDD GO!

I need a buddy

Hi! I went to a wedding on Saturday and still, two days later my legs have not returned to normal. I think I must have either torn every muscle in my calves OR am just so incredibly lazy that dancing like a fool is too much. Probably the latter but whatever. It was super fun and totally worth walking like a robot for 2+ days.

Motivation keeps alluding me at appropriate times. Every time I have a few hours that I could get a lot of work done I somehow end up on Youtube. Its a dangerous place. especially because there was the big Comic Con just last weekend and now YouTube is filling up with all the glorious panels and interviews and that's what gets my geek juices flowing. I live for interviews. I know its weird. But I could absolutely spend entire days watching interviews. I used to want to have my own talk show when I was a kid because I would watch the Rosie O'Donnell show and thought it looked like so much fun but now I more or less think it looks a bit spooky. Especially because I watch a lot of the interviews and I see how many times they get asked the same questions, that has got to get annoying. All the fancy famous people must hate that.

I guess its part of the job though so they just have to put up with it. There should be some kind of required ... reading? for the interviewers though. Stop asking the same questions. Not that I would be able to think of anything different though, I can't even think of anything to talk about here which is to no one. Maybe thats the problem, I need someone to have interactions with. A Hank to my John if you will... only Crystal gets that, its an internet reference. lol. *Hint, crystal... you should join this adventure and then it will be more interesting!* Who doesn't want to here Crystal and I banter all the time? NO ONE!

That could be interesting though.. we can take turns and then its not only my fault when it goes dead!

Anyways... What else can I talk about today...

I got nothing. Crap.

Although you know whats kind of annoying? Having to mail things. You know what I used to love, MAIL. Now I hate it. You want to know why? Because I hate buying stamps. Because I am cheap as all *swears*. I don't want to spend the like under one dollar cost to mail something because I am cheap. So pathetic on my part really. Its under a dollar.

This is really interesting stuff isn't it? Ya, real super fascinating. I can't even think of a good lie that would make my life sound more awesome. Its that bad. By bad I mean boring. I should.. just leave for now. Perhaps come back and try again tomorrow. I forget what the hell I used to do here. I will go read and figure it out. Also try to convince Crystal to blog with me.... I am going to post this on the internet before even asking her though. So that will be like super big let downs to the ... one of you reading this who isn't Crystal. Crystal you can't let Grampie down. Just kidding, he will just hate you if you do. Just kidding. Or am I? I am. I will stop now.

Alright fine

I will try to update this. I suppose a lot has changed but also not really anythings happened.

Update #1: I currently don't have a job. My contract is up with my previous job and so I am in the process of trying to figure out what to do. Also I am working on my book so that I don't have to hate what my job is so much. So that is one big thing I guess. Mostly means that I get to sleep a bit more and then also that I am extremely broke.

Update #2: There is nothing else really. My life is pretty lame I guess.

Just working on writing. Well mostly I am working on trying to become motivated to write more. I have like.. two chapters of absolute garbage that I hate for my book but I need to get to the good stuff so I can go back and rewrite it so its all witty and smart sounding. Which I am not so great at because I am rarely witty and for sure not typical-definition of smart. I am more or the knows-too-much-about-pizza kind of smart. Also I have the focus of a baby. I write like three sentences and then tend to get distracted and need snacks and bathroom breaks and check the internet breaks.

Needless to say its not going well. And now I am procrastinating with this. But that's probably okay because I have been completely ignoring this. Although its not like I have a rabid fanbase so its not so bad.

So for now on I will do what I can to write some jibberish in here like 4-5 times a week. okay? deal?

Apparently I am ignoring you

Sorry about that. I lie a lot... Its probably would be a problem if I had a conscious but instead ... I have the internet.

Makes no sense but that's fine.

Sorry about ignoring you and lying that I would be back. But nothing has really been going on that I need the internet to know. My brains as messed up as usual except now I have netflix to distract me so that's always a good time.

Anyways that's all I had to say for right now. I will try to at the very very least post some pictures more often of random crap.

Here's one of Winston. He was legitimately asleep like this for a while. Snoring and everything. It was super uncomfortable for me as I was trying to draw Colleen's birthday card and his head was jabbing into my side.

Anyway have a nice day!

Chocolate Hangover

I went to visit my Grammie and Grampie (aka The Best grandparents ever) and my Grampie asked me why I wasn't updating as often. The simple answer: Nothing has been happening to me that is remotely entertaining.

I mean, there is always Winston who is just funny always, but I am pretty sure its one of those "you had to be there" things or the "my baby is so awesome" things where no one else cares that your thing can do slightly different things from theirs.

Anyways, all in all, nothing has really been happening.

I have been trying to be good diet-wise which never lasts long. Usually until the next holiday which in this case was easter. Now I am on a major Chocolate craving binge that I may or may not have satisfied by eating an entire solid bunny in one sitting. Whoops.

It's just... this is how it goes.

Logic Brain: "Don't eat anymore chocolate Tanya, you are A: fat enough and B:will just get fatter"

Hungry Tummy: "Or, you could eat one more Giant Kinder Egg and then you can go back to eating protein bars and counting calories."

Self: "Well that sounds good right brain?"

Brain: "No. Its lying. It always lies. It says just one more, but remember the freezer cake incident? And by incident I mean month."

Self: *shifty eyes* "I don't know what you are referring to but it doesn't sound like me.

Brain: "Or what about the KD binge that lasted several months, or the Ice cream addiction of any year after you began to eat food."

Tummy: "Don't listen to him, he's just bullying you. You are lovely just the way you are. No need to diet. You have a brain, even if its annoying. If it was so smart it could charm people into liking you for your personality!"

Personality: "Hey! Don't drag me into this mess, you know I'm unreliable and mostly unpleasant!"

Self: "Please all of you stop yelling!"

Brain: "Shut up all of you, her sanity is barely hanging on here, we can't all fight otherwise she will lose what she has left"

Sanity: "Pickles are the most majestic of all the fruits."

Brain: "See. It's too late."

 

And that's how I lost my sanity because I was hungry for chocolate. Did that make sense? Grampie, regret asking me to post more? Now you are probably just worried about me...

The only thing that concerns me about all this is that I don't even like pickles. They freak me right out.

PS: People of Fox - do you see what happens when you don't air New Girl on its appropriate day? This happens.
