big mouth la da da [25 Jul 2008|09:06am] [ mood | good ] last night mouse and i went to target ! my main goal was to try to find cheap shirts to wear to work, because i don't have anything plain or nice. unfortunately, their plus sizes are too big or long, and their xl/xxl are too small or too short. i'm obviously still plus sized, but shirts are a total crapshoot for me. you know what is also a bummer (clothes shopping only)? being fat with no boobs. everything for fat girls is made under the assumption that you have the biggest boobs in the world- my bathing suit has underwire, and one cup spans the width of 1.5 boobs on me ! i tried on this shirt in plus and regular and both were a disaster: i also almost bought this giant purse, which is actually cute in person, but i couldn't justify it since i just bought that chrome bag. even though i don't actually have a nice grown up purse for work and stuff. mouse is rearranging his house and had a bunch of cute problems, like not knowing the length of spaghetti to buy a storage container for spaghetti, and not knowing the volume of a box of cereal. i ended up getting exciting stuff like toilet paper, the new orbit gum (FABULOUS FRUITINI, spare yourself, it is DISGUSTING and i'm like #1 gumfan), and a black lace headband. i didn't really want a lace one but my hair is too SILKY for that slippery satin-y material most headbands are made out of. mouse's joke about it was AmIGothOrMadonna.Com. tonight i'm going to mike's and we're making thanksgiving ! baked macaroni and cheese, yams (instead of making awesome lime & honey yams, i'm acquiescing and making candied yams, with 2 sticks of butter and 2 cups of sugar ughhh), stuffing, brussels sprouts, and corn ! and saturday mike and mouse and i are seeing batman !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! finally. p.s. that mole p.p.s. on the way to target, we saw this license plate: i guess ms. unique was taken, but if ms. unique is taken, i think there's a lesson in there somewhere? mike suggested it was ms. eunuch, which actually is kind of unique. x equals 19 | suggest a variable

my opera records... covered in bubblegum ! [23 Jul 2008|09:46am] [ mood | cheerful ] last night i was so tired ! i didn't really do anything but accompany mouse to whole foods. oh, i also made chocolate frozen yogurt with cocoa powder- it was okay, but not that chocolatey. i might try it again with melted chocolate chips. anyway, at whole foods i got more yogurt for froyo, frozen strawberries for froyo, a few chunks of bbq seitan, and the best nectarine ever. man ! it was terrific. i'm bummed that i was so tired, because mouse has off today and we could've hung out late ! but my dvd player is broken and i was too tired to go to his house, and if we hung out at my house i would've passed out on his shoulder and dreamed he was a giant marshmallow and ate him. i also played warcraft alone for awhile- basically, my character can pick locks, but you have to pick a lot of locks as training and i've really slacked on my lock picking. it's embarrassing because sometimes in instances, people will loot steel lockboxes from corpses and then ask me to open them and i can't ! :( leveling lockpicking is a pain in the ass, though, i basically ran around a logging site for an hour opening goblin footlockers. today i have ED therapy and if it isn't raining, i may try to get mouse to come have burritos with me ! x equals 9 | suggest a variable

newsies [22 Jul 2008|11:15am] [ mood | awake ] apparently, according to this tabloidy british newspaper, christian bale was arrested for assaulting his mom? this further proves my theory that there is something wrong with christian bale. he's insane ! you can tell in any interview, he's a weird empty shell* of a person ! he also is the most terrible actor and just talks in a gruff voice and smiles when he's angry. i already decided he's guilty** yesterday i had a warcraft date with mike and his coworker ken, who likes dinosaurs and is married to a caterer. the rest of the people in our group were random people and all of them ended up kind of stinking. it was fun, though, i like playing warcraft with mike. the only problem is that we play more than we hang out so when i picture mike in my head now i imagine a tall handsome orc. i'm feeling nervous about money for no particular reason- i just paid a big ED therapy bill (big big big, like over $700 big), but i put aside money for it so it was no big deal, but i still feel uncomfortable making big purchases. p.s. mouse, mike, emily, and i are FINALLY seeing batman this saturday- IMAX ! * the shell is very hot ** guilty of being hot x equals 6 | suggest a variable

