Four things.

[flyboy_fox]

First off, wow, thanks so much to everyone who commented on my last post to congratulate Jei and me on our decision to get married this July! It really means a lot, and if any of you are able to make it, I'd love to have you there. If not, I'd love to at least stream the event so that my friends across the globe can take part in some small way. The Internet is fantastic for the sheer amount of networking made possible, but it saddens me that as a result many of my good friends live so far away. I'm a bit of a recluse so I don't really have many local friends, heh. Thank you again, all, for your kind words. Married, eee~!

Secondly, if anyone wants to take a gander at Jei's Archie Sonic VS Villain contest entry, you can see it here: http://zoomswish.deviantart.com/art/Sonic-vs-Scourge-Contest-Entry-193818518 Silly Scourge. Who's the king now, baby? :P I've seen soooo many awesome entries to this contest. It makes me excited to see the competition winners!

Thirdly, I figured out why/how I lost so much weight in my first week of dieting:  "When calorie intake is initially cut back, the body's carbohydrate stores in the liver and muscles (known as glycogen) are used up. Glycogen is stored with three times its weight in water, meaning that rapid weight losses [...] are possible." So that explains that! Following the initial drop, weight-loss of 1 - 2lb per week is considered healthy, and I lost 2lb last week with another 1lb this week so far, so I'm happy (: I can already feel my clothes fitting better and see the difference in the mirror. By Easter, I'll definitely be below my first target weight and by our wedding I'll be in great shape! I wanna look good in my tux :P I've been having THE most terrible cravings today, though. The worst I've had since starting this healthy eating regime. Really bad stuff like KFC and MacDonald's and crisps and pizza and all that horrible bad greasy icky stuff D: Nooooo. But I resist. With all the delicious soup we've been making, I'm definitely getting my 5 a day of veg, and I know I'm healthier. I really can't afford to ruin it by caving in to a craving >_>

Lastly, a sort of general question. Miles has expressed an interest in occasionally perusing my journal for sporadic updates of his own, which surprised me at first, but it kind of makes sense. There's both of us here and I've no doubt that he's a bit fed-up of existing only as second-hand information via my (naturally) biased posts concerning him. I also get the feeling that he'd actually quite like to communicate with somebody. Most of the time he's pretty content just scribbling his thoughts in the paper journal he now has, but I'm sure that having only me, Sonic/Jei and Scourge to talk to is probably irking him a bit. It might also be good for me, too, in that I can go back to mostly just blogging my stuff and leave it up to him if he wants to talk about anything. Chances are that any posts he makes would be f-locked and under a cut anyway, so easy to avoid for anyone who only wants to hear from me. Still, would you guys be okay with that arrangement? Maybe willing to at least try to get to know him if he does decide to say anything? No pressure. He's not exactly the most likeable guy most of the time anyway :P But it might be worth a try, and it'd free up my own posts a little.

All right, that's it for now! G'night LJ! (:

Evil cravings! But they too shall pass :P I hope XD just keep you eye on the prize!

Miles Miles Miles. XD Yeah, he should definitely post here... I'm sure we're all driving him crazy. Not that he doesn't drive us all crazy from time to time. >.>

[flyboy-fox.livejournal.com]

They'd better pass ;_; That damn pizza in that email spam just looks SO damn good right now.

He most certainly does @_@ I guess we all drive each other kinda crazy though. Pretty sure Scourge cracked a long time ago if last night was anything to go by XD "KILL!". Kinda funny, kinda scary n.n;;; Really need to join a gym so he can get that pent up... murderous urge(?) out in a healthy way o.o;

[way-past-cool.livejournal.com]

XD; That 'Kill' was so weird... it startled even him! Funny though... yeah, he needs to get the energy out. I mean, if the gym is too expensive for now, at least there's the bike. He was thinking of taking it down to the beach every now and then... so yeah.. just gotta get that... um... kill energy out... XD

[flyboy-fox.livejournal.com]

XD I dunno how well I trust him + a bike + a busy seafront. He might try to see how many people he can hit/terrify by almost hitting... seems like the kind of reckless thing he might do x.o But I don't have a bike, so I wouldn't be able to keep up to make sure nothing terrible happens ^^;

You know, as funny as it is to see them having to deal with the domesticity of our lives, I do kinda worry what'll happen if either of them seriously snaps :\ It's so different, what they're stuck with now. Easy to make light of, but you know. Sometimes I almost forget what their lives were supposedly like before.

[way-past-cool.livejournal.com]

XD yeah... you're right... on second thought maybe the bike idea isn't such a good one. I wouldn't like to see either of them snap x.o it really is a lot different... they have to put up with a very domestic life and I know Scourge finds himself 'wtf'ing a lot about it. Hopefully they'll find a way to break out of the monotony without breaking... well... someone's neck. n.n;

[flyboy-fox.livejournal.com]

Well I should hope we still have enough control to prevent anything like that from ever happening ^^; But I don't want them to feel like prisoners, either. I've noticed that when Miles has been very edgy for a while, that's usually when he disappears for a couple of days. I wonder if maybe he's sorta cordoning himself off to prevent anything too bad from happening. He's smart enough to know the consequences of doing anything too outrageous.

I should get a bike. Then whichever of any of us wants to can get some exercise by riding down the front. Or until then, at least walk it. It's been a while since we've been to the beach and it's right there, so close! Fresh air works wonders, too.

[way-past-cool.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I don't think even Scourge is stupid enough to do something that would get us thrown in jail... x.o I think he's had enough of prison. And for the most part he's not dealing too bad... I think more the fact that he's doing alright is what raises his brow and gets him thinking about whether he's gone soft. As for Miles... well Miles is a head case... n.n; can't figure that fox out for the life of me, but that's par for the course really. XD

You should definitely get a bike! I would love it if you could come riding with me! n.n We should definitely look into it... but yeah, I'd love to walk along the front too... it's so nice!

[flyboy-fox.livejournal.com]

>>but that's par for the course really. XD

What's that supposed to mean? All foxes are head cases and impossible to figure out? Meanie. *Bites you* >_>

Anyway, yeah! I'd love to have a bike. I'd need to make sure I get to use it enough. If I get a local job that I can ride to, that would be great! Or even a volunteer opportunity, which reminds me I need to go look for those. But anyway, if we ever get some moneys in, a bike is something I'd really like to get ('though god knows where we'd keep it x.o Yours is already a H&S hazard in our tiny apartment XD)

[way-past-cool.livejournal.com]

YOW! XD Wasn't saying that...at... all? Oooooh boy...

I suppose we might need to use the garage... n.n; at least for one of them.

[flyboy-fox.livejournal.com]

:P Suuuure, mister.

Okay! n.n Well, have fun saying hi to the spiders down there when you lock YOUR bike up at night.
