The man sez: Gross. Birthdays. Fucking disgusting. And not really because of the oh-no-I'm-getting-soooooo-oooold shit. Birthdays just remind me of how little I've accomplished and how quickly I'm hurtling toward death. Macabre - that's me! On the way home from work, I noticed that the cheery, chubby woodchuck that lives near the exit ramp to my house had been run down and killed, undoubtedly by a major douche. I fucking love woodchucks!!! And seeing him dead just brought back on a total sad sack afternoon. I'm trying not to read into this, to see a misunderstood loser like that dead woodchuck as a TOTALLY OBVIOUS ALLEGORY to me on the last day of my Year of Lazy. I'm not succeeding. Twenty three, though self-indulgent and unproductive in nearly every way, was also one of my top three years. Maybe I'm a pessimist to approach twenty four with such obvious ill-ease. I mean, what's wrong with me that I find each successive birthday exponentially more unappealing?

this morning while eating the remnents of my cheesecake (I went and got it last night because i had like 7 points left. ahha.) sunny started meowing, which he rarely does. we look up at the ceiling and there's as giant bug up there. i got my dustpan brush out, stood on a chair, and smacked the bug... and now i don't know where he is. o_O i'm hoping sunny finds him and eats him like he did with the last one.
i wrote 6 pages of my paper. 2 to go. then off to nj. |

well if you liked the 6th harry potter book, i think you'd like the movie. to me only one thing happened in that book is dumbledore dying. aaand the same thought with the movie.
i kept on schedule fabulously today. i went to the gym, got my hair cut (i didnt chop it off, it's 3-4 inches past my collarbone and a completely normal, bordering on boring style. the stylist was sweet though. went a bit too short on the bangs :) and instead of going to the farmer's market, i did my mall walk and searched for sofft shoes at nordstrom's rack at my mom's request. i found like 3 pairs and sent her pictures on my phone and everything and she was like ehh no. then i got some spanx and some workout pants and.... afewthingsatlush *cough cough. i know i know i buy a lot of shit but i never use a credit card and never spend out of my means, unlike 80 percent of this stupid country.
oh and ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) shiningstar55, the free coldstone was because the last time i went there the ice cream was like, rubbery. and gross. so my mom went online and complained (she was with me) and they sent her 2 free ice cream card thingies, which she gave to me. they're only good for the coldstone near me. the texture of the ice cream yesterday was ok but the taste of it... eh. i didn't eat a lot of it.
i yelled at the starbucks girl by accident. i still feel bad about it. that whole 2 dollar drink after 2 dollars thing is very ambiguous on the reciept. i thought i got a free drink that cost 2 dollars or less, not a free cold drink FOR 2 dollars.
when i went to the gym i wore my old gym shorts from high school, which is not unusual. what was unusual is that i wore them right below my belly button and i had no muffin top on the sides, which i used to have with those shorts. like 2 weeks ago. i've been cooking my food, aka veggies and some kind of meat/fish and i think that's really helping me. one meal a day of not bread and cheese is good for you, apparently. hah.
tomorrow: off to watch daddy race! |

okay here is my schedule for the next few days. i think if i write it down i might actually do it. hah.
( nothing interesting besides im going to see harry potter tonight and im getting free iced cream. also possibly visiting old navy and/or anne taylor loft )
i put on some pants today i got 2 years ago. they don't fit quite as perfectly as i remembered, but they definitely still fit; i'd wager a 3 pound difference. they're a little short though, which they've always been. this is only the second time i've worn them.
i read a really cool article in my new national geographic on venice. not only is it sinking but the residents are fleeing because of tourists. they're kindof destroying the beauty of the city.
still looking for haircut suggestions, people |

i have a job interview next week o_O saweet.
finished a shit ton of stuff for grad class. also figured out what my final paper is going to be on.
someone needs to figure out a haircut for me by thursday, you should post pictures. i either want to chop it all off into some cool shaggy thing or keep the length and clean it up. i need input.
mom thought i was dead because i didn't answer my phone for almost 24 hours. she sent a maintenance worker over to check on me.
crap, i have to get gas before therapy. time to go!Current Mood: frazzled Current Music: what not to wear |

okay i THINK this is everyone coming to my bday bash thing...
teh janchan with possible +1
iris
lily (asian invasion!)
brian + gf
possibly sarah lovie
summer
sunny (haha)
krystal might stop by too...
i think that's it.
saw bruno last night with sarah lovie. dear lord that movie was awkward... had a good dinner with the 'rents though. i had scallops and salad and green beans and broccoli. i need to eat less cheese and bread.
research for grad class is going okay. i've gotten to the point where most of the new things i find have information i've already read. i'm gonna read this book i snagged from the free book table at towson (just a few essays) and then i think i'm done.
things done today:
go to the gym
shower
1 hour of research
playing with sunny
things left to do:
visit TJs (and buy no bread!)
possible dinner preparation (not even close to hungry, had a giant sandwich an hour ago. only 7 points, shabam!)
clean bathroom sink
change sheets
oh and by the way as soon as i knew i had to save my money i seem to just spend it. althoguh i found this great website of super cheap shoes but they don't look cheap. aand i got a pair. and i booked a haircut for thursday. with a blowdry. but i should be getting a check soon from my insurance company for... 6-7 hundred dollars. woot.
btw did you know that 'stressed' is 'desserts' spelled backwards? that is awesome. hah.Current Mood:  full Current Music: animal precinct. i'm quickly becoming addicted to animal planet |