i wanna be a boat [21 Jul 2008|10:11am] [ mood | hungry ] this past friday was the first friday i haven't had plans since february or march ! i rode to trader joe's and bought way too much shit to carry on my back- about 45lbs of stuff (frozen burritos and vegetables are heavy), which made for a sweaty and uncomfortable ride home. then i hung out at home and watched unsolved mysteries dvds and made food. on saturday, i ate bean burritos in my underwear and played warcraft with mike all day. i tried to get him to come over, but his dog needed him to hang out with her more than i did. poor molly ! mouse came by after class and we watched the last two episodes of series 3 of doctor who. i really liked them- the master was a little ridiculous, but i really like that they finally had him regenerate instead of just putting the same van dyke beard on different actors ! and the final scene with the doctor and the master was touching. it took me awhile to get used to, but i love david tennant's obvious stage acting. i'm not really looking forward to series four because i hate catherine tate, but sean told me that she ends up not being a totally terrible companion ! on sunday, i met up with a craigslist guy to sell my ibook, and then mike and jeanne came over (mike g., not mike b., who would be the logical mike to group jeanne with). mike took me to the bank and the grocery store and we got stuff to make hot dogs ! i think i drastically overestimated how many veggie dogs i could eat- i love hot dog buns and ketchup and relish and mustard and sauerkraut, but veggie dogs taste like play doh. i only ended up eating two. i also tried to make coconut milk ice cream but i fucked up ! the mixture was delicious, but i somehow forgot to put the dasher in the ice cream maker so it froze but didn't churn :( then jeanne told us everything we needed to know about american gladiators and everyone went home. i ate some nectarines and a hot dog bun with just condiments, and then mike and i played warcraft wayyyyy too late when he got home. i just got this bag, which is fluorescent pink in real life: it's a chrome metropolis and i'm going to see how it goes- i have a reload courier, and i kind of hate it. it's really well-constructed and BEAUTIFUL and has wonderful pockets, but: - i hate the strap, it's extremely uncomfortable - i can never get the strap tight enough so the bag constantly shifts around my body - it's really hard to tighten and loosen the strap - the bag itself is really bulky i had a chrome citizen and it was the most comfortable bag ever, but it was too small. i actually sold it to mouse and he uses it for daily stuff instead of his reload courier. i did have some problems with it, mainly that i didn't like the pockets or the divider, but we'll see how it goes. once i pick, i'll just sell the one i don't like. hi, i'm at work. i have bad gas. x equals 8 | suggest a variable

two things ! [18 Jul 2008|02:34pm] [ mood | good ] 1) i forgot to post this picture of mike and i hanging out in thousand needles- it's old, back when we were level 28 ! 2) i'm really glad mouse text messages now, because i got one from him yesterday that said, "Hey gingerballs" and one today that just said "Aligator dick [sic]" x equals 1 | suggest a variable

peanut farmer [18 Jul 2008|09:09am] [ mood | happy ] remember my mention of weird pain that may or may not be near my kidneys? when i got home from work yesterday, i went to the bathroom and looked in the toilet after (to make sure nothing was amiss) and everything in the toilet was bright purple pink ! like, this color: i freaked out and immediately checked webmd for the meanings of different colored urine, and on the purple page the first thing it said was, "did you eat beets recently?". yes, yes i did. i ate like a pound of beets at bj and helen's on wednesday ! derrr. after peeing again later i determined that it was the #2 and not the #1 that was purple. this was almost as scary as the time i pooped fluorescent green and freaked out and was terrified until mouse asked me what i'd been eating and i realized i'd eaten almost nothing but incredible hulk pudding for days. last night i laid around, and mike and i played warcraft for awhile- we're at level 40 now, almost 41 ! unfortunately i have the worst pms ever so i've been yelling at him for the past 2 days in warcraft. i hope he doesn't stop playing with me ! i've grown accustomed to his orc. no big plans this weekend- mouse and i are gonna watch doctor who tomorrow, and i might hang out with jeanne sunday to do bike stuff and watch pepi, luci, bom if she doesn't go camping this weekend. tonight i have zero plans and i'm gonna clean my apartment and go grocery shopping ! x equals 13 | suggest a variable

