I'm Ang.

I'm a 23-year-old married woman who followed her heart (and her husband!) to Nova Scotia, where I'm currently a housewife, planning my future. I'm a huge computer nerd, especially when it comes to video games. I'm a fan of lists and spend a lot of time making them, even if they have no purpose at all. Want to know more?

Music test!

I’ve posted this at Midnight but I figure I’ll give more people a chance to guess at it, so here goes. I’ve taken 50 random songs from my playlist and put the first line of each of them down. Can you guess the song from the first line?

001. Wake up and smell the coffee, rise and shine, the early bird gets the worm…
002. I was just walkin’ that day aimlessly, you picked a perfect day to bump into me…
003. In Napoli where love is king, when boy meets girl, here’s what they say…
004. Now I still wonder why did you say goodbye, you let me stand here all alone…
005. This is my church, this is where I heal my hurts…
006. For those who’ve slept, for those who’ve kept themselves jacked up…
007. My baby don’t mess around because she loves me so…
008. I’m so dangerous, I’m so dangerous…
009. That’s word, we pray (pray, pray), We got to pray…
010. Another head hangs lowly, child is slowly taken…
011. Hey little sister, I hear you went to mister so-and-so, knock-knock-knocking on his door again last night…
012. So you think it’s funny that you keep calling me all of the time…
013. Prison gates won’t open up for me, on these hands and knees I’m crawling…
014. Day after day I’m more confused, yet I look for the light through the pouring rain…
015. Girl, Girl, who’s that girl, ’cause she’s driving me insane, who’s that girl, I’d like to know her name…
016. Stand up, sit down baby, gonna be a formal dress-down heyday…
017. Your rise and fall, back up against the wall, What goes around is coming back and haunting you…
018. There’s no one in town that I know, you gave us someplace to go…
019. I never thought I’d change my opinion again, but you moved me in a way I’ve never known…
020. Each time the wind blows, I hear your voice, so I call your name…
021. I can not take this anymore, saying everything I’ve said before…
022. We’ll do it all, everything, on our own…
023. I’ve never been the kind that you call lucky, always stumbling around in circles…
024. All brawn and no brains, yeah, and all those nice things…
025. Load up on guns, bring your friends, it’s fun to lose and to pretend…
026. Oh, no, no, no, no, no… I say what I want to say, I do what I want to do…
027. Step off the train, walking down your street again…
028. Honey came in and she caught me red-handed, creeping with the girl next door…
029. We were born the same day, we even think the same way, couldn’t be more right…
030. I put away the groceries, and I take my daily bread…
031. Hey baby, is that you, wow, your hair got so long, yeah, yeah, I love it, I really do…
032. Far away from home, the place where I belong, when I close my eyes, I start to realize…
033. I’m so enraptured by the thought of yesterday, you and me all alone in a quiet empty place…
034. Y’all know me, still the same O. G., but I been low key…
035. I remember those times of chasing hearts in the night…
036. I think of you when the morning comes and the night time goes away…
037. We’re living in repetition, content in the same old shtick again…
038. Did you ever mean the words you said, that forever you’d be mine…
039. She says don’t stare at me, she’s afraid that I might see those 5 extra pounds she talks about…
040. We stumble in a tangled web, decaying friendships almost dead and hide behind a mask of lies…
041. Sweet dreams are made of this, who am I to disagree…
042. The strands in your eyes that colour them wonderful…
043. Over time, I’ve been building my castle of love…
044. Adrian came home again last summer, things just haven’t been the same ’round here…
045. You always make me smile, when I’m feeling down, you give me such a vibe…
046. Hello there, the angel from my nightmare, the shadow in the background of the morgue…
047. You see the magazines and me on your TV screen and you think you know me but you really don’t…
048. Memories are just where you laid them, dragging the waters ’till the depths give up their dead…
049. I could lose my heart tonight, if you don’t turn and walk away…
050. We get it on most every night, when that moon is big and bright…

The worst coincidence ever.

Matt and I are watching The Shining right now. I’ve been incredibly brave, considering how much I hate scary movies. The phone rings in the movie… and then it rings here. At the same time. Gah!

My Inspiration

025/365

Every day I have this picture of me nearby. On my desk when I’m at home, in my purse in the car, in my book that I read while working out. It’s right there reminding me that there is a goal in mind. I’ll lose the weight eventually, and maybe with it, I’ll lose the insecurity and the self-consciousness that many years of mental self-abuse has given me. If I like myself, maybe I’ll be happy. For now, I keep this picture nearby.

To help a friend…

I have this awesome friend, Angela. She’s going through a horribly rough time right now. In late November, her father had a stroke, and at the moment is unable to work. This has left her family with the possibility of losing their home. She is having a very difficult time with the legal system, and they’re not helping her for a variety of reasons, one even being the fact that she doesn’t have kids. It’s very sad and very frustrating for her, and that’s not just something you can sit back and watch.

Basically, her friends are trying to help raise a little bit of money for her - enough to keep her afloat until her father’s legal stuff gets worked out. So if you have even a little bit of money to spare for an honest good cause, please go visit her site and donate a little bit. Or even just post a link to her site on your site. Anything that anyone can do will be a big help for this wonderful person in a terrible situation.

Of Facebook requests, new books and sore muscles.

We’ll start with the sore muscles. I went to the gym yesterday, as always, and was going to do my basic cardio warm-up and then weight circuit. When I got there, I realized I was just in time for a new class - back and abs. By the end of the half hour class, I was so tired that I could only do the lower back machine. After that I just went home. I was beating myself up for it, until today. Today, my ab muscles are so sore that walking hurts. Today, I’m down two pounds from yesterday. Today, I feel better about my fitness than I have in a couple of months. So I’m satisfied!

After my workout I went to buy some staple groceries (toilet paper, garbage bags, etc.) and came across a sequel to a book series that I loved reading - Shopaholic & Baby. I’m not very far into the book but so far it’s living up to my expectations! I love series books. It makes it easier to be absorbed in the story.

Now, about Facebook requests… What’s the deal with them? I have to admit that I’m annoyed by them. I hate having to log in and “ignore” 20+ requests on a daily basis. I’m not completely innocent - I’ll send requests to select people if it’s an application that I think they will find interesting or fun. However, I don’t just let every application that I ever use send requests to every person on my friends list. Is it just me, or does anyone else think that’s rude and/or annoying?
