@Pixel: what movie did you see? I am so unimpressed with the movies they make lately that I do not even know what is out.

"A Quiet Place".

It is really a quiet af movie... xD

For once, I actually didn't spend a Saturday night huddled up alone in my apartment.

I went out with a coworker, had dinner, watched a movie. :'D We may be going to a club together in the next upcoming weekends, too. I've never been! Hell, I've only been to an actual bar in my life once, too.

I'm 27.

But yaaassss. I give the movie 9/10. At almost the very end, one guy in the audience shouted "YEAUH". The whole fucking theater was trying to hold back laughter.

The movie was quiet, so you can hear the snickers. The timing was just amazing. "YEAUH."

If you do decide to stay on the path, try to be a bit better with the budget. Gotta learn how to do it properly and sustainably, y'know. That gets a lot of people in the long run. Just experiment with more veg, make homemade meals, etc. Choose a cheaper protein, I see pork was on there a lot.

You can have that stuff, just in moderation. xD That is the key to living healthy. Gotta find the balance where you can do it, and continue doing it.

Whaaaa-... Eating healthy doesn't have to be expensive. D: Or that much work. 'Healthy' can mean a whole bunch of different things, may I ask how it is being interpreted in this case?

< Extremely health-conscious due to previously lived life... xD;

I meal prep every week, either Saturday night or Sunday afternoon... Or both! It is my absolute favorite day of the week. I experiment with the same general ingredients to save time/money on prep (pre-chop all ingredients at once, etc), but you can have WILDLY different dishes (even culture-wise) with just a few key differences.

My favorite/cheapest meal preps lately have been tikka masala (everything down the spice mix is by hand, cooked long and slow), handmade chicken meatballs with varied sauces, chicken burgers, tofu pad thai, etc. Eeee. <3

Edit:
I'm also a nerd and cut my vegetables into flowers and shit to make a nice pretty bento... xD; <3

Edit2;
Jesus christ, some of those smoothies have a lot of sugar. Are most of your breakfasts going to be smoothies? You can skip the actual 'making it a smoothie' part and eat the fruit/yogurt, too. It'll save you on needing to add honey for sweetness, which'd save both sugar and calories. Not to mention you are missing out on dietary fiber.

Same for some of the recipes where you add in your own granola, etc, make sure you aren't doing sugar added ones. You could end up with a rather bad crash later... Some granola is just as bad as plain sugary cereal.

Super beware of what juice concentrate you buy. Check to see if it is pure fruit, or if they did added sugars. Seriously.

You may want to check into mobile hotspots you can buy, too! A lil thing you can plug into your computer and you get wifi. You can pay a certain amount for a certain amount of data... Wouldn't do it for things like gaming, but it takes quite a LONG damned time to get through the data on avatar websites. Just remember to turn it off before going to sleep, you'd waste money. I used to have one for Virgin Mobile, was good when I was a student and needed to go random places while bringing laptop for schoolwork.

I just want longer hair that doesn't hide the eyebrow rings. All of the ones that cover one eye only cover -that- eye. xD;
