Today is my dad's birthday. I just happened to look at my calender.

July 10th, 1954 - March 26th, 2007


I have one picture of my dad and I together. Just one. And I'll never share it. Because it's mine. I don't remember when it was taken, or even what's really going on in this picture, but we both look really happy. I'm glad I have that picture, even if it's just one. I'll share it with my children. It will be ours.

Dad,

Even though you're not with me in this life, at least I know I'll have someone waiting for me in the next one.

We all remember me talking about my U.S Government class, right?

I just had to explain how Affirmative Action works to someone on the discussion board, as this week's topic was on civil liberties. "BLACK PPL R TAKIN U JORBS" is not Affirmative Action, asshole.

And don't even get me started on talking to some dumb girl about The Patriot Act.


This class is gonna have me choking some motherfuckers.

My car was supposed to be ready last Wednesday. Then they said it would be ready on Thursday, and then on Friday. I called just now to see when I could come and pick up my car.

They said it wouldn't be ready until Monday afternoon. Fucking MONDAY. NO. NO NO NO. It should have been ready TWO FUCKING DAYS AGO. There were like two fucking dents. Itty, bitty dings. Dings I could have LIVED with, but it's their policy to fix them. Fine, whatever.

I want my fucking car. If it's not absolutely fucking perfect on Monday afternoon (if I decide that I don't need to storm the dealership), they get no sale. They get no fucking sale and I will take my money somewhere else. Fuck, I may even just buy a new one.

They've been running me through the ringer since LAST Friday.

It better be a car fit for fucking JESUS to drive.

Day two of my C25K is done! I can't say it was better or easier, but there were different challenges and eases to this work out.

It was cooler outside than it was yesterday, which was nice, and I brought a bottle of ice water with me. I also invested in an armband for my iPod, which was nice to have. It didn't chafe or rub on my arm, but did get a little bit sweaty and was sliding. I'll put a napkin under it or something next time. I also remembered to tie my hair up this time! No hair-mouth!

As far as the bad things go, there weren't too many. The gnats were out in full force, as it rained about an hour before my run. So, while there was no hair-mouth, there was bug-mouth. And bug-eyes. And bug-nose. Not a fan of that. I also didn't have time for find another tank top for running, so I had to pick a black t-shirt. Not a smart idea, but I survived!

I feel awesome! Hungry, but awesome. I'm really glad I decided to do this. I'm in such a good mood right now and really enjoy running. It's a little bit tough, but I've made it through two work outs. I CAN make it through the others. I WILL make it through the others. And I will reward myself with a pair of crazy purple leggings.

Go me! :3

Mass. sues feds over definition of marriage

I hope this works out for them! :D

I hate my government class. It's an online class and some of the members of my class are so fucking stupid. It's like I paid money to be part of the conservatism community and I have to log in every day. :|

So, I started my "Couch to 5k" program when I got home, just like I said I would! Good for me! I downloaded the iPhone app and I'm going to make a new playlist for running. I'm excited that I followed through with starting today. I'm sure, that with self-encouragement, I'll be able to do all 9 weeks of the program and do the PurpleStride in September. I'm so fucking determined to do PurpleStride, you guys. I will cross the finish line in these (purple, obv) and I will cry like a baby.

I'm also thinking about picking up a treadmill (I saw a few cheap ones on craigslist) for when it's just too hot to run outside or if it's raining really heavily.

I'm off to make myself a playlist! :3

GO ME!


P.S. I'm going to be sore like a motherfucker tomorrow. Not looking forward to class first thing in the morning. Boooo.

I used to run in high school, but for the last seven months (so, this entire year) I haven't run at all, really. I'm in really poor shape and I eat like crap (thanks, desk job and lack of personal responsibility!), and it's kinda ruining my life.

I'm constantly in bad moods, my hair is absolute balls, my skin is also balls and my pants don't fit. Cry cry.

So, I think I'm going to do that Couch to 5k thing. I've only heard great things about it. I''m going to start today. See, the thing is, I've been telling myself to start this Couch to 5k program for about two months now. So, I start TODAY. I keep making excuses for myself and putting it off. So, today.

I would really love to participate in one of Jacksonville's many fall 5ks (probably the River Run. Free Starbucks for the runners and my fat ass needs and incentive lol) and I kind of...really want to attempt a triathlon. We'll see about that.

But yes. TODAAAAY. I'm all about a can-do attitude from here on out. Instead of saying "You can't do that", I'm going to say "Sure you can. At least try!"

Go me :3

SOMEONE PUT A BABY IN ME RIGHT NOW.

Happy 233^rd Birthday, America. You're a great country, one of the very best! :3

My dad and I signed all the papers to get this little baby! It should be ready for me to pick up on Wednesday or Thursday and I have to drop off my paystub tomorrow morning after temple.

SO. STOKED.

I'm only posting a few, but be sure to check out my flickr set. If you have time to kill, view the whole set and be sure to view them on Black (to get the full effect. There's a link to "View on Black" at the bottom of the description). If you have a flickr account, I would love some comments/feedback and a favorite/star or two. Thaaaanks.














(If you want to use these for like, icons or something, I'm cool with that, as long as you credit me for taking these pictures. These were not easy to get. Thaaaaanks.)

How do you use "litigation" in a sentence? I know how ;___;

My first class starts at 5:30. I was pretty nervous yesterday, but now I'm pretty excited! Poor because my last textbooks sucked up the rest of my funds for the next two weeks (cry cry), but excited nonetheless.

I have my ID, my parking decal, all my books, some paper and a pencil. I'm good to go! :D

I'm having a bit of an anxiety issue right now. I'm really freaking out about going to school tomorrow. Someone help me ;___;

I made a killing at Kohl's today. I bought so much cute stuff and spent only $50. I saved $247. I am amazing.

There was tons of Vera Wang and Elle shit on sale for like $4 and $5. I snatched that shit up. I found the absolute cutest little capelet to wear to the University Club. It has a giant bow on the front. It really reminds me of something you'd find in Audrey Hepburn's closet. I'm almost tempted to go back and maybe grab a few more things, but I know I shouldn't. Not until I pay the rest of my bills and buy my last textbook. lol my priorities.

I bought a box of dye (Brown/Black, my natural color) at Target today. I need to fix my hair. It's ridiculously faded now. Maybe red just isn't for me. I'm too lazy.

I start school tomorrow. I'm actually pretty nervous, to be honest. I don't know why. I'm afraid of getting lost or being late to a class or something. I dunno. I don't have to go to work tomorrow, so I'll figure it out or something. I have to talk to my advisor. I don't wanna :x


Pointless post is pointless.
