  1. I've always been super flexible. I've always been able to do the splits but if I don't do it often I tend to manage to lose a few inches over the months. I'm back at about 4 inches further from where I used to be and thus working on it again.
  2. Back again. I've recovered quite a lot since. Hoping to join the next challenge. :)

  3. Hi there! So I'm pretty flexible and agile, and have quite a lot of stamina. My body strength... pretty feeble, but I reckon I can improve upon that. Anyways I live by the woods and I'd love to try just, well, "wood elf-y things". Parkour-ish, but using the trees, logs, etc around me, So basically parkour. Just wondering; what kind of trainers should I get? I mean, are "barefoot" style ones good - but then, I might be susceptible to nettles and low brambles... High-tops too high? Low-cut ones not enough protection? Let me know!
  4. Taking a short hiatus from NF. Past eating disorder somewhat relapsing. I have it under control but I think I need to forget about fitness and food for a while and concentrate on, well, keeping my head above water. ♥

      Much love! You got this!

  5. Dropping this challenge. Feeling pretty down-and-out. Need a good hug and recovery time. (Nothing big - just not feeling so cheery for once)

      Thanks, guys. I'm alright. Just feeling not-awfully-motivated and, well, *shrugs*. I very much appreciate the virtual hugs, hehe!

  6. Is it too late to change a few of my quests? I don't think they're a great fit... Hmm...

      Great point, guys! Thanks so much. I think I'll give it until Monday, change the goals, and keep going on the streak am I - no point spending a challenge working towards goals I couldn't care less about, right? :)

      That sounds like a WIS+1 revelation right there...

  7. *Fangirls over the Mjolnir reference* Have a nice weekend, and see you on Monday.
  8. Hi there! Welcome aboard! I'm Aena, your neighbourhood yoga addict and all-around "zen" enthusiast. I'm also doing a daily yoga challenge. I like the idea of your side quest. I might have to consider that for my next challenge. Anyways, feel free to pm me if you feel like a chat - and can't wait to see how your challenge goes! I've subbed.
  9. Went to the coffee store. "Hi can I get a large hot chocolate and all of the brownies you have". Barista replies; "time of the month, eh?". I have zero regrets.

      Yeah, they've worked out enough to have ruled out any scary causes. Still, should have all the answers I need by Wednesday. Least my partner's been making hot water bottles and buying brownies for me for the entire time. 9 months of comfort as well as 9 months of cramps and cravings. x3

      Good for your partner! At least you're not alone through it :) Good luck with finding the answers!

      Thank you! :')

  10. Den building. No kidding. The lovely people who I've been best friends with since the age of 10 still insist that we meet up once a month or so and build a den, kid-style. Such great fun though. I hope the tradition never ends.
  11. Spent the last three hours crying over something I have to face tomorrow, and a fear of it being too close. Ironically I've now wasted three hours and am three hours closer. *sigh*

      Don't let yourself worry about how much you are worrying - whatever it is that you have to face tomorrow, it will not go on indefinitely. I hope that you can find some peace tonight as you prepare

      Closer means its also closer to being over. Hope you get some good sleep.

      Thank you so much, guys. I made it. Feeling fine now. I did what you said; thought about how it would be closer to being over too, trying to find some peace the night before, and making a little list. You guys are the best. <3

    Naw, thank you!
  13. First day into the challenge and managed to fail my first quest. Woops! But hey, I reckon that if I use my bands for the rest of the night I can just about make up for it. You know what they say;
  14. Wow, this page is looking amazing! I can't wait to see how it goes - and I can't stop admiring the amazing SAO gifs. Aah. Ooh. Anywho, I'm following. Wishing you the best of luck!
  15. How, oh, how to dye my hair next. Hmm....

      Lilac? Back to brunette?

      Depends on what product you use. I've started using henna, so it tends to only allow for natural colors, but I'm sure you can find other colors. But Lilac is a super pretty color

  17. She gazes, eyes wide with wonder, at the shimmering apparition of a face staring back at her. It is that of a young skinny girl; ears pointed, pale of skin and with curious eyes. The strange girl's shoulders rest and an arm tentatively reaches out - but just as her fingers brush the surface of the crystal-clear water, her reflection evaporates ripple-by-ripple. An eager smile creeps its way onto her lips. This girl stands tall, eyes drifting skyward, hands crossed like wings above her own kingfisher heart. Her eyes sparkle. Her face beams; "Let the adventure begin", she whispers with a grin. Great freedom comes with great responsibilityI've began my adventure and am on my own way, but it isn't all fun and games. Still, there is no reason to let this one slide. It's essential to remember that freedom and discovering can be refreshing and good for the soul, but that it's important not to lose your wits about yourself. Keep care of yourself on a basic level so that you have a foundation on which to build upon.Wear my Bands every dayA. 40-42 daysB. 37-39 daysc. 34-36 days Gengo hitotsu dake de wa tarinaiIf I ever hope to learn waterbending from the very best it's essential that I can speak in their tongue.

    Ready as I'll ever be. A tad nervous for my first challenge within a guild - I only completed the recruits last week. I'm very much looking forwards to meeting everybody.
  19. I've only worked out one quest for my next 6wc and its only a weekend away. Eep!
