Workout death, My dream guy, and Varsity Fashion

Three different posts at the same damn time cuz im sleeeepeeehhh wooooooo!!!!

Like I stated previously, I am trying to get into better shape; my clothes are always slipping off of me and in a way I kind of feel sorry for myself when that happens, kind of like when you see a small child with clothes too big or a tall kids with pants too short for him, THAT kind of sorry. So I'm gonna bulk up by starting with my ass. My stomach is flat already so we'll leave that alone for a while, but the bottom needs to be 20 years old, not pre-pubescent boy bottom. I found this website called The Haute Bunny, where all these different workout tips are placed and posted.

 

 

The entire routine is quick, and it doesn't take long, so I decided to give it a try beforer work. Less than 10 minutes later I had to go outside in the 30 degree weather just too cool off. I did this workout twice today and I can really feel it in my buns. This better be good.

 

 

My dream guy

 

I'm not really the one for sappy romance stories. In high school, I told myself all the time that this moment, right here, right now, I might finally meet "the one" who sweeps me off my feet. That's not to say that I don't think love doesn't exist, it does..but growing up I never witnessed love: my parents hated each other so much that it was the norm and like 'meh' to me, loved ones either died, went crazy, lost it, divorced, etc, just something always happening.

 

To me the perfect guy wouldn't be good looks and an awesome body, it would be someone who makes me laugh and can put up with my sarcasm, weird sense of humor, and cray-cray mood swings. But then again, I want a GUY, when I hold his hand, I don't want it to feel like mine, I want it to feel manly, I don't want him to smell like roses, I want that guy smell, and most of all, I don't want him to be like "ok,  ok, ok, ok," to everything I say, I don't want a robot. But I am just a teeny bit shallow, I have to be able to look you in the face.

 

 

 

varsity fashion

 

I don't know if it was because of the recent issue of NYLON magazine or what, but I now have this strange facination with varsity fashion, like that vintage stuff that was worn in high schools and to the sock hops in good ol' retro America.

 

Betty Sue and Wally are going to the diner tonight to eat burgers, share milkshakes, and maybe, they'll hold hands!!

Sally Jean in the back thinks Wally is pretty keen, too. He IS pretty keen,  he has what we of the future call Swag. Look at him, flipped hair, hands in his jeans, Betty Sue, you better hold that hand tight!

 

I already have a letterman jacket that I boughtat forever 21 last summer, but it's too small and the pockets zip and its more like a small jacket instead of a protective jacket that I wanted. My dad has a jacket like that with the chicago bulls logo on the sleeves, but it's been years since I've seen that jacket. Oh well. But what I REALLY want is one of those sweaters with the 'unknown letter' as in, 'what does that stand for?'

2013 Things-I-Want-To-Do

According to the Mayan calandar, we all will meet our demise next Friday. But just in case that doesn't work out, I have a list of things I wish to actually accomplish in 2013. 

I wouldn't actually call them goals, because goals are defined as "the result or achievement toward which effort is directed."

Things-I-Want-To-Do are defined as "Things I'm gonna attempt to do and if they don't work out then fuck it."

 

Because, don't get me wrong, I set goals this year, and I have accomplished them with great sucess, but the pressure to achieve them was too much, and I placed a bunch of stress on myself.

 

So here are the list I have so far of the things I want to do in 2013 and if they don't work out then fuck it:

 

 

Join a Gym

 

This is one of those new years resolutions that people make, but I'm dead serious; there's a gym up the street that has everything, and I'm scrawny and I want that beach bod. If I can accomplish this, it means that I did well enough to conquer my laziness!

 

 

Travel to Canada

 

One of my older siblings lives a few miles away from the US/Canadian border, and they make trips there frequently. The only thing is I have to get a passport to get into the country. I'm not sure whether I want to go to Montreal (which is closer, and more French) in Quebec, or Toronto, which is..Toronto. I don't really know much about Canada, because here in America, we don't really care (sorry Canadians!), in fact, we don't see Canada as Canada; Anywhere north of the US is usually considered oblivion.

 

 

Celebrate my 21st Birthday in Style

 

My 20th birthday was depressing on purpose. I knew that I was leaving those dreaded teenage years behind, but when I look at myself and look at my life, I looked like a 16 year old, I lived like a 13 year old - boy that is, and I felt like an 86 year old. I didn't even want to go out to eat or anything. Since I am turning the legal drinking age in '13, I am gonna get wasted, which were originally NOT my intentions, but my new motto for '13 is "fuck it", so not only will I get wasted, I am gonna get chocolate-wasted. My sister wanted us to all fly to vegas and celebrate, but I am thinking of heading back to New Orleans and enjoy it non-family vacation style this time, yep, I am gonna go to the Zydeco clubs and dance with a drink in one hand and...well I can't dance with 2 drinks.