greektown [17 Jul 2008|09:23am] [ mood | sore ] hey ! last night, mouse and i went over to bj and helen's to watch the x-files and eat food. their friends doc and pearl (who are a cute couple who are around my age, not 90 year old gold prospectors) and a really tall guy were there too. i like the x-files, but i never really think to watch it, i guess just because there's SO much of it to watch. bj thinks to watch it all the time, though, and i guess the five of them have been watching this season together. we watched the last two episodes of season one. by the way, i love movie computers from the 90s ! they're even better than 70s movie computers (despite the lack of reel-to-reel), because they were much closer to understanding what computers would eventually be capable of but didn't quite get it- like, enhancing a photograph- say, removing someone's beard, de-aging them, making them bald, etc- on a computer just takes a few keystrokes ! bj is also a fan of the flashing ACCESS DENIED message when people try to hack computers. the most important part of the evening though was that helen made food ! she's the best cook in the entire world. she made: - spanakopita - these zucchini patties that are apparently called "kolokithokeftethes" - salad - these delicious baked artichokes - lima beans with dill ! - fresh beets - this dessert that was weird little puffs in honey with walnuts that were sooooooo good and of course there were a million olives. asdaklgjkh. i wish i was eating it again right now- that was the best spanakopita i've ever had. i am wearing this today, and am very comfortable and feel cute: now you can identify me if you live in philadelphia and happen to come into my office like a creep ! or businessperson. now i'm at work, in a lot of weird pain. it's pain on both sides of my body, in the back, right at the bottom of my ribcage. it feels like weird discomfort when i'm sitting up, but it HURTS if i turn. - i have been eating foods that would make me gassy - it is right before my period but the pain seems slightly too high for ovaries - my pee looks okay so i don't think it's my kidneys i don't know, but i hate it and it hurts. wah. p.s. when i got home mike and i played warcraft and i yelled at him a lot because i was sad that my character kept getting killed, so i have to make him a million apology hot dogs. x equals 9 | suggest a variable

would it be so bad? [16 Jul 2008|08:52am] [ mood | acid refluxy ] hello ! i didn't go to work yesterday, so i didn't feel like updating. on monday night, mouse came over with burritos to watch new doctor who, but i lost my dvd player remote somewhere in my house and couldn't find it, so we settled on trimming my cat's fingernails and watching shanghai noon on tv. so, i'm the worst cat mom ever. one of pizza's soft paws wouldn't come off- like, for months, so whenever i cut her nails i'd just trim that one (i e-mailed the vet who invented them, she said trimming the tip would break the seal but it didn't). BUT i got her a new scratching pad and didn't trim her nails for like 2-3 weeks because i forgot about it and the soft paw fingernail was pressing into her paw pad :( it was sad when i cut it- there was only one teeny tiny raw spot, the rest was just an indention. i called the vet and he said to watch it to see if it gets swollen or warm, but it looks fine so far. poor pizza, i feel so terrible. just wanted to add though that i would still recommend soft paws but you have to be more vigilant than i was if one won't come off ! i didn't do much else yesterday but meet up with jesse riggins to get my ibook charger back, read anastasia krupnik books, and later play warcraft with mike. after the patch yesterday, you can get mounts at level 30 ! meaning you get a horse (or raptor, or wolf) to ride around instead of walking. not THAT exciting since we're level 38 now, but whatever. today i'm tired and have to go to the ED doctor. i had a weird period of overeating and a weird period of eating avoiding and i expect that i have gained 300lbs, which will make me feel weird, even though i am not logically concerned with losing weight. brains are dumb. p.s. my hair looked nice yesterday: but i am vain because i never look good in photobooth pictures and my first reaction was "this must be a really crappy camera" x equals 7 | suggest a variable

