Lift weights every day for 20 minutes.

I can't think of anything else.

Whow!
That took a lot of energy.
Piles of things done. Crazy town, really. So busy all the time. O_o Which, y'know, I expected. But still, it's something else entirely to see it for yourself.

Anyways, if anyone wondered where I was this past week. That's why I've been off messenger. So good to see everyone again though!
And as a general FYI, I'm always open for talking on messenger. Just usually a quiet drake is all.

Anyone else been to Vegas? I saw Blue Man Group. It was wild.

Finished up the last mile of my 50-mile December run. That was actually pretty awesome. Between the 20 and 40 mile mark it was really awesome as far as feeling better after the runs and feeling like I was really improving. Toward the end though it became more like it was just a chore. So I don't know how much good I was really doing myself.

Anyway, looking forward to not doing that in January. I'm open for suggestions about what to do next though!

I really hope you all have great years in 2012. Pick something you haven't done and make yourself do it. Don't make resolutions, set goals. Blah blah platitudes.

Have a happy new year and thanks for being my friend!

I see what you're doing.

Buttering me up.

Trying to become one of my familiars.

It won't work.

I swear, I wasn't trying to do anything. I was just being nice.

And... a little dragony / mean.

Ran four miles last night. That went pretty good.

Also found out that I should never chat with people on IM after midnight. I kinda start acting like how I assume I'd act if I were ever drunk.

Now I feel like crap this morning.

At least I'll finish my jogging today & tomorrow.

EDIT: Maybe going to LasVegas next week. Anyone around there?

Coming along pretty great. I'm totally gonna finish this goal. Usually I don't finish things. So this is nice.

Bought myself some camera gear. So that's fun.

I've gotten like... crazy amounts of lung capacity. During the day I can just breathe in real deep now at random and it feels awesome.

I guess that's it. Back to dragoning.

Got online today and I had FIVE! :D

I felt special / awesome. Also, so far this year is ending great. About 5 years ago I transitioned from being excited to get presents on Christmas to being excited to give out presents. It's pretty awesome. I got a bunch of unique candy, some posters, cooking gear, and dice games.

That's all. Off to my night run now.

Wait wait, what's that meme going around now? Leme paste that in real quick. Parts of it anyways.

Comment and I'll----
Tell you something I'll learn about you by looking at your FA page for 13 seconds.
Tell you which color you remind me of.
Ask you something I've always wondered about you, and your answer has to be as vague as possible to keep the suspense.
Give you a weird nickname

The closer I get to people, the more intimidated I become of them.

The more people get to know me, the less interested they are in me.

Aside from a few individuals, this is a demonstrated, repeatable fact.

1 mile. 8 minutes. 20 seconds.

I'm going to... get some water...

One day. I'll just skip today.
Then I get a text saying the jogging this is great.
rrgh... dammit, fine. Another mile today. Just one though.

Took some kinda online quiz thing and part of it was about activities you go and do to meet people. Holy crap, every single thing listed, like, about a dozen, I checked the 'rarely/never' box. I am.... such a hermit. Rrgh I hate that about myself. But you know what I hate more? Having to hang around other people. It's a terrible cycle that's going to make me into a bitter old man.

Here's a video review of starwars. It's an hour an a half long. It's fantastic. And there's two more that're both the same length. And y'know what? Totally worth it. Creative and entertaining and wildly smart and insightful as to where the movies went wrong. Taught me a lot about storytelling.

But like I said, super long. So only start watching if you have time or are ok with watching it split into a few parts.

Plinkett, you're my hero and your wife deserved what was coming to her. Please send me some pizza rolls.

I'm analytical. I've always known that. I've always assumed that I don't enjoy things as much as other people do because, say, when I'm watching a movie I'm analyzing the cuts and camera work in relation to the score and pacing and composition and feel and dialog and emotion whereas other people are just watching the movie.

During my jog today I realized, "wait, what if that's just my WAY of enjoying it? It's just different." All these past years feeling like I'm only getting half as much out of life as other people are because I can't relax and enjoy something as simple as a photo without mentally writing an analysis of the use of composition and color. Maybe that's NOT holding me back. Maybe I'm just enjoying things from my perspective rather than a set defined method of consumption.

I don't know if all that's true, but assuming it is, that bodes poorly for relating to other people. I may enjoy objects but this method doesn't exactly fit well with socializing with other people. Next up I'd like to place an order for an epiphany as to why no one ever notices me IRL, please.

