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..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...

Something You Don't Know About glimmer Part 5 - She gets migraines! I'll start this post off by thanking my dad for his wonderful genetics - giving me the world's worst headaches. If you don't know what a migraine is...Google it (nah, I kid! I can tell you better than that stinky thing we call the Internet)! A migraine is, as I implied, a really bad headache that is different in severity for everyone who may get one. Everyone who has migraines, however, shares a few common traits - they may have a specific trigger that causes it, there are different, but highly effective cures for each patient, and each person has their own unique symptoms right before the disaster strikes. I'll go over my steps: 1. I get migraines mostly when I'm super stressed and have a lot on my mind. I mostly got them in school and when I was searching for an important job while working full-time somewhere else. 2. I see spots. Have you ever closed your eyes after staring at a l...

Today's Discussion is on...My Favorite and Least Favorite Pokemon! Part 4 - Least Favorite Pokemon Cont. Gah! I'm so sorry! I said in my last post that I would post yesterday, but then I didn't! Sorry! Sorry! I had a headache yesterday and took off work. It was one of those days where I thought I had a migraine but didn't - anyways, back to Pokemon I dislike! We are on number four! This spot goes to the one and only - Castform. You may be thinking, "but Castform is so cute and changes into different types depending on the weather in-game, that's kind of cool," and I guess I can agree with that, but I can't unsee it for what it is. A crappy Pokemon. It's just no good to use in competitive scenes. It also doesn't help that once when my little sister and I were young, stupid children, we drew arms and a torso on it so its little lumps looked like its boobs. In permanent ink. On our Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire guidebook. Sorry, I just can...

Something You Don't Know About glimmer Part 4 - She loves to tan! As summer is coming to a close, I'd like to tell everyone that I am a tan-skin fanatic. Call me shallow, pretentious, fashion-crazy or whatever you'd like - I think that tan skin is simply beautiful! I've been told that a lot of girls want what they don't have (for example, I want curly hair instead of straight), but what is great about tan skin is that it is temporary (remember my love for temporary tattoos? Ha ha). I've been to the tanning salon and outside to tan, so I will tell you about my experiences with both the fake and real sun. The best tan for me personally comes from the tanning salon. I have one located close to me which is nice, because after I get a tan I feel super sticky and all I want to do is drive home as fast as I can to lay naked on my bed surrounded by towels. Before you even think it - NO, I do NOT use the tanning bed. I have a history of skin cancer in my famil...

Today's Discussion is on...My Favorite and Least Favorite Pokemon! Part 2 - Favorite Pokemon Cont. Continuing on from our last Pokemon discussion (yes, there will be multiple I'm sure as Pokemon is one of my favorite series of all time)! I am listing off my favorite Pokemon, so if you didn't read my last post about Pokemon (Part 1), please go read it here ! We are getting down to the wire here on Pokemon. The rest of them are still very high up in my eyes, but not the ones I have stuffed animals of like with the last eight. Here we go! Number nine goes to Gyarados. He's one of my favorites (ignore what I just said above apparently) and one of my first shinies (ha ha, he's everyone's first shiny thanks to Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal)! I also loved the anime episode where Gyarados is a total badass and evolves after being kicked by James on that raft - then he whips up a storm with his buddies and causes total havoc! Any art I see of him always lo...

Today's Discussion is on...My Favorite and Least Favorite Pokemon! Part 1 - Favorite Pokemon As a disclosure, my "least favorite" Pokemon, that I may totally bash on for their looks, use, moveset, etc. are just because of my history with that Pokemon. If your favorite makes the list - I'm sorry! This is just an opinion of mine. I also, personally believe that, as there are some flawed designs for Pokemon out there, no one generation should be looked at in a bad light. As a creator myself, I understand that coming with brand new ideas isn't always easy and some ideas may be generally loved (example: Mimikyu) and some may be generally hated (example: Garbador). As the saying goes - "you win some, you lose some.' Here we go! Let's start with the positives! Be sure to check out my twitter page for a bigger look at the image above. If you are interested in taking the quiz yourself, I will link it in this text right here! First off, the two ...
