2 to the 6

• So today I turn 26. And now I can finally be a teenager.*
• There's a weird numerology happening today...perhaps it is indicative of a good year ahead. I'd take it. ;) Although the second half of being 25 was awesome.
• Today also my pal Beck turns 39...geez he's almost 40!
• Mark got me addicted to Black Moth Super Rainbow. Love it.
  
• I take the GRE yet again on July 17...and I have the most dull vocabulary book ever made to work on. I need to practice writing some also...ugh. Plus I gotta get the application process rolling. Oh help.
• Still no leads on the job front. Gotta keep on tryin'.
  
• I'm ready for cake. A margarita and cake.

To close, some appropriately fitting song lyrics from a song I've listened to for years:

*Tiger by Paula Cole

Where do I put this fire
This bright red feeling
This tiger lily down my mouth
He wants to grow to twenty feet tall

CHORUS:

I`ve left Bethlehem
I feel free
I`ve left the girl I was supposed to be and
Someday I`ll be born

I`m so tired of being shy
I`m not that girl anymore
I`m not that straight A anymore
Now I want to sit with my legs wide open and
Laugh so loud that the whole damn restaurant
Will turn and look at me & say
Look at the tiger jumping out of her mouth

I`ve left Bethlehem
I feel free
I`ve left the girl I was supposed to be and
Someday I`ll be born

No more sex-starved teachers
Trying to touch my as* 
I can finally be a teenager at age twenty-six
Go to hell lions, tigers, and bears
I`m not afraid of you anymore
And my fear ripped apart like fifty balloons
And I`m thrown around the room like party confetti now

I`ve left Bethlehem
I feel free
I`ve left the girl I was supposed to be and
Someday I`ll be born

Someday I`ll be born
Someday someday someday I`ll be born
Someday someday someday I`ll be born

Some People Have Fat Days...I Just Had a Fat Week

• I really let myself go this week. Eating like crap, no exercise. Time to get back on the weight loss/control train. I'm just lazy about it. But I feel like I weigh about 500 pounds.
  
• OK, so on Myspace, I was the victim of Phishing. So lesson learned...check the URL every time you log-in!
• Also on Myspace, Beck has decided to record songs from The Velvet Underground and make a sort of music video with them. Thing is, the covers suck. I don't think covering those songs are a good idea. Just leave them untouched and not butchered...I mean, it's The Velvet Underground. Beck has been ticking me off lately...first the One Foot In The Grave deal, and now this. How about working on new material!?!?
• So this past week Ed McMann (sp?), Farrah Faucet (sp?), Michael Jackson, and now Billy Mays have died. I caught a little bit of the Farrah film on TV...how profound and moving...it is so sad to see what she went through. What a tragic loss.

Anyway, hopefully this week will be better.

Super Obama!

Heck Yes

"He's Come To Save The Day!" :P

Exercise

So I was totally in a terrible mood...sluggish, unmotivated, tired, a little irritable. And I forced myself to do my exercise tape very, very reluctantly. And then a miracle happened...I got into it...and I felt better. Going into the tape I felt terrible, and now I'm a different person. I feel so much better. This alone is motivation to keep exercising. I started doing my tape again since I've been gaining weight this year...going out to eat a lot with my boyfriend. I think exercise will combat some of those extra calories.

As far as eating and food goes...it doesn't help that my dad bought a gallon of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. Usually we don't have ice cream in the house, but he has a tooth infection and it apparently helps soothe that (although the chocolate chips and cookie dough chunks probably don't help a decayed tooth). And part of me really really wants to go to the grocery store or Casey's and get candy and/or cookies and just eat like I just don't care! What is my deal?!

Hopefully the cravings will lessen with the exercise...and maybe, just maybe, willpower.

My LOL

Zip Zap Rap

Dad "Gum" It :P

I have an infection in my gums...upper left in the back, to be exact. Feeling a bit better now that I'm chillin on penicillin lol. There was one moment at the specialist's office (yeah, had to see a specialist) when he touched it I yelled "AHHH!", jumped, and threw my leg out of the chair. I apologized...he thought nothing of it. I guess when you're in the business of gum infections and root canals, your patients are gonna be jumpy when you hit the bad spot.

So today I'm going to the St. Louis Book Fair at West County Mall. I still have two books from last year I have not read. :( This year the purchases will be more health and wellness geared...I want to turn over a new leaf on that one.

Peace out.
