That’s fantastic! Can I ask what the timeframe was between your starting and current? Or any advice you might have? Our starts and goals are similar :)

well, I have a tag here that's documented these past few weeks that I've been posting it on tumblr! before that, it's been kind of on-again-off-again weight loss with the documentation being back at my parents' house, but took place overrrr four months or so? but the more drastic weight loss is taking place now that I live on my own and control the food that enters my house. The timeframe for that bit would beee, starting weight 226 to weight 207, over the course of six weeks, with me typically pulling about five pounds at weigh in, though I have some threes and zeroes from bad weeks or unfortunate circumstances (like having my car break down and having to eat only at the school whoops) but I guess that the technical average I lose is like 3 lbs a week haha

um idk about advice because I'm kinda just winging it

I just try to eat lots of lean protein and healthy food likeee I have eggs for breakfast and I typically have salad and yogurt for lunch and chicken for dinner (I am poor so my menu is stale and repetitive :'D)

I don't do much exercise especially on the weekends but I go to school at a reeeally big school that's built into a hill and I take this really steep slope up to class so that counts as my daily exercise whoop whoop

mostly what I'm basing my decisions on is this book I read once it's called the 17 day diet and it creates 17 day cycles of food choices recommended to lose weight that gradually become less strict (I think there's three or four cycles?) and it's really in depth and up front about how it's a lifestyle change as opposed to an actual diet and I dig it

I only read it once and I'm not really following the cycles but it has pages and pages of potential menus and lists of recommended food choices so it was a good starting point for figuring out what was good to eat

Requests? Karkat petting Jade! There is never enough JadeKat. Bonus, Dave in the corner teasing Karkat.

i forgot what they all look like

!!!!!!! Go to VNV Nation's soundcloud, they put up one of the tracks from the new album that comes out soon. SOOO GOOD!!

Oh, sweet. It has a harder sound than the songs on Automatic; I wonder if Transnational is going to be closer in mood to Judgement. (It is called Retaliate...)

I’m following you and I still send my asks from your page, not teh dash. However, your ask policy is clearly stated before you can ask from your page. Better question is wtf why do YOU even get hate?

I'm not surprised I get assholes -- what surprises me is that I get so relatively few. That last one was the second one this month, which is quite the increase in frequency, but it's hardly anything to the bullshit a lot of very nice young women get. These are people a lot nicer and friendlier than me, but the shit the get is sometimes hair-curling.

It might be the roulette wheel of douchebag luck that they mostly don't bug me, but it is probably also that young women are a more tempting target than cantankerous old jerks like me. They're expected to be polite and accommodating, and the real creeps get a thrill out of taking advantage of that. (They'd probably swear up, down, and sideways that they totally aren't doing that, but I've been around the block enough to know it when I see it, you know?)

But man. These asshole anons make me wish I could call their parents and ask them if they raised their kid to harass people for no good reason.

I have a real problem with the update. Deeming Jade's death as just when she was under the control of HIC just isn't sitting well with me. It's more than simply Jade being one of my favorite characters and a hatred for all things Serket, something about this makes me uncomfortable and I can't put my finger on what exactly.

I agree — there’s something really, deeply wrong here. Jade’s text returned to normal when she was knocked out and the gray went away from her skin, so she wasn’t under the Condesce’s influence then — and even if she still had been, how could it possibly be just to kill someone who was being mind controlled into doing what they’ve done? How could that be just when Vriska’s death was a ~*~mystery~*~?

That ‘lucky br8k’ text makes me really suspicious that Aranea is fucking with the rules of the Incipisphere in more ways than it seemed she was and she can influence the rule of what a just death consists of, too.

[edit] Slipstreamborne pointed out that Aranea's 8-pupiled eye flashing in the clock before it stops -- this makes me positive she's re-writing the rules to suit herself.

I haz headache so no deep asks from me today but Jane.. no matter how much I want to like her character I just can't. However I'm liking grimbake Jane immensely. Thoughts on Jane before she went dark?

My thoughts on her are kind of fuzzy since I still need to re-read act 6, but I think Jane gets a lot of undeserved shit for basically being a normal kid. She's pretty sensible and level-headed and not keen on just believing things without being able to test them first, even when it's her friends claiming them. Normally these traits would serve her well; it's absolutely not her fault that she lives in a universe where extraordinary, absurd, and frankly unbelievable things end up being true. 

I think she makes a good normal person avatar, really, much like John is sort of the everyman nerd kid -- she's just a kid, she has relationship problems and reacts in silly, hormonal ways toward stuff. She loves her friends a lot, but she's the least likely of all of them to put up with their shit.

In a more normal universe, she could grow up to follow her dreams and be an excellent private detective, I think. A bit of time out in the real world would properly hard boil her and remove that sheltered shell.

I'm curious if there are any VNV Nation songs that make you think of any specific Homestuck characters/story arcs. You're the only blog I follow that has a love for both =^.^=

YOU ASKED THE BEST QUESTION. (All song title links are song links!)

The Farthest Star -- All of Act 5, with the Beta kids working to scratch their session and escape it, and the trolls trying to keep it together on the meteor, culminating in so many of their deaths and Sollux using the last of his strength to hurtle the meteor to the Green Sun.  

Embrace the void even closer stillErase your doubts,as you surrender everything

Further -- The human kids, surviving troll kids, and Calliope.

And in retrospect I'ill say we've done no wrong.Who are we to judge what is right and what has purpose for us?With designs upon ourselves to do no wrong,running wild unaware of what might come of us.

Genesis -- the whole comic. 

and did our laughter, did our tearshave some purpose after all?did we toil in vain in hopethat wisdom came from what we'd done?even lands we once called homelie undiscovered and unknown.only heaven's silence for an answer.

Homeward -- All the kids.

Try to find the strength I needTo calm the doubts in my beliefsWithout the will, I know my heart will breakIf I have strength then I've beliefIf I have love, my heart still beatsHere under stars Far from home

Solitary -- Terezi.

Always thought that I would stand before the faceless name of justice.Like some law unto myself, like a child of God again.

Cold -- Dave/Karkat blackrom. I'M SERIOUS, LOOK AT THESE LYRICS. It's so perfect and so ridiculous that I almost burst out laughing every time this song pops up on random.

Mortal acts of indignation

Wow. So I never thought I'd find another Homestuck who also loves VNV Nation and have to give you many gold stars for your post about Feferi and Eridan's moirailallegience ending. You nailed it perfectly.

*fistbump!*

VNV Nation has been my favorite band for the past... 13 or 14 years  or so, ever since an online acquaintance went "Hey, this is my favorite band" and sent some mp3s around. I was an instant fan -- their music resonates with me like nothing else does.

Also, thank you for the kind words about my meta. :D