 

FINALLY embrace my natural hair.

 

This one shouldn't be a problem. I have had braids in my hair for 5 months now with a break in between, and I think my hair is making progress, I just need to take better care of it.

 

Get a Tattoo and A Piercing

 

Hell, why not?

 

Embrace the Recession

 

Where the hell have I been while my bank account was being depleted? I'm gonna start extreme couponing instead of looking at the paper and letting my dogs pee on it. And guess what else, there are thrift stores around town where the clothes are $.25 to $1.50 during the week, and they still have the tags on them, I figured I could start a blog about what I find in the thrift stores and compare them to that expensive shit in the magazines, and millions of people will read that blog just like they read this one! YAY!!



 

- Remember, you can't spell sassy without ASS.!

THANK YOU. For making me the person I am today.

This letter goes out to the guy that woke me up from my days of teenage haze.

Dear Guy,

You may not remember me, and you may not even care, but I do, because in the short time you lived a few houses down from me, my life changed completely.

I remember when you first moved in, and I saw your mom, you, your brother, and your family spending time outside in the summer afternoon. That first time we got off the bus together was terrifying; I sat in the front to make a quick exit, you sat in the back because you were already a socialite. As I walked several paces ahead of you, you called for me and caught up to me, asked me my name, my grade, and you seemed pretty nice. Over time we became really good friends. It may not seem like it, but I was a jealous bitch, and even though we did not date, I had already claimed you as 'mine' while I watched you talk and befriend other girls with furious rage, even going as so far to hate going outside after school for fear that you might be hanging out with that little Puerto Rican girl you often talked to that lived around the corner. I finally thought this is it, this is finally the year I could change my status on myspace (myspace was hot back then) from single to in a relationship, and there were 3 guys I had in mind. So far, you were leading them. 

Things got a little crazy after my best friend at the time snuck on my bus to come over. She knew how I felt about you, and she had a boyfriend at the time, but since she IS better looking, you were interested in her instead. How did I know? She told me on Halloween that you were flirting with her, and by Christmas she didn't even remember who you were! HA! 

That was very disappointing. I had gone out of my way to doll myself up for junior year so that I might meet someone new, and it crashes worse than the Hindenburg. So what was the point? I started wearing black clothing and sweats because I didn't care if I was unappealing or not, people started calling me Emo and Gothic, and I even got my hair cut in that short Lily Allen style: you missed it, Hun; I was living my life post-you.

So even though we were both non-factors to each other, this proves that if I can't find a guy that wont accept me for me, then it's not gonna work out, I will never change for anyone. As for you, aren't in jail or something? so you can't read this, right? good. I think you're suffering enough.

Signed,

D. Fortuna

More Sims Photoshoots: Sea Nymph

Here are one of my pics from my sea nymph photoshoot.

I had more pics but my computer decided to be an ass and corrupt those files. So the ones at my sims blog are the only ones managed to avoid corruption.

Apocalyptica

I have this strange fascination with apocalyptic stuff.

2 years ago, if you had mentioned anything about an apocalypse of the end of the world I would've flipped my rocker. Remember Y2K and that whole year 2000 thing? that scared the living daylights out of 7 year old me! All those commercials and t.v. shows talking about the power being shut off, stocking up on toilet paper, and when the clock finally reached 12, nothing happened, but I was already in a full fledged panic attack, to the point where my dad had to demonstrate that the power was still working (obviously- we weren't standing there in the dark). Then I remember someone saying that doomsday was on 6/6/06? And now this whole 12/21/12 thing? When I first heard of it, I was really scared and told people not to talk about it, but really, what can you do? save the world?


Anyhow, lately I have found things about worlds ending, Utopian and dystopic societies, sci-fi really fascinating, not fascinating as in ' post pictures from the newspaper on my wall about what may be our eventual fate', but as in movies, media, pictures, etc. Here are some:

• Nero's Welcome Reality concept album

This album eased me into the apocalyptic sub genre. The concept is basically the end of the world, and trying to rebuild it from the ashes. Just look at the album cover- it looks like something from a Stephen Spielberg film.

