Master List of ML Crack Posts: #1

 As some of you may know, my memory sucks.  This list is as much for you guys as it is for me ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ 

I’ll be updating this thing periodically.  I’m putting the links under a “read more” so the updates will show up in case someone wants to reblog this.  I love it when something is reblogged (especially when I can read the funny tags), but y’all are random af.  You give me a good laugh on my rough days and I love each and every one of you ＾ω＾

Have fun down the ML rabbit hole of crazy (after the cut)!:

*PLEASE READ THE GENERAL DISCLAIMERS*

i won’t tell you how to live your life

but it’s probably a good idea to read the general disclaimers

I am no longer in this fandom for several reasons

so there won’t be any updates to this list

but here are the posts I’ve done

we watched the English dub because I have a kid who can’t read

and a husband who doesn’t want to

I prefer the French, but use the English names for all but Chat Noir

march: week 5

27: i did not get enough sleep. i took my time getting ready in the morning because i had a legit reason for not being in the office on time. i woke up with a headache so i took some advil. after eating breakfast, i hopped on the train and got to work at like 9:30 am or something, which isn’t that bad. i found out that cole forgot his laptop so he had to go back home to work (LOL but qq). i got real hungry at 11 am for some reason so i took an early lunch at 12 pm. i was pretty productive and got my 5 videos edited. then i worked some more and listened in on an extended stand up. after that, i finished editing and uploaded some of them before leaving the office early. i was awake but my body was tired. i met with kevin at the train station (he got off early too). we got back and i finished up some work before taking a nap with kevin. we slept through our alarm LOL and kevin ended up waking me up 10 minutes before the painting session.

we headed over and were surprised that they were giving us pizza, wine, beer, and chicken wings <3 i ate two slices of pizza because i wasn’t gonna be sitting there painting while my tummy rumbled. we got to meet more of the residents at deco and it was nice. i painted a night version of the painting and kevin followed the instructions for a sunset landscape. one of the instructors, josh, worked on the animations and design for bioshock! what?! i’ve basically met a celebrity imo LOL. i didn’t play bioshock but i’ve seen the artwork and everything. we finished painting at like 9:30 pm and it was a successful “date night.” kevin’s painting skills have gotten a lot better! hhe. i made the mushroom rice and washed dishes. then i exercised while kevin cooked the rest of our lunch. then i showered and got in bed and played bravely default. omggg, i stayed up until 2:30 am playing x__X this is bad but the game is so addicting! i went to sleep around that time or something :P

28: mmmm i got to work a bit late again but no one was in the office. lol my entire team was wfh and only a few devs and the marketing team were here. i was pretty productive and then i got distracted and felt tired so i took a break from work to write in my tumblr... i just worked on editing and uploading videos today. it took my entire day. who knew that 5 videos under 6 minutes could take that long to edit. anyway, cole and stephen surprised us by coming in. :O they came from their client site and joined us for the free pizza provided by our forrester contact who was presenting for all-hands today. i ate pizza yesterday so i was like yolo, i’m gonna eat this. the pizza was way different from papa john’s. the crust was harder. i gave stephen and cole some of the candy gum i got from the grocery store and then we listened to the presentation. i got cole to sit in his old seat next to me today ahhaha. he did have to go in the office to talk to stephen a lot so i guess this new arrangement is good for them :P

i stayed longer than i expected but i did leave at around 4:30 pm. it was raining x__x i got back, took out the beef to defrost, and then tried out my new arctis 7 headset! :)))) the sound is alright but the mic is pretty good! i put it away, snacked a bit, and then did abs and cardio. kevin came back and turned on the wireless function for me. i think i’m gonna keep them. i prepped some veggies for dinner while kevin showered then i showered and we had leftovers and watched ‘how to get away with murder.’ then kevin started watching a dota game and i played with my headset. ;D i jammed out while he cooked and watched his game. then i played bravely default until 1 am or so. i was so tired by then. i brushed my teeth and went to sleep before 2 am.

29: it was nice to get 7 hours of sleep today...LOL. when i got up, i was productive because i needed to help sultan figure out this whole video organization thing. i needed to make things easier for him to update the videos. after that, i got to recording. these arctis 7 pick up my voice a lot easier so i need to be careful. i could hear myself breathing and stuff. .__. i had a client meeting today and i did a live tutorial for them (: yay! being active and actually talking in a call makes all the difference. i finished recording and then put away dishes and washed dishes. then kevin came home and gamed so i watched ‘jane the virgin.’ then we ate dinner and watched an episode of ‘how to get away with murder’ before kevin went back to gaming and i did new cardio excercises :) i did one with weights and i died. then we watched another episode, i took a nice long shower, and kevin did some work. i found out that my swollen “ring” toe might be hammer toe? mmmm. it’s probably caused by me working out without gym shoes because i do it at home... kevin and i tried taping it but failed. i finished watching ‘jane the virgin’ and then played a bit of ‘bravely default’ and went to sleep pretty early.

