note to self: maybe not tumblr

Right, so on Tuesday I did the whole fasting for four hours thing so I could learn my resting metabolism thing. (I really, really wanted it to be spelled "medjem," which is how it's pronounced. Alas, it's "medgem," or "MedGem," if you're putting the proper capital letters in, but who wants to do that? It's the internet!)

Basically you just breathe into this lil' device for ten minutes, and that's it. Easy, right? This is pretty much how it went:

Unsuspecting Test Administrator: "Just breathe normally, I'm going to look through your paperwork; feel free to use your phone, whatever."

Me: ::thumbs up::

Me: ::feeds the cats in neko atsume, checks my fitbit stats, gets bored, opens tumblr::

Eight minutes into the ten minute test I burst out laughing.

(Note: It was this post, specifically the "local demon cannot stop inconveniencing himself with his own wiles" tag.)

Then I had to explain what I was doing, and luckily the person doing the test was cool with me starting over. (She seemed bemused but in a positive way. Her advice was 'maybe not tumblr, this time?')

(PS: Got through it fine the second time. My metabolism is "pretty normal." Good to know!)
