Technorati

          Since I'm trying to get my blog out into the public, I've been signing up for different websites and have been talking about it more to different people. This code G2KWYX5WA5W7 is for one website called Technorati.com.
          So far this site seems to be alright, and hopefully it will assist me in getting more viewers and whatnot.

New beds

          So, my boyfriend and I have been wanting to buy a new bed. Sounds random, right?
Well, what we currently have is this piece of shit mattress on a broken bed frame. Two pieces of shit, actually.
The springs pop out and stab us during the night, when you sit on it it bends in the middle so it's so uncomfortable, and it squeaks, so when we have sex all you hear over my moaning is "squeak, squeak, squeak." It's so annoying. The bed frame is also currently being held up by cinder blocks. That's sad and ghetto. The wood underneath it is broken and sticks out like a sore thumb, not to mention it's also unsafe.
          The kind of bed we want to buy is a sleep number bed.
Or so I thought. I just read a lot of reviews on the beds, and they aren't all that great.
I mean, yeah, there are good reviews, but I'm interested in the low rating reviews just to see what kind of problems people were having. They've had problems like having to replace parts of their beds several times, it not being comfortable like the ones in the store were, and other things that made me stop and think- what if we have the same problems?
          So then I decided to look at the Tempur-Pedic beds. They're SO FREAKING EXPENSIVE!
$2,000 just for a mattress? And then you need to add the bed frame, so that's even MORE money!
This is not going smooth like I planned it to.
I know we can have payment plans, and oh do we plan to do that!
But this is getting ridiculous.
          Any suggestions? I'm lost, but we need a new bed NOW!
I suffer from back pains way too much for my age- I'm only 19!
I cannot stand what we sleep on now, I want to cry at night from the lack of comfort.
-sigh-

..Thank you for your time.

Self-Empowerment

So, sometime in early January I decided to make a self-empowerment plan. I decided to implement this into my life because I think that it would be a very good thing to do. Also, in case of zombies. Or to be on more realistic terms, in case the world becomes like a post-apocalyptic world.
I feel that skills such as these would aid me.

There are six phases total.
Each phase lasts two months.
No phase ever ends. Once it begins, it stays.
The reason I did this was so I don't try to shove everything onto my plate all at once.

The six phases include memory, language, knowldge of medicinal plants and herbs, cooking, do-it-yourself projects and survival training.
Each phase lasts 2 months.

Phase one- memory. Improve memory using a variety of tools and programs.
(I used memory training apps and games on my phone to help me with this.)

Phase two- language skills. Learn the basics of a new language. I will choose from German, Spanish, Italian or French.

Phase three- knowldge of medicinal plants and herbs. Study the uses of medicinal plants and herbs, along with home remedies.

Phase four- cooking skills. Learn to cook a variety of new foods, especially healthy foods.

Phase five- do-it-yourself projects. Learn how to improvise using ordinary objects. Obtain skills that would aid in survival and ordinary living.

Phase six- survival training. This phase is still under construction.

Since it is pretty much now March, I will have completed phase one and will begin on phase two now.

Hopefully you can do something like this for yourself as well.
I'll try to keep this up and post entried about how it's going for me.
