Today's Discussion is on Glimmer's First Ever Gym Membership! When I started at the job I had now, I found out my company building had a free gym employees could use. EMPLOYEES. I was a lowly contractor at the time. I was promoted to a full-time position after six months or so, but the past Glimmer had no idea that was going to happen, so she signed up for a gym membership in a nearby shopping center. It was a chain gym (mistake number one), but the gym was small enough that it felt homey and more personalized. The gym had only a few people who worked there, and on occasion you would enter and no one else would be there, workers or other people working out. It was a 24-hour gym too, so I could come any time I wanted. Here's the thing about gym memberships...THEY SUCK. Did you see that one coming? Now I'm not going to sit here on my bed and type fast and angrily about my gym and how much it sucked, because, to be honest, it really wasn't all that bad. What D...

Today's Discussion is on Morning Birds and Night Owls! Morning birds and night owls? But, owls are birds...shouldn't it be morning doves? Because that is an actual species of bird and that would make more since - bah, who do I write to change for this? Dear World...that would be the start to my letter. I was actually going to start out this post with an Office quote (an The Office quote - that sounds weird), but as you can tell from my scatterbrain this evening, I forgot to write it down before I started diving right into this document as usual. The quote, if you are interested was from the main character Michael, the boss, who says to his crew: "The early worm gets the worm..." The an employee, the jokester Jim, says: "Like another worm? Are they friends?" And then Michael is corrected by another employee. I feel like I can relate to Michael in the morning. Here's the thing about me - I'm not a morning person or an evening person. I...

Today's Discussion is on My Favorite and Least Favorite Drinks! Who's ready for a random thought from Glimmer? Well, today I started thinking about my favorite drinks and other drinks I simply won't touch. Again, I'm a picky eater as I just said in my last post on being a vegetarian. So, naturally, I'm also a picky...drinker! Here's a list of drinks I will NEVER touch: Coffee (of any kind...put sugar in it, milk, creamer, whatever...it still tastes bitter and gross) Tea (of any kind) Cream Soda Coke/Pepsi Diet Soda Mio or Mia or whatever its called, those flavors you add to water Sparkling Water Mountain Dew (any kind...and I call myself a gamer?) Beer, Wine or any alcoholic drink really that tastes like alcohol Energy Drinks of any kind Gatorade (this isn't an energy drink, right?) Plain 2% milk Blueberry Juice Almond milk (gross, gross, gross!) So, yeah, I don't drink a lot of beverages. I've always been g...

Today's Discussion is on..National  Something Or Other  Day! Part 2 - National Vegetarian Day (and also the start of October...Happy Start to Inktober!) That was a long introduction...apologies for that. But, how excited are we? It's October! So, now it really is fall! Because my birthday is in September and I love the summer, I always count September as still being summer, which was hard to do when I was in grade school as school always started back up in my month. MY month. Anyways, let's talk about vegetarianism and then more about October's Inktober. So, if you didn't know by my previous posts, twitch streams, tweets, etc., yours truly has been a vegetarian for...about seven months now. If you are like every other person in my life, you'd ask the five W's - where, what, when, why and how? My dad just skipped all those and just kept offering me meat every chance he could get (I have to remind him EVERY time I eat with him or around him that, yes...
