Wow. I just spent the last hour and fifteen minutes actually writing. I suppose it might be a little strange to be inspired by one's own podcast, but tonight it's true. After we finished recording I realized that I've been making too many lame excuses and that it's past time to get back to what really matters in my life. Sure, I might have my doubts, but after re-reading a few things that I've already written and receiving some praise from my lovely co-hosts, I've realized that I was being too hard on myself yet again. Somehow I got so wrapped up in being ABSOLUTELY PERFECT ALL THE TIME OH MY GOD NO MISTAKES EVAR I forgot to notice that what I was doing was just fine. So I decided that I wasn't going to make anymore excuses. I'm not sure if this is something I'll be able to do consistently, but I'll try. I'm also not going to deny the fact that I also spent a good portion of my time sneaking a quick peek at my Last.fm profile or Twitter account, but nobody's perfect, right? =D (Least of all me)

New goal: Monday through Friday, write something every day. The more, the better, but even if it's just a paragraph that's OK. Do NOT veg out in front of the TV for hours whining about your lack of energy. Weekends are excluded from this because my work load is much heavier on the weekends, though I might have time to write something before I go into work.

I also can't wait until the weather starts staying warm consistently, so I can start running/walking on my days off, both as a way to de-stress and continue to build muscle. MANDA SMASH! RAWR! *ahem* Or something like that.
