Damn Me, Day 15

So. I slipped up. I ate too much a few too many times, and didn't sweat as much as I should have when I worked out.

I'm back up to the big 300.

I'm looking at this as a pretty big setback, but not one that's going to stop me from trying to get back up there and lose more weight. There are 75 days left in this, and though it doesn't bode well that I'm already messing up, at least I'm figuring out ~where~ I'm messing things up:

1 - Way too much pasta this week. I have to limit pasta to one night a week, and if I can, eat wheat pasta. I should definately eat the wheat pasta, especially since I've found a good one.

2 - My work outs didn't push me much at all. A bit on the bike, some crunches, and some push-ups. Enough to get me tired? Sure. Enough to actually do anything? Obviously not.

I just have to fix these two things, I think. I don't like that I went up, but I will keep pushing.

Then, I'll become famous. :)

The Road To Becoming Famous, Step One

Step One on the The Road To Becoming Famous is to let people know that you're attempting to become famous. This might seem counter-productive, as many people want their famous people to seem aloof and uncaring about their stardom, but this is a very important step.

See, while you let people know that you're trying to become famous, you also tell them (truthfully) that you won't forget the people that helped you get there. Those that stay with you, and help you in small ways like pimping out your journal to their friends on livejournal (thanks karlita!), or just helping you plan your way to the top, become your first fan base. I know, it's scary.

Step One also includes some very hard work on your part. See, having a fan base, even a small one, is hard work. You have to keep them entertained! Without that, they might just decide to go eat a ham sandwich, and while they're doing that the might read about Ben and Jennifer breaking up, and completely forget about you!

This will not do.

So, do zany things! Be interesting! Write articles about what it feels like to be a star. When you're fairly certain you've got the fan base hooked, that they're not going away, you move on to step two.

Oh, and always plan one step ahead of yourself.

Later, a post on all the crazy, zany, funny things that have been happening in my life!

Interesting

Saturday I faced down the evil hordes (3 counts as a horde, right?) of little people at a weapon practice at a local park with my good friend ariochqw at my side. Multiple times we clashed, and three out of four times we (or at least ariochqw) were left standing.

It was exciting, and fun. I want to do it again. Today.

Instead, however, I will be playing D&D over at the home of ariochqw and venakali. This will be fun and exciting as well, but in a completely different, somehow more geeky, way.

Today I cleaned, I excersized, and I went cliff diving. Okay, two of those are true. You choose, it's more exciting that way.

Tomorrow I start work again at Fowler's Original Chocolate. Have I mentioned before that working there is heaven? I smell chocolate all day, and when I have a free moment, I'm allowed to walk in back, grab a piece of any chocolate I want to eat, and eat it. I can get two, if I want. Or twenty. They really don't care.

I'm getting jealous of myself, somehow. :)

Question

Late in the day, and so I realize it probably won't get many responses, but that's okay. Odd question, but considering my bid to become famous, it should be obvious why I ask:

Who is your favorite celebrity*, and what about them do you like? Not just what one thing about them, but what general qualities do they have that make them your favorite?



*celebrity is not just movie/TV stars, it can be authors, musicians, painters, whatever, as long as you would consider them famous
