poll for GLaDOS' Song voice parts and harmony comfiness
hello so @lovingtogetic is starting a project where we all do a mass choir arrangement of GLaDOS' Song from the Portal series. if you know about this project, your voice type and whether you can sing melodies, just skip to the paragraphs starting with "***".
for those of you interested, I will arrange sheet music for it, but I'd like to know your voice parts (soprano, mezzo-soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, bass) (if you are a mezzo or a baritone you may have to lean in one direction depending on the responses.
i also wanna know which people of which voice parts can sing harmonies. in my experience, you either are naturally drawn to harmonies or you can only sing melodies but i'm sure everyone varies.
basically, im trying to figure out which voice part to give the melody to and which voice parts can reliably hold a harmony.
a few helpful links before the poll starts:
a song with an example of 3 harmonies combining into a melody: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iToG7boxo64
a youtube video harmony breakdown for those who are new to singing and unsure if you can sing harmonies (it starts with all parts combined and then breaks down each part by character): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tj08xI8Hvig (white diamond is about a soprano, maybe mezzo with the one low note harmony, blue diamond seems more alto, yellow diamond seems tenor maybe baritone.)
***poll instructions: even if you can sing multiple voice types, (for example I can go from soprano to high baritone) pick one that you're most comfortable with. if you don't know your voice type, we're gonna rely on the sex binary for a moment, as i am not aware how being intersex affects the voice, and am only vaguely aware of how hrt affects the voice if at all(?):
soprano: highest voice, usually afab voices, usually these singers can go up but not too far down
mezzo soprano: second highest, may end up singing the soprano line and singing the lower note if the soprano line splits, usually afab, very unique range from singer to singer and most lean towards either soprano or alto, if you're pretty rangey and are okay with soprano lines pick this one
alto: "lowest" afab voice, usually if I'm reading an alto line I'm not happy if the notes stop being ledger lines below the treble clef; but beethoven has altos singing in the mezzo soprano range, usually altos can go down but not as far up.
tenor: highest amab voice, if you're amab and you can sing "Sugar" by Maroon 5 you're probably a tenor, can potentially go as high as the soprano but i probably won't make you do that, if you can go up but not down pick this one
baritone: like the mezzo soprano but for amab people, i believe most baritones lean towards bass lines tho(? could be wrong), think of "Agony" from Into The Woods, those princes are both baritones
bass: lowest voice before you start adding the word "contra" to voice types (don't worry abt it) sings at the bottom of the bass clef and can go above bass clef (even on treble clef if Beethoven's writing. sorry just performed his 9th symphony "ode to joy" so it's fresh in my head), sings the bass line which is like a counter-melody more than a harmony in classical music, think The Wolf from Into The Woods he has a duet with Little Red called "Hello, Little Girl"
***more poll instructions! so there will be two of each voice type it'll go something like "[voice type here], i prefer melodies" and "[voice type here] i can sing harmonies" if you can do both, pick harmony so I know that's an option for your voice type, especially if you're a soprano y'all never get harmonies and i think descants (harmonies written above the melody) are super cool. Sorry mezzos and baritones i had to cut you out due to lack of poll options, try your best to lean and I'll split a couple lines for ya.

what i'm listening to november 2023. the agony
spot. link//yt link
song notes under cut
Laura Les - Haunted: haunted. by laura les.
Garbage - Queer: stand up for the fag anthem. but also let's be real one of the main draws here is the music video where shirley manson pushes the pov character down to the ground and forcibly shaves your head while singing "i know what's good for you." i'm a lesbian
Chris Fleming - W.U.G.: i've met a couple wugs in my time but more than anything i'm just on my chris fleming shit recently. this one has been stucks in my head sooo bad and bsaically anytime i see the word "guy" it comes back with a vengeance
Limp Bizkit & Method Man - N 2 Gether Now: random lb songs will really just crop up in my rotation for seemingly no reason but really this one has so many good lines and the addition of method man brings it up by so much. it's comical on some level bc it's like why is he here, he's like. a real rapper. and fred sounds so out of his depth next to him. but at the same time they both do actually really pretty good. pull the plug and then jet. MIC CHECK.
Sloppy Jane - Bark Like a God: recommended by a friend. need to listen to the full album but this goes insane goes crazy i mean those damn vocals and the THEMES ugh i mean what else do you need in this world. don't even really know what to call this band but it good and i need more
Almeda Riddle - My Little Rooster: Gummo is a 1997 American experimental drama film written and directed by Harmony Korine, starring Jacob Reynolds, Nick Sutton, Jacob Sewell, and Chloë Sevigny. The film is set (but was not filmed) in Xenia, Ohio, a Midwestern American town that had been previously struck by a devastating tornado. The loose narrative follows several main characters who find odd and destructive ways to pass time, interrupted by vignettes depicting other inhabitants of the town.
Destroy Boys - Fences: mostly just real catchy. many such cases. but there is a certain doggish quality to it as well
Enon - Natural Disasters: hi violer :3 ooh ahh the song so catchy the riff so tastey and shiney
Limp Bizkit - The Truth: i watched the band's short film of the same name recently and was pretty underwhelmed. but it did make me wanna go back and listen to the ep! it's been said to death but it's easily some of lb's best work, and not just because it's the serious one or whatever
Repo! The Genetic Opera - Night Surgeon: tbh there should be more repo on here but there's only so much space and this is undoubtedly my favorite track from the soundtrack (although "at the opera tonight" comes pretty damn close!!) i could listen to anthony head go "i remember" like that allllll day. i have been having some serious repo fixation recently i won't lie. give it a watch it's a normal movie
Foo Fighters - Everlong (Acoustic Version): okay look you guys know at this point how i get about everlong. so when i was watching hit film little nicky starring adam sandman and a rather beautiful sequence took place accompanied by a sparse acoustic version still laden in the characteristic warmth of the original song, of course i was hooked. and that's a nu metal-ass movie, too, but this was the pick i ended up making. that's special
Dropkick Murphys - I'm Shipping Up To Boston: WOOOOO BOSTON!!!!!!!! GO BRUINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET ME A CUP O DUNKS!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! YANKEES SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <is not from boston but rather a different place entirely
Fefe Dobson - Unforgiven: why did nobody tell me about this fuckin nu metal x y2k pop fusion. this is like rina sawayama stfu but all the way back in 200-goddamn-3. fefe you were before your time
MGMT - Little Dark Age: i don't know mgmt that well but i heard a little bit of this song in a youtube video long ago and really liked it and could never find it and then i happened to encounter it again and was like oh hello my old acquaintance shall we get to know each other better
Billy Joel - All For Leyna: beginning to realize that billy is good actually. every little part of this song is crunchy and sweet and delicious for me. and god i sure am doing it all for leyna aren't i......
Tom Cardy & Brian David Gilbert - Beautiful Mind: tbh this was far from my favorite effort from either of these guys...... didn't really think it was all that funny. had a very lol random sort of appeal that just didn't hit me right. however it does sound amazing, really clean, and they both have nice voices. plus you know i love them harmonies
Taco - Puttin' on the Ritz: they play this a lot at a cafe i go to sometimes. i used to not like this song but it's really grown on me. it's one of those absolutely one-of-a-kind songs that could have only been a hit at the exact time and place that it was. and i like stuff like that! you might even say i think it's super duper :)
Violent Femmes - Breakin' Up: this song is dumb as balls. and it sounds way better in my head than it does to actually listen to it. but! the video is really cool, with that simple but effective camera trick. i enjoy that
Bowling For Soup - Girl All the Bad Guys Want: if the previous song was dumb as balls, this song is dumb as. like. the epididymis. or like a single sperm cell. i don;t know man it's a dumb fucking song. but it's about a cool rap rocker girl :3 and that's meeeeee probably. when i listen to it i like to rate each lyric on how true it is. watching wrestling? maybe now and then. creaming over tough guys? hmmm no i would simply not do this. but listening to rap metal? turntables in her eyes?? now we're fuckin talkin!!!!!!!!!!