30: i felt sleepy even though i got more sleep? hmmm. the train was delayed so i got to work at 9:30 am even though i got on at like 8:40 am. cole got me a doughnut and i was confused because i thought he was just getting the office doughnuts? steve brought in mini cadbury eggs so it’s all coool. :P i got the gluten free chocolate doughnut and it was pretty good. mmm work went by fast. i had a good amount to do and then i was told to do some testing -- it was fun! cole and i figured out the chat and game audio problem. i was hearing a tinny sound on my game audio for some reason but then switching it to connect to my laptop rather than my monitor worked. :) i can now listen to music and be on calls and etc. so cool! anyway, i was pretty tired after work zzzz. i think the headset problem drained me haha. i ended the day with a call that ended at 5 pm and then took the train home -- it was emptier than usual. i was really tired so i was playing around with the idea of taking nap but, i just did 60 minutes of kickboxing instead. then i washed the dishes, made rice, and hit the shower. i started editing my 2min showcase video (i’m so latee but i’ve been busy) and then kevin came back, showered, and we ate dinner while watching tv. then i ko’d and woke up, washed the rest of the dishes, packed kevin’s lunch, brushed my teeth, and hit the hay. i woke up from my nap with soreness all around my core. i am ded. LOL. kevin and i went to sleep before 2 am. zzz. this week has been super tiring for both of us.

31: i got a lot of sleep, which was nice. i cleaned the dishwasher and washed the sheets all while working. we got pulled into a pretty intense meeting before stand up that continued on stand up. then i continued recording and the day ended with another intense stand up but then i was done for the day! kevin got back from work and we ate while watching some tv. then we went straight into cleaning the apartment for ryan and nluu’s stay here. then i did a bit of exercise but i was so physically worn out that i could only do 30 minutes of hip hop cardio and then i laid on the floor watching a vlog LOL. my body was just so sore all over. kevin was a bit worried about me but he had a lot of work to get done. so then i got up, showered, we made the bed, and i ko’d at like 12 am. i really do need some rest days but i feel bad for not moving and exercising every day. it seems like a waste. kevin ended up staying up until 3 am working on his project with old lab peeps.

apr01: we were going to arrive in yale late because of the weather and we needed more sleep. kevin also had to update his team on his progress from last night. we got gas and then kevin drove around 2 hours to get to yale. when we got there, vivian dropped us off at junzi and i had another delicious bowl <3 kevin got the chun bing so i tried it and i think that the noodle bowl is still better. then saad, jennie, nluu, kevin, and i got into the car and drove to the biggest bowling alley i’ve ever been to. the glow in the dark bowling thing is not my favorite though. i granny-rolled the whole 2 hours. nluu is a beast at bowling x__x kevin and nluu won the first round, then everyone else tied for the second round. it was fun! we ordered pizza and headed back to jennie’s place. vivian and saad went to pick up the pizza and get bubble tea. so we just chilled and when they came back, they played two rounds of avalon. i played bravely default while this was all happening haha. the mashed potato pizza and clam pizza were alright. saad apparently loves clam pizza. then we brought out the cake for nluu and sang happy birthday to him :P

we played fish bowl to wrap up the night and we left after the first round because it was nearing 11 pm and we wanted to get back to boston at a reasonable time. ryan took the train to new haven and met up with us. during the car ride back, we just talked about pokemon, our jobs, our lives, etc. it was nice. nluu ko’d at some point. we all lazed around until 4 am...LOL ryan and nluu were playing the guitar and ukulele, kevin was watching a dota game, and i stayed up playing bravely default. so much for fixing my diet and sleeping schedule x__x

apr 02: mmmm everyone got up around 11 am or 12 pm. i played bravely default while the guys played a steam game, played on the guitar and ukulele, and made congee. this game is so interesting now! we bummed until around 3 pm and then everyone went grocery shopping. kevin was a bit scatterbrained because he was worrying about climbing and dinner and etc. x__x; the shopping trip took longer than expected and everyone got hungry. so we got back and toasted some hawaiian bread rolls. then the guys left to climb. we stopped by oh my tea and experienced the worst customer service ever: they ran out of boba (wtf) and the new hire like rq’d on us while taking our order. whut. my opinion of this boba place has now dipped drastically. kevin got the green apple green tea and ryan got the red bean milk tea without boba. ryan’s drink was really good :O

i played more bravely default while doing laundry and then i did obliques and cardio. then i showered and folded the laundry. the guys came back with wingsover and fat cat. ryan and i got the lobster and crab wrap, which wasn’t that great. so i ate the wings and a good amount of fries. mmm. we watched ‘the voice’ videos and hot sauce videos basically. then nluu, ryan, and i just talked about random things and we played a spontaneous writing game. someone would read a line from a cookbook and then we raced to finish writing first while trying to write legibly. one person would be in the other room and not listening to what the sentence is and then come out to judge, ahah. i beat ryan and ryan beat kevin. the guys took turns showering/using the bathroom and then they went to play pool and chill in the lounge. it was pretty late by then so i played a bit of bravely default and then ko’d at like 2 am. i knew i was going to be sooper tired tomorrow.
