all the right friends in all the right places
Today, I found out that I need a knee replacement. NOT REALLY. I kind of just decided that because I got to run a cool five miles - merely a taste of the winter training to come - and died. No big. I hate how they do that to us though. They just throw us into running these epic distances. For the most part, I think I've learned to control my breathing and not freak out about it and I can actually get through a run just fine. In fact, today I finished before two of my varsity teammates and then like, six of the novies. It's the aftermath that really blows hard though. My calves become rigid and I basically lose my ability to walk like a normal human being. Also, this time, my left kneecap decided it was time to head off to fucking Swaziland and elope or something which inhibits my walking ability 64 times more.
In other non-crew-related news, I am four classes, one practice, and two lifts away from the Thanksgiving break. Hallelujah (say that one out loud for me Mollie). I am so delighted to head home, look at my littenlove square in the eyeballs, reconnect with my bed... hopefully we still share that same connection... watch indescribable amounts of HGTV shows, eat quantities of food comparable to the size of a small infant (at each meal), umm... see some pretty (and not so pretty) faces (and souls). Yes, I am coming for your soul. I have no idea what I'm talking about. I'm like, madd delusional and tired.
Also, the Oxford dictionary named "unfriend" the word of the year. Oxford defines "unfriend," a verb, thusly: "To remove someone as a 'friend' on a social networking site such as Facebook." I didn't really find this surprising or anything. What I did find surprising/silly though was the debate between whether or not the verb should be to "unfriend" or to "defriend". People are really passionate about this stuff, man. The rage that some people display is so silly and over the top for no reason. Maybe I'm just bias though because I believe that "unfriend" is more widely present in my life. Perhaps if "defriend" were being named the word of the year, I would be OUTRAGED. Anyway, I just found this fascinating and thought I would share it with those of you who hadn't already heard. Which of the two words do you use/hear more frequently?
Some other things that I can't talk about or else I'll go to hell. Yeah, life is good.