never let me go (2022-2023)
MyDramaList synopsis: Nuengdiao is the heir to a prestigious family. His status has forced him to grow up isolated with no room for imperfection. Then his father is shot to death right in front of him. Now he and his mother's lives are in danger. The son of a loyal Kiattrakulmethee family employee, Palm is appointed to protect him from the dangers in and outside school. In his life of uncertainty, Palm's presence leads Nuengdiao to new experiences. Where to watch: GMMTV's youtube channel or Viki Highlights: high stakes, interesting family drama, great chemistry between the two main leads
2. my school president (2022-2023)
MyDramaList synopsis: Student body president Tinn has a secret crush on Gun, the head of the music club and lead singer of the middling band Chinzhilla. The son of the principal, Tinn is instructed to axe any clubs that don't boost their school's reputation. The music club tops that list and Tinn is therefore Gun's number one enemy. Desperate to save his club, Gun will do anything, even pledge servitude to Tinn. When Tinn learns Chinzhilla has a rule that band members aren't permitted to date until they win the Hot Wave Music Contest, he vows to do whatever it takes to help them do just that. Where to watch: GMMTV's youtube channel or Viki Highlights: great balance of sweetness of seriousness, killer soundtrack, delightful friend group
3. my only 12% (2022)
MyDramaList synopsis: Cake and Seeiw have been friends as far as they can remember. Cake is very outgoing and has a lot of friends while Seeiw is very shy and barely speaks to people he's not used to being around. Despite their different personalities, they are very close. By being next-door neighbors since they were born, they became an essential aspect of each other's lives. However, as they become older, things change and so do the way they see each other. There is only a 12% possibility of having a successful first love. Would that 12% be enough? Where to watch: iqiyi (but also available on platforms like dailymotion) Highlights: slow burn, time jump done right, tremendous acting in emotional scenes
4. not me (2021)
MyDramaList synopsis: Black and White are twins with a powerful connection. After their parents' separation, though, White’s father took him abroad, and their family effectively severed in two. It isn’t until fifteen years have passed that White—now grown—returns to Thailand. One day, seemingly from nowhere, White feels an agony like death. He recovers in the hospital, but they’re unable to determine the cause. Then he picks up a call from a childhood friend, Tod. Tod tells him that Black is in a coma following a vicious attack, and he learns that Black is in a motorcycle gang. Unable to endure the harm done to his brother in silence, and suspecting it was one of Black’s close friends—Sean, Gram, or Yok—who betrayed him, White disguises himself as Black to root out the traitor. But White doesn’t know his brother as well as he thought; he’s not behaving like the Black Sean knows, distrustful and uncaring about the feelings of others. Sean's suspicious. The difference gets under Sean's skin and makes him feel things he shouldn’t. Where to watch: GMMTV's youtube channel Highlights: beautiful and gritty aesthetic, focus on social justice, arson :)
5. i told sunset about you (2020)
MyDramaList synopsis: Teh and Oh-aew were best friends until a boyhood line of reasoning turned them into rivals. Years later as they're preparing for university admissions, both pursuing interests in the field of Communication Arts, the two meet in a Chinese language class. Their reunion awakens complicated and unstable feelings. Where to watch: Viki (but also available on platforms like dailymotion) Highlights: gorgeous cinematography, phenomenal acting, angsttttt
Bonus: currently airing thai bls I'm enjoying
last twilight (2023)
MyDramaList synopsis: Burdened with heavy debt, Mhok, a technical college student, applies for a high-paying job as a caregiver to Day, a badminton player with partial blindness due to infectious keratitis. Day hires Mhok who—unlike other applicants—seems to take no pity on him. With so much time spent in each others' company, the two develop a deep bond. When Day learns he'll have approximately 180 days until he loses what vision he has remaining, how will the two weather the trials ahead? Where to watch: GMMTV's youtube channel Highlights: slice-of-life storytelling, thoughtful representation of disability, pretty cinematography
twins (2023)
MyDramaList synopsis: It is said that identical twins who are produced from the same egg will share a bond as if they were the same person. But not with "Sprite" and "Zee", the identical twins. Despite following the same route as an athlete from birth, both want to be the only one! *adding more context because this synopsis doesn't really tell you anything: after zee is injured in an attack, sprite must take his place on the volleyball team to maintain his chances of competing in the national competition. there are a few problems with this plan: 1) sprite doesn't know how to play volleyball, 2) sprite still has to attend his own jiu jitsu practices, and 3) everyone on the volleyball team seems to hate him, especially first, his new roommate* Where to watch: i've been using dailymotion, but i hear you can watch it on LoveMedia Thailand's youtube channel using a vpn (others, feel free to comment to confirm/deny this) Highlights: fun premise, focus on sports, enemies to lovers

Hello Nikka! Happy holidays to you. I hope you stay happy and healthy and have a wonderful start to the new year. It's nice to meet you out of anon too, I'm a bit shy and not that active on tumblr except for following a few blogs here and there so I usually prefer to stay on anon, but you seem really lovely so I felt comfortable to send an ask off anon :')). Also I just noticed that you followed me which djdjdj you're one of my fave blogs on here so I did fangirl a little bit. :)). Your Ocs are so well developed omg. I adore them all. P Martens and all the golden ROs are my comfort characters, whom I won't stop gushing over. They're so well written. And the pairing between Maya and P is absolute chefs kiss and her friendship with K is so cute. 🥰
I have way too many Ocs to keep track of and ever since I've downloaded sims 4 it hasn't gotten any better. You had a list of IF recs a while ago but I can't find it. If you could please link it it would be amazing. I've been in the biggest reading slump ever and have been looking for some new ifs to read and since u have great taste I would love to check out some or the ones your recommended.

