        <p>my (practically) daily 2.5 mile walk is sculpting my legs. my stupid lazy little 2.5 mile walk is actually shrinking my love handles and sculpting my legs. </p><p>zumba does a lot for me as well, but walking is doing something entirely new for my ankles. it must be the hills. i can&#39;t stop checking out my ankles.</p><p>but i have to enjoy it while i can because tomorrow i will wake up and feel like shit. i ate a happy meal tonight (hello wizard of oz toys) on top of what i&#39;d had earlier in the day --&#160; some american rye bread and a string cheese and strawberries and some chocolate ice cream. oh and some popcorn too.</p><p>it was a bad day ok. don&#39;t judge me.</p><p>why was it bad? well to start things off right this morning, i spilled my cup of water at winslows this morning INTO my bag. yes it literally dumped its contents, ice and lemon included, into my school bag. i was strangely unaffected for the most part. i didn&#39;t have an inner freak out as i normally would. i barely reacted at all, but i still know well enough to know that it sucked to carry around a wet bag until it decided to dry out.</p><p>in fiction, gerrard and dan and i read our goldilocks and the three bears stories. they were hysterical. i&#39;m not going to lie. the three of us are awesome like pumpkin pie. after informing gerrard that we have an assignment due in features tomorrow, i skipped off to comdoc to have my project printed. (there aren&#39;t color printers in the design lab. how retarded is that?)</p><p>the problem with comdoc is that they use ancient computers and have old women working for them. aka, they don&#39;t know SHIT.</p><p>i had to sneak around the back and come into the office to open up my adobe illustrator file, but it wouldn&#39;t even work after i&#39;d managed to open it through the correct program, so evidently i, too, am a retard. i gave in and went to design services. i really didn&#39;t want to do this, because i don&#39;t particularly like the mean orange-head that sits behind the desk. </p><p>she talks down to me.</p><p>it pisses me off.</p><p>the nice boy who was also working there today informed me that i should avoid comdoc because the people they have working there are incompetent. i then felt a little better about myself, albiet not much.</p><p>so the girl prints off my color copy and charges me 1.60 and then asks me if i would like a bag. i say yes. she sets the bag on top of my project and walks away to retrieve my flash drive without a word. evidently the right answer to &quot;would you like a bag&quot; is &quot;no.&quot;</p><p>i pause for one moment before putting the copy into the bag myself and turning to take the drive she was now holding out for me. she was not looking at me, she was speaking to her co-worker about something non-work related. i looked at her and said &quot;thank you!&quot;.... she ignored me. </p><p>i rolled my eyes and left. the end.</p><p>then i went to sit in my car to eat some animal crackers and mount the copies to the board i&#39;d prepared last night.</p><p>in class i dealt with my clingers (you know the kind i mean) and got through my presentation. he tried to get me by asking if i&#39;d changed anything (cough transparency cough) because we weren&#39;t supposed to, and I totally DID but I brushed it off and said &quot;oh no, these ones are just lighter than the rest&quot;</p><p>ha ha.</p><p>he bought it</p><p>sucker.&#160; watch i&#39;ll probably get points taken off when he examines it more closely. whatever, he said i could when i asked him.</p><p>i love being the only non-art major in an art class. it rocks.</p><p>(i lied, i hate it)...</p><p>i have to get to work on writing my speech about elizabeth gilbert. for my impromptu one that we did the other day of a &quot;memorable moment&quot; i actually told the class about the holly jacobs experience that took place a few semesters ago. man do i have some good stories about getting into little spats with professors. what is it with me? i am so quiet and tame. they bring out the wild in me. i really need to go to one of her book signings and meet her in person. she has been so kind and generous.</p><p>in other random news, john said his cruise is probably cancelled for december now and that he will be home when mel and i go up.. (mel wants us to go visit him in boston... she is a red sox fan)...&#160; so he pretty much thinks we are coming, haha. i kept joking around telling him to leave a key and stock the fridge for us. eh we may end up going after all. he is supposed to come home next week. we&#39;ll see. </p><p>if i have the money for gas and i can get the days off (only a few), i would drive up there with her. i also want to go visit <a href="http://shortofbreath.vox.com/" class="enclosure-inline-user" at:enclosure="inline-user" at:user-xid="6p00c2251cc1f08fdb" at:screen-name="Girl" at:delegate="people-connect" at:user-pic="http://up0.vox.com/6a00c2251cc1f08fdb00fa967977300003-75si" >Girl</a> before long. in january maybe? right?&#160; aww it would be like an anniversary reunion! hahaha.. new york seems so long ago...&#160;&#160; i still have &quot;john NYC&quot; (aka keanu reeves) in my phone. hahaha. i have no idea why. i just never got around to deleting it.</p><p>but none of that will happen if i don&#39;t get my business in order first. i&#39;m working on finding a better paying job at the moment. i know that things will iron out in time whether i do or not, but i really am trying to find something more suited to my goals in life.</p><p>today i told john to buy a bar so he can own it, and i&#39;ll tend it. he said that sounds perfect but sorry, he&#39;d have to pay me in beer. i told him that would be ok with me as long as i could sleep under the bar.</p><p>yawn. i&#39;m going to finish this writing assignment for features and then hop in bed. i want to go for a walk tomorrow morning, since i can&#39;t go in the darkness due to the serial rapist AT LARGE.</p><p>peace and love </p><p><br /> </p>   <p style="clear:both;">

You&#39;re always better friends with one person than you are with the other. For me it tends to be that I just stay friends with the one I am closer to and the other one drifts away from me. I&#39;ll say that I&#39;m still cordial to a few people that have broken up with my friends, but I&#39;m hard-pressed to come up with a lot of people that I&#39;ve befriended that I hadn&#39;t been close with already. Interestingly enough though, I have had many friendships made from the friends of the girls that I have dated that have lasted longer than the relationship with said girl.<br /></p></blockquote>
