I'm ready to end winter break

I kind of want to go back to Berkeley. My body feels really gross from not exercising in a long time. It's like ... somewhat sore. I have no idea why. Maybe because I haven't stretched out my muscles in a long time. I also have random impulses to fling my body around because it has a lot of pent-up energy in it. I lie around the house a lot and my eyes have gotten worse from Minesweeper.

I also want to go to Rasputin and look for cds. I like Jaymay and The Burnside Project but they're very hard to find on Limewire. :( I really want to find more bands during break, since Limewire seems to work better at home than at Berkeley. But looking for music leads to my playing more minesweeper while I'm waiting for Limewire to perform searches. And then three hours later I'm like "WHOA WHAT happened to my time?!"

Brett Dennen is surprisingly good too. I hope I didn't delete his cd, which I downloaded some time ago.

I would rather put up a video of other songs I like (Jaymay - Sea Green, Sea Blue and The Burnside Project - And So It Goes) but there are none on youtube. Poopie. Although I don't think anyone clicks these.

New Years is tomorrow! I kind of don't want to bother planning anything because I'm kind of lazy and I don't feel like going out to downtown Disney or anything. But then I think about how in a few years, I might not even be able to go out if I wanted to, and this is the time to do anything and everything I think of. I guess it's more memorable when you drive somewhere and celebrate rather than sit at someone's house, which is what we do all the time. Hmm I think I just convinced myself to go to downtown Disney.

Poor habits I've picked up over break

1. Eating some sort of chinese rice krispy treat every day for breakfast. It's like large rice krispies covered in some sort of syrup or honey. They also taste kind of stale but I've gotten so used to eating one every morning that I feel like I won't be full until I eat one

2. Not exercising at all (I tried running at the track today. I died out at 3 1/2 miles and thought I might actually barf) compared to my usual 30 minute elliptical and 1 hour swimming

3. Sitting at the computer playing minesweeper. Even though I no longer need to make a high score. Who knows when this will end?

4. Drinking a cup of hot chocolate while eating Trader Joe's Chocolate Chip dunkers. Which are delicious but basically just added fat

5. Staring at facebook all day because there are no more new episodes which means my television sites are no longer providing me hilarious recaps to read. I hate being a facebook whore. It's such a waste of my life

I hate food. And being fat. I also went through my xanga entries from past summer and WOW I sure talked about being fat a lot. I wonder why my friends continue to read my entries. Aren't they all the same? HAHA

NEW YEAR = NO MORE FOOD. But it is only December 30th. OMG only one more day until the new year. Oh well. Years don't mean very much in life. It's the number on your paycheck that matters.

What have I done today?

Nothing

Curse of poor eyesight

I decided I would go running today at night. Actually, not really "decided" but "felt like if I didn't exercise, I would go to sleep loathing myself and clutching my fat stomach." So I got ready and walked out and was just passing Greenfield Ave when I heard someone in a car shout something at me. I figured it was some weirdo highschooler so I ignored him and kept walking. And then the car stopped and the person rolled down the window and at this point, I was starting to get freaked out and wondering if anyone would happen to be an eyewitness if I were kidnapped.

Through the music of my iPod, I heard the guy go "hey, Melissa! Melissa!" and I was like "why would a pervert know my name?" but then also wondered if it was some trick. But he made a U-turn and pulled over next to me (facing the wrong way of traffic, too) when I realized it was my cousin. He gave me a ride to the track, but it was dark, so I just went home.

Where I ate an ice cream sandwich and drank hot chocolate and ate cookies. I've noticed that when I fail to exercise, my immediate response is to eat something

My teeth hurt. My dentist seems to think my teeth aren't clean until she makes them bleed.

Hehe
