London

Today, just for a split second , I felt like I see Bush’s POV and maybe he is right in his bible thumping good vs evil analogy and that scares me. Reading about the london bombings today made me feel sick to my stomach. Why should all these innocent people die unnecessarily? What have they done thats wrong. Overall its just a bunch of normal people trying to go to work and live their lives to the best of their ability , only to be pawns in a ideological war that they don’t understand. Its hard to be objective, when you feel like you are trying to do the right thing i.e not supporting an evil, imperialist govt, but your life and your loved one’s lives maybe in danger anytime. In a weird way, this is more depressing to me than Sep 11 on some levels. 9/11 was horrifying and shocking, London is just making me weary. When will this stop. Is this the world we have inherited and we the one we will pass on. I can only focus on pessimism and death today, but sometimes it seems like thats the only thing thats real.

Break Ups

Maybe NG should have read “He’s not that into you” Not that I think that book is relevant , but maybe she could have picked something up from it.

I feel bad for NG, but at the same time, its the same stuff I feel for J, I am not anyone’s mother, I can’t “do” things for them.

Will feel like a bitch all night and haven’t even done anything wrong.

Happy Birthday to my Grandpa

Life, Love

Happiness!

J told me he read somewhere that “All it takes to be happy is work and love” In vii n’th grade, I proclaimed “Happiness is a state of mind, not a physical place!”

Back to Basics. Do I need a place (marriage) or can I coast along and be happy. Blah, why did I start asking questions that I don’t know the answers to, Life gets too complicated, but it would be boring otherwise.

Friends, Life

4th of July!

Friday: Will wait for Internet installation, might go with RS to Wimpys and get me some biscuits. J is out cuz he gets a free lunch! Mooch 🙂

Saturday: Eddie from Ohio at the Eno River Festival; also just hanging out and doing kid crafts. I love doing crafts at fairs and festivals,expecially the super easy ones. And now that I have a bare apt, it will be nice to have random shit

Sunday: J and I are going on a date to see Batman Begins and eat some Food Court lunch. I think we are trying to relieve Junior High dating days.

Monday: Maybe see fireworks at th Durham Bull’s stadium, but I have never paid for 4th of July fireworks before, so I don’t know how I feel about that. Maybe we can find another spot in Durham county thats free. I’m sure beer will be involved.

I think Beer is the official drink of the USA. This is my realization about this country on yet another Independence Day.

Exercise

Weight Loss


I have issues with this…..

Signs of my unhealthy relationship to my weight:
1) Lately I ‘ve wanted to smoke a lot, because of the nicotine buzz and also cuz I feel full and don’t want to eat.

2) I’ve been killing Nicotine cravings with caffeine…especially coffee, so essentially I am getting the same result.

3) I hate to say this, but I kinda like Nicole Richie’s gaunt look.

4) Deep down I do believe, if I was skinnier bad things wouldn’t happen to me and people would like/love me more

Signs of my healthy relationship with my weight

1) I know I can’t lose weight long term through a diet, it has to be a lifestyle change

2) My goal body is Salma Hayek , which matches my body shape

3) When I exercise consistently, I do feel healthier and happier

4) I know being skinny is not the key to real happiness

5) I am starting a weight loss goal, with the help of KD, Ms. Supermotivator

Goal: Lose 2lbs a week
The Plan: Starting tomorrow, heavy dieting, atleast for a little, combined with 20 mins of cardio 4 times a week, either at the gym or outside.

CheckPoint: Weigh self next thursday at same time to see result and reevaluate game plan if necessary.

Top 10 toys….

Or glimpses into my geeky childhood…..

1) Barbie : Cliched, I know, but I loved my Tropical Barbie, sweetheart barbie and great date Ken. Their’s was an eternal love triangle , with great clothes. No other drama will ever come close.
2) Legos: Bright colors and stackable, nothing makes a kid happier
3) Doctor: Technically not a toy, but I did have a fake stethescope(sp?) and some other medical type stuff and I don’t know anyone who hasn’t played doctor.
4) Memory Game : It was this matching cards, board game I had and I kicked ass at it.
5) Kitchen Sets: The reason I can sorta cook now. My full set of dishes were pale green plastic, Martha Stewart would have been proud. My pots and pans and stove , etc were nicer than the ones I own now 🙂
6) Books : Books were great to play shop with, I would arrange and rearrange them to play Book store, and library and teacher. I think I mostly just like organizing them by Category, height, alphabetical etc.
7) Badminton Set:This was for when I was a little bit older and I would get to play with the older kids, I sucked, but my badminton set rocked. That is also how I found out that a cock does not mean a rooster
8) Mr. Bunny: My favorite toy from when I was a baby. It was big and brown, with big fake bulging glass eyes and little overalls and big floppy ears. He was a sweetie, but in the Barbie games, he was always Sweetheart Barbie’s Dad or Boss
9) Mini Tent : It was a pop up and I could set it up wherever I wanted and make a little house for myself.
10) Mud/Dirt: It makes you dirty, pisses your mom off and is ver versatile, can be dinner, can be weapons, can be whatever you want it to be.

Top Ten Things Other People do to piss me off!!!

1) People who are needy! I don’t have time to babysit people anymore, especially if they are my age or older. Get a hobby, keep a journal, whatever…but stop expecting me to be on the phone 5 times a day for 30 mins each. Those days are gone

2) Immaturity. I just can’t deal with this anymore. People need to grow up and learn to draw the line between acceptable and non -acceptable behavior by themselves. It is not funny to create drama, or awkward situtations, or call people out and get involved in other people’s lives simply because you can.

3) Bossy People. I don’t need anyone other than my close friends and family to give me unsolicited advice, I know what I am doing with my time, money, interests etc. I am not going to buy a microwave, not hang out with my b.f or stop going to the gym simply because someone says so. It was never acceptable to tell other people how to live their lives and its still not acceptable

4) People who have very private conversations in very public places. I do not need to know the details of people’s personal lives, while i’m working, or trying to get something done

5) People who speed in the middle of a storm. I don’t care if they want to die , but I would really like to be around for a while

6) Girls who cannot be friends with other girls. They are really strange and weird creatures in my opinion. I am so sick of girls saying things like, I get along better with boys and girls are so bitchy, etc. Well sweety, you are a girl too and i guess that makes you a bitch too.

7) People who completely morph once they are in a relationship and this is true of guys and girls. I have seen too many people completely change their personality once they are in a relationship, where they no longer have their own opinions

8) People who are uptight. Laugh a little, Yeah you are an Emergency Room Doctor, but if you are getting coffee with a bunch of mere mortals like us, you can try to have a good time like the rest of us

9) People who are overly sensitive. Lets just grow up and not cry/bitch/whine/moan about everything that does not go our way shall we? There is no need to stop talking or have a big heart to heart about something that was said in jest.

10) People who need to be the center of attention all the time. If I hang out with you, I already know, how funny/smart/cool/wonderful/great you are, you don’t need to prove it constantly. I get it already!
