Exercise log:
Pulled weeds/gardened for an hour.Lifted weights: shoulders, sides and
calves day. Also did 10 minutes of abs and over half an hour reading
while walking up an incline on a treadmill (at 4mph). |
- I'm a terrible sleeper. I have trouble falling asleep because I'm
either too worried or too excited about something. Once asleep, I sleep
very lightly and wake up at the slightest noise or light change or
movement. It SUCKS! If I ever have a baby - er, when I someday have a
baby - I'm never, ever going to tiptoe around her, so she can get used to
sleeping through anything. I don't know if it will help, she'll
probably resent me for the rest of her life, but I'm not pampering her
into this sort of sleep disorder.
- I'm considered prissy by my sister,
but I don't mind pulling weeds and I get a real thrill out of camping and
being really dirty for up to a week. Maybe it's the excitement of that
shower after all the grime.
- I'm a vegetarian, but for the past year
I've added salmon and yellowtail sushi to my diet and I love it.
- I
don't quite believe in dichotomies.
- I'm moody - I cry VERY easily over
almost
anything - books, movies, unkind words. I tend to respond with sadness
before I respond with anger.
- If I do respond with anger WATCH OUT!
Once I get really, truly angry with you, I have a hard time controlling
it. If it's really bad, it'll be all I can do not to hit you. Luckily, I
rarely get so angry.
- I really wish I had more self-discipline. I'm
hoping that someday I'll be able to sit down and write all day long; maybe
that'll come with age?
- I am terrible with email. Sometimes I'll write
back immediately with long, chatty emails; sometimes I'll forget to write
back at all. Sometimes, when I want to do an especially good job on a
response to a sensitive topic or misunderstanding, that email will get put
off for weeks at a time. Often that's a good "cooling off" period, but
sometimes this comes back and burns me. I miss old-fashioned
letters.
- I'm extremely creative, but lazy.
- I fall in love so hard
that I'm frightened of it now.
- I feel empty between books, like a part
of me has stopped living.
- I'm vain. Not as vain as some, but I like
that I'm rather pretty. If this working-out thing pays off, I hope I
won't become impossible :-P
- I'm a little bit bi, but I'm ashamed of my
standards for women. Don't ever start out with a beauty queen - I mean,
where do you go from there?
- There's a new Buffy tonight and it's the
highlight of my week and I don't really think that's all *that* sad . . .
ok, a little.
- I can't stand violence; it makes me ill.
- I like sex.
Recently, I haven't been as into it as much, which is scary.
- I love
nature, the outdoors, trees and flowers . . .
- My favorite colors are
green, then blue (and combinations of the two).
- I miss dancing
half-naked around the campfire at Lothlorien.
- I have this dream of
building a self-sustaining community somewhere in Northern California. I
want to grow, spin, weave, dye and sew the cotton for our clothing. I
want to grow our own food. I want to use solar and water energy.
- The
Religious Right in this country scares the hell out of me and annoys me at
the same time.
- I grew up in a suburb of Indianapolis, Indiana. Yes, I
am a Hoosier.
- I like basketball, because of where I grew up. I like
soccer because of all the cute soccer players I smoked dope with in
college (it's fun to root on your buddies at their game). I like baseball
because of David and his willingness to talk about it ad nauseum; it
was a defense mechanism that brought me into the grace of the game.
Sigh.
- I grew up dancing and I still consider myself a good dancer.
Holly's finally better than me, though :-)
- My sister and I are so close
we have shared each other's thoughts on occasion.
- I am much more into
the women in my family than the men.
- Cat person without a cat, that's
me. It's so sad . . .
Sooo, in other news: Melissa and Jenna got
the apartment! Yay, they're gonna be walking distance!
