i’ve realised that even after all this time,
I still live for dubstep.
listening to a radio 7 adaptation of 'The Birds' is not the most soothing thing, tbh.
i burnt 500 calories on a gym session the other day. i’d forgotten how good that kind of hard work feels. you step off feeling exhilarated and a bit weird, i have to admit i felt a bit indestructible afterwards.
i do not want to be pigeon-holed as a weak little girl. i want to look strong and fast and fit. i want to be thin, but not starving. i want to be able to run for hours, and cycle for miles.
my weight training is going well. i push myself little by little, doing low weights but plenty of reps, and it is definitely getting easier to do 20 reps in one go. just keep pushing, really.
i can’t wait until this resit is over. when i can stop spending all my time reading about the EU and wishing i was doing other things, seeing people, sorting my room out, making things, cooking things, drawing things. urgh, the EU. it controls a lot more of your life than you realise. try reading the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and you’ll see what i mean. whilst you’re there, read the Citizen’s Directive 2004/68 and you’ll get what i mean even more.
laws on absolutely everything.
just want to be free. start next year with a clean slate, get back into my fitness work, get back to where i feel happy to my body and my fitness levels again.
might push it after my exam in time for my birthday.
the pains of being in the UK. where all 'vintage' is rubbish.
i just found an Ebay shop that sells the most beautiful vintage clothing i’ve ever seen.
but it’s in the feckin US. damn our greedy customs laws!
Dying time.
I decided to be thrifty, and bought an American Apparel playsuit from Ebay, secondhand, for a £5er. not bad eh? one problem: it was white.
Sooo, i bought some dye for £2. I went for one that works well with mixed-fibre materials.
I went about the dying process…
Et voila!
i loove the way it’s come out - the stitching is made from a manmade fibre, so it didn’t take the dye at all, but i love the effect - a denim blue playsuit with white stitching! (the colour is nicer than in the photo btw)
yaaay success!
whoops.
just gashed my middle finger up preeetty bad. i had blood running down my arm and now it’s all throbby and making me feel sick.
note to self: be more careful when picking up the detachable blades of your food processor. they can cut through your skin like butter.
tuesday revelation.
i’ve started doing weights again. i think part of me is finally coming round to the fact that i am built to have big shoulders and arms. therefore, i am going to perfect them, and make them the best god damn shoulders and guns you have ever seen.
BOOM biceps in your face.
