Epic Picture Of Epic Epicness Proportions

So you know how you start on one “end of the internet” and while playing your own version of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon you end up on something totally off the topic of the item you originally went after, but it ended up being epic so you were copasetic with it?  Yeah, that just happened to me tonight. 

So I was watching one of the “popular” YouTubers and their little show and I found my way through their show to another video that lead me to a website blog that I had been to before months ago.  I decided to see what craziness it had on it today and I found myself looking at the most epic picture.

Now let me just say, I am not a fan of anime drawing.  Wait, wait, wait, wait.  Let me correct myself.  I’m not a big fan of “Pokémon” style of anime drawing.  The pointy nose with just a triangle of shadow for definition.  All the characters looking the same and only being able to be told the difference between them by their hair and sometimes their voices.  And just the whole flat look of the style.  I am just not a fan and try to avoid it when I can.  Now, that’s not to say some pictures in that style can’t be done well, and I found one today ladies and gentlemen.  Take a looksie.

Now you cannot tell me that is not awesome!  I wonder how long it took to make?  It’s just so awesome.  Now this isn’t full size of course, very sadly I needed to edit it for the blog, so click on the “source” link to go to the blog entry and see the full size of it.  I mean I literally worked on this picture for over an hour to try to get it to a size any of my image hosts would take.  Denied everywhere.  So I had to do the chop in half, and it still got distorted.  Sorry about that.  But you get the idea.  It’s so epic. 

I want to make a print of this to frame so badly.  See I am dragging my Potter fandom out.  I have not seen the movie yet, and NO don’t tell me about it!  Sure, I read the book, went to the midnight release and read it in less than 12 hours.  So I know who wins in the end.  But I kept hearing they wouldn’t tell if they were going to do the epilogue in the movie and I’m so excited about seeing if they did.  And of course I want to see how epicly this movie series ends.  So don’t say anything please!!!  I plan to see it on my birthday with my sister and anyone else who plans to come.  So excited, and of course that picture makes it moreso.

Oh, and let me just say thank you to those of you out there who are not ruining it for other who have not seen the movie yet.  I thought for sure I’d come across some Potter leaks due to a lot of people online I talk to or read their stuff they tend to be Potter fans.  But they have all been nice and not said how it ends for those who haven’t read the book and they aren’t telling how the movie is.  Kudos guys.

And well I guess that’s all I wanted to share with you guys today.  I am still working on my novel, and dreading a doctor’s appointment tomorrow.  I’ll say it here, my doctor intimidates me.  She’s a cool doctor, has a lot of good advice, she just seems to lack the people skills.  I mean I do too, but when I am stressed out about being at the doctor the last thing I need is to wonder if she is like this with everyone or just me.  So I am worried she will “slap me on the hand” for not having lost weight in the month since I saw her last.  Technically I did lose weight…and then I put it back on through stress.  Easy go easy come.  I’m not giving up on it, just worried about what she will say.  I mean she didn’t say anything about my weight the past two times we met until I brought it up.  I know my weight is affecting my health so I am ok with talking about it to try to get it off of me.  But in the same breath I don’t want to be reprimanded about it.  You know what I mean?  So yeah, kind of nervous about that.  Oh well, nothing I can do now except be honest with her tomorrow and tell her I will give it the old college try again.

*sigh*  Ok, seriously going now.  Talk to you all soon.  Be good until then.  Bye for now.

Huge

Hey guys, just wanted to pop on here real quick to give a review on a show I watched.  So ABC Family, oh this is in the US for my readers elsewhere, has a show they premiered called HUGE.  It’s about a co-ed weight loss summer camp for teens.  At first I thought it was suppose to be a movie when I saw the previews for it, since most young adult shows are based on the “pretty people”.  Please note that I was being sarcastic when I said pretty people.   Anyway, so it stars the pretty chicka from Hair Spray.  Can’t think of her name, but she played the lead role, google it people.  Anyway, so the show stars off at the beginning of camp where everyone has to wear their swimsuits to take a before picture.  Already from this point we see that Will, Hair Spray chicka, is going to be an issue.  She’s “proud” of who she is and what she looks like and is none to happy to be at a fat camp.

I am going to try to not say to much about the show in case you want to watch it.  But you got all your typical stereotypes in the.  The pretty one who doesn’t know she’s pretty and is shy when boys show her attention.  The sidekick best pal to the main character.  The chick with the “deep issue” and her best friend.  The cute guy that all the girls want, and of course it seems like the pretty girl will be the one who gets him.  Then there is the guy who likes the pretty girl, but she doesn’t see him and the main girl who is ignored by him seems to like him.  So you getting the idea here?  A regular young adult show.

Now at first I kind of felt the show was being stereotypical and poking fun at the “fat kids”, but as the show went on it took a nice turn.  It focused more on the teenagers in general and not on their bodies.  I found this to be encouraging for young adults and teens to see people their own age and perhaps that look like them going through the same struggles they are.  I’m really hoping that this show will be inspiring to teens to lose weight and get healthy, but also that it will show them that their fat isn’t want makes them.  That they are who they are regardless of what size they and that they should just continue to be themselves and realize that we all go through crap at that age and it really doesn’t have a lot to do with our weight but a lot to do with just the age and the inexperience and most time lack of maturity.

