Day Seven: Kazoo Hero

6/18/13, 11:10 AM PDT

Watched a bit of The Amazing Spider-Man on TV today. I don't understand why everyone hates that movie, I think it's a great new perspective on Spider-Man, much more loyal to the original comic too. But I guess people just love Tobey Maguire and Mary Jane and Green Goblin.

Don't get me wrong, I love Raimi's trilogy, but I like the new one so much more.

Anyway, gonna be finishing my story today. Lot of work left to do on it because of how unmotivated I've been, so wish me luck!

Ended up procrastinating even more. Started out watching the Spill review for The Purge just to see if I agree or disagree with their opinions and inevitably, that spiraled into TWO HOURS of watching Spill reviews, which eventually led to a hell of a lot more procrastination.

Now I'm back on track, typing away at the rewrite of The Purge. Don't you worry.

Lots and lots and LOTS of work to be done on my story. Jeez, I procrastinated WAY too much. Curse you, Skype Group for being so entertaining with your karaoke parties and your Tumblies. *shudders*

Oh, more on the karaoke, absolutely ROCKED IT. Even at songs that I didn't know, I always got in top three out of the four of us. Always got first place except for one song, "Skyfall" by Adele, because Kayla practices that song in the shower and Angela used her AutoTune there.

Yep, I just rock. My vocal prowess is unmatched.

Well... vocals prowess and kazoo skills. And it's not even really a kazoo, more like a comb and a piece of paper, which is a pretty viable substitute.

Realized that I forgot to exercise today, so I did a few push ups, sit ups, and a few parkour related exercises with ridiculous names. Seriously, my coaches come up with the strangest names for exercises. Salmon jumps? Diddy kongs? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

To be honest, a salmon jump looks exactly how it sounds like. You go in a squatting position, jump up, flop your body like a salmon, and return to starting position. It sounds silly, but my coaches say "it works out your abs and your legs at the same time." I guess it works because after a few of those, my stomach ached. Or maybe that's because I swallowed an entire chicken drumstick a few minutes ago, can't really tell.

As for Diddy kongs... they're too weird to describe, you have to see it.

Also, a bit disappointed that I won't be going to the Del Mar fair with the Skype Group, but I guess it's a bittersweet thing since I'm getting my braces off that day and I do get a lot of time to work on my stories which I haven't been able to do for a lot of summer, so there's that.

Still would rather go to Del Mar though, but my parents are complaining that I'm doing too many things with my friends even though they complain all the time that I'm on the computer 24/7. But I guess that's life, all about finding the perfect balance.

Ooh, random thing that just popped up in my head, I should learn to be more social. I'm gonna go talk to random people when I pick up/drop off my sister tomorrow.





RFotD: At 325 pounds, William Howard Taft (1857-1930), who was dubbed “Big Bill,” was the largest president in American history and often got stuck in the White House bathtub. His advisors had to sometimes pull him out.
