Fiona & the Argandnauts

 

and incredibly sad and dorky. 

For the end of year, my college decided to do a Sport event.

three legged race

I can't feel my arms or legs now, but it was worth it.

 jungle run


The bouncy castle challenge was fun, kinda of impossible, and we were incredibly slow :(

water bucket run

We had to run with a bucket full of water over our head, but the bucket had several holes in it :(

soaked from bucket racing

tug of war

This was my favourite 'sport', we came second and my right arm is quite bruised.

water balloon catch

I kept dropping and bursting the water balloons, so we lost :(

sack race

Lewis made out team proud with his awesome levitating skills.

I'm gonna miss my further maths class, we made a crap team, but oh well it was fun.
Thank you Mr Nice Guy for cheering us on and taking the photos, and being our horse substitute ^_^

Chuck

I'm really into Chuck Palahniuk, I received most of the books for Xmas, but I've only had time to finish one. I used to have Choke, but I lent it out and never got it back so Mr Nice Guy got me another one. I wish he spoilt himself as much as he did me. 

Remember the Batman Jumper I knitted for Mr Nice Guy? It's recently joined my 'to fix and repair' pile :p



What sport are you best at? 

I think I only have a chance at dance machines and Badminton.

Sailor Boats

Another Newcastle meet :) It was quite funny, random, and sunny. A great mix for a lolita meet :)
This Gickr picture sums up the meet :)
We tried having a boat race too! Kat did all the work though, she makes a great oarswoman and Katie makes a great captain!
We crashed a few times too XD

Also questions answered from previous blog post :)

Shou - Chan my question would be...when do you wanna visit Germany next and which city do you wanna visit?^^ I want to go to German this Summer, but I've been rejected for work experience over there (several times) :( I want to visit Dusseldorf of course! and meet you and Thanh Thao :3!

Piperita Patty I'd like to hear the story of the unfortunate German gentleman XD
And I'd like to hear about your date too, if it isn't too nosey :P
It was a long haul flight, back from Hong Kong and I was very ill. He looked after me for the whole flight which was 12 hours long ^-^ He was hit by the food trolley too during his sleep, it wasn't his best flight I'm guessing....
On the 2nd date I accidentally headbutted Mr Nice Guy :(

*~Kay~* - and my question to you (if I still made it):
Rank the colors of a rainbow from best to worst and state why? :p

Red - My new favourite colour :3 It's bold and feminine to me :)
Blue - I think it's bold too :)
Violet - it's nice and colourful ^^
Green - Nature (Y)
Orange - Reminds me of bad fake tan....
Yellow - It attracts insects :(
Indigo - your name makes me rage, why can't you choose whether you want to be blue or purple?!

Have you rowed a boat before?

Keep Fit!

One of my things to do for the 2011 was to hula hoop everyday.

I try to do it an hour a day, but sometimes I just have enough time! I love playing the Sims 3 while hula hooping! My hula hoop is made of bamboo and leaves my stomach with a red ring XD

Anyway the weather is becoming more dress friendly so I thought I would repost magazine scans of simple excercises that can help you feel more confident aboutyourself :)

TBH I have no idea how the arm pinching will help... but the other excercises are used in aerobic classes I go to.

When squatting, your bum shouldn't go below your knees and you should put all your weight in you heels and not your knees.

I love sit ups, who could think of a excercise you could do lying down? Ingenious :)

Gym memberships can be expensive and sometimes you just don't have the time to go, so I hope you find these scans helpful! You can do squats anywhere.... you may get odd looks though.

NOTE: I'm NOT promoting fad dieting, being unhealthily thin or actually being thin. I would love rather be a size 12 with a curvaceous body, than a childish one like my own XD

What's your favourite excercise/sport?

Yoga and squats for me. You can't get enough of butt crunching excercises!
