write to my penpal
hmm 3 months ago

You know.. I’ve written her twice and have never sent the letters?
I just don’t know what to do about it.
I don’t think we’re as compatible as I once thought we were.
The more I hear from her, the more I’m like, “eh..”

I want someone that is basically a stranger. A picture… a face to put with a name.
And that’s it. I want to get to know each other because of the letters, not because of Facebook or Myspace or anything else of the sort.

Any takers?



Get a Great Dane
will be a while 5 months ago

About a month ago, I came across some Australian Shepherds that were for sale, and I fell in love with one… so I got it.
She’s a little more practical for where I am in life right now because she won’t need to eat as much, and she will be a lot easier to keep in the house… since I share an apartment with roommates. :)
I will get one, though, one day! I’ve wanted one ever since I was little… It will probably just have to be once I get out of school and have a real job.



lose more weight
slowly, but surely 14 months ago

Every time I go to the doctor (which has been a lot here recently :( unfortunately), I have lost a pound or two. I’m not really exercising or anything like I used to because I have become lazy, but I want to start doing yoga, and I have changed my eating habits a lot. Since I am back at school, I buy all of my own groceries, so I make sure that I get healthy things for meals and to snack on. Also, since I refuse to spend $75 on a parking decal, I walk from my apartment to campus everyday and am constantly walking all over the place until I get back home. I would estimate that I walk at least 3 miles a day. That isn’t a lot considering that when I used to go to the gym I’d do 5 miles, but it is a significant amount… and it is better than what I did most of the summer while I was home (sat on the sofa and watch Planet Green).

I am down to 132 give or take a pound depending on the time of day I am weighed…
I want to be 120 or 115.

I thought that I would be happy at 130, which was kind of my goal when I first started losing weight last year, but because of my body type, I just don’t look the way I want to. I’m only 5’3, and though I’m not fat, I could stand to lose a few more pounds and still be in a healthy range for my height.
