Tumblr change

I wanted my main blog to be my personal blog, so I had to make a new account. My main blog on this one is for my Custom Pony hobby that I have not been active in for a couple years. I will eventually be active again but probably not till after I move into a place with two bedrooms. I will not be using this blog any longer. Follow me at LoverOfAllThingsDragon.tumblr.com

The Fit-Folk at the gym aren't making fun of you

Leaving the locker room today, red faced and exhausted, I passed by a couple just arriving. They were my age or younger, fit and attractive. The sort of folk that make me cringe in shame for how I look. And as I walked toward them, the guy raised his hand in the air for a high five. I realized I was the only one around and he intended it for me. I had a moment of shy panic before I reached him, but I gave him a high five and he told me "good job!" The girl gave me a big grin. And I managed a very sincere "thank you!" That is the second person to acknowledge me this week. The second stranger to show me support and approval. Not gonna lie. The though of random strangers being so supportive and nice made me shed a few years of gratitude. Make it a goal at the gym to congratulate or appreciate someones workout, no matter how simple it is. It's hard to be there for a lot of us, and we deserve that admiration and support. I'm going to make it a goal to struggle through my shyness and acknowledge someones effort when I'm here.

Ugh

Feeling a little disgusted with myself right now. My training session got cut short because I felt like I was going to throw up again. This time I blame myself entirely. 1. I had trouble sleeping yesterday and woke up way too early, which meant I crashed last night around 12 or 1 am. Which led to me sleeping til 5:30 so I could get up and go to the gym. 2. Because I set my alarm for 5:30 instead of earlier, I didn't get to eat as early as normal. I normally eat an hour and a half to two hours before the gym. All I could manage was two tablespoons of peanut butter half an hour before gym time. 3. I choked the peanut butter down with super cold water from the fridge. About 16 ounces. I vaguely recall something about super cold water being bad for a workout or someone overheated. 4. Because I didn't wake up early enough to actually wake up, I also didn't have time to warm up at my own pace. Jogging in place is killer when simply going up one flight of stairs can get my heart rate up to 130. All those things combined led to me feeling like puking 10 min into my workout. I'm disgusted with myself and vow not to repeat this mistake. My trainer called it early since I was getting ill and had me go upstairs and just do light cardio. So I did 20 min light cycling. Only burned maybe 70 calories at most on the cycle. Bleh.

One reason why I love anime. The emotion of the voice acting is too strong

i honestly cant tell if this is supposed to be a comedic scene or what, i dont really understand this show

did

did this anime waifu just tear down the edgy pretentious pseudointellectual facades we construct for ourselves as an obfuscating substitute for actual worth of character and accuse us of being so wrapped up in our own insular self-validating atrophied emotional comfort zones that we can only relate to others through pop culture allusions and mental dominance contests instead of a genuine emotional connection between two human beings

i don’t know what this is but i’ve never seen such a smackdown of condescending coolguyness.

It’s from Inō-Batoru wa Nichijō-kei no Naka de, English title ‘When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace’. The main character has a bad case of chuunibyou - ‘eighth grade syndrome’, a.k.a. that thing teenagers do when they really really want to be special and edgy and end up being insufferable for a few years instead. This is Hatoko losing patience with him, and it is great. I personally also interpret it as a takedown of certain irritating trends in manga that are trying very hard to be deep and cool and fall resoundingly into ludicrousness. So it’s all pretty cathartic for me :D

damn, and here was me just thinking about how almost all my examples of this kind of insufferable freshman ~philosopher~ have been all about the animes

i might have to watch this thing.

Hey friend, have you tried typing games? I mean I'm 22 and still love them and I know my wpm has increased because of them? Maybe reward yourself every 5 wpm increase. When you hit 35 with mistakes, (1/2)

Avatar

Continued: buy yourself 1 item you've been thinking about getting. 40 with mistakes, get a nice beverage from your favorite beverage shop. 45, a yummy lunch you'd otherwise not do. 50, a fancy dinner, 55 a thing of sweets (or your fave snack!) Etc! (2/2)

Hi valyrianstories !! Thank you so much for the suggestions! I am using typing software that I don't think comes with games.. Mavis Beacon teaches typing. I'll look into finding some games to try! I might be being too hard on myself by pushing for increases of ten WPM ... I'll give five a try!

Anxiety

When someone around me is angry and vocal about it, speaks loudly, bangs around, storms about... It triggers my anxiety. I work with someone who does this on a regular basis. At least it reminds me to take my medication.
