acurls
i went on a cruise once, and it was a carnival cruise. not terrible, but it was a backstreet boys cruise so it was more exhausting than it was relaxing. also, carnivals make me think of carnies, and i'm not crazy about either of those things. although a funnel cake can be good once in awhile... same with a corn dog, though i haven't had one of those in years.
insects are attracted to me. seriously. especially mosquitoes. they find me no matter where i am, no matter how many layers i have on, whether i have slathered insect repellent on or not. i have more bites that i do freckles, which says something because i have a lot of freckles. insects bite (pun intended).
montage. 80's. that's what i think of. and i enjoy the way family guy makes fun of montages from the 80's and 90's. sometimes i wish i could move my life forward in a montage. i feel like large projects would get done a lot faster that way, and at least there would be some poppy music to it....
technology is one thing that is constantly becoming obsolete. just last night i was playing my old NES system, and as i watched the screen blink and the graphics fade, it was sad to think i wouldn't be able to replace those games easily anymore. the hot new systems are hot for a few years, before something takes their place.
gym is something i need to get to more often. i remember one time in grade school, i got a crap after gym and my face was beet red. my teacher told me it was because i was out of shape and could use to lose a little weight. goes my poor body image started earlier than i thought. 100 days of working out in a row, coming up when i get home.
always wondering. always dreaming. do those who wonder with their heads in the clouds doom their life to fall short? always dreaming, never reality.
i was once stung by a bee. it happened in college, on my way to class. i had never been stung before, so when it happened, i was shocked at how much it hurt. i didn't have anything to numb the pain, so i frantically purchased a bottle of iced tea and held my finger in it for the bus ride to class, during class, and the bus ride after class. i felt like a giant idiot, but it was the only thing that would keep the pain subsided for the time being!
last summer i almost ran a full marathon. i got up to 14 miles of training, after a 1/2 marathon race in chicago, when i got injured (again). 14 miles is the longest i had ever run, and i felt that if i could break the 1/2 marathon distance i could certainly get to 26.2 miles. i almost did. maybe someday i will.
brandon swept me off my feet almost immediately. we took the leap from good friends to a couple in love in what seemed like days, but really it was something that was happening long before we were aware of what was going on.
i am one of those people who feels like they need to be in control of everything, all the time. its really hard to be in control of everything in your life, though. something i am just learning now. all you can control is how you react to things, not what happens to you. the tricky part now is to accept that and just let life happen.