last night with the kittehs we had like 7 kittens. one of them was a runt and she reminds me of toby. 5 cats went home today, which i think is awesome.
watching miami animal police again and there was someone randomly brutally killing livestock and leaving everything but the meat on the side of the road. definitely not humane.
i'm very excited at the idea of working at a vet's office.
there's a shit ton of stuff on standardized testing, lemme tell you. although some of the research i'm finding (for my grad class research paper) is kindof funny. russia just tried to do standardized testing in their high schools and there was a big protest in front of their education ministry. no one seems to do standardized tests in high school besides the US. oh and when polled, the public said their biggest problem with standardized tests was not getting the results to students fast enough so they know what they need to improve. which basically has nothing to do with standardized testing and just shows that if you're not really an expert on something or in the field you have no effing clue what you're talking about.
i've exercised.... 3 times this week. maybe 4. wanted to do it again today but my back hurts and i'm driving to visit sarahisdope and have dinner with the 'rents. i think we're going to see bruno, which i'm excited about because i like 'gay' humor. with sarah, not with my parents. hah.
should probably take a shower now. let's see if i can find my little mr clean magic eraser and i can clean my shower while i'm at it...Current Music: miami animal police |

okay why do people answer their cell phones on exercise equuipment? cause this stupid girl was on an eliptical for at least a half an hour and she was on the phone for at least half that time. i used the one next to her after 25 pointless minutes on a stationary bike.
also, one of my classmates already hates me, i think. our book said that intellectual debate was a good way to come to new decisions which you know me, i took advantage of. this one woman kept quipping at me and at one point definitely mocked me in front of the rest of the group but i let it slide. i told them that ' this is what the book told us to do! ' and the teacher was right there and he was like 'excellent connection!' and he thought it was awesome. hah.
and i got on tv today. the local news station sent someone to do a story on summer school at towson and there was this random 5 second close-up of my face. like, super close up. weird.Current Music: tivoed daily show. i like the new girl correspondent |

( distraction salsa ahoy! )
it was a bad idea for me to buy brie. i got some that like melts in your mouf from trader joe's and i've already eaten at least a serving with pretzl thins. now sunny is licking the knife, he effing loves dairy.
i had my first day of my grad class today, which seems pretty good. my professor taught in china for 5 years and there's 5 art teachers in the class out of about 20, which i think is really cool. also 2 semi-cute guys, which never happens. although the damn book was almost 100 dollars. and it's a paperback.
mayyybe time for a mall walk. i have like 3 hours till it closes and what the hell else am i doing :PCurrent Music: what not to wear |

i just realized i'm screwing up all my exercise with all my eating. haha.
yesterday i ate:
a bowl of cereal (4 points?)
a granola bar (3 points)
a hot dog (6 points)
a choco taco (lord only knows)
a giant quesadilla (25? ugh)
a more giant frozen margarita (45? hah.)
4 hours of walking is at most 10 points. i might be okay if i didn't eat a lot of flex points this week but i haven't been keeping track of that either.
today i've eaten
frozen pizza (11)
chinese fooood (what i've eaten so far is probably about 10 points)
i'm going to the gym at like 7.
im thinking a lot about yesterday. i'm glad i didn't make the same mistake with allison that i made with my friend jeff. hooking up with your friends' friends when you have very little time with them and your real friend will feel awkward is not good. there's still some inappropriate texting going on but for once i'm trying to keep some goddamn mystery about me. but allison means too much to me to do anything anyway.
wow, it's almost 5 in the evening and i've done an amazing job of doing absolutely nothing today. i got out of bed around noon, wasn't even hungry till 1 and then was still hungry after so i waited 3 hours and got the afforementioned chinese food. i think i'll go to the gym and... do something else. don't know what, but something. maybe i'll wait till tomorrow to go to the gym... and i feel okay saying that because i've actually been exercising consistently and i want to keep doing that.
australia's next top model is down to their final 2. this one girl, besides her teeth being a little hillary duff pre freakish weightloss and veneers, is so gorgeous and the other girl is such a little brat with a horrible walk and stick legs. i'm starting to think the girl that wins these top model competitions is the girl who couldn't actually get a modeling contract on her own. (by the way, the gorgeous girl's name is tahnee, which i think is such a beautiful name. and yet i hate the name 'tawney' because it sounds like a stripper. interesting.)
i think i'm gonna take a nap. maybe check movie times. hopefully go to the gym. |
