So, I hopped on the dog scale at work today (like the bitch I am ;D) and I weigh 135, which is about 12 pounds less than I weighed at the doctor almost a year ago.
... What made me get the urge to weigh myself was the fact that I've gone down a full cup size in the past couple of months and none of my bras fit anymore. Ih8u, boobies, don't you know bras are expensive!? I hate spending money on clothes. :(
So yeah, that's the only (ir)relevant thing I have to say. Before I got my cat bite, I had been in the middle of writing a nice long entry about a truly kickass concert that my brother and I went to in June, but now I have no idea where I put the text file for it.
It was a Secret Chiefs 3 concert at the Great American Music Hall. Yes, another Indie band my friendslist has likely never heard of.. I just realized I was listening to them during my last 2 LJ entries... Eh well! At any rate, their music is mostly an exotic blend of Indian, Persian and Arabic traditional, with a bit of death metal and surf rock thrown in for good measure. I went to the concert hoping they would play one of 3 songs, and they played ALL of them. I'd consider that pretty awesome considering they have 8 albums out. And I love YouTube for having all of said songs, though not the smooth studio versions...
RenunciationThe 4 (Great Ishraqi Sun)Bereshith At any rate, I had a seat on the balcony directly above and to the right of the stage, which was quite nice. And as I was kicking back and sipping a Long Island Iced Tea there, at a great old venue in the heart of San Francisco, I felt grown-up. It may sound silly coming from a 26 year old, but I so rarely feel like I'm acting my age. I'm under the impression that the way I act is more befitting of a 15-16 year old, and at any given time, I feel like my emotional age is somewhere between 8 and 10. So that was indeed a refreshing experience.
Aside from that, I'm tackling a lot of anxiety right now (my dad recently had a 3rd spinal fusion surgery, Michael lost one of his two jobs, and my boss keeps piling more work on me while criticizing my existing work without fail, and I'm having anxiety dreams that disrupt my sleep, among other things) but I've been rather high-functioning as of late. I continue to have very little of a real life to speak of (which irritates me,) but I'm loving my life in the nerd-o-sphere. I just got my 5th transcendent class character on RO (a Stalker) and I'm active on some RP forums...? Ha. Haha.
Love and bottle rockets!
