Mmph

[devilgrrl]

I'm so grumpy today and I really don't have any kind of good reason. I have reasons, but none of them are really justifiable.

I didn't get a chance to get my art supplies today. This makes me grumpy because I have a painting in my head that I really want out. I'm sure I'll be cranky when I'm working on it because I have such a clear picture of how it should look, right down to the colours I want, and it will be hard to make that mesh with the image in my head. Plus, I have another picture in the pipeline that I want. Both are going to be watercolours, which I haven't touched in ages. It's an excuse to start working up my portfolio, though, isn't it?

pinkandsilver, bosbullterrier, and I went to the magical land of Borders last night, officially because I am a fat kid and wanted a belly dancing video since until I find a paying job, classes are out. I is broke. I had a choice between the crazy twins and the slutty redhead; I went with the crazy twins since I've heard of them. I tried it out for the first time this afternoon and holy muffin, it kicked my butt. More correctly, actually, it kicked my arms. I have the weakest arms ever, mostly because I can only lift so much before my shoulders actually start pulling out of their sockets. It's also disgusting how much my joints crack and grind. Stupid arthritis.

Nicki and I spent a good amount of time both mocking current kids books and talking about the ones that we loved. I actually picked up copies of both The Westing Game and The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle since both of mine went by the wayside and/or fell apart from way too much reading.

Then, while I was running my mouth (what else is new?), someone came up to us and said they thought they knew us. It was one one of the kids, Chan, who used to work for us at Lids a million and five years ago. Turns out he's living the next city over from us. We spent a good two hours catching up on what he's up to (being very successful) and what we're up to (married) and made some tentative plans to go out for coffee in the next couple weeks. Nice to see my mouth is good for something. Even if I look different, I do still sound the same.

Then we mocked the State of the Onion address which is never hard. I will have to say it was nice to hear Madam Speaker. Time we finally caught up with the rest of the world, eh? Maybe the next thing we hear can be Madam President. And it will so be Laura Roslin. Hahaha.

I did nothing today besides prove that losing weight does not equal being in shape. I should call my mum because I haven't spoken to her yet. My great aunt is in the hospital, so I kind of also want and update on that. Steven's sleeping, so I had the last half of yesterday's sub for dinner because I don't cook. I had a Pop-Tart for lunch. I kind of also feel like I should be cleaning the bathtub because it's really grimy. Not that it would last if I did, which is probably why I'm not doing it.

I'm still loving the fringe. I finally have doing it down to a science, so I am only forced to wear my hat because of the frakking weather and not because I have no motor skills. I found my hobo gloves yesterday, too, so it's all around good. Now I just need to find where my paycheque went so I can cash it/pay bills.

Oh, so when did Tyra Banks become "fat"? Because I thought she looked really good, but perhaps I don't know anything.

I was watching about Tyra Banks too, and I didn't realize she was "fat" I guess. For as tall as she is, I don't think she weighs that much. I mean, sure, she's not model thin anymore, but that doesn't mean she's fat. It just means she's not a waif anymore.

[devilgrrl.livejournal.com]

She's apparently 161lbs at 5'10". If she's fat, I must be morbidly obese because I have 20lbs on her.

Silly us for thinking that she looks healthy. We must read more Cosmo.

I heard that about Tyra too. My Us Weekly had a pic of her in a bathing suit and said she weighs 150lbs, like that is a lot or something. It was dumb.
I need to start working out too. I got a gym membership for Christmas so I have no excuse.

[devilgrrl.livejournal.com]

I wish I could be "fat" like her, seriously. Society is so frakked up to think that way. I saw the bathing suit picture tonight and, aside from being a very ungflattering suit, she didn't look that bad.

It's so hard to be motivated, isn't it? I hate working out.

[amity26.livejournal.com]

I wish I could be "fat" like her too. It was an unflattering suit and seemed like it was much too old lady for her to be wearing. The stuff with her reminded me of the time when my husband's friends were complaining about some girl being fat because she weighed 140lbs. I wanted to slap both of them.
It is very hard to be motivated. It doesn't help that my membership was screwed up and the one time I went I couldn't work out then or the week after. Now I am just lazy. I've always hated working out even when I was skinny and worked out all the time I couldn't stand it. For the past few years I always seem to find something else I would rather be doing.

I bet even one of the ultra thin actresses would've looked terrible in that suit.

The gym rats used to scare me when we had a membership and the people who would parade around naked, preening. Not that I have a problem with nudity in a locker room, but come on... No need to strut because you spend your whole life on a Stairmaster. I think the only thing I miss is the pool.

The only thing keeping me motivated is that losing a little more weight and toning will make it easier to get my breast reduction approved.

I think you are right about that. It is probably just a suit that wouodn't look good on anyone. I saw on Extra that she is going to wear that exact bathing suit on her show and she is going to be talking about all of this stuff that the media is having a fit about.
I am scared of those exact same things at the gym. I never used the locker room at our old gym because I didn't want to see people parading around. It was scary enough to see them when I just went in to use the bathroom. I am think I am still traumatized by the whole middle school locker room experience.
I am trying to become motivated to lose weight so that I will be able to wear a whole bunch more of my clothes and also so my boobs will be smaller. They are driving me insane the the reduction route is looking a whole lot more appealing to me.

I wish my boobs would go down when I lost weight! I have some good bra links, if you're beyond DD. They even have swimsuits.

Middle school was so traumatic. People should quit blaming their parents for all their troubles and just blame middle school.

It's so funny because nudity rarely bothers me, generally speaking, but gym nudity flips me out.

[amity26.livejournal.com]

I am still managing to squish mine in to a DD. I just want to find a nude colored one and I will be set for right now.
I think you are on to something about middle school since I still have nightmares about stuff from then and wake up in a cold sweat thanking god that I am 29.
There is just something weird about gym nudity that is different from other types. I have seen people swimming naked and it didn't seem strange at all to the ladies prancing around in the locker room.

[devilgrrl.livejournal.com]

It's the prancing. I think that's what gets me. Like they're bragging because they're nude. Well, congrats, we're all nude under our clothes.

I have this bra in biscuit and I love it. It's so comfortable.

[amity26.livejournal.com]

My friend is still recovering from when she was in the gym locker room with her mom and an old lady came up to her and practically stuck her face in her chest and told her she had lovely breasts. She says that she is scared for life.
Thanks for the link. I will check it out. My boobs would probably thank me for putting them in an E since I squash them in the DD since that is the biggest I can find at Target.

Oh my god, I would've died! There's somethings you just don't expect!

You may also want to try http://www.figleaves.com. They have bras all the way up to a JJ too.

I believe I have the crazy sisters bellydance DVD as well. It kicked my ass too. So much in fact, that I gave it up until my body stops jiggling in places it shouldn't be jiggling.

Haha, yea, I try not to look at those wobbly bits while working out. Luckily, I was too busy dying during the arm exercises to think about my flab.
