Ugh...stuff
I don't want to work 11 hours on Thursday and Monday...*tantrums like a small child* okay I am over that.
I don't think I've mentioned it on here but I've decided to start exercising and trying to eat better so I can not be so horribly unhealthy. So far I've lost like 5(ish) pounds so I'm not doing too terribly. Not great either though. We just got an exercise bike so I should be able to use that for at least half an hour every day which will be good for me.
I've been reading fandom secrets too much lately. I've begun to talk in that lingo with my friends (jokingly of course) but still, its a little scary. I even considered adding a secret the other day but realized its not so much a secret as something that really annoys the hell out of me (and I don't care who on my flist knows thus its really not a secret at all). Why is it that most fandoms (I have yet to be in/visiting one thats not like this) you have to write NC-17/Smut/Porn whatever you want to call it just to get a good amount of reviews? I've never been one to write that stuff, sure I read it, and I've never been compelled to write it but lately I've been feeling like the only way I'm going to get more than 4-6 people to read or review anything I write is to add some smut in. There are so many compelling stories out there and the ones with smut get oftentimes more that twice the number of reviews as those without. I hate the idea that no matter how well anyone writes they wont get much out of fandom without some porn thrown in and that makes me really sad (on a number of levels).
Anywhodle I am off to cook dinner again. Rosemary and lemon salmon with roasted ranch potatoes. Yum.
