Carmen Electra is hot, but I have other nice qualities.

If you thought that maybe with the change of the seasons comes a change in the ferocity of my mom's obsession with my (lack of) exercise regime, you would be wrong. She is CONSTANTLY harping on me to go for a run, but things are still awkward with Charlie at the cafe, and I don't like being lapped by groups of 70 year old power walkers. So today, I decided to take matters into my own hands.

MOM: Early! Look how nice it is outside! Why don't you go for a nice run?
ME: It's cold.
MOM: It's BRISK! There's a difference!
ME: I don't feel like running today.
MOM: Yes and I'm sure the Pope doesn't feel like giving mass today, but such is life. You need the exercise.
ME: What if I told you I could exercise in the house?
MOM: Early. We've talked about this. Taking your neopet for a walk around Neopia DOES NOT COUNT AS EXERCISE.
ME: What if I bought a workout video?
MOM: You mean like buns of steel?
ME: Erhm. Maybe not THAT one. But yes.
MOM: I guess that would be ok.....

So I went to Target to buy a workout video. There was quite a huge selection, but I ended up with the perfect option for my lifestyle:
It's an entire exercise video of exersizes I can do WITHOUT EVEN HAVING TO GET OUT OF BED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm actually really excited about working out now. The thing is, I HATE to work out. It makes me miserable. And I know that if I ran every time my mom told me to, I'd probably look more like Carmen Electra than I do now. But I figure that looking like Carmen Electra just doesn't come with the package of Being Earlene Watts. And maybe Carmen Electra really hates gaming. So she doesn't do it. And that's fine. Because I guess being as good of a gamer as Earlene Watts just doesn't come with the package of Being Carmen Electra.

Earlene, you should make your own Carmen Electra-inspired video if you know what I mean!