Hey, I just noticed you have a follower tax, so here's mine. I loved this song before OFMD, but it really reminds me of Stede/Mary and Edward/Izzy's dynamic. It's "Out of Time" by Philip Labes.
Hope you like it. :)

(couldnt find a youtube link for this one :()
[Verse 1] In 40 seconds, we both know that it's over I look back, I see you close the door We both saw this day From a hundred miles away But we're beautiful for half a minute more
[Verse 2] In 30 seconds, all our sniffles turn to silence So my footsteps echo on your floor 'Cause you only need to cry When it hurts too much to try We've decided we aren't trying anymore [Chorus] Tick, tick, tick goes any good thing Forever is a diamond lie We can't stop the clock, so let's just talk Until out heartbeats rhyme Until we're out of time
[Verse 3] In 18 months, both of us are laughin' In thе loving arms of somebody new And you stumble 'cross my namе But it doesn't sound the same Just a person you once knew
ABSOLUTE AGONY THANK YOU

A Different Kind of Therapy: 1
Tumblr media
When the strains of life, broken relationships, an angry boss, and other stresses get a bit too much to bear, you seek a very particular kind of treatment. 
PAIRING: Sexual Therapist!Sam x Reader WARNINGS: mentions of a breakup, stress/anxiety, sexual therapy, smut, slow burn

Tumblr media
It’s just another Tuesday. You’ve been yelled at by your boss over something out of your control, spilled hot coffee on yourself on your break, and had an irate client holler at you over the phone until you were so on edge that you burst into tears at your desk for a good ten minutes after hanging up. 
It’s been like this for the last three years of your life: a day-to-day agony of getting up and going to work only to get berated and abused by your employer over the slightest mishap. 
Finally, you’re allowed to go home. Charlie, your roommate, is in the living room when you get there, and she notices your red-rimmed eyes.
“Rough day?” she asks sympathetically. 
“He was worse,” you groan, kicking off your heels and slumping down on the couch. “I made one little mistake with scheduling a client for the bank merger and he just… I’m surprised I walked away with my job.”
Charlie rolls her eyes. “Why do you still work for him?”
“I need the money,” you sniff, “since Caleb and I broke up, I have to pay my bills in full, not splitting everything evenly. Plus, if I get a promotion I don’t have to work as his secretary.”
“Ah.” She’s silent for a long while. “I might be able to help.”
“Really?”
“There’s this guy that my friend Brenda knows,” she gets up and goes to her purse, “he’s a therapist.”
“Charlie, I don't need therapy.”
“You’re stressed to hell, Y/N,” she says, “you come home crying every other day and you’ve been having the worst anxiety attacks since Caleb dumped you. You don’t even try to meet other people, that’s how bad it is.” She rummages in the front pocket before pulling out a dog-eared business card. You accept it when she holds it out and glance at the black lettering on the front.
         SAM WINCHESTER - SEXUAL THERAPIST
“Sexual therapist?” you raise your eyebrows, “what the hell does that mean?”
“Look, all I know is Brenda says he’s amazing,” she grins, “and his costs are lower than regular therapists. She’s gone there just to talk, get stuff off her chest, get advice… but also what he does physically is supposedly incredible.”
“Physically?” Shaking your head, you set the card down on the coffee table. “I’m not sure I’m ready.”
“Oh, it’s not a requirement,” Charlie covers, “it’s just an option for his clients. C’mon, make an appointment, at least.”
You shrug. “I don’t know… I’m just gonna take a shower and go to bed early.”
“Okay.” Charlie’s face falls slightly, but she shakes it off. “Sleep well, Y/N.”
***
That night, long after Charlie’s fallen asleep and you’ve been struggling to even close your eyes, you pull your laptop out from underneath the bed and type in a Google search for Sam’s name. He’s got a website that looks extremely professional considering what he does. No alluring or inappropriate photos of women, ads for self-produced medications for bigger dicks or wetter pussies… it looks like a normal website. 
There’s a headshot of him in the center of the home page, along with a paragraph of his biography. 
He’s gorgeous; shiny brown hair curling around the middle of his neck, eyes that sparkle a dazzling combination of green and blue and gold, pink lips that look positively sinful, a decent dusting of stubble across his jaw...
Tumblr media
...Fuck, you’d meet up with this man just to see him in person. 
His slogan shines in a light type font on the header of the page.
     FEEL GOOD.
Within minutes there are multiple tabs open on your computer; YouTube links to two TED talks he’s given in the last couple of years, a full biography including his education at various universities and internships at larger sexual-health facilities around the United States, and most importantly, his philosophies.
You’ve never encountered a more female-positive man in your life. 
Sam focuses on all aspects of human sexuality and health, but his primary specialty is sexual therapy in women. There are numerous testimonies from past female clients, many citing him as a “quick learner” and “perfect listener” to everything from sexual desires to the most basic aspects of mental health. He’s helped trauma survivors, PTSD-ridden veterans, even just women who want something more than what the average male is capable of offering them.  
Clicking on one of his TED talks titled Sex and Violence: Using Pleasure to Overcome Trauma and lower the volume to where you can just barely hear his voice. He’s surprisingly comfortable onstage, pacing slowly back and forth as he engages with his audience.
“...there’s more to overcoming trauma and anxieties than we think,” he’s saying, pressing the tips of his fingers together, “when our mind is triggered, we automatically move towards the easiest temporary cures, prescriptions and harsh medical methods to force it back into submission. Granted, in some cases, prescriptions are needed and are useful. However, my studies have found that women who have suffered a trauma are more likely to regain full control of their minds and bodies through the use of self-pleasure or engaging a partner in sexual activities that focus primarily on them, where they are in complete control.”
You watch him talk, completely captivated by the way he talks and moves. Several women in the audience are watching him with hungry eyes. The entire talk lasts for thirty-five minutes, and when it’s over, you find yourself entranced. 
Maybe this guy can help.
After two days of mulling it over, Charlie finally convinces you to make an appointment. You lock yourself in your car after work and dial the number on the front of the card. It rings four times before a woman’s voice answers.
“Winchester Therapy Services, this is Ruby, how can I help you?”
“H-hi,” you stammer, chest going suddenly tight, “I, uh, my friend gave me your card and I was, uh… I was wondering if I could make an appointment with you.”
“Of course, give me one moment.” You hear papers shuffling and then the dull click of a pen on the other end of the line. “We have openings this Friday and Saturday at four o’clock in the afternoon.”
You nod even though the woman on the other end of the line can’t see you. “Saturday works.”
“Perfect. May I have your name and phone number, please?”
“Y/N L/N,” you supply before rattling off your phone number. 
“Great. I’ll be giving you a call to confirm your appointment on Friday.”
“Okay.” You swallow thickly. “Thank you.”
“Have a great day, Y/N.”

