how it all became an anchor.
so we sort of have a television now (um, it only took us about a year to get one...we're great people!) only we don't really have a television because we get no reception. but it has a vcr in it so we use it to watch videotapes. you know what i mean. those rectangular things from the 80s that aren't digital? and they're magnetic. so yesterday we made people come over to our house and watch videos (human nature! wheeee!!!) while alison and i bleached our hair. sort of. alison had some bleach left over so i used it to put a streak in my hair (which i was planning on dying pink except maybe i won't because having never bleached my hair before i had no clue what i was doing ad it went on uneven and now it looks really awesome) and now i look sort of like rayanne graff. totally pleased with myself! then we went to the beach which turned out to be kind of dumb because the water was f-r-e-e-z-i-n-g but we pretended to be brave anyway but actually it was pretty miserable.
so i an having mixed feelings about this whole roadtrip this weekend. on the one hand, the whole idea is pretty freakin boss. on the other hand, ninety miles is a long way to bike. on the other other hand, i did explain to my mom last night (who acted like she was qualified to give me biking advice when, like, i'm sure she hasn't been on a bicycle since 1987 and even then she just used to ride a couple miles to work) that when i used to bike from her house to em's and then back home, that was at least fifty miles. and it only took a couple of hours. and, you know, how i bike about twenty miles everyday. at least. but! on the otherotherotherotherother hand, being in milwaukee this weekend means not getting to see doctor who until i get back! aaaahhhhh! the suspense will kill me!
this woman whose dogs i walk always acts surprised that i ride a bike around all the time. and she always tells me "you're going to waste away to nothing!" this makes me uncomfortable because i'm not sure if i'm supposed to take this as a compliment or as an indication that i appear malnourished. also because i don't think i am that thin (and i know i gained a shit ton of weight over the winter because all i did was eat. instead of turning up the thermostat when i was cold, i would cook something) which leads me to wonder if i have a distorted self image and am probably just really unhealthy and and going to develop an eating disorder or something.
ugh. time to wash my face for the 35687908675th time today! ew, i feel so greasy in the summer. maybe i will just take a shower. i probably smell bad too.
