I am so hyped up right now. Generally when I blame my frenzy on energy drinks I dont actually believe it but tonight I tried Rockstar roasted, which is Rockstars release of the realization that Monsters coffee line took over all energy drinks within three and a half seconds. I cant stop being awake.
I have been working out lately and its really quite nice. I feel better and my woman hips are starting to dwindle slightly. According to my scale three hours ago I have lost 4.4 pounds since the new year which leaves me with 7.6 left to go until Valentines Day. Vader and I have begun a bet. A good one. We decided that as a gift to each other for Valentines Day we would go to Vegas. Woo Vegas! And then we both decided that we were not in the best shape ever and could certainly look better. I think I could look better by 12 pounds, and he 20. So those were/are our goals. But really, why reach them? In such along-term relationship who do we have to impress these days anyways? As long as one or the both of us doesn't complain we're cool, so some stakes had to be laid. [back to Vegas] We plan to go to Vegas from the 12th to the 14th. so half tuesday, all wednesday and thursday and half friday. Thursday being Valentines Day. To pay for this endeavor we placed a bet on our weight loss. Whoever reaches their goal only has to pay for Wednesday. Theh loser has the burden and expense of dinner and activities on Valentines day and tuesday night/friday morning. The winnner decides a new and interesting thing to do on Tuesday and the rest of their time is pure leisure. I am excited, and winning so far I think.
I am going to contact Meerkat, who is Bks ex-boyfriends childhood best friend who also lives in Vegas to find out something like, real cool that tourists would never think to do and maybe only locals know about. And this is real specific but Im thinking like a candy factory where we can go and gorge in celebration of losing weight :) I would also like a midday massage in the room and maybe I will acquire a fake by then and it can be a total suprise. O what fun!
I think Desiree and Vanessa (the lesbian couple from my work) will also be celebrating valentines day in vegas so maybe we will do a little something with them.
There are two lesbian couples at Daves. Irene and MOnica, who are in their early thirties, and Vanessa and Desiree who will both be twenty one as of the twenty second of january. Today I talked to Desiree and Irene for like three hours about lesbian everything. lesbian clubs, bars, socialization, sex, courtship, mating rituals, the whole shebang. It was so much fun. Desiree brought up that she discovered that she was gay by casually kissing her girl friends at parties, you know, like everyone does. And it made me wonder if I have ever kissed a lesbian. Or like a girl that meant in way more than me. If so, I hope that I made her day.
I went out to lunch with Briana today. That was nice. I like her a lot. And she is one of the very few. We talked about life and hardships and almost exclusivley shitty things, but it was kind of nice to have someone to go out with and talk to about that kind of stuff. It was also a slght relief to go out with someone in the middle of the day with no intention of drinking and dealing with drunkeness of any kind.
This break hasnt been nearly as full of intoxication for me as my past breaks have been. New Years was a real blast and i was happy to be with everyone that I was with. I took a cab for my first time ever, like a real cab. i dont count cabs in Mexico or Vegas. It was exciting. And then two nights ago I got highly intoxicated at Majerles and talked to one of the cooks from the Keg, (whos second language is quite obviously englsh) about the pointlessness and disapointment that marriage involves. I took a cab that night too. I liek cabs. I feel responsible using them also.
Have you ever seen Arrested Developement? Solid show. SOlid. And funny on a level that I have never seen before in a television sitcome. I really enjoy it and on DVD each episode is only like 20 minutes so when I sit down with the intenetion of watching one or two episodes I somehow watch five or six because I dont realize how long I have been sitting there. Its the same ocncept of books being easier and quicker to read when the chapters are shorter.
I need to read The Audacity of Hope. I have only gotten through the first two sections and I think Obama is a genius. And not the crazy kind like Einstein that you have to learn about in history, but the real-life kind that really sees life for what it is. Like Michael Scoffeild from Prison Break. Have you seen Prison Break? Its awesome. Solid show as well. I am more than pleased to see that he is winning in the race to president and I am twice as pleased that Clinton cried a little bit when she realized that she was no longer the forerunner because in doing so she REALLY lost her lead. Like REALLY. And i am suprised that Huckabee is doing so well. O well, I suppose? I enjoy being into politics. I like watching C span and I like knowledgably debating with people abotut politics, especially when they begin the debate with no knowledge or backing.
I am getting a guinea pig. I am so thrilled. I love guinea pigs. She will be my new best friend. I am definately getting a girl. I met a very gorgeous guinea pig today at pets mart. she is half grey and half white and if she ends up being the one I will name her Maybe. (Watch Arrested Developement). But tomorrow I iwill finish my quest in searching pet cos and petsmarts far and wide for the perfect pick. I only have three more stops.
Did you know that youre not allowed to take pictures of ANYTHING in petco? Like NOTHING. I took a picture of a guinea pig that I quite fancied today and then a sign that had the name of a vetrinarian for guinea pigs and a associate walked up to me and told me that she needed to look at my archive of photos in my phone and then watch me delete every one. Including the picture of the name of the vetrinarian. DUMB.
I am progressively beginning to enjoy/despise my job more and more each day. I really cant decide. Its slow and the clientelle is the entire reason for my extreme racism and lack in faith toward people and their kindness towards others. But I am also beginning to like the people that I work with a lot more. And althogh restaurnant employees have a reputation and stigma attached to them of being irresponsible addicts, most everyone I work with is more responsible in life and with their recreation drug and alcohol abuse then any of my friends.
I need a new friend base. I am starting all new.
I think my schedule next semester is inspiring. I am taking dance, in rwal life (latin/salsa) and intro to dance online. As well as hip hop online, principles of sound reasoning, marriage and courtship with my favprite professor and environmental design, which if you know what that is please let me know, because I have no idea but I heard it was east :). All I need to do is raise my GPA and I will get another 6000 dollar check in the mail to keep me in school. I cant imagine not being in school. Whatta a total bummer. I couldnt handle it.
I need to sleep. I am not tired at all. I have to clean Mikes bathroom tomorrow. I need to get my computer fixed and my house clean. i need to start using the digital camera that I wanted so badly. I need to sleep.
To everyone that is reading this that I havent been able to see or enjoy in a long time, I miss you. Just so you know,
Good night.