the tears i cry [14 Jul 2008|09:51am] [ mood | sore ] i had a nice weekend, despite zero bike rides !!! on friday, i went up to mike's house and we made horrible breakfast sandwiches and watched rambo, which was as terrible as it was the first time. the breakfast sandwiches consisted of: fake sausage and bacon eggs glazed doughnuts i was perfectly happy to leave it at that: but mike added cheese, real pepperoni, hot sauce, and another glazed doughnut to his: ewww. the next day, mike slept until a million p.m. and i woke up early and made those peanut butter banana chocolate chip muffins again and watched what not to wear (surprise ! they made young women look like old moms, and old moms look like old moms dressed like young soccer moms !). then we cleaned mike's room- he's kept every single article of clothing he's ever worn so sections of his closet looked like the wardrobe closet from boyz n the hood then mike, emily, and i came to the city to meet up with mouse for indian buffet ! i ran into jess v. there and she looked adorable and i was really happy to see her ! we stopped in the last word after that, where i got: ramona the brave by beverly cleary cut by patricia mccormick (what cutters today need is a lifetime movie about cutting- when cutting came into fashion when i was in high school, the lifetime movie about it made it instantly uncool !) alias grace by margaret atwood the tent by margaret atwood after mike and emily went home, mouse and i watched the griffin/ortiz fight because it was the first ufc fight we watched together, and we wanted to see it now that we understood what was going on ! it was a pretty good fight once griffin woke up in round 2. we also watched new doctor who- we're FINALLY almost done with series 3, 90 years too late. we watched utopia, the first in a three parter. just a warning, i'm going to ruin this episode for people who haven't watched it yet because the expiration date for tv spoilers is 6 months: there was an old professor who the episode centered around who i swore from the beginning looked like a timelord ! haha. i can't explain what i mean (except that he was dressed a little like patrick troughton) and he totally turned out to be the master ! it's a bummer because it was really good, but we don't have any doctor who time until probably the weekend !!!! on sunday, i finally did my laundry. i was cranky and lazy, so mouse and i went to whole foods (their sesame fake chicken was GROSS and too salty !) and i got stuff to make cherry chocolate chip frozen yogurt, which i made and then ate instead of dinner. cherry chocolate chip frozen yogurt 1 32oz container of plain whole milk yogurt 2/3 cup white sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract 3/4 cup thawed frozen cherries or fresh chopped cherries with the juice ! 1/2 cup chocolate chips mix the first 3 ingredients and refrigerate for 1 hour. prepare fro-yo according to your ice cream maker's instructions, adding the add-ins in the last 5 minutes. this tastes like exactly what it sounds like, by the way- frozen yogurt. it is very tangy and yogurty ! i played warcraft with mike and hung out with my stupid cat, and today i am at work and my kidneys hurt. i showed a coworker where i meant, and she said it was way too high to be my kidneys and was probably gas, but i'm going to milk the kidney thing for awhile (ew, 'milk the kidney'). okay bye ! x equals 6 | suggest a variable

up up up and down [11 Jul 2008|10:38am] [ mood | amused ] hello everyone ! yesterday after work i felt uncommonly tired so i ended up not going on a bike ride with mouse (which i instantly regretted... once i woke up from my nap). i did almost nothing yesterday except for finish new moon. gahhhh, i HATE these books. i want to find stephanie meyer and SHAKE her. i recommend them to every intelligent woman i know so you can read them and be appalled and offended and amused ! they introduce a new romantic character for bella to be in an abusive relationship with ! is that a painting or a photograph? CAN'T TELL ! tonight i'm hanging out with mike because we are possibly going on a bike ride tomorrow ! my only other plans for today are to start reading eclipse and clean my apartment. p.s. i have heard that eclipse is terrible and i can't wait to read it. x equals 7 | suggest a variable

something's telling me it might be you [10 Jul 2008|10:04am] [ mood | content ] i forgot my lunch AND my wallet today ! i'm already hungry because i know i won't get to eat lunch, even though i live less than a mile from work. i walked today and 1) i hate walking (IT'S SO SLOW) and 2) i hate backtracking. yesterday was a really nice day off ! it was thunderstormy, so i stayed inside and finally finished reading twilight and started reading new moon. ugh. how did this woman get a book deal? i want to go to her house and bully her into donating all of the millions she made from these books to a vampire youth center or something. that said, i'm still going to finish reading them all, and buy the new one right when it comes out- i heard eclipse is especially infuriating !! i also watched the movie notes on a scandal, which i loved ! i was a little put off at first because the plot moved so quickly that the relationship changes seemed really sudden, but after i got used to that i thought it was a really interesting, painful movie. basically it's about an old creepy high school teacher who befriends another younger teacher and finds out her new friend is fucking a 15 year old student. pros - cate blanchett is so hot and i love looking at her - judi densch is a wonderful actress - all of the characters were sympathetic, even the awful ones that they were trying to make you hate - the narration (the 'notes' from the creepy woman's diary) was like, the only narration i've ever liked in a movie - visually beautiful cons - they really went out of their way to make the 15 year old boy look like the aggressor in the relationship, and made their relationship look sexy and romantic. no matter how much guys tell me that they would've loved for a teacher or older woman to f them as an adolescent it still is weird and child molesty to me ! - the kid wasn't even hot !!! annnnnnd after that i played warcraft for awhile. mike was on warcraft holiday because his eyes were twitching, so i took my character to the troll beginning zone and did all of those beginning quests so i can eventually become revered with the darkspear trolls. whatever. p.s. one of my coworkers just said, "i never noticed your arms were so hairy !" and i said, "i never noticed you were so RUDE !!!!!!" and it is the only time i've ever had a good comeback on the spot ! x equals 21 | suggest a variable

