I'm gonna kidnap you in the summetime.
I always feel slightly relieved when I leave North Attleboro. Here, you see, I'm subject to alot of the more dangerous vices; I drink, I smoke, I gamble, and I eat. Granted it's soda I've been drinking, but that shit is really bad for you. I gamble anywhere- that's a lifestyle choice. Smoking, well, it just messes up my cigarette:sex ratio for 2005 (I'm behind again, dammit, which is an awful sign for someone who hasn't smoked the equivalent of a full pack in their life), but eating is the real issue. Ice cream almost every night, cookies constantly. Munching on hams, cheeses, rehydrated dried peaches and apricots by the handful; all in addition to three ovular (to be accurate) meals a day. And of course I don't get enough exercise here. Despite the occasional trip to play volleyball or disc, despite the semi-regular yoga/japanese pushup session, it's impossible to keep up with the calories as they come in. As this became a very Christian household within the past couple years, certain "normal" behaviors became off-limits. The last girl I wanted to invite to spend the night had to share the backseat of my car instead of the alternative of sleeping in the opposite corner of the house from me, reducing the athletic component of our tryst to a few basic standards.
As I said, it'll be a relief when, in a few hours, I head back down to Connecticut for the weekend before impressing myself upon im_sooo_crazy and even_tracy for several months (possibly years), with perhaps a brief stopover in or around NYC.
Truthfully, though (as I was just informed that my entire family reads my livejournal regularly, CREEPY!), this was almost as successful a first 10 days as I could have hoped. Not only did I finally secure the Integra, I multiplied my original PartyPoker bankroll (after removing most of it to send a significant check for the car) over seven times in 30 hours of play. I saw a few baseball games, played volleyball an entire night, met a couple cool people from teh Internetz and crossed a couple more flaky ones off my "to see" list. I added some new recipes to my repertoire (and enjoyed the proceeds of some fine home cookin') and finished an Al Franken book (85% abyssmally cringe-inducing and 10% hilarious: something I'm happy to have done and will never EVER do again).
As I head out the door: anyone in NYC or the GNYMA should call or text me if you're available Sunday, anyone remotely close to Reading, PA in the next couple weeks should do the same, and Justin, I need your mother's address to send her a card for Mother's Day.