Survey #350
“let’s play a love game, play a love game  /  do you want love, or you want fame?  /  are you in the game?”
Who was your first good kiss with? Jason. Would you kiss this person again? I know I fucking would and I hate it more than I could possibly express. Name something that is on your bedroom wall? Lots of artwork, mostly of meerkats. What accessory do you want in your bedroom? I need another desk to put stuff on. If you could paint your walls any color what would it be? Something pastel. Maybe like, peach. Soft and warm and would really bring light to the room. What does your phone case look like? It's just this boring purple one that came with the phone. What do you take the most pictures of? My camera roll says my pets, hahaha. What is the point of Twitter for you? Liking Mark's shit lmao. What does your planner look like? I don’t have one. If you get into an argument what is it usually about? My anxiety, I think. What are you always in the mood for? Ummm probably a car ride where I can control the music in the passenger seat. It is very, very rare I'll turn that opportunity down. What’s the last emergency you dealt with? I don't really know; I'm thankfully not in these situations very much, especially when you're cooped up at home. I probably haven't been actually engaged in an emergency since I had to call 911 for my mom before she found out about her cancer. She was basically immobile from agony in her abdomen. Do you have a son? I'm perfectly happy without a son, or kids period. Are you married? No. Have you ever worn a suit? I haven't. Have you ever had to call 911? Twice for Mom. How many keys are on your key-ring? Just one for the house. What’s the last thing you created? An RP post would count as art creation, I'd say. Who are your closest friends? Sara, Girt, and uh... Well, they might be it as far as friends I consider truly close to me. I have a few other people I consider good friends, but we're just not like... on that "close" level, you know? Lisa is maybe another, and Lyndsey perhaps, both WoW friends. Are you ready to have a family? I hate that "have a family" tends to mean get married and have kids, which I'm guessing is what you're implying. If that's the case, no, given I don't want kids and am not fit to get married right now. I'm not even with anyone. I'm content right now with just living with my mom and my two pets, who are children well enough to me. Have you ever taken a DNA test? No. Do you have a family cemetery? No. Would you say you have a high sex drive or not so much? *shrugs* I think it's pretty normal. How do you feel about swallowing pills? What do you mean how do I "feel" about it? I just do it if I need to. What animal is the scariest in your opinion? Some kind of bug, probably. Giant centipedes creep me the fuck out, for one, and I've heard their bite is incredibly painful. I've also always been very afraid of Australia's funnel web spiders since watching some show on Animal Planet when I was younger; I think it scarred me for life, aha. And let's not forget the murder hornets. No thnx, rather die. :') Have you ever questioned your sanity? Way more than once, my friend. How do you feel about people wearing fur coats? Are you for or against it? I am VIOLENTLY against it unless it is for survival in extreme climates and you don't have access to other material. That aside, there is NO way you could possibly convince me that it's okay to wear the fur of something once living on yourself for ~fashion~. What’s the worst thing a friend has either done or said to you? Let's not go here. What’s fake about you? Like extensions, fake nails, botox etc. Nothing. If you got the chance, would you audition for a reality show? No. Have you ever gotten into a Facebook fight? Haha, yeah. Favorite flavor of jelly bean? Probably watermelon or strawberry. I'm not a massive jellybean fan. Do you use Tinder? If yes, have you ever met up with someone you matched? I've never tried it, no. What book/movie has made you cry the hardest? Either The Notebook or Titanic. Something you feared as a kid but don’t anymore? Thunderstorms. What’s your skincare routine? I don't really have one. Just wash it with water in the shower and then use a washcloth when I feel the need. Would you rather have a snake or a tarantula as a pet? I want both, but I prefer snakes. What is something you are NOT looking forward to? I both am and am not looking forward to my second Covid vaccine because it's notoriously worse than the first; the only bright side to it is that after the potential side effects blow over, I'm job hunting. What do you usually do right when you wake up? Check the time on my phone. Would you rather eat your pizza cold or hot? Hot, but I like both. Who taught you how to swim? Dad, I think? Can you do push-ups? No. Do you like Doritos? Yesssss. Who is the closest friend that you live by? I don't know. Have you ever banged your head against something? I've had two concussions before, so, y'know. Have you ever jumped on a trampoline? Yeah, I loved that as a kid. Do you like watching scary movies? Yeah. Has anyone ever told you that you have a big butt? No, considering I have like no ass, rip. Has one of your friends ever tried to "hook you up?" Ugh, yes. Do you prefer landmarks or street names when being given directions? Landmarks, by a mile. Although, I'm super bad with directions, so it probably wouldn't really matter much. Do you read the prologues in the beginnings of books? Yeah, you got to. Does your house have more than one fireplace? No. What was your favourite gym class moment? The one and only thing I liked about gym as a kid was when you took one of those rainbow tarps and made like, an air bubble underneath to make this awesome dome everyone sat in. Ya missed out if you didn't do that. Do you think that ocean boardwalks are fun? Yeah. Do you dread when people ask you to sign their yearbooks? Not at all; I was always flattered, knowing they cared enough to want mine. Apple Jacks: yay or nay? I looove those. Do you have a favorite Scooby-Doo movie? Haha yeah, I think it's the second one? Such iconic scenes. It's the one with the Mary Jane girl that Shaggy liked... oh, jokes that went over your head as a kid. Who were your last 3 Facebook messages from and what do they say? I'm too lazy to list the convos themselves, but the people involved are my friends Chelsea and Ian, as well as a friend's mother. Do you turn your phone off at night when you go to sleep? No. It's always on vibrate, and I just turn the brightness way down. What is the sexual orientation of the last person you talked to? She's straight. What’s your favourite hairstyle on the opposite sex? Don't you fucking dare laugh, emo hair is A++. Has anyone ever played a prank on you? What happened? Not a big one, no. Do you like the Silent Hill movies? Do I?! I love the first one (though for a while I wasn't very happy they swapped the lead role from Harry to his wife), and while the second is literal trash story-wise and it's ALL over the damn place, I still enjoy it with just how much I adore SH as a whole. What movie scared you the most out of any other movies? The Rite, because the concept of being raped and impregnated by a demon is fucking horrifying to me. Have you ever wanted to be on American Idol? When was this? Nah. Name 5 things you don’t believe in. 1.) "Everything happens for a reason;" 2.) karma; 3.) destiny/fate; 4.) psychics, fortune tellers, all that; and 5.) luck, at least in the sense of someone having set "good" or "bad" luck. If you could have any friend that you’ve lost back, who would you pick? Probably Megan. If you have pets, who normally puts food and water in their dish? Me for both of them. Do you organize the pictures on your computer into different folders or are they all just under “My Pictures”? I have folders. Do you think if someone is in a relationship, that it is acceptable to have sleepovers with other people of their preferred sex? Eh, nah, that feels a bit far to me. I am very firmly for friends still being able to hang out even if they're each other's preferred gender, but a sleepover sounds a bit too intimate, even without sharing a bed. Would you shoot a gun if given the chance? If you’ve shot a gun before, how many different types of guns have you shot? No. I'm very intimidated by guns and nearly shook when I merely handed a friend his (not for anything bad, he just carried it with him when he goes out), and I've got noooo plans of holding one again unless my life depends on it. Do you feel uncomfortable sharing things like artwork or poetry you’ve written? Is it because you don’t think it’s good enough to show off or because it’s too personal? You. Have. Zero. Idea. It's for both reasons, and it's far more severe in person. Online, I actually don't mind much, oddly enough... I can't quite pin down why. Do you have any siblings you absolutely despise? Why do you despise them? No. Do knives scare you? Is it from watching scary movies? Knives scare me like five times more than guns. Scary movies have nothing to do with it, though. They're just so sharp and the idea of being stabbed by one is terrifying. As someone with a history of self-mutilation too (not with knives, but I've thought about it and once planned to slit my throat with one, but Mom stopped me), they just make me incredibly uncomfortable to the point I can barely hold a "real" knife to just slice food. Have you ever climbed a chain-link fence? Many times. What is your LEAST favorite Disney animated movie? That I've seen, uhhhhh... I don't know man, there are way too many Disney movies lmao. Who was the last person’s house you went to besides your own? My sister's. On YouTube, who are two people you find hilarious? I'm just counting GameGrumps as one, and then you can't forget Shane Dawson, regardless of the controversy. He probably made me laugh more than any other YouTuber. Do you shave your pits? Yeah. Do you know anyone who has been on life support, and survived? I don't think so. Besides the USA, what is your favorite country? I'm not nearly informed enough about foreign countries' politics and laws and mannerisms to have a favorite. Would you rather go to Europe or Asia? Europe. Would you rather go to Africa or Australia? Africa. Would you rather go to Mexico or Canada? Canada. Do you think emo/scene hair is attractive? I love emo and scene hair, don't @ me, it's cute as fuck. Have you ever seen a ghost orb picture? Lots, actually, at one of my old houses that I totally know was haunted. Do you think abortion should be illegal? NO. You would NOT end abortions. You would end SAFE abortions. Do any of your pets have strange habits? Explain? Venus, my ball python, is extremely odd with food to the point I sometimes worry about her, but she's always been this way and is healthy, so I guess it's nothing really worth fretting over. Anyway, when I place her rat in her terrarium, she gets excited first and will pretty much frantically examine her surroundings, like slithering around everywhere, and even when she has clearly found the rat (she'll even prod it with her snout), she usually won't immediately eat. She just like... sits there and has to continue to verify for ten minutes that it's food. I know it's thawed perfectly, btw. So anyway, THAT'S weird... As for Roman, dear god, that cat's just weird, lmao. Especially in the morning, he's very hyper and will bolt around the house sometimes, he "plays" with nothing all the time, he "meerkat"s at nothing that I can nothing, etc. etc. etc. He's a weirdo lol. Have you ever told an extremely inappropriate joke? Oh god, I said something really inapprops once when my friend Chelsea startled me. I won't be repeating it lmao. Who in life have you felt the strongest need to protect? Sara, I think. Who have you most feared in your life? My dad. He doesn't scare me anymore, but he did. What was the quickest friendship you ever made? Oh idk. What is the worst word anyone ever used to describe you? "Martyr." And not the kind that dies for their beliefs. It hurt me so badly to know someone thought of me that way, and I'll probably never let it go. If you have any pets, were they adopted from the humane society? No. Roman is one of the billion kittens born to the cats my sister's in-laws have, and Venus is from a ball python breeding business in Florida called The Gourmet Rodent (they sell f/t rodents too, obvs) Do you like home design, like picking out paint colors and furniture? Not really. My grandmother though, whew, that was her calling for sure. Have you seen any of the old James Bond movies? Nope. List all of your features that you have ever gotten compliments on: My hair, my eyes, my tattoos, my hands, I think my nose, my dimples, my smile, and my boobs lmao. Have you ever been in a hot air balloon? And if not, would you ever want to go in one? I haven't. I think it'd be kinda cool, but they seem too easy to fall out of, and I'm afraid of heights. I'd probably go in one if given the opportunity. Do you have any stains on your shirt currently? No, but there are two small rips. It's just an old tank top. Do you listen to local bands? No. Not that I'm opposed, I just don't know of any I really enjoy. Do you watch YouTube videos often? Many, many daily. Do your parents fight? Do they even talk at all? They're divorced; they used to fight a lot when they were together. Now they only talk if they have reason to. Have you ever watched a movie that's in a complete different language, so you had to read sub-titles? No. Do people with yellow teeth disgust you? Dude, fuck off, no. My teeth are kinda yellow, and I'm extremely self-conscious about it, so seriously fuck this question. You never know for sure why someone's teeth may seem yellowish. Do you drink alcohol on New Year’s Eve? Usually a drink or two. Do you wear rings? I always have two on, yeah. Are you hungry right now? No, I literally just ate a breakfast bowl. Have you ever tried smoking a cigarette? No; I haven't the slightest interest in doing so.

