Writer's Block: Life of the Party

I love, love, love kicking myself in the face. I think it is pretty hilarious personally, but it does get a wide range of reactions. If the mood is right, I can do the human pretzel trick too.

Rambling about pants...

To make myself feel a bit better about being a fatty all weekend, I just decided to try on a pair if jeans that I bought for $10 on Wednesday. They buttoned easier than I remembered them buttoning in the fitting room, which made me feel better. And just sliding on a pair of size 5 jeans makes me feel amazing. I never thought I would be able to go into the store, grab a pair of size 5's off the rack, and be able to wear them ever again. It hasn't happened since I was like 16.

I'm in them right now though. I haven't been able to make myself take off the tag, because I love looking down, and seeing that little number. A 5. A little, tiny 5. Not a big fat 13, a 5. That is like an 8 size difference! It's funny, because the last time I was a size 5, I weighed a lot less than I do even now. But when I think about it, I'm at least 3 inches taller than I was then.

I still remember my favorite pair of size jeans. I got them on clearance at Bob's. They were a dark blue, with huge bell bottoms that had cargo pockets at the bottom. They were great. I wore them a lot my first summer in Missouri. When I got too fat to fit into them, I was so upset. I ripped them up because I didn't want to admit that I couldn't fit into them anymore. I really never thought that I would fit into pants this small again. I feel like I showed bow down to Myke and worship his personal training goodness. I really don't have the money to waste on personal training but it is so worth it to me. 5 months ago, I would have (if I could have) paid a million dollars to wear a size 5 again.

And if I keep this up, if I can drop down to a size three, I can trade pants with Cameron. Teeny, tiny Cameron. We're totally different builds, but we could wear the same size pants some day. Anyway, it just made me so happy to be wearing these that I had to share.

So apparently I've been showing up in everyone's dreams of late. In the last week or so people have told me about the weird things I've been doing in their dreams and it is just kind of funny. I feel like a dream stalker or something lol.

Oh today is so much better than yesterday. I think a lot of people I knew had shitty days yesterday. I blame it on it being Monday.

I need a Proto icon. He is a silly cat. Or maybe one with Proto and Rocky for silly cat things.

I did homework on time and fully today. Already. It was due at noon and I got it in at 11:57. I rock like that. I have class tonight too. I'm all for a good day today.

Did anyone else happen to catch this: journalstar.com/articles/2008/12/13/news/local/doc4942c95fa06bc553104199.txt?

Hehe, and University of Nebraska has been trying to get me to apply to their grad program too...

I'm really glad that Obama won. I am amazed that it happened in all honesty. I didn't have enough faith in the country that they could do this. It gives me hope that maybe America can make some of the changes we need.

Hehe, and Diane texted me like 2 seconds ago to tell me she heard it too. At least my old friends still think of me sometimes.

They made fun of Danbury on Robot Chicken once too.

Of course, I make fun of Danbury all the time.. It's weird to hear it mentioned on TV though.

This sounds like fun, so I stole it from griptiger

Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don't blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post about it. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, thoughts on religion, favorite type of underwear, random techniques, etc. Repost in your own journal so that we can all learn more about each other!

So, uh, go for it kids!

YAY PATRIOTS!!!!

It has been snowing all day. It isn't really sticking to the ground, but damn, it is frustrating. I am so not ready for winter.

It took me 7 hours, but I've finished the book.

They're serious when they tell you to read it with a box of tissues. I don't think a book has ever made me cry so much.

Thats all I'm going to say though. WHY ARE YOU READING THIS?!?! GO FINISH THE BOOK!!!!!
