I'm willing to work for it, but I'm kind of pissed that I have to

I dreamed that I was reading a fic. Let me just repeat that: I DREAMED. THAT I WAS READING. A FIC. And then? I dreamed that I was lifting weights. I DREAMED. THAT I WAS LIFTING. WEIGHTS. And then I had a dream that I was some sort of fixer-person, only totally on the up-and-up. I worked for a company that would send us to people's houses to open and air them out after an extended absence--so, like, lake houses/cabins and vacation properties that aren't occupied most of the year. My co-worker was a very young Tom Hiddleston (the blonde, curly-haired era) and absolutely nothing sexy happened beyond me looking at his butt while he stood on a chair and fixed a curtain rod.



What Your Taste in Music Says About You (On a Date). Hmmm. Speaking for myself only (of course), some of these are pretty spot on. Others...not so much.

So it turned out that the other secretary was already planning to take off Thursday and Friday this week. My hooky day has been postponed to Monday. Ah well.

Lifting yesterday went okay. Turns out my body is maintaining a consistent level of exhaustion no matter how hard it's working, so if I can manage to push myself to exercise, I don't feel any more tired than I already did, so yay?

That "taste in music" list says I'm a nerdy man. :(

It says I'm alternately hot, badass, and would let a homeless person move in with me. Soooo....yeah. I think it doesn't count on someone liking Rihanna, Beastie Boys, and AC/DC.

Well, none of my favorite bands were on the list (where are the prog, the metal, the prog metal, and the electronica), so I went with Rush.

I guess I am basically totally undateable... oops.

I won't Pollyanna all over you about weight-lifting yesterday, but I do wonder if it was generally better to have a lifting buddy? Did it help with how you felt in the space, etc?

Those are woo-woo questions, and I'm almost embarrassed to have typed them.

Ha!

I don't think it made any difference, no. We were doing totally separate workouts and often weren't even in the same room. Now what it did do is it got me to the gym at all. If [livejournal.com profile] mckitterick hadn't picked me up from work and scooted straight down to Robinson, I probably wouldn't have gone.

Hrm. I'd wondered whether I was asking something like, "Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"

It could be interesting to see how mid-week strength training sessions at Robinson impact your Sunday sessions with Andrew.

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2013-09-19 02:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm hoping I see faster strength improvements since I don't have to modify hardly any of the movements. Robinson has barbells, kettlebells, stools for step-ups, etc. So I don't have to say well instead of a 120-lb deadlift, I'm gonna do....whatever. I can do the activities as prescribed.

I have so many answers for my taste in music, but I'm still trying to figure out why T Rex means I'm an asshole. Not that I'm not, but maybe:



I loved this one, however:
Every relationship is a coming-of-age epic of which you are the star.

What? They're not?!

Sorry about the boring dreams, but I'm really glad you found a way to Keep Up The Good Work!!

?

Sorry, I'm missing something here...

[identity profile] redheadfae.livejournal.com 2013-09-19 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)

Because I reread my post and had to laugh at how grammatically awful it was... but I'm cool, you know? ;)

Oh good heavens, I use *iz awesome* and the like around here. I no longer think that sort of thing is critical in LJ comments. I've become too enamored with internet speak.

[identity profile] redheadfae.livejournal.com 2013-09-19 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
HA ha!
So, basically, it was the only gif I could find that conveyed some sort of "yeh, I'm an asshole" feel.
Maybe it didn't come across.

Gawds, I'm so spacey today.

"yeh, I'm an asshole" feel.

I'm kind of wondering if the person who wrote that article actually listens to music at all?
"Bruce Springsteen: You’re a monster in the sack." - more like you are 40 and like Football.
"Rod Stewart: You’re gross." - Sorry, no. Maggie May is still one of the best songs ever recorded. Granted, Stewart really didn't do anything after...
"Rush: You’re a man. And a nerdy one at that." - What? Ugh! No. If you like Rush you really hate music. It's as simple as that.
"Talking Heads: You’re a good person." - Err... thanks?
"Insane Clown Posse: You’re not the type to let common decency ruin your good time." - More like RUN. RUN NOW. DO NOT LET THIS PERSON BREED.
"Guns N Roses: You’re going to have to sex in the bathroom and regret it.
Joan Jett: You’re going to have sex in the bathroom and not regret it." - ...okay, these two are accurate...

I read the most distressing thing yesterday. Apparently, there are more Juggalos than there are polar bears.

I cry while giving people sweaty handjobs under the table. Eww.

Yeah, that's...unfortunate.

*feels your forehead*

Um, I think you're definitely sick.

My subconscious HATES me.

It's like the dreams where you're doing your job and wake up feeling like you just did 8 hours of work. The worst! I always want to cry when I that happens.

So far in my dreams, Ewan McGregor has

1) Made me a sandwich at Chick-fil-A

2) Helped me teach an algebra class


So. Yeah.

I'm so sorry, baby. I feel your pain.

I'm sorry, but this made laugh.

nice to know that I'm a hot woman, and I'm also cool.

Nothing says Validation like a random article on the internet, right? =D
