athlete vs. elliptical, blobe vs. globe, fish vs. dog

Okay, post #3, cool.

Today I went to the GYM. You know, that place with all those machines and sweaty people? It’s all so foreign to me now that I’m no longer an athlete. I love saying that word- a t h l e t e. Anyways, I only went because my mom made me. It wasn’t so bad though, I used the elliptical and the treadmill for a total of 30 minutes. Elliptical is such a cool word. I think I love it more than athlete... Do I need to wipe down the machine after I use it? Cuz sometimes I see people doing that, but not all the time… is there some rule? Like if you worked out for this amount of time you have to wipe it down, or if you sweat this much you have to wipe it down? I didn’t wipe anything down today and as I left I couldn’t help but feel paranoid that everyone was watching me thinking ‘the nerve of that girl, she didn’t even wipe down that elliptical’.

Enough about the g-y-m. I can’t find my camcorder… and I wanted to make a lovely video before graduation but that won’t be possible until I find that camcorder… I’m starting to worry… what if I dropped it somewhere and didn’t notice? Probably not though.

I’m trying to figure out if I can google my blog because that would be so cool. Except when I typed in ‘the boston blobe’ I kept getting the boston globe. A little unfair in my opinion.

Today I also went to the library. I’m not really sure why… but I put Sarah Dessen’s new book on hold (fk: have you read it yet?).

If you were wondering, Phineas is doing fantastic. I really think he’s adjusted to his new home and all. I’m trying to train him… you know, maybe teach him a few tricks for the next time someone’s over. You’d be impressed right? I mean, you see dogs doing tricks all the time, how many times have you seen a fish do one? I just hope he isn’t one of those fish with a 5 second memory…

p.s. i'm pretty sure I was joking about the whole teaching Phineas tricks... pretty sure... maybe when I'm really bored one day

Law&Order, Mr. Caulfield and EYES

I'd just like to say that this second post proves just how serious I am about this wonderful blog.

Now, onto more important matters- should I stay up to watch the new episode of Law & Order tonight? I know staying up to 11 may not be very late, but keep in mind that it can take me forever to fall asleep. I’ve started watching Law & Order if you didn’t catch that.

New thought. Currently I’m re-reading The Catcher In The Rye (do I need to caps the ‘in’ and ‘the’?). I’m not going to lie; I’m a big Holden fan. Though I feel like most people aren’t crazy about him. What can I say? He’s funny. And who doesn’t like funny?

Another new thought. Uhhhhhhhhhh

I feel like I shouldn’t just end my post like this- look how little I’ve rambled… quick! Think of something to ramble about…. I’m addicted to fanfiction. Still. Although sometimes I’ll go a few days without going on and I can’t help but think ‘finally! I’ve overcome this horrible addiction’ only to find myself reading the next day… OH! I know guess what, guess what? I’m slowly going blind! Well… not really, but my eyesight is getting worse and worse! I’m getting glasses! Can you believe it? I used to have perfect vision so this is a bit of a surprise for me. It’s not like I can’t see… stuff is just blurry sometimes… anywho, I’m pretty sure it gets worse everyday, seriously. At the beginning of the year, I could see certain things clearly, and now I’ve got to squint. But don’t worry, this has nothing to do with my fanfiction addiction- I asked the eye lady.
Okay, this post seems good enough- not too much rambling, just enough… cool

dead fishes, axe murders, spilled milk and birthday wishes

So I was lying in bed and after about 2 hours I realized I wasn’t going to fall asleep and despite being exhausted before getting into bed, I was (am) wide awake- pretty much what happens to me every night. So as usual when I can’t sleep I either find something to read or turn on the t.v (which you should always proceed with caution because the bright light from the t.v is blinding when you’ve been lying in the dark for the past 2 hours- like b-l-i-n-d-i-n-g). so I watched the Simpsons, then Friends then eventually decided it was time for that after midnight snack- I’m always reminded of Scooby-Doo (you know that mystery solving dog?) whenever I go to get a midnight snack. Okay so I go downstairs and turned on the kitchen light and look over at Phineas (yes I will call him Phineas on my blog to protect his privacy from online predators- actually it’s because it’s what his name should have been) in his bowl who’s FLOATING AT THE TOP OF THE BOWL. I almost had a heart attack, but then he swam down to the bottom. I THOUGHT HE HAD DIED. I mean I’ve only had him for a few weeks so that would’ve been pathetic. And it’s not like going downstairs in the middle of the night to early morning isn’t scary enough- I always feel like there’s some crazed axe murder lurking in the shadows just waiting for me to get a hunger craving and come downstairs to get a late night snack- Anyways, while I was making myself some toast, I started thinking, ‘why not write my first blog entry now?’ because really, what’s better than insomnia induced rambling? Apparently I wasn’t paying attention because my toast burned. Haven’t burned toast in a long time. Okay not that you really need to know this but I totally just spilled milk all over myself- I’m just going to blame it on fatigue. Alright, that’s enough rambling for tonight, I promised myself I would keep it to a minimum…


Okay, so I lied… but it’s just because I forgot to add one more thing. Now this is VERY important. Life or death matter here. I need new Ipod headphones. Desperately. If anyone has any old ipod headphones they don’t need anymore feel free to hand them over- think of it as a birthday present! But seriously, used headphones anyone? I’m too cheap/lazy to buy new ones (they’re $30! Do you know what I could buy with $30? Also I’m against buying new ipod headphones, I’m not sure why though) So again, used old ipod headphones, you know who to give them too. I will be eternally grateful and will love you for life because I sort of need music during passing time for the ultimate space background. I will give credit to Katherine who gave me hers but uh… those broke sometime last week…


To be honest I don’t really want anything for my birthday at this point. Well nothing I can really think of… but you know what would be awesome? A cupcake! I would really like a cupcake, one of those big ones? I mean not colossal, but you know those biggish bakery ones? With all the frosting? Also I’ve run out of those ice breaker tropical sour things… though I’ll just get those the next time I’m at CVS. For my birthday I would also like it to be warm enough outside not to have to wear a jacket and not freeze- I get cold easily. It’s not like I’m asking that much, just a change in the weather, maybe straight A’s for the rest of the year and a part-time job… Oh, and pearls- but don’t worry, I’m waiting until I’m like 21 to get those (and I’ll pay for them myself… maybe… possibly… … …)

Okay I know, I’ve rambled way too much and nobody is actually going to read to the end of this. Though if you do I will be impressed. You will have impressed me. So if you’ve read all of this- with little to no skimming- than congratulations, you’re a winner! At least to me. No, you’ll be my hero… maybe… possibly… …



Can we still having my wonderful birthday chatroom? it makes me happy- and we like to make me happy, right? if you love me at all you'll be there!
