The Comeback

Well, well, well... Looks who's decided to grace this blog with her presence... Stephanie.  To what do we owe the honor?

Look, blog I'm sorry.  I've been really busy.

A likely excuse.  And a common lie for you, isn't it?

Ok, I haven't been that busy.  But I haven't been that interesting either.

Feeling sorry for yourself again?

What? No!

C'mon...

Ok, maybe a little.  But you know, the winter and all that.  It was freezing here-- even for Canada!  And so I haven't been getting out there and trying new things.  And I spend all my time at work, on work.  You know how the fall and winter are.

Why don't you try making a schedule.  That works for other bloggers.  And then people would get your witty repartee again.  If anyone still reads this, that is.

Now, now blog, let's not get nasty...

I'm sorry.  I've been feeling neglected.  You have that other blog that you write on...

I do, but that's for work.  You know that.  You said you wouldn't mind.

I don't, I guess.  But back to that schedule thing...

You are right, I will start a schedule, and make sure I post something, even if I think its innocuous and silly.

Those are the best posts.

Um, thanks?  Anyways, I will post on weekends.  Is that ok?

Its a start.  And better then nothing.

Than.  Better than nothing.

Listen, you better wrap this up, you're starting to correct your own grammar.

Ok.  Well, see you either tomorrow or next weekend.  With something to talk about.  Goodnight.

Night.

25 Things Fat People Shouldn't Do: Jump in an Elevator

25 Things Fat People Shouldn't Do is the brainchild of Jes, The Militant Baker.  After finding an idiotic and ridiculous list on the internet that proclaimed 25 tasks that fat people "shouldn't" do; she metaphorically and literally said "screw that," and  decided to do all the tasks on the list.  In her words, this list "ranges from the absurd to the profoundly shameful," so "[she] will be disproving this offensive notion with style."  I thought it was a brilliant idea; so I joined in. 

Jumping in an elevator is not much love in an elevator... (Yep.  Git yer Aerosmith jokes, right here.)  But it was a little fun to do something naughty and a little bit dangerous.

Ok, not that dangerous, but it worried D a little.  

We live in a high rise apartment building, so we ride an elevator everyday.  I should take the stairs more, but meh, I'm a busy person.  In the past, people have avoided letting me get on a packed elevator.  Once I got on the elevator anyways, and one woman complained the entire ride about how I shouldn't have got on, and how the other people should not have let me get on... About how we were probably over capacity in terms of weight now... And so on. So, I stopped the elevator on the next floor, and told her to get off.  She said she was on the elevator first, and I replied that she was the only one who was worried; so she should wait for the next car.  The rest of the people on the elevator agreed with me!  So she got off.  And there was more room and more laughing when she did leave.

What was the point of my above "victory" story?  Screw what people think of fatties in the elevator.  If they are uncomfortable they should leave. 

Also, I'm kind of sick of people thinking that fat people are going to break the elevator.  Its a really stupid notion-- And one that I don't put up with anymore.  So here it is, proof that one person can't break an elevator:

It is incredibly hard to get a not-blurry, good picture of yourself jumping in an elevator.  Nonetheless, here is me; jumping in an elevator.  And then we took that elevator downstairs to the parking garage, and lo, it was fine.  We also took the same elevator when we got home.  And it was still good.  

And now for you to leave with, my re-write of the lyrics of the chorus of  "Love in an elevator."   I've been singing this the whole time I was writing this post. 

Jump In An Elevator
Hoppin' it up while I'm goin' down
Jump In An Elevator
Hoppin' it up till I hit the ground

About a vlog...

So... As part of my comeback special, I'm going to try my hand at vlogging.  I have never done it.  I have only seen a few.  And I have no idea about what I should vlog. 

But, I'm going to try it. 

Maybe it will be some music.

Maybe it will be about some questions.

This is where I need your help.  What should the vlog be about?  What do you want to see?  If you have some questions, will you please email me?  Pretty please?
