I'm not dead yet

Helloooooo followers, old and new!

Thanks for sticking around-- I really want to punch past Rayna in the face because I've got some major projects coming up that (surprise, surprise) are nowhere close to being done.

Should I find it necessary to continue this cycle of self hate, loathing, destruction, etc, you will undoubtedly see a new post pretty soon.

For even more future Rayna's own sake though, let's hope not--but maybe she'll have learned to deal with it better.

what happens when I attempt yoga

Yoga has a multitude of benefits (via the trusty WebMD):

• increased strength and flexibility
• better posture 
• ease in movement, especially between joints
• less stress and more relaxation

That last one right there is of particular interest to me. I'm either really successful or just plain bad at yoga because whenever I try it, I cannot stop falling asleep. Can't fight child's pose, I suppose.

Child's pose, also known as "beached whale"

Oh yeah? Well my life sucks more than yours!

We all know someone who does this--they counter every single little thing you say just to one-up you. In most cases, this is insufferable, but still tolerable. In the absolute worse case though, when you just need to have a little moment of self pity and throw yourself a pity party to make yourself feel better, The Other Guy needs to go.

Examples:

Me: Wow, I'm kind of tired...

The Other Guy: Yeah? Well I pulled two all nighters this weeks, and I got 3 hours of sleep last night!

Me: I should probably go get some work done...

The Other Guy: Me too...I've got this project due tomorrow and then I have 5 exams and 3 quizzes, man I'm so busy!!

What I wish I could do in these situations:
