The Wonderful Wii Fit

I have just been on my Wii Fit for 15 minutes.

So what exactly is the wii fit if you're not lucky enough to own one of your own?

The Wii Fit is a game for the Nintendo Wii, intended to give people all the fun of a video game but more interactive and 'get people off the sofa.'

On the wii fit you can weigh yourself, monitor your weight and set goals for weight loss (or gain as the case may be) and do fun and challenging exercises.

The games available are very varied, from hula-hooping to ski-jumping and advanced yoga poses. You stand on the Balance Board and follow the on-screen instructions depending on whatever exercise you have chosen.

It also has a competitive nature, as multiple people can register and you can battle to beat your sister's score on hula-hooping or your aunt's distance on ski-jump.

The only down's side I find, is that the weights are very inaccurate (in my case.) My weight once apparently dropped by 15 pounds overnight, and the next day I had gained 11, which is humanly impossible.

In conclusion, the Wii Fit is a wonderful way to exercise and it can be quite funny watching people fail miserably as long as you don't take it very seriously.

Whoah, this takes me back. To the days of 12 year old, Doc-Marten wearing, naive Robyn.

Anyway, enough about me. This blog is designed to be less of a place where I go on about me, more of a place where I go on about the WORLD.

Starting with....

My local area. I live in a small town, which I detest. Reasons:

It stinks of rotten chicken guts. (Thanks to a chicken factory where they kill, gut and process chickens. They then dispose of the chicken guts in a big bin which really, really stinks. I hope you've already eaten.)

A murderer lives just down the road from me. He killed a teenage boy and dumped him in the river.

It's 15 miles from any of my friends and the bus costs nearly my entire week's pocket money to get there.

It's full of horrid people. You know the sort. That wear trashy revealing clothes, have babies at age 15, and drunk old men that are always smoking. They hang outside pubs and smoke and whistle when you go past.

I go to school in a bigger town called Perth, which is quite large as towns in Scotland go. It's here I have my future mapped out. I am going to get a flat next to the river and work in this beautiful little coffee shop that overlooks the river. It's called Cupcakes.

Nobody seems to go there so I think I'll post a mini-review.

Cupcakes: A small shop, with a pink and green painted front, with the word CUPCAKES painted in red. Chinese lantern fairy lights frame the word Cupcakes. Step inside, and a mix of pop music and classic hits play at a gentle background noise level. Downstairs, pink leather sofas, upstairs, chairs and tables.

Behind a glass counter lie a very tempting range of cupcakes, decorated with different fruit, sprinkles and generally very yummy looking.

Friendly staff come up to you every five minutes in pink cupcake-patterned aprons asking if they can get you anything else. I don't go there often as it gets quite expensive but it is where I want to work when I'm older.

Okay, that concludes that....

An Insight into the World of Robyn.
