blkhole24601 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Because not all Disney princesses are damsels in distress, and anyone who knows me can tell you that I am the exact opposite of a damsel in distress. Hi again! I’m blkhole24601, or Vicki if you want a real name to work with, a former Scout who is learning the graces of Assassinhood through dancing and maybe someday, gymnastics. My main motivation is because of my night job: I’m an actress in the Denver area and musical theatre is my first love, which is all well and good except I’m not exactly what you’d call graceful. Thus, my focus on dance! I’m also trying to pick up other physical skills (see: handstands, cartwheels, splits, etc.) that will make me more employable. Main Quest: Become a physically adept actress! Quest 1: Mulan - Let’s Get Down to Business [+2 STR +4 DEX +3 TBD]I know Mulan isn't technically a princess, but she's part of the official Disney Princess franchise so... This quest is honestly just a fancy way of saying, “I will exercise five times a week.†There is a regimen I want to incorporate into every workout that I do, and this is the easiest way to be sure that I not only find that routine but also continue to learn/perfect the skills I want to have under my belt by year’s end. So, said regimen:TMNT Mobility and Balance 5x/week [+2 DEX] Stronglifts 2x/week, free-for-all workout 3x/week [+2 STR, +3 TBD based on what I do] Jazz/ballet/tap classes don’t count. Not because I don’t think they’re a workout because I know they are, but because my focus is more on technique than a cardio session. Alternatively, other dance classes will count, and any at-home work on jazz/ballet/tap will also count. Tentative plan for the three other workouts will be yoga, running, and at-home dance work/U-Jam/Zumba, but again, NOT holding myself to this in case of Life. Splits/Flexibility Work 5x/week [+2 DEX] If a minimum of 30 minutes of yoga was completed as the main workout, it will also count towards this criterion. A = all 3 criteria met | B = 2 criteria met | C = 1 criteria met | D = for effort | F = zilch Quest 2: Ariel - Getting New Legs [+3 DEX] To continue my ultimate 2015 quest to quit moving like a graceless lummox at dance callbacks, I’m dedicating myself to 3x/week of dancing, with one of those days being at a jazz/ballet/tap class. Ideally I’d love for this to be twice a week but realistically schedules may not always work out that way. Zumba/U-Jam/anything that isn’t jazz or ballet or tap will not count towards having gone to class but will count towards the 3x/week. [3/6/2015 Adjustment: Weeks 5 and 6 will be excluded from the class requirement as long as I spend one dance session focused purely on technique.] A = 3x/week (A- =3x/week, no class) | B = 2x/week (B- = 2x/week, no class) | C = 1x/week, class | D = 1x/week, no class | F = zilch Quest 3: Tiana - Best Cook This Side of the Mississippi [+1 CON] Okay, so my meals will most definitely not hold a candle to Tiana’s, but I do miss cooking like something fierce. Therefore, I will cook once a week. I know it’s not a lot, but it’s all about starting small. I do hope that cooking more frequently than once a week will come naturally as I get into it more! A = 6 weeks complete| B = 5 weeks complete | C = 3-4 weeks complete | D = 1-2 meals cooked | F = never happened Life Quest: Giselle - Happy Working Song [+2 CHA]I don't care that she's not part of the official franchise, I love her and I love this movie. Part One: Sing 6x/week, just to solidify this as a habit. For a contingency should I not be able to sing for whatever reason (sick, voice needs a break, etc.), as long as I dedicate time towards studying musical theory, working on my audition pieces or The Mikado music (such as solfege work or plucking the notes out on my piano to get them in my head), or researching pieces for upcoming auditions, it will count. [+1 CHA] A = 6x/week | B = 5x/week | C = 3-4x/week | D = 1-2x/week | F = zilch Part Two: And now for a proper adulting requirement. I’m bad at keeping my apartment clean. I’m good at Netflix marathons. So, let’s combine the two! I will clean 5x/week for the length of an episode of whatever on Netflix. If I put in something that’s longer than 20-40 minutes, then I will only dedicate myself to cleaning for the first half hour or so. This should also, theoretically, help me declutter, too. [+1 CHA] [3/6/2015 Adjustment: 2 days a week starting in Week 3, as long as I do one chore in the house, it will count towards this quest. Chores mean putting away dishes, starting laundry, putting away laundry, taking out the trash, cleaning the litter box, etc.] A = 5x/week | B = 4x/week | C = 3x/week | D = 1-2x/week | F = zilch In Summary:1. Workout 5x/week [+2 STR +4 DEX +3 TBD]2. Dance 3x/week (Class 1x/week) [+3 DEX]3. Cook 1x/week [+1 CON]4. Sing 6x/week [+1 CHA]5. Clean 5x/week [+1 CHA](see why I basically HAD to go with a Disney princess theme???) Attribute Point Distribution:2+ STR | 7+ DEX | - STA | 1 CON | 0 WIS | 2 CHA(3 points from Quest 1 to be distributed at the end of the challenge based upon what exercises I do. Tentatively +1 STA and +2 DEX) Weekly Recaps:Day 0 | Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 | Challenge Complete!

Yay! \o/ I'm glad you enjoy my posts! Hopefully this challenge won't disappoint, either. Ugh, double post. Sorry. The website hiccuped and there they were! It happens! I think I once committed a triple post. More embarrassing was when my boyfriend used my computer to update his challenge thread, and neither of us logged him out before I swooped in to reply to his post... with his account. Ahahaha. ;;;;;;;;;; But that one was clearly my own fault; the double and triple posts are because the forums can be finicky. Does that make this challenge the Quest for the Holey Shoe?? Dance until my shoes explode... seems a worthy goal!

What does it say about me that I'm looking forward to this? IT'LL BE LIKE A TROPHY. subbed for blow-away-princess-skill Also I love Mulan and Tiana... can't wait to see all the amazingness you're cooking up! Mulan and Tiana are a couple of my most favorite "princesses" in the franchise (Jasmine was my childhood fave so I'll always have a soft spot for her, but I just couldn't fit her in anywhere in the challenge, alas). Definitely two of the most badass among the ladies!! I don't know anything about dancing, but I'm here for the handstands and cartwheels! Good luck with the cleaning goal! I have a similar approach with cleaning, except that I usually put on some good music to get into my cleaning groove. Yay handstands and cartwheels! I'm still figuring out my balance and power for handstands, and I'm such a mess on the left side for my cartwheels, so I'll be babbling about my progress on those two skills especially throughout the next 6 weeks. I'd love to do a passable left cartwheel and a consistent five second handstand by the end of the six weeks if possible! There may be a day when I actually do put on "Happy Working Song" while I clean, as well as a bunch of other Disney princess cleaning music. XD I just figure with the Netflix marathon, I'm sitting there idly and barely paying attention, normally playing games on my phone while I do these marathons, so I might as well be productive, too! Plus, it always makes the time go by faster.
