Sha little brother. "Collin, you listed me as one of your best friends (on Facebook)." "Well... you are." Sha! And I'm oh so glad he has fashion sense. Or, as he puts it, he gets it, he just doesn't care. But I can ask him an opinion on an outfit, and he can actually give a good answer. I'm so proud. And he can even teach me a few things, at least as far as how guys interpret things. Like a red dress is sexier than a black dress, 'cause a black dress could just be a dress-up "little black dress" thing, but a red dress is unmistakably a "look at me" dress. Good to know.
And Collin, yes, you are the final straw that got me to actually pull up my old exercise routine last night and get started. He's been losing weight, I've been finding it, and all the things he's added to his routine I'm already doing. "You have to exercise." Well, alright then. And ugh, I'm out of shape. But I'm only starting, right? Of course, it doesn't hurt to have a couple of guys worth slimming down for, and a box full of warm weather clothes from last year that don't quite fit at the moment... No rush though; the weather is still doing crazy things: high in the 70s today, snow in the forecast tomorrow. So I've still got some winter clothes out on reserve. Speaking of season changes, if any of you find a nice pair of white jeans for summer, let me know, I'm in the market.
I'm still battling the lack-of-motivation bug as far as school is concerned. I'm playing hooky from work today to read the book that I've had two weeks to read. My "class" is today at 5ish, and it's just me and the prof, so I can't wing it. Wish me luck.
I'm thinking that CU-Boulder is at the top of my list for PhD school. I'd get to keep my job, I won't have to move cross-country, and I love the area. About a week ago I went to research at the library and stayed to wander around campus a bit. I love it. It reminds me of LSU in ways that DU just doesn't. The off-campus student community is much better, and I found a coffee shop that's the coffee shop I've been looking for for years. I did much journaling that day, and I might post the entry here later. Articulates my new-found attraction to Boulder in a much better way.
Boys? Oh, possibilities that might not be possibilities, perhapses that I might not want to be perhapses. Confusion? Only slightly. Food for ponderation. But until anything happens, I've still got a great bunch of guys to hang out with. (It looks like we might not be getting back to the dungeon campaign, so Cordelia the second just might have to remain in stasis indefinitely. My ninja character died, but it was time - she was maggot-infested, and consistently lived up to her title of "worst ninja ever." But now I get to play a sexy pirate who isn't from this oriental world, which is good, because I know next to nothing about how to play in the orient, especially the ancient orient. Still, the DM is somewhere between arbitrary and insane, so who know how he'll try to kill me next.)
Sorry for the digression. But no worries, I'm off. Burke's "Reflections on the Revolution in France." Woo. Hoo.