friskies [09 Jul 2008|08:50am] [ mood | bored ] i'm not going to work today ! this would all be perfect if i didn't have to go to the ED doctor at 10:30, because i could stay in without showering and read twilight. yesterday mouse and i did the art museum loop- it bums me out that my toes get numb while riding. i know i need stiffer shoes (and from past experience i think that clipless pedals and actual cycling shoes might solve the problem, but i'm hesitant to use them on my commuter bike !), but i don't want to do anything about it and i just want it to go away ! while we were riding, i painstakingly described the plot of 'wanted' in minute detail, totally ruining the movie for him. apparently i made it sound like it was actually awesome but i think i'm just a good storyteller, because it still is the worst movie ever. thennnn mike and i played warcraft and got a really good sword for harridan- i also redid her talents per mike's instruction. warcraft warcraft warcraft blah blah blah. now i'm going to try to enjoy the precious hour i have before i have to take a shower. x equals 2 | suggest a variable

i've been tired i've been tired i've been tired [08 Jul 2008|09:40am] [ mood | sleepy ] the president of the university sent us trays of fancy cookies and everyone in my office is predictably stuffing themselves and complaining about how "bad" they're being. i wish everyone would just resign themselves to quietly getting fat. the most notable event yesterday was that i started reading twilight by stephanie meyer in anticipation of the movie, which i want to see because cedric diggory is super hot. you know, i really thought i would love it because i love teenage vampire romances (i HATE adult vampire romances btw and any adult vampire novels) but so far i totally hate it. the writing is terrible and drama-clubby and everyone says each others' name constantly, and the main character is named ISABELLA SWAN !!!! and the teen vampire is super condescending and controlling and is constantly daddying the female protagonist. i also wanted to post this picture because this is a hilarious interpretation of vampire hair: p.s. they haven't even kissed each other yet- she JUST confirmed with him that he is a vampire. p.p.s. i am gonna read all the other books too. it's at least entertaining. last night mike and i played warcraft, too, of course. we went to a place called gnomeregan (almost my last name !) to complete a quest that would give me a pair of pants i wanted, and then we did a few scarlet monastery quests. gnomeregan was really boring but the rest was fun ! harridan is now level 33. tonight mouse and i are going on a bike ride, so i definitely didn't complain about eating two giant cookies for breakfast. not that i ever would, unless i wanted three cookies and we ran out. x equals 22 | suggest a variable