After four miles of jogging today the brain started to wander. To an old friend. Someday, maybe I'll ask them out on a date. Mhm. My brain liked that idea. Eat some delicious hamburgers. Walk in the dark afterward holding paws. Maybe squeeze in a hug. That'd be pleasant. Squeeze in a hug toward the end, maybe go in for a kiss by... doing... uhm... Awr dammit c'mon brain why can't I even imagine it happening to me?

EDIT: Youtube of the now.

Playing scrabble and there's only one word I can play, sitting there staring at me in the tiles: TITTY.
.... I looked down and whispered, "No."

Another mile. Actually, three, but the best time for one mile was 9:30, which is... surprising to see myself improving this visibly. Then again, sweat dripping off my face means I've still got a ways to go.

Hey, Aeo. It's cool you read my journals. Thanks. :)

Watched the Matrix after not having seen it since... well, a long time. I'm seriously shocked how dated that movie is. I mean, certainly it's still a fantastic movie but now there's this whole subtext of basically laughing a little and thinking, "This was awesome back then?" Ah well. I'm sure Commando was awesome in the 80's.

I need one of these.

Tried running in the morning today.
I think it helped with my 'feeling terrible in the mornings' illness I've had this past week.
Hopefully I just have a mild cold. The kind that you barely notice but gives you immunity the rest of the season.

In conclusion.

Yesterday, y'all told me something. Today? Ask me something.

Two more miles today. Neither under 10 minutes. So that sucks.

Not sure if this is accurate or not but it's funny.

My close friend is doing $2 commissions.

You should post below and tell me something about yourself I don't know.

...but I don't really care.

I managed to run a mile today in 10 minutes without stopping. That was cool.

The onion never disappoints.

Ok, so I've run 4 miles thus far. Calves are not appreciating and it's a little unpleasant to walk. I did get through a mile without a break though. I did slow down a lot in the middle for a while though. I forget how much time it took. I should really keep track of that.

I got myself a badge. :)

Thaaaank you,  chromey

I guess I can use it as a bookmark or something.

*dragonrawers*

Made it my goal to run 50 miles in December. Finally had time to start today.

11 minutes. 1 mile. 2 breaks. Terrible.

This is horrible. Awful.

Horawful.

Only good part is the treadmill is at my place so I can jog naked.

EDIT:
Guys! It was a joke :P I was wearing boxerbriefs. My ample equipment is all safe down there. Hahah.

Them: Blah blah
Me: blah blah blah
Them: Hold on, my mom's back
me: . . .
Them (not to me): what? nah I'm on the phone... yeah... no... I'm talking to Arath... yeah.
me: . . . ?
Them: ok I'm back
me: Did you just say you were talking to Arath?
Them: . . . whut?
Me: You just said you were talking to 'arath'. XD
Them: Oh fuck.

*facepaws*
I don't know. I'll do this again. I need a distraction.

Post something here and I'll reply with one or more of the following:
-> A picture
-> A haiku
-> An insult
-> A brief glimpse of your death. Since dragons can see the future. Yeah, I know I'm not supposed to let the mammals know that but screw it I'm bored.

I may fall asleep though. If that's the case I'll get back to you in the morning.

$10 Chromey badges!

I don't know how many he's doing. But they're pretty awesome. Should be getting mine in the next day or two.

I look up to my friends. A lot. Also, jealous and unworthy of them.

Some of them work out and are so in-shape it's crazy.
Some of them are wildly intelligent and pursuing school far past where I managed to get.
Some of them are just plain wise.
Some of them are unbelievably brave.
Some of them are personable and make friends and form close bonds that I could never share.
Some of them are highly successful and earn lots of money.
Most of them are a combination of several of the above.

I'm none of these.

That's been getting me down here, lately. I've had an intense aversion to talking because of it. I've been trying to force myself to keep talking to people but it's tough. So I kinda just feel like I needed to let everyone know all at once why, y'know... like if you've felt I've ignored you or brushed you off or been acting more awkward than usual. Kind of been reflecting a lot on myself lately.

Yeah, I know you're not supposed to compare yourself to other people but still, I should be able to find SOME baseline good quality about myself. I just always come up empty.

Thanks for the warning! Now I know not to read any of your journals because they'll be filled with rage. :D

I don't know. Say something to me and I'll reply or whatever.

Reading some of you guy's posts about the con.

Dancing!
Drinking!
Music Listening!
Socializing!
Cool Friends!

I'm thrilled people had fun, but I'm also sitting here scowling to myself thinking what an awful, uncomfortable, unpleasant ordeal that all sounds like.

Th' fuck is wrong with me?

Th' fuck is wrong with YOU?

*scowls*
