dont document your past for all to see....
I'm not sure if I'm going to have some new readers or not after publically posting my livejournal link on Facebook and Myspace. I realized that by doing so I totally opened myself up to people reading older stuff that isnt what I would call "appropriate content." As in lots of swearing, drunk posting, emo stuff, stuff about sex, etc. It used to be an outlet for me and my college buddies to whine about life and whatnot.
I dont have time to go all the way back through my journal and censor it, or switch questionable entries to "friends only." SO! If you come accross an old entry and it makes your jaw drop, please remember that at the time I was like 19 or 20 and an idiot.
I'm pretty proud of the fact that I have been using this livejournal consistently since 2004. Pretty much my whole adult life is documented on this thing. Pretty cool, eh?
In other news, ever since my wonderful employers started blocking the websites I normally visit, I've been checking out failblog.org a lot. It's really once of the only websites that makes me laugh out loud at my desk. I better not laugh too loudly or else they'll block that too. The other site I came accross today was thisiswhyyou'refat.com. All I can say is that I'm very grateful that I dont own a deep fryer.
Marc and I are in the middle of a Star Wars marathon. it's pretty amazing. I love Star Wars. Right now we're on Attack of the Clones. Man, Euan McGregor is a great Obi Wan. Would it be nerdy if I named my son "Anakin" (if I ever had one)? I think it would be pretty badass.
My runs have been impressive, and I'm not talking about pooping. Not THOSE runs! Last Thursday I completed a 7 mile run in 77 minutes (yeah, pretty slow). Monday I ran 4.25 miles in 45 minutes. And yesterday I completed a 5.15 mile run in 55 minutes. The last two runs were on a treadmill so I knew my pace. I'm really trying to run faster than 11 minute miles but gosh darnit its hard. 11 minute miles. Thats SO slow. I feel gross saying that. The Soldier Field 10 mile race is in exactly a month. I think I'm ready. The weight stil isnt changing. I cant get below 128. 128 is a good day too. Most days its like 130-131. Ugh. I want to be 125. losing three or four pounds is so hard for a person who doesnt have much to lose. AGAIN, I'm talking as an athlete, not a young woman.
Speaking of being a young woman...I am NOW talking as a young woman. I see crow's feet. They're on my eyes. I squint a lot at my computer because the new image storing system we have always causes me to have to zoom in to read anything. Your first reaction before zooming in is always to squint. The crows feet are very very very small, but I notice them. How depressing. At least the acne is gone. Maybe I've always had them but the acne took away my attention.
Marc also pointed to his head where there is a slight thinning section. NO, I tell him. STOP THAT, you're supposed to just go grey, not lose hair. Or else my dream of having an Anderson Cooper look-alike will be squashed. Actually, I hardly notice the spot in question he's referring to, so who knows....
Last night I felt like I got too much sleep. Today I'm working 'till 6pm so I got into the office at 9:30. I'm not supposed to wake up until like 7:30 on those days but I woke up at 6 and kept tossing a turning. I'm glad I actually go to bed around 10 these days. One of the many reasons why I have my hubby back....