he loves me not [07 Jul 2008|09:20am] [ mood | sleepy ] i've had "how will i know?" by whitney houston in my head for like five months. i had a really good long weekend ! on thursday, i came home from work and passed out for real. we got out of work at noon, i fell asleep around 3:30, and didn't wake up until almost 8pm ! i woke up and felt super disoriented and mouse and i took a quick ride on kelly drive and then went to whole foods. on friday, the weather totally sucked, so i stayed at home and watched a king of the hill marathon and played warcraft :\ later that night, i took the train to mike's house and we went to see wanted. we saw the preview before "the happening" and thought it looked hilarious (not as hilarious as babylon A.D. but that isn't out yet !). WRONG. wanted is the most terrible movie ever and i don't even care about spoiling it for you so don't read this next part unless you want to know all the idiotic plot details of the movie. you are better off not seeing it. cons - the league of assassins are told who to kill by a loom. like, a LOOM loom, a loom that makes cloth, and they decipher the imperfections in the cloth to reveal names. they call the loom THE LOOM OF FATE. - they have a bath of wax to put you in that mysteriously and immediately cures all injuries- except the injuries that look cool, like a cut across the bridge of your nose. - the script was obviously written by 12 year old boys. - "let's have a hot lady assassin... and her name can be FOX !!!!" (mouse suggested the name "vixen blayde") - treatment of women is gross (his boss is a fat ugly woman and they make a point to talk about how fat and ugly she is and she gets publicly humiliated, his girlfriend is a cheating whiny BITCH, angelina jolie *SURPRISE* turns out to be assigned to kill james mcavoy, not help him !!! but she's an honorary man, and she gets naked, and always has perfect makeup.) - why would james mcavoy care about following in his father's footsteps when his father abandoned him? - why is killing people considered better than just being boring?! the ending of the movie is james mcavoy talking about how he changed his life from a boring one to the life of an assassin and he actually looks at the camera and says, "what the fuck have you done lately?". a: not killed anyone. - how are trained superassassins not trained to look for an X mark on the floor? - they killed an awful lot of rats. by having the rats eat peanut butter and explosives and then making the rats into bombs, instead of dead, poisoned rats. - i don't understand the part with the russian guy. - he is on a fucking train that falls off of a cliff and everyone dies but him, angelina jolie, and the assassin he thinks killed his father but is actually his father. what? - james mcavoy isn't that great of an actor and his american accent is terrible. angelina jolie can only act bored or bemused. pros - the scene where he starts killing all the other assassins in the factory is pretty cool/funny and i bet it was gratifying to that scottish nerd to film something like that. - um... there are some beautiful overhead shots of budapest and the czech republic? - after people running faster than the speed of sound, jumping from building to building, curving bullets, magic baths, etc., angelina jolie ducks on top of a train to go through a tunnel and the guy behind us said, 'that's so fake'. after the movie, we (ahem) played more warcraft. on saturday, we (guess what) played warcraft again and went to the grocery store to get ready for the fight ! i tried to make my famous vegan white bean chili but i used bush's beans and it came out terrible. i also made krista's peanut butter banana chocolate chip muffins and those turned out perfectly ! here is a picture she took of hers: they were unbelievably delicious, even though i forgot to add vanilla (i added vanilla rice milk though instead of plain). then mouse came over so we could watch UFC 86 on pay-per-view. i was really nervous- i love forrest griffin but i didn't think he had much of a chance to beat rampage, and he won ! it was a great fight, really close, and i was so nervous the whole time. mouse, who really thought griffin had a chance, looked like a kid on christmas the whole fight. it was definitely one of the situations where watching mouse see the fight was as fun as seeing the fight. the whole main card was pretty good, too. i hate josh koschek but i have to admit that seeing his dumb blond hair stained pink by someone else's blood was kind of cool. after the fight, i stayed at mike's again, and on sunday we went to the mall (haha, suburbs) and i got special scrubby cloths from the body shop, shampoo from victoria's secret, and (ugh) the warcraft burning crusade expansion pack. i um, actually got that last thing from walmart :( i also got a four pack of underwear and some undershirts ! after that, we played warcraft for a million hours and then mike took me back to the city, we ate dinner, and then he went home. this was a really long entry ! tonight i hope to take a nap and watch tv. x equals 33 | suggest a variable

an ocean of calamine lotion [03 Jul 2008|03:49pm] [ mood | sad ] they surprised us at work today- we were told we were getting free breakfast, but we got free breakfast AND lunch (and they had the caterers bring veggie burgers for me !) and we didn't have to do work all day and just played board games. i destroyed everyone at taboo and yahtzee ! and then we got to leave at 12. we also got an extra paid day off any time in july ! i just read with you and without you by ann m. martin and cried hysterically the whole time and now i feel really sad. it was surprisingly well-written for the person who brought us the babysitters club. x equals 2 | suggest a variable

china girl [02 Jul 2008|10:34am] [ mood | bored ] it's always a bummer when i type in a subject line of whatever song is running through my head and the autocomplete pulls it up because i've already used it. last night was me and mouse's last beginner yoga class. it was done more like a real class where we went through all the poses with less instruction/time out than usual, and it was really fucking hard. i've also been kind of constipated lately and almost had a horrible emergency at one point !! i don't know- i'm already flexible and i'm already strong, but i'm kind of discouraged about yoga because there are positions that i could totally do... if i wasn't fat. like, i have meat in the way ! but i'm more flexible than anyone and lonergans have muscles in their shit (© my dad). get it? baby cobra. anyway, i'd like to take more classes but i'm nervous to do it outside of a beginner setting. mouse is really good though ! the teacher kept saying, "good, chris !" and i was like, "who the hell is chris?". after class mike called and bored me with the details of some non-warcraft video game while i attempted to eat a cupcake that was bigger than my bite radius. the girl at green line told me that she thought the cupcake might be old; green line girl: this may have been in the fridge for like a day and a half roxy: oh green line girl: i can GIVE YOU A DEAL on it though (basically she won me over forever. it WAS a little stale but the price was right). that's about all- no ED appointment today, which is a relief because i don't feel like talking or going anywhere. i still need a bike tube though. x equals 10 | suggest a variable