HEY THERE, you have me interested in The Untamed but I'm a little lost as to where to start, there's both a 50 episode normal version and a 20 episode special edition, which should I watch/start with? Also WHAT does your svsss tag stand for? I'm seeing "The Untamed" and "Chén Qíng Lìng" and "Mo Dao Zu Shi" and "Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation" thrown around as synonyms or related pieces of media, but nothing with svsss!
Sure thing!!
Okay, to start with, I’d definitely go with the 50-episode version. It’s a Lot, and there is some padding added to the story compared to the original book, but twenty episodes seems really, really short to do justice to the central plot 
(a quick skim of google tells me that the special edition leans harder into the original novel’s gayness, which the show has to be coy about, because china. i think there are expanded scenes featuring the two leads, which is awesome, because their acting is AMAZING, but that just means the plot scenes are even more compressed. I saw at least one person recommend that you not do the special edition unless you’ve consumed the story in at least one other more standard format already)
Also! Iirc, the show is available on youtube and netflix, among other platforms, though those two are wonderfully accessible. However, comma, I do hear from people fluent in chinese that the subtitles sometimes are inaccurate in unnecessary/unfortunate ways. From what I hear, viki has the best complete set of subtitles (I think there may be fansub projects in progress, but I am not at all in touch with those. I still haven’t watched the show myself).
And the general summary of my current webnovel fixation! There’s this webnovel author who goes by mxtx, who currently has three complete books out, which have all been translated into english. Then after I finished those, I started branching out into other authors and webnovels, though I’m not too deep into that end of the pool yet. I’ll break each book into a separate paragraph for clarity. 
Oh, and. Each of these books is explicitly gay, and set in ancient fantasy china, in a wuxia/xianxia setting, which I’m not too familiar with myself, but I believe it functions a lot like how authors will use ‘ancient fantasy europe’ as a playground where they don’t necessarily need to match up to established countries/cities/etc, but they expect readers to recognize certain conventions, like I’d be able to recognize a western author writing a basic feudal setting, or recognize witches and wizards, without them explaining the whole thing from the bottom up. Since I’m not familiar, it raised the difficulty level a little for me to get into the genre, but the webnovel translators tend to use footnotes and I picked up a lot as I went on.
(if you are interested in any of these, novelupdates.com is a good central resource collecting links to various fan translation projects)
So! Mxtx. Her earliest book is The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System (SVSSS), which is also the shortest and most linear of her books. The general premise is that a guy who’s been hate-reading this (straight) stallion harem webnovel with a dark protagonist. He goes to bed, and wakes up in the novel, as the protagonist’s dickbag teacher, who is doomed to eventually die horribly. He wants to not die, and is also a decent human being, so the book follows the “original” novel derailing from its intended path, and accidentally getting super duper gay. This one is about to come out in donghua form, but I think that may be its first non-book adaption.
Her second book, which was adapted into The Untamed/Chen Qing Ling (CQL), is also known as The Grandmaster Of Demonic Cultivation/Mo Dao Zu Shi (MDZS), which really manages to be the hardest of her books to summarize. Wei Wuxian, the grandmaster of demonic cultivation, dies. Thirteen years later, he wakes up in someone else’s body. Most of the world would like him to stay dead, tbh, but he’s a good egg, and he and his old friend(????) go forth and solve a necromantic mystery together, and also there is romance-romance and ten million family feelings. This one gets nonlinear, with several extended flashback sequences, and the story STARTS at about the midway point of the plot. This has been adapted into an audio drama at least once, a manhua, a donghua, and now a live action show, so it goes by a million different names in its various formats.
Her third book, and the LONGEST, is Heaven Official’s Blessing/Tian Guan Ci Fu (TGCF), and oh my god, it’s so long, and I love it so, so much. This gets into high fantasy much  more than the other two, including the idea that as people develop their cultivation and powers, they may eventually achieve immortality and ascend to the heavens. The story follows Xie Lian who achieved immortality and ascended to heaven! And then fell. And then ascended! And fell again. Eight hundred years later, he ascends for the third time. He meets Hua Cheng, the ridiculously powerful ghost king, who most of the other immortals are terrified of. But Hua Cheng seems to like Xie Lian! And Xie Lian thinks Hua Cheng is a sweet boy! (hua cheng is a sweet boy, but only for xie lian). This also has extended flashback sequences, but is a more linear story than MDZS, I think. Also it made me cry, which, wow, rude. I love it so incredibly much. This also exists as a manhua, but I think it’s still being published? I haven’t read it yet.
NOW. Mxtx is working on a fourth book, but it’s not out in chinese yet, never mind english. But I needed More. I was getting some SVSSS vibes from this one other book, which, *wobbly hand motions*, but I am enjoying the hell out of this book purely for its own sake.
Meatbun is an author with other books that I haven’t read yet, but I am currently in the middle of The Husky And His White Cat Shizun/Er Ha He Ta De Bai Mo Shi Zun (Erha/2ha), which is at this moment being adapted to a live action tv show called Immortality. There are MANY warnings that go with this book, though the google docs translation files do a good job of placing warnings at the front of every document and in front of relevant chapters. The general premise! Mo Ran basically conquered the entire world, put down all resistance by force, and was a super powerful but Kinda Dumb emperor. As part of this, he took his old teacher, who he despised with a burning passion, prisoner, and abused him a Lot. The story starts as rebels try to mount an assault on his palace, and Mo Ran’s cousin gets impatient with how slowly things are moving and runs ahead of the group. He finds that (suicide warning:) Mo Ran has... taken poison, and is in the middle of dying. This doesn’t stick. He wakes up as a teenager, apparently having traveled back in time, and starts living through events again, with the knowledge of his past life. It took me a while to warm up to this story, but ohhhh my goodness, it’s so TASTY. The translation for this one is ongoing, and I am in AGONY waiting for further updates.
So those are the ones I’m currently into and mostly blogging about! I also read Dreamer In The Spring Boudoir, mostly because feynite wrote an SVSSS fic set in the universe of that novel, which was good in some ways, left me cold in others (and the original novel is straight, with a society with rigid gender roles, so making it super gay in the fic made the setting much more interesting to me). Meatbun has other writing, which I haven’t sampled yet, but I am definitely interested in doing that sometime soon. 
Sorry, I know this is a LOT, so if you have any other questions feel free to ask me!! I got into these mostly via being interested in the untamed, so I read them as 1) mdzs, 2) svsss, 3) tgcf, 4) erha, which was an order that worked well for me. But if someone was looking for a general order to read them in, independent of that, I might suggest 1) svsss, 2) mdzs, 3) tgcf, 4) erha. They’re all really good, and scratch different emotional itches, and each of them has at least a few characters who sucker-punch me RIGHT in the goddamn heart. They’ve been a HUGE help for me dealing with the restlessness and/or apathy of quarantine, so I’ve been evangelizing them to pretty much anyone who will listen to me, hahaha