• Assassins Creed

 When I first found out that Assassins Creed was not really about history, but the protagonists' attempt to stop the solar flare of 2012, I admit I was really reluctant to try it, but a few years later I found myself hooked on the series. The plotline of the modern-day Assassin and trying to save the world can be a bit confusing though, but still, it makes you think, are we the ones saving our world, or are we the ones destroying it? Hmm..

• Mad Max Series

Guilty pleasure: I'll admit that I like the Mad Max series. Although I really don't know what's going on, all I know is that the government fell and the world is now in total anarchy and chaos. I watched Thunderdome when I was a little kid, because I was a big fan of Tina Turner and my mom told me she was in it. And I find it hilarious that Max is wearing that same leather jacket though the whole series. Speaking of Mad Max..

• Borderlands

  

There is no box or catagory or description that can describe the badassery which is the Borderlands series. Borderlands isn't apocalyptic, per se, but it does take place on a dystopic planet called Pandora, and theres loads of guns and violence that will turn even the girliest girl into a testosterone ridden mutant.

• Tank Girl

 

Tank girl is a series of comics drawn by Jamie Hewlett (same guy that draw the Gorillaz too!), and she is basically a kick ass warrior kicking ass in the kick ass future or something. I don't know. There was also a movie adaptation of it, which caught my attention on the television more than the Magic Mike DVD I was trying to watch on my laptop at the same time.

• Fallout Series

 The Fallout video game series is a superior gaming series going all the way back to 1988 when we thought the commies were gonna nuke us. Basically, Fallout follows a path of 'alternate history', meaning what would've happened if we had lost WWII or been nuked in the 50's like people thought we were. So now the world's water supply has radiation, there are mutated people aaaaaannnnnd everyone is fucking insane. Sounds like fun.

• Akira

 

 Although I've never actually SEEN this movie or read the manga, I really like the plotline, and the whole Neo-Tokyo backdrop is easy to visualize since, Tokyo is already kind of Neo-Toyko, right? Not make sense? hmmm? ABCDEFG?

Medieval Daze

I am perhaps going through another weird phase, and this one is medieval life stuff, things..

It all started with the renaissance faire.

To be honest, I think the renaissance and medieval times were totally separate from each other weren't they? The medieval era was considered the 'dark ages', which was basically western European society after the fall of the Roman empire. Many people were illiterate, barbarians and Germanic tribes raided villages frequently, and there was a plague that wiped out half of the population. There were the middle ages, and then there were the high middle ages, which is when things started to get better, namely, because the crusades gave people something to do.

The Renaissance is when people remembered that they had a brain, so the pursuit of knowledge, the arts, and other cool stuff that were around during the Roman empire times resurfaced. These are the "Romeo and Juliet" days, basically.

Anyway, the Renn Faire was very awesome, and I learned that it was a simpler way of life. People made their own things, religion was a very touchy subject, and humor was...interesting.

Then came Skyrim...ohhh Skyrim.
I thought that games about dragons and swords were for old school nerds, not the case when playing Skyrim. Any game where I am considered a 'dragonborn' is kick ass in my opinion. Now, speaking of dragonborns..

 

I hate being left out of the loop, and I always am. So I decided to find out what all the commotion was with this show. Willing or not, I can now see why this series has a huge fanbase.

I'm not gonna go into detail, maybe on another blog post, but there's nudity, blooshed, death, LOADS of death, and blondes, loads of blondes.

Skyrim actually eased me into this show, because I think it's actually similar in terms of location and city names, plus the mannerisms and customs are the same, but the show keeps me hooked in the most unusual way possible.

Shit happens. And in real life, it does happen. But on television and in movies, it doesn't. Most shows and movies follow the same format: 

Beginning - rising action- climax- falling action- conclusion. Good guys win, happy ending. Not exactly the case with G.O.T; for anyone interested in watching, just know that there will be lots of "NOOOOOOOO!!!" moments, because so far evil has prevailed. Even though the show is a fantasy drama action whatever, the plotlines are very down-to-earth, for example: someone could be of royal blood one minute, then the next their whole family is executed, then the next minute someone could rule over an entire kingdom and all is well, right? Nope, because in another minute that entire kingdom could be burned down, and it goes in a cycle, much like in real life.

I always thought that the medieval times were kind of lame, and the only people interested in them were those nerds who LARP and play dungeons and dragons but they are, in fact, really cool.
