chibichatter!

Ok. I have officially stepped over the line and it’s time to put my foot down. I am embarrassed to admit it but I am putting on weight. And the double-chocolate brownie gorging session I delved into yesterday (and disgusting as it is, breakfast this morning) is the final straw. Yes! Back to a clean sugar-free diet for me. And I don’t care if I have to go to bed at 7pm for a week to overcome the sugar cravings!! I have become too laxed in my boundaries. The word “NO” will play a big part in my vocabulary from now on, and I will not succumb to temptations! I will flee the kitchen if I must!! I have done it before. I will most certainly do it again!!

Ok. Rant out of the way, I will gladly admit I have made a positive move by bringing the remaining brownie to work today so there will be no temptation for me when I get home this afternoon. Definitely a good start ^_~ Read More…

I absolutely adored it, which led me to believe it wasn’t Twilight I had a problem with – I just don’t relate well to Bella.

Pondering this idea I realised that although Bella is made out to be something special, with her unreadable mind and inability to show fear when she should, I found her to be no more interesting that the average teenager. Her thoughts were distinctly shallow and no more charitable towards her friends than their thoughts were towards her, and seeing what was in her head, I found her to be negative and quite unlikeable. Her regard for Edward is way beyond obsessive.  Read More…