Falling into the Juliantina fandom in ten steps...
Step One (1) : randomly scroll through Tumblr and see a gif of of this two being soff and feel an overwhelming need to find out more.
Step Two (2) : figure out their ship name and go through the juliantina tag for hours.
Step Three (3) : desperately search for links with english subs or for spanish speakers links to the full novela.
Step Four (4) : thank God All The Lillies exists. (and all the other awesome accounts helping out and translating)
Step Five (5) : watch the WHOLE Juliantina storyline broken down into videos of 2 to 5 minutes in 3 to 6 parts per episode on YouTube. All of this in ONE (1) SLEEPLESS night.
Step Six (6) : Fall madly in love with them and their, well written and carefully crafted, love story.
Step Six point Five (6.5) : Hate Lucho.
Step Seven (7) : not believe a network like Televisa would allow something like this to happen and give it a primetime tv slot (this one is mostly for Mexicans that grew up with this TV network and understand what a big freaking deal this is for our country.)
Step Eight (8) : stalk Macarena and Barbara in all their social media.
Step Nine (9) : get heartbroken with the new episodes that we are now following as it airs. And be extremely confused when you realize that the rest of the novela is now leaking into their storyline and you don't understand shit. (Valentina's dad's soul is in Juliana's dad's body? And he's also a hitman? Wait what?)
Step Ten (10) : wait in agony everyday for night to hit so we can have new Juliantina content, while also dedicating every free moment of our day to rewatching the old content.

Top Five THC Pre-Rolls of 2019
As the year finds some conclusion, our group here at Custom Cones USA has chosen to pick the best five THC pre rolls that have outperformed the opposition. We took cautious thought in picking the main ones, with blossom/paper quality, and bundling being the top highlights we take a gander at. These pre folds have brought advancement into another level and given clients the best experience with regards to easily smoking. They have likewise furnished the market with probably the most intriguing strains, that convey the strength expected on a pre roll.
Make certain to likewise look at our connection on the Top CBD Pre Rolls of 2019!
Presently how about we get into the rundown!
Tumblr media
5. Dime Bag - Strawberry Cough - A sativa predominant strain, Dime Bag took it out of the recreation center with their 1 gram pre roll that has the sweet strawberry smell. It is ideal for morning to evening smokes, as it leaves you with an elevating, euphoric high that absolutely disposes of all tiredness. There are thick smokes that leave the Dime Bag pre roll, that makes most smokers have a slight hack, however it's 100% justified, despite all the trouble as you're left grinning. In the midst of extraordinary pressure, this Dime Bag cone carries out the responsibility of disposing of the incessant uneasiness. You can likewise go on daring climbs or some other outside involvement in this pre roll. We prescribe it for any camp outing with huge gatherings of companions. Dime Bag's joint cylinder marking is likewise on point, as it's sticker tape foundation makes it feel like a road made item, while the sweet fruity pre move inside make it a standard staple.
4. Shango - A Dub - Known from it's mix of Alien Dawg and Sour Double, this Indica predominant pre move by Shango is a powerhouse. It's orange and dark colored hairs can be seen through the moves, which shows how well Shango has picked their strains. It reliably comes to above 27% THC in strength and leaves smokers with an eruption of innovativeness and unwinding. Craftsmen can anticipate having a smoke and having new thoughts stream into their heads. It's fitting that you light this pre move during the evening time, as business related undertakings are more uncertain be finished. In the event that you are having issues with your hunger, this additionally takes care of the issue, as you are unquestionably going to have the munchies. Any patients managing pressure, agony, and gloom have discovered their ideal .6gram pre roll! Shango keeps on indicating that their venture into the pre move industry will give the market intense cones.
3. Artizen - Grape Ape - From Washington, Artizen has reliably furnished the market with sweet fragrant flavors and their Grape Ape is their main one. One whiff of the pre roll, and you can smell the sweet grape blooming into the air. An Indica prevailing, this normally finishes in a snooze for all clients, so it's ideal for those restless evenings. A blend of the Mendocino Purps, Afgani, and Skunk #1 make the Grape Ape have it's mark reddish hair and it's purple thick buds. The purple can be seen from the outset of the pre move, which tastefully looks excellent. The bundling done on the joint cylinder (youngster safe) is in like manner satisfying to see, and is a case of the solid brand Artizen has made (shading coordinating their strains). I would exhort looking at Artizen's different strains like the Allen Wrench and Purple Tangie, as their flavor will before long be one you perceive no problem at all.
Tumblr media
2. Art 710 Sesh Infused - Craft went full scale when they made this pre move with their mark PHO wax that simply make the flavor leap out once you sparkle it. Their one of a kind pre moves offer power like none other and they have figured out how to imbue the pre roll, while as yet causing it to consume uniformly each time. With each joint coming at .75gram, it very well may be imparted to an individual, or you can take everything to the face leaving you with a combo of flavors. Absolute THC intensity can reach above 28% and is really an imaginative pre move in the space. Art 710 joints can likewise be found in various flavors, which gives them a genuine chance to be the pioneers in the wax imbued pre moved cones. The Cornbread blended in with the Chocolope is likewise one that can considered a pre roll that can make any client a deep rooted fan.
1. Decent Mentions: Caliva Dogwalkers - Sticky and light green, this Caliva pre roll is ideal for the in a hurry joint with it's short edge. Caliva has had the option to make 4 pack that turns out to 1.2gram, making each joint .3 grams. Suitably named, this multi pack alternative is ideal for light smokers who can never complete the greater extra large joints. As the developments in the bundling space keep on developing, the littler estimated joints will have a bigger nearness in the business since they are the most effortless to pack. They additionally offer an open door for brands to supply the 3.5 grams (an eighth) while as yet having the option to offer 5-7 joints without a moment's delay. Caliva's Dogwalkers have begun a pattern that will begin a fight to see who can make the best littler measured joint, alongside the most reasonable and sleekest bundling plan accessible available. Here would be Caliva's refreshed bundling!

