Today was "Get Off Your Lazy Ass and Do Something with Your Life" day. With school rapidly approaching, and myself having done nothing besides have fun all summer, I slapped myself in the face today. "Self," I says to myself, "Self, you ain't even gots a job." So I filled out my application for Barnes and Nobles. "And you ain't done talk to one your best friends." So I sent Andy a card from me and Lindsay hoping he feels better after his operation. Told him I miss him. "That's pirdy good," myself says to myself, "But what about college?!" I was kind of panicky because I haven't done anything for college... at all... so I went ahead and finished my application for Boston University. Wrote my essay and everything. Luckily I didn't send it, because I later found that I needed to have SAT II's. Right after I type this I'm going to sign up for a couple of them. Also, I found out the first early admissions applications aren't even due until Novemeber 1st. It feels pretty good to be ahead.
I was just starting to relax from my stressful day when my mom came down and said my NutriSystems shit was here. Now, I love ranting about how I need to lose weight and go on a diet, but I always hope later that nobody paid attention to me. Of course, my mother did. She spent tons of money on a month-long food program where they ship you all the food you can eat, you just add water. And fruit. I wasn't feeling it at all when I saw the box... it was way too small to feed me for a month. But once I started opening it, it was like Christmas. Soon I was pulling out freeze-dried chicken and powdered tuna salad like there was no tomorrow. I gotta say, it sounds gross, but this might be what I truly need. I do well with extremely structured things. Like Atkins. I could only eat meat, so it was easy. There was no, "Well, this has 30 calories, so I GUESS it's okay." It was just, eat this, shut up, lose wait. And it worked.
SO for the next 30 days I'm going to be working out 4 times a week like a good boy, and eating nothing but packaged shit and water. I'm supposed to write it all down in the book I got, but I'll keep my LJ posted with the weight I lost. Maybe.
If I were famous I could be on Celebrity Fit Club. That show seriously rocks. What is it about VH1 and kick-ass shows lately? Seriously, they passed MTV a mile ago and they keep on truckin'. First I Love the 80's, and now Rock School, Hogan Knows Best, and CFC. Thank you VH1!
A couple things before I go. I'm trying out for a band called Hollywood Blacklist. I like their tunes a lot, the only problem is that they all live in Concord. Normally I wouldn't mind but gas is going up by a quarter a day. We'll see what happens. I have been practicing a lot lately, I can truly shred. Chris Kinney would be proud.
And finally, I LOVE LINDSAY. I don't mention her as much as I should because to me, it's understood. She's always the first thing on my mind, so much so that even talking about it is like, DUH, of course I hung out with Lindsay. And it was awesome. It always is. She's the greatest girl in the world, and I'm not exaggerating.