I do see some plots have already been formed for future episodes and I wonder if these show is going to be one of those light-hearted shows or if it will be more raw and real.  I’ll keep you updated on how it goes.  It really could go either way.  On a side note, I saw the new trailer for the first installment for the last Harry Potter movie and this time it is in 3D.  Now I truthfully don’t know if I will be seeing it in 2D or 3D.  I’m worried 3D will make me sick from watching it.  But I am trying to get someone to go see it with me and my sister and if he does I know he will want to see 3D.  I’ve never seen a movie in 3D so it would be an experience but I just don’t want it to be a bad one.  Well, it doesn’t come out until November, so I have time to decide.  Anyone else excited to see it?

Ok, well I am off.  Kind of feeling ill to the tummy today.  Didn’t get to craft or clean at all today.  Hopefully tomorrow.  Talk to you all then.  Bye for now.

Let's play catch up.

So I have not been really active in the doll world besides an occasional blog post. I have been dealing with some nasty issues. First I was dealing with the second cold of the month I got. When I thought it was getting better it would suddenly turn around and get worse. Ugh! Finally over that and now I stay away from people as much as I possibly can when I am out and about. So not trying to get sick again, especially now that it's slowly starting to warm up. If there is one thing I hate more than being sick it's being sick when it's hot outside. Makes me miserable and it's just not right to be sick in the Spring and Summer.

Well after I was over the cold I decided to get my butt back on track with weight loss. Well that has been tricky for me for a while now since trying to lose weight usually causes problems with my stomach. If I eat to little I get acid. If I eat to much I get acid. If I exercise I get acid. And I've been tinkering around with all of the above. So the past two weeks have not been pretty on my side of the world. It was almost impossible to sit up straight after long periods of time without feeling sick. And if I could sit up and didn't feel any pain, I'd feel it after I got up. I refuse to give up on trying to lose weight because I know weight loss is the answer to a lot of my problems. Just wish I knew a way around the stomach pain. It gets so bad some times it causes panic because it makes me get short of breath and have tons of pain in the chest area. Not fun. But I'm not giving up. Have had to rearrange some things that I am doing when it comes to exercise and eating, but it's only until I start to feel better and then I can slowly change things around again. Let this be a lesson to you kids, if you aren't chunky don't get chunky and if you are chunky work on losing the weight because it only gets harder to do as you get older and you only have worse issues to look forward to. *sigh*

But today I woke up feeling somewhat better, although I do feel some ickiness in the tummy and will need to move around after this post. I plan on posting as much as I can today because I have some "thank yous" to send out as well as just some things I've been meaning to talk about. I also want to hit some blogs today and comment since I just haven't been able to before.

I hope everyone reading this is doing well and that you all are having a lovely weekend. I'm going to attempt to do some sewing today. Attempt being the keyword. If I don't get to it I will finish a reroot I still have no earthly idea why I started it. Will explain that at a later time once I get closer to finishing. Well that's all for this post. Will post again in a little while. Bye for now. :-)

Loves ya,

Post 160 and first post of 2010!

Hey guys, how was your New Years Eve and day? Mine was uneventful, but can't complain. So I am still trying to get into the groove of things after taking such a long break from everything. I know I have some comments to get back to, and several other things to attend to, and I plan to do a lot of that this weekend. Today I was just still in an odd funk. First day of the year is always like that for me. Its not until the second day when we are officially "into" the year that I shrug it off and say "Oh well, here goes another year," and then I trudge on.

So in thinking about the new year, I made NO resolutions. They never pan out. But I DO want to lose weight this year. Sure there are several other things, but the weight has been the one thing that has been holding me back and changing who I am. I don't like that any more and haven't like myself for a couple of years now due to how the weight makes me feel mentally and physically. So today is the first day of many that I will fight the battle of the bulge. So I am issuing a challenge to myself. Feel free to join me if you'd like.

The House of Mouse Valentine's Day Challenge!

The rules are, I have to strive to lose 10-13 pounds by Valentine's day. That is my goal, but I will be happy with whatever I lose personally. I will do a weekly weigh in on Saturdays. That seems to be a good weigh in day. Always loved Fridays and Saturdays. Especially Saturdays. So I will weigh in on Saturday. Today will be a two day weigh in week since I started weighing today. So expect another weigh in tomorrow. I hope it doesn't go up overnight. LOL! So here is my weight loss ticker.





Like I said, feel free to join me. Now I want this done in as much of a healthy way as possible. Take if from a girl who knows. I have done so many fad diets and I lost weight on all of them, then put the weight back on and then some. One day when I get to a certain goal weight I will tell you all the highest weight I got to due to fad diets. You'll swear off them forever. ;-) So here's to be healthier in 2010! :-)

Ok, I'm off. If you have made a comment, thank you for them, and I will respond to them this weekend. :-) Bye kids, talk to you all tomorrow. :-)
