I'm bad at finishing things
It's true.
At any given moment, I have three crocheting projects and another waiting in the bowels in my mind.
I have to novels started and waiting alone and dusty on my flash drive.
I have a giant tub of buttons waiting to be crafted.
Last summer I started to loose weight, but I can't seem to finish I have hit a road block the size of an elephant and I can't seem to move past it. Yes, I could join weight watchers in Columbus, but for some reason I don't think I'd do very well at it. Also, it costs money, money I would hate to pay and then not do well with it.
So here's my idea. I am going to try and lose weight on a combination Weight Watcher's and just plain common sense. I will be back at school, so I will be in control of what food I come in to contact with, so that would help some.
But I'm really bad at finishing things, so hears what we are going to try to do... I will blog at least once a week on my progress, and you, the people out there in cyber space will hold me accountable. I like to workout, and I have kept up with that (I've just eaten whatever I wanted) so I don't think that will be a problem.
(Speaking of, if you are in Columbus and would like a work out buddy, hit me up!)
So what I need from you, is to know if you think this is something we could do. Not the whole working out together thing, but the whole holding me accountable bit. If I know someone out there is counting on me, I feel like I would do better, or at the very least at least try.
If you are reading this and are agreeing to the whole holding me countable part, please comment on the entry or on my facebook status.
We can do this!

less drowning, more land
((also, I am writing this on not having much sleep, and my allergies are rearing their ugly heads... so yeah, my writing is not up to par right now. I just want to get these feelings down when I have a chance to))
so I am having the most incredible experience of my life. for serious.
in case you didn't know, I'm currently an RA for Mississippi's Governors School. I attended MGS in 2007, and while I did enjoy myself, I didn't really come out of my shell or socialize very much.
well, now I am like one of those hermit crabs. you know, the ones that you buy at the fair, and they have painted shells? they have to switch from one shell to another (I have no idea why... my crabs always died way before they got to the switching point).
so, I feel like one of those crabs. I have switched shells and now I am in a bright, roomy shell (also, I feel like it has a rainbow on it... or it is ORANGE!) I feel so comfortable here. My shell fits!
here, I don't feel self conscience. I'm not really aware of my weight (which is always something I'm really aware of). I'm funnier here, or rather, I feel comfortable enough to be myself, and to make my smart (goofy) jokes, someone will get them. here, the other female RA's aren't focused on boys. the male RA's are the first boys I've been around in a long time, that our interactions don't have a forced sexual over tone. it's like sex and gender here don't matter so much. intelligence does.
I feel like I'm different here, but maybe I'm just more myself? I will talk to every one (and anyone) and man, I am loud. One of the girls said to me, "I admire you because you are so out going" and I could only think, "wow, normally I'm the shy one"
here, we don't put other down to make ourselves feel better. we don't poke fun at flaws. I'm saying we, because I feel like the entire program is so united that we are now a we
also, my girls (my wing) filled out note cards where they 1) said what their favorite part of MGS thus far has been 2) their lest favorite part 3) and anything they wanted me to know (like a roommate issue, clique problems, that sort of thing)
normal favorite part was everything, meeting new people at lunch, and getting to hang out with those new people during free time.
normal least favorite was nothing, the heat, the stairs, and not enough free time.
normal thing the wanted me to know some random fact, I love you Megan or I am not a suck, up but I find you very inspirational (LEGIT!)
my personal favorite thing the wanted me to know: I just wanted you to know, your hair is really, really awesome!
:)

meany's barking
I'm a little obsessed with blog reading. I admire people who publish every detail of their lives and air out dirty laundry for the world to inspect. I'm pretty much a voyeur, so I eat all of this up. Also, I like vaguely intresting but still menial reading.
I read all sort of blog's. Mega Families are a fav, television recap's, LGBT, and of course, Caringbridge. I have a collection of sick people I visit everyday (without leaving the comfort of my own home).
So when I'm going back and reading blog, I tend to explore the archives. While browsing through the months or articles, I always look for the June 2009 articles. I want to know what was going on in the rest of the world at the same time my world very nearly stopped.

the world should revolve around me
I used to write a lot... now? Not so much.
So I am trying something.
Every day I am going to sit down and write for 40 minutes.
I am going to make a separate blog and post my writings there.
I am going to write in a notebook, because computers provide too many distractions.
but every night I will type up my scribblings because

So please keep in mind I wrote it all in 40 minutes, and when I type things up, I am only going to edit for clarifications, not plot or crappiness.
I am putting it up here, so maybe I will stick to it out of shame.
Maybe.

i need something to rely on
Okay Glee, I love you. You're really making strides for the LGBT community, and your cast has a ton of talent. Also, the Lauren/Puck story line? Love It!
That being said, I have a bone to pick with you: why are the characters who are not white getting there share of story lines? Tina used to be a fleshed out character who even sang a solo (once) when she was Artie. Now she and fellow Asian Mike are stock character who seem to solely exist to sing and dance backup. Mercedes keeps getting one episode romances, and basically exists to hit the high notes and to provide sassy comments. Yes, in the last episode Mercedes had a moment or two with Sam, but I'd be real surprised if that lasted.
You're handling all the 'white' issues well, but I'd like to see a little color thrown into the mix.

i can't help feeling
It occurs to me that the name of this blog sounds dirty...
it's not.
I jump- or rather, act, before thinking. I don't pause to weigh ideas in my mind.
I should work on that.
