Year of the blog: Day #24 - I'd rather eat.

Day #24

A date?

Like a sit down, at a table, you dress up, I dress up, kind of thing?
Well, here’s the thing:
I’ve got a history of awkward, uncomfortable situations, and I, usually, am the one that makes things awkward and uncomfortable, so, it’s going to be a pretty subtle but straight up, “HAHAHAHHAHAHAH, are you serious? Bad idea, no, no, no. No dates, it’s a no, thank you.”
Let’s skip all of that and go straight to the ‘I can tell you I farted and you’d be fine with it, and then burp in my face’ phase, please?
Complete comfort, because I can get weird, trust me. Can you handle this? Most try to but realize they can’t and ghost halfway, more like at the 10 yard line. Total understanding on this side though, it’s an “I told you so” kind of moment for me when this happens.
I will go 0-100 when we meet, so if you’re interested, I’ll know you’re in for all of the strange, random thought outbursts, and what-if scenarios I throw your way. Oh, and do not even get me started on my nerd culture.
I’m a sloppy sandwich, gets BBQ sauce all over her hands, face, and fingers kind of gal.
Don’t ask me on a date, tell me we’re going to get ribs or a burger, or a burrito even!
“Let’s go on a date sometime. Are you down?”
“I’d, honestly, rather eat a sandwich.”

It's okay to not be okay.

This hasn’t been the easiest of posts for me to write. I’m pretty sure I’ve deleted more words than I’ve written and I’m still not sure if what I’m trying to actually say makes any lick of sense either but if you’ve been in my shoes, hopefully you’ll understand. As a person who has lost many family and friends, I should be a natural at this. I’ve been preparing myself for the emotional rollercoaster, I read blogs on grieving, books, gravitate toward my 'safe places' such as Disney, Harry Potter, Star Wars and of course, writing. Losing someone you care about isn't easy. But I didn’t expect it to be this hard either.  I’m glad that at this point in time, society has been speaking more openly about mental health. I’m thankful that there are resources available for them when they need the help. I’m grateful for the awareness that is out there now amongst peers and teachers and others in authority. I can’t say enough how thankful I am to those who are...

Proactive Pokémon GO

Are you team Pokémon Go or team Pokémon No? I, for one, am definitely team Pokémon Go! I am thrilled that this game is out, not only to bring back my childhood love of Pokémon but to bring more activity into my day. I know many can agree. It's great to see that phones are finally learning from Wii and Kinect. Combining physical activity and video games is a very smart move with this generation.  Finally, Pokémon Go is released in Canada (as of yesterday). I don't think I've ever been more excited for an app or a game.  Even though the app has proven frustrating for most, with servers down, distracted drivers and walkers, those truly determined to be the very best (that no one ever was) persevered and are now joining their respective teams and battling other users.  But besides benefitting your health (and your Pokémon training skills), do you ever think about how you can help others benefit too?  Here are some ideas to bring light into someone's...

I am FAT

Hello, my name is Mariann and I am fat. Yes, fat. I mean overweight, perhaps even obese to most. No, I am not writing this to gain sympathy, attention or hate. I am writing this for me, and every other person who struggles with self confidence. As someone who has always been a 'plus sized girl', this was never news to me and that's okay. That being said, I never knew it was okay until recently. Fat is a word that has been taken and twisted by a majority of things. Media, society, science, and even family and friends. These influences have always come and go from our daily lives and contort what we know and believe. Fat is just a word. A word with three letters. One word, that does not define WHO I am, what I do, or even what I plan to be. So, with this being said, let me start over. Hello, my name is Mariann and I have fat. I also have two blue eyes that tend to change colour every so often. I have curly hair, and a lot of freckles. I have two hands and two feet. ...