Hail, holy Queen, mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To you we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to you we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.

Scruffy is back, to take the Professor Oak challenge in Let’s Go, Pikachu!
Tumblr media
Hi, everyone!
It’s been awhile since I last did any Pokemon blogging, and since then I’ve done two Avatar: The Last Air Bender challenges in the Unova Pokemon games: an Air Nomads challenge for Pokemon White, and a Fire Nation challenge for Pokemon White 2. After that I did another RPG (Random Pokemon Generator) challenge, this time for Pokemon X. 
With three months left to go until Pokemon Sword and Shield come out, I wanted to give another Pokemon challenge a try. But what should I do next? I didn’t really have the stomach to try and tackle another Nuzlocke – they’re just too stressful. But about a month ago, my friend Jay asked me if I’d ever thought about doing the “Professor Oak challenge”. I’d never heard of it, so he explained that the basic gimmick of the challenge is that you have to register all possible Pokemon in the Pokedex before battling each gym. Sounds easy enough, right? But then Jay pointed out that this also includes all possible Pokemon evolutions. I took a minute to process that, thinking about what that would mean just from playing the original Pokemon Red and Blue games. So you’d have to catch all the Pokemon on routes 1, 2, 3, and 22, as well as Viridian Forest, then evolve them all – including your starter Pokemon – with the highest level wild Pokemon available to get experience from probably being around level 6 or so. I told him, and I quote, “I don't think I would have the patience for that. Trying to raise multiple Pokemon to mid-30's levels, with only level 5 wild Pokemon as the maximum opponents to grind against? No thank you. :P”
…anyway, a month later and I’m eating my words. So thank you, Jay, thank you very much for the agony I’m about to put myself through at your suggestion. Remind me to mail you a thank-you bomb. xD
A lot of the credit also goes to John, whose YouTube videos detailing his progress doing the Professor Oak challenge through Pokemon Red, Pokemon Gold, and Pokemon Sapphire got me much more interested in the idea and got me to actually entertain the idea of trying it for myself. …but Jay is the one who linked me to those videos, so it’s still his fault. I highly recommend checking out John’s videos though, as I think they’re a really interesting watch.
Another link Jay was good enough to find for me was SingingShyGuy’s guide on the Professor Oak challenge subreddit. I’ve made my own checklist for each chapter of the challenge, but I will be using the guide to ensure I don’t miss anyone on my way through.
So, let’s have a look at what I need to do for this challenge.
Rule #1: Complete the Pokedex as much as you can before collecting a gym badge. As stated before, this includes evolutions of any Pokemon you get your hands on.
Rule #2: Only one game can be used. The Professor Oak challenge does not allow you to connect to, trade to or transfer from any other Pokemon game in the series. Because of this limitation, it will not be possible to get a full Kanto Pokedex.
There’s also an unspoken rule #3 stating that no glitches can be used, but considering that I will be doing this with the newest game in the series, Let’s Go Pikachu,there aren’t any glitches I know of that would have made this easier anyway. There’s certainly nothing like a Missingno glitch in this one.
There are 186 Pokemon you can have in the Let’s Go Pokedex, although the Pokedex will only technically list it as 153: - the original 151 Kanto Pokemon - 15 mega evolutions (yes, I’m including mega evolutions for this challenge) - 18 Alolan variants - and Meltan and Melmetal
Due to the second rule about not using any other games for this challenge, that immediately disqualifies several Pokemon from this challenge. I won’t be able to get the four Pokemon that evolve from trading, any Pokemon that are exclusive to the Let’s Go Eevee version of the game, any mega evolutions of Pokemon you need other games to get, or Meltan or Melmetal, since that would mean using Pokemon Go. I’m also not going to be catching Mew as part of this challenge, as that requires connecting to a Poke Ball Plus. I do have a Poke Ball Plus, but you can only get one Mew from it, and I sent him to my original file the day I first got Let’s Go Pikachu. So all of the following Pokemon will not be available for this challenge:
Tumblr media
With 26 Pokemon eliminated, that leaves 160 for me to catch in this challenge. So tomorrow I’ll take the first step, beginning a new game in Pallet Town, and attempting to catch all of the following before I challenge Brock in Pewter City:
Tumblr media

I hope you enjoy this challenge, and feel free to give me any feedback along the way!

