Gym music

I'm trying to get a LOT better at weight lifting this fall and winter, in addition to running. I've let fitness slip a little bit while trying to succeed at coding, art, and writing, and unfortunately the consequences of such are highly visible. So, no more. I lifted for 30 minutes today which is a pretty good start I suppose, upper body, plus a 4-mile run. I will up both of these, but not until I've been consistent for a few weeks first. 

Here were the songs I listened to (at least the ones that I can remember). It was a pretty good workout even despite the elders and half their district showing up at 7 AM again (so annoying because of how small the gym is). I kept the songs fairly intense, and occasionally repeated them. 
  • Insane Clown Posse: Mr. Happy
  • Moonspell: Lustmord
  • Motionless in White: Abigail 
  • Chelsea Grin: Crewcabanger 
  • Children of Bodom: Kissing the Shadows 
  • Cradle of Filth: Forgive Me, Father 
Lifting is one of those things that I've remained pretty stagnant on, and I didn't move between the machines very much today because there were too many people in the tiny little gym. Even so, it felt good to lift. I hope I can do this much more often in the months to come. 

I am still trying to figure out who the dancer lady with the snake is on the video for Forgive Me, Father. She's really pretty, but I can't find any credits for the video specifically, and she doesn't look like either of the women who participated in vocals for the song itself (so she was probably an actress just lip-syncing? But I don't really know.). The YouTube comments offer no info -- they are filled with a bunch of edgelords complaining about Dani wearing glitter, and honestly, who cares? I barely even noticed lol.

Unleashing my inner Disney Princess ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ at the 2024 Disney Princesses Half Marathon

TL;DR it was amazing and perfect  and we are going to make this an annual tradition. I may edit this with photos later, but I'm probably going to forget.  Recently, I spent 5 wonderful days donating my dollarbucks and soul to the evil mouse in Orlando. I did it for the Disney Princess Half Marathon.  Just look at that happy little alligator musician. He's so CHONKY. It's adorable. I love him. How could you NOT run a half marathon for him when he's cheering you on?  (My dad says it's weird to say the word "adorable" as a man, which makes zero logical sense and obviously means I need to use that word as often as possible. I will also continue to wear my rings and maybe I'll start flashing my pink protein shaker. Just to cause a little discomfort, because it's funny.)  I haven't seen the movie yet actually so idk if the gator is a major character or not. But JUST LOOK AT HIM.  My cousin and I had been planning a Disney trip, specifically centered

The 20-something types of Computer Science majors

I've been way too distracted with this blog lately, and I need to hurry up and start getting crap done. But...I've been dying to write this lol.  The advanced neckbeard A rare variety. When a neckbeard is forced out of his mom's basement and into college, he becomes an Advanced Neckbeard. You can always tell when he's coming, because you can smell him from half a mile away. He is very overweight, and wears shirts that are either plain or adorned with anime/gaming graphics. These shirts are either stained with sweat, Hot Cheetos, or something a little bit more, ah, suspicious . He is so socially unskilled that he makes everyone else in the major look normal. Age 30+, GPA at a 2.0 or just barely above it. Will never drop the major despite his lack of effort, because he simply doesn't care if he gets bad grades. In fact, he is probably highly intelligent, but his grades will never reflect that. Nevertheless, he will get a much higher paying job than a regular neckbeard

The Evenstar

I've never liked this world much.  Ever since I was a little kid, I always dreamed of going somewhere else. I created this alternate version of Earth that had everything and everyone that I loved, but with all these improvements to it. Magic was real. So were dragons. Dinosaurs hadn't gone extinct. Technology allowed people to fly. A network of glass corridors provided transport between this world and mine, snaking through streams of stars, galaxies, and lightyears of blackness.  And more than anything, I wasn't alone. I don't remember why I spent so much time alone as a kid. I really wish I did. All I know is that when I was in my  world, I always had someone by my side.  The feeling of being out of place here was overwhelming. It still is. That sense of not belonging, of longing for somewhere else, it has never gone away.  When I was in middle school, being bullied daily, I escaped to that world. The boys who tripped me and spit on me disappeared, replaced by tropical
