she's wearing her Tuesday underpants on a Monday afternoon

I cannot stop listening to Metro Station. I've tried switching my iPod to other artists, but somehow I keep finding my way back to the same album. Over and over and over and over again. I like the way they draw out 'girl' into two syllables in "Tell Me What to Do". Even when I'm not listening to them they're in my head. This is more than

DUDE - Shake It is like a fucking Ear Worm. Seriously - make them STOP.

I KNOW! They're insidious. My sister swears, based on my nephew's ability to watch the same episode a dozen times in a row, that Hannah Montana has addictive properties. Perhaps her brother has sprinkled some of that action into his music.

I guess this means I should finish the book once I get it back. Heh. If you're cool with it, though, then it should be okay for me too. Glad it's turning out good.

As for the 51 lbs lost, I totally gasped. That is so, so awesome. Go you! *throws sparkly confetti* (As for me, the trainer realized today that she hadn't taken my measurements since mid-April, so we're doing that on Wednesday. I am nervous, as I weighed myself on the gym scale today and there's no weight change from my initial weight (well, it's actually 1 lb above what she first weighed me in at). But there has to be some other changes because I know I've been gaining muscle, so I've got to be losing fat. Still: me = nervous.)

When you're in the mood for it, you should definitely read it. I should be done in time to return it to you this month.

Also, thanks. I am kind of shell-shocked by the number 51, but that's not even halfway, so. Guess I better get used to it! Though I have no idea what I'll do when the pants I'm in now are too big; I can't afford to keep replacing my wardrobe.

I bet you've lost some inches just from building muscle. It makes a big difference.

That's the kind of shell-shocked that's nice to feel, though. *grins* The pants, though - that's an issue I understand. I guess wear ones that are baggy and just buy a couple pairs in the new size somewhere inexpensive (Wal-Mart?). At least it's better than needing to get bigger pants, right?

I hope so.

I am going to hit up Goodwill when I get down another size, since that will be my first 'normal' size (though I was in college last time I was that size, and normal sizes only went up to 14 then. The times, they do change). Hopefully I can make it through the transition with second hand clothes to save some money.

I definitely know how you feel. I went through an Alexz Johnson phase (main actress in the show Instant Star on The N) for a while. It's a vicious cycle that keeps you listening despite the major humiliation factor. So what do you do when you're listening to a kind of music that everyone else would mock you for? You ROCK it.

That book about the Holocaust sounds very interesting. How did you come across it?

[carolinecrane]

I borrowed it from a friend; I can't remember why she said she bought it. It's really good, though.

I am owning my Metro Station addiction. It's totally embarrassing, but that doesn't stop me from listening with the car windows down, or shaking my head to the music as I walk down the street. (Humiliating!)

[ruggerdavey]

I can't remember why she said she bought it

I got a collection of interesting books when I went on a teacher professional development at the Holocaust Memorial Museum in DC.

[carolinecrane]

I thought it was from the Holocaust museum, but I couldn't remember for sure.

Yay for reaching the fifty pound mark! I give you the raised arms of joy... \0/

My reading seems to go in spurts. I'll read everything I can get my hands on for weeks (yes, sometimes months) at a time, then read nothing for almost equally as long. But I buy (and keep forever) all the books...I've never even walked into the library here. Does that mean I'll go to hell???

[carolinecrane]

On the one hand, yeah, libraries are great, they promote literacy and equal access, yadda yadda. But as an aspiring writer, I'm all for people buying books, you know? So I'm okay with you not being a library user. : )

Confession time? I'm completely obsessed with Miley's music. Miley or Hannah, I love it. I have four Hannah songs and five Miley songs on my iPod and I've seen the 3D concert (with my not!kid, granted). I have been known to bop around the pub, setting up the bar before we open, to 'Rockstar' and we get 'See You Again' on the digital channel played in the pub. It's slightly scary, but I freaking love her.

Also, yay you for 51 pounds!!!!! *sends mucho love*

[carolinecrane]

Ahahahaha. That is slightly more embarrassing than my Metro Station addiction. But you're cuter than me, so you can pull it off ; )
