Sharpie Stealer

Just Because…

Just because its not legal doesn’t mean its not right. Take gay marriage for example. Just because it isn’t legal doesn’t mean it isn’t right.

The Long Post of Random

I post a lot, and they’re usually kinda long, so have fun.

I have decided to learn Swedish, and therefore have decided to get into Swedish songs and (hopefully) literature. Right now I’ve tasked myself with being able to sing all of Byssan Lull, a Swedish lullaby. I have it on repeat so I can get it stuck in my head. Later I’ll get deeper in, but that’s it at the moment. Also, I’ve decided to loose weight (Yay, Sharpie!) since I’m fifteen, five feet tall and weigh almost 200lbs. Yeah, not safe OR healthy. My first order of business is cutting back on all sugary drinks : soda and koolaid being the biggest issues. My other huge issue is potato chips. I have to cut back on the crisps. I’m thinking about lowering myself to one soda every two weeks to start and only one bag of normal crisps a month. All other crisps will be baked. The diet won’t be my only way to lose weight either. I’m going to start walking regularly. I don’t care what my body tells me, I’m going to get in shape (at least a little bit) before I’m eighteen. I don’t want to be overweight. I don’t want to be the fat kid in class who looks horrible because she can’t control herself. I’m also going to start chewing gum to keep myself from biting my nails. I do it obsessively, without even noticing. I hope the gum chewing might help. If that doesn’t work, I’m putting a rubber band on my wrist and popping it whenever I get the urge to bite my nails OR drink/eat one of my no-no things. Maybe that will break my habit. Lastly, I’m a very tactile person and I tend to need something to do with my hands or I fidget uncontrollably. I’m not sure what to do in this situation. When I’m in class listening to the teacher, I move all around and I keep getting asked if I need to use the restroom. I may get a rubber band ball and play with that in class, if they’ll let me. I just need to roll it between my hands and I’m good.

Adios! Sharpie

365 Days of Butterflies

So, in support of the Butterfly Project, I decided to do a 365 Days of Butterflies. Each day, I will draw one (or more, depending) butterfly on a piece of normal white copy paper. Some days, they might be coloured, some days they’ll be plain, and some days they’ll look good or they’ll look bad because I was feeling like shit but still drew you all a butterfly. I will try to post the butterfly by 8:30 Central Time.

I also decided that, one day a week, I’ll let one of my followers tell me what they want the butterfly to look like. They’ll get a message on the paper as well.

Come see me at 5:30 for today’s butterfly!
