Happy Earth Day! I just got back from an outing that involved walking jauntily to the peppy chords of Panic a la Disco up and down the riverside, along this beautiful walking path. I am so sweaty and gross and gleeful now. YAY SPRING! I'd like to think I can make myself do this every day, but part of me knows better, and that is the part that recognizes I am a lazy bum. A lazy bum who loves reading.
Tulsa has a bike-share program, which I have been researching recently, and I would really love to participate, but I'd need to buy a helmet first, and when I went in to do a quick price-check on them, I found they ranged $90-$159, which is more than I am willing to pay, considering I am only here for two more weeks. :-(
I have two major life goals right now, neither of which is being properly addressed, much less met: 1) Learn Italian, and 2) Get in shape. Bellydancing tonight, to help with #2, and I would say a trip to the pool for water aerobics, but I can already feel the lazy bum in me starting to surface, and I have fic open in a tab, so...perhaps tomorrow. Is there any way to keep myself on track about this? Workout buddies? Daily journal? Delicious nonfat treats?
The second part of my outing, speaking of treats, was a trip to Whole Foods. I would read thousands and thousands of words of bandom Whole Foods AU. Thousands. It would be filled with descriptions of all of the delicious organic healthy food available and would basically be pages upon pages of food porn, because that is how I feel every time I go there. It is impossible for me to walk out of there without bringing out the debit card, alas, but omg, so good. Feel free to tell me all about the adventures of bandom in Whole Foods in the comments, along with your favourite newly-discovered healthy treat. I am totally listening.
I also met a very nice deli boy who gave me a sample of the Bali BBQ tofu salad (OM NOM NOM) and found me wandering around in the organic chocolate aisle a while later, who chatted with me for a bit and then asked if he could call me sometime. I fail at sending out "lesbian!" vibes, alas. He was so sweet, too, I felt badly, but I didn't want to lead him on. He said he didn't mind and we could go out as friends, that it was just nice to meet me, but I am not that brave, so I escaped but promised to visit him and his delicious deli treats again in the near future.
I have two hours between now and when I have to leave for class. Enough time for Brendon the tiny knight to encounter his fearsome dragon? We shall see. \o/
Oh! Things I never realized before and discovered on my outing today: "Well he's a friend and we're so proud of you; your famous friend well I blew him before you, oh yeah." !!!!! Alex Kapranos, you are so dirty. I love you!
