Energy drink-induced insomnia rambling

Nat Marie — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 09:15:32 +0000

Because I was bored, I looked for the most mundane things anyone can look for. Like how to reformat a hard drive, or mobile home floor plans. Yeah, when you can’t sleep because you drink an energy drink a little too close to bedtime, you tend to do things that you hope will make you sleep, but well, no such luck here.

What do you do when you can’t sleep?

What would happen?

I’ve seen movies and TV shows that shows someone taking a testosterone supplement. Sometimes, it would start off as the male, but somehow the female gets a hold of them and stuff happens to them in the matter of days. You know, like them becoming bearded ladies all of the sudden. Now, obviously things happen faster in movies because of the time allotted. But how long does it take for a woman who takes testosterone, whether intentionally or accidentally? Any experts have any idea?

Keep in mind that I like not having an ungodly amount of hair and I like my boobs, so I would never try this myself.

Surrounded by guitars

I am surrounded by guitars.

Okay, lemme explain. My fiance’s sister’s boyfriend is into music. Very much into music. He has at least 5 guitars, from Ibanez to breedlove. Acoustic to electric, he’s got quite a collection. While I’ve always wanted to learn to play guitar, I’ve kept it under wraps. But he has no idea how much I wanna grab one of those guitars and practice on my own. But I’m not that ballsy. I guess one of these days I can ask him for some advice in that regard. But until then, I’m surrounded by guitars. And I actually like it.

How I got my start on website building

I think I’ve told this story a while back, but I didn’t always build my site from the ground up. I used a website builder for most of my early stuff. Then as I started to get more serious in doing web design/blogging, I checked out a few websites with HTML tutorials and the like. When I learned to code sites in notepad, sans website builders, I felt like I can do (almost) anything. To this very day, while I don’t have much time to do much web designing thanks to a kid under 1, I still read up on the new trends, like HTML 5. In fact, I’m considering using that when I revamp the design for both Crestfallen and Namari. Let’s hope it doesn’t cause me to ragequit, lol.

How I wish.

The summer’s coming up, and while in New York, it was rarely warm enough to cool off in the pool, in SoCal, I’ve learned to love cold showers for more than its more-known purpose. It gets really warm starting around this time of the year, and it only gets hotter. My fiance’s aunt has a pool in her back yard, complete with pool fences for privacy. However, she lives 2 hours away, so it’s rare that we get to jump in. But we make arrangements to go over there for a week or so, so plenty of swimming abound!

I was pregnant in the summer last year, but now that I’m not lugging around what turned out to be a 10.5-pound baby on my front, I can do as much (non-) swimming as my heart desires. I can’t wait!