This week’s challenge is to find pleasure in the process. Discipline is the ability to force ourselves to do what we should do when we should do it. It is something we all struggle with and must develop, but motivation can be a more powerful driver of action. What if you could find pleasure in the tasks you must do. If you can equate pleasure with the task, you’ll be a lot more successful. “Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.” – Aristotle
If you don’t enjoy what you do, you aren’t really successful. Finding pleasure in the job is our responsibility. Our attitude toward what we do is a choice we make each day. We are responsible for our own happiness. We are responsible for our attitude toward our work, toward our relationships, and toward our life. If we cannot find happiness in our daily routine, we aren’t really successful.
“If you love your work, if you enjoy it, you’re already a success.” – Jack Canfiel
Lasting happiness doesn’t come from our achievements. Happiness comes from finding pleasure in our daily routine. Happiness requires frequent refreshing. It is a tree that requires daily watering to grow and flourish. It is our responsibility to find these pleasures in our daily routines to be happy. So how do we find pleasure in performing work that on the surface isn’t enjoyable?
Our attitude is a choice.This choice begins with a decision. The decision is to decide what things mean. What meaning do you attach to the task? Everything we do has a purpose, a meaning. We must find out what that is. Arnold Schwarzenegger was asked why he smiled during his long, 5-hour workouts.
Arnold’s attitude toward his training separated him from the other bodybuilders. While they seem to dread the long grueling workouts that were required to achieve a massive physique, he enjoyed them. He said he enjoyed the heavy lifting. He looked forward to every heavy set because he knew that each set was bringing him one step closer to his goal of becoming the greatest bodybuilder of all time.
Arnold was able to connect what he was doing with his desired outcome. That is why his attitude was so much better than the other bodybuilders. His attitude towards his training made him one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time.
Pain is weakness leaving the body. I heard this mantra numerous times at West Point and during my career in the military. I knew it was a tool to get us to push harder during physical training, but it wasn’t until years later that I truly understood the psychology behind the mantra. The mantra changed our neuro-association of pain with the pleasure of toughening the body and polishing the spirit. Pain becomes a pleasure.
CT Fletcher, former powerlifting champion, and fitness motivational speaker can often be heard in the gym saying, “I look for you pain.” He invites pain. He says it is his friend because he equates pain with growth. Muhammad Ali said, “I do not count my sit-ups. I only start counting when it starts hurting. That is when I start counting because then it really counts.”
To achieve extraordinary results, you must have an extraordinary attitude toward your work. Discipline can only get you so far. Motivation is a greater catalyst for action. If you can find meaning and pleasure in what you do on a daily basis, you’ll achieve excellence. When you find pleasure in the daily disciplines that are required to be successful, success is all but assured.
“Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.” – Jim Rohn
 If you cannot find pleasure in what you do, I suggest you find something that you can. Our attitude affects our performance. Poor attitude, poor performance. Great attitude, great performance. Most people neglect to cultivate a great attitude. Don’t let that be you. Your attitude affects everything you do. It effects your effort. It affects your smile. It affects your handshake.
Success requires hard work, but it doesn’t have to be drudgery. When you love what you do, work isn’t agony, it’s a pleasure. We achieve more success when we enjoy what we do, but more importantly, you’ll live a more fulfilling life.
If you cannot find happiness in the process of achieving your goals, you aren’t really successful. Achievements that don’t produce sustained happiness produce an unsatisfying life. Most people don’t enjoy what they do. Most people say, “Thank God it’s Friday.” This poor attitude is normal, but you don’t have to be average. “Success is doing what the failures won’t” – Jim Rohn. We should all enjoy our weekends, but we should also enjoy our weekdays. We should enjoy our lives.
The average worker will tell you it is called work for a reason. The prevailing attitude is that work shouldn’t be pleasurable. I suggest that we take another approach to our work. If we want to achieve above average results, we have to cultivate an above average attitude towards our work. If we can make work more enjoyable, why shouldn’t we?
“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.” – Steve Jobs
One thing that universally makes all of us happy is progress. When we are getting better, in any area of our lives, we feel great. We feel like a winner. “
Progress equals happiness. Progress is the game.” – Tony Robbins
 Every small win, every item checked off our to-do list makes us feel great. It releases dopamine. Dopamine is the chemical most closely related to long-term happiness.When our dopamine system is activated,we are more positive, excited and eager to go after goals.
The Progress Principle: Using Small Wins to Ignite Joy, Engagement, and Creativity at Work explains how progress improves the inner work life of employees and teams. Improvements in inner work life drive higher levels of performance and engagement; which in turn leads to better progress and enhanced inner work life. The author calls these reinforcing benefits, the “progress loop.” As you make progress, you rack-up small wins. These small wins make us feel great about ourselves, which stimulates the release of dopamine. When we are making progress in any area of our life, it gives us a sense of accomplishment. It gives us a sense of worth.
Hopefully, we can all agree that we have the power to change how we feel about our work by changing our attitude toward it. Here are some simple strategies to take more pleasure in what you do:
1)    Create a list, in your journal, of the reasons you LOVE doing something that the average person would find unpleasant. For example, I have formed the habit of starting each day with 30-minutes of technical reading, by creating a list of reasons. I love starting each day with technical reading because:
It will make me an expert in my field
It will make me more valuable to my company and to myself
It will help me get promoted
It will help me earn more money
It will prepare me for future opportunities
2)    Create a system for tracking small wins. Small wins help us to sustain motivation. Creating a daily to-do list and crossing off items as they are accomplished makes us feel great about ourselves. If you really want to do well at work, make sure you start each day with your most important task. The more impactful the task, the more it will contribute to your success. Don’t mistake being busy with being productive.
3)    Track your consistency. We are naturally more consistent when we track our consistency. If your goal is to make 10 cold calls a day. You could use a habit-forming app like Strides, Streaks, Fabulous, and Toodledo to track your consistency. Each time you record another successful day with the app, congratulate yourself. Celebrate this small victory. Say, “I am proud of myself today, good job!” Every small win activates our dopamine system and motivates us to go after our goals with greater vigor.
4)    When you feel your enthusiasm starting to wane, listen to something inspiring. Cynical people deride motivation because it doesn’t last. Tell me what lasts? Bathing doesn’t last, so should we stop doing it? Brushing our teeth doesn’t last, so maybe we should quit doing it? Coaches give their teams motivational speeches on a regular basis. Why do you think that is? Because it is effective. Motivation is the desire to do. When our desire to do is waining, we need to take action. You can find a ton of great motivational videos on YouTube. These videos are FREE. It doesn’t get much easier than FREE. Download your favorite to your smartphone and reach for it every time your motivation begins to wane.
5)    Force yourself to smile while you’re performing the task. Forcing yourself to smile, will improve your mood. Physiology has been shown to influence our psychology. Some have suggested that the paradigm we have been taught all our lives, that we smile when we are happy is backward. I don’t believe it is backward. I believe that it works both ways. I believe that our psychology and physiology are linked together in a push-pull relationship, with each affecting the other.
In the military, I was taught that false motivation was better than no motivation. I thought it was just a means of getting us to push ourselves harder during tough training, which it did, but I also discovered that it changed my attitude. Pretend motivation, leads to genuine motivation. Our mind seeks alignment between our thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors. The psychological term that describes a disharmony between attitude and behavior is called cognitive dissonance. When there is a lack of harmony between our attitudes and behaviors we seek to reduce that cognitive dissonance. When you force a smile, it signals to the mind that you are happy. Your body reduces levels of stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol and increases levels of endorphins and dopamine.[i]
We should enjoy our work. As Steve Jobs said, it is going to fill a large part of our lives. We shouldn’t wait to enjoy our lives. We should enjoy each day, our workdays as well as our weekends. If we can’t find daily pleasure in our life, what is the point? If we achieve great results but don’t find any fulfillment in their accomplishment, are we truly successful?
I hope that you will take what you have learned this week and apply it. We are all responsible for our own happiness. Happiness is a choice we all make, and it begins with what we focus on each day. I hope you will choose to focus on what brings you pleasure.
Until next week, good luck, best wishes and best health!

“Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.” – Jim Rohn This week’s challenge is to find pleasure in the process. Discipline is the ability to force ourselves to do what we should do when we should do it.
