Adventures at the GYM

I think this blog is long overdue, so I've decided to just sit down and write it while I wait for the foamy stuff to disinfect my bathroom countertop...

1. People who talk on the phone while walking on the treadmill. Now I understand that something might've come up at home or whatever, but this is not the "ok, I'll be right there, and call 911 on my way!" this is, "oh my gosh. you are kidding?!? I know. And then she said that he said that she said that she was actually going to go! I don't know. A manicure AND pedicure? I don't know if I have time for all of that- I need to be able to get to the gym on thursday, ya know."
Okay. That one, I could go on and on about all night.

2. Girls who use hairspray to perfect the 'do before taking Step class.

3. ugh. repeat # 2.

4. people who sit on a machine for an extended period of time and don't use it. I do understand the whole "rest between sets" concept. But I would think that in order for there to be a rest, there sould actually be a set...?

Well I guess that's pretty much it. Since I've called it quits on the "be a better person" new years resolution, I feel like I needed to write this blog. To really make sure that I'm for sure NOT a nice person.

I know, I know. But still...


When I first met him, I knew in a moment I would have to spend the next few days re-arranging my mind so there'd be room for him to stay.

MySpace

Well, I did it. I joined MySpace. Okay, okay. Wait. Before anyone freaks out (including me) let me state my rationale: if you are looking up old friends or trying to find people you went to highschool with, you can only do so much. You can't see pictures or leave a comment for them unless you're a member. It was really starting to bother me, so today (because I'm trying to keep myself awake until at least 8:30) I decided to just TAKE THE PLUNGE.

And here are some really interesting things I found out:
1. You can register as "swinger, in a relationship, single, divorced, married." Well really I was glad to see they put Swinger on there because otherwise we're leaving out an entire population...

2. on "sexual orientation" you can select Not Sure. Okay. Well I guess this whole "myspace registration" thing is really one way for you to get to know yourself.

3. I want to know why they ask for your income? Not that it really matters, I guess. I should make a stipulation on my "friends" list. You must make over $250,000 if you would like to associate with me on myspace.

More to come. I still have to finish registering...

and the most poinginent one yet

(I'm pretty sure I misspelled that word wrong. Just add it to the list!)

And how could I have forgotten the Anti-Gravity Chamber?

"How was your day today?"

"Pretty much like an anti-gravity chamber."

"Why?"

"Because everything in my life is so up in the air right now..."

Now that's a GOOD one!

Pebbles, Bubble Wrap, and other things my day is like

The Storyteller came to school the other day and completely changed my life!! He explained how he got really tired of people's response to "how is your day?" with "GOOD!" or even "FANTASTIC!" He then did this exercise with the class about comparing your day to things. Here are the past few days:

Thursday: My day was like a pebble on the sidewalk. Why? I was feeling a little unnoticed and maybe even kicked around a bit.

Friday: My day was like Bubble Wrap. Why? Because if one more person were to put any sort of pressure on me, I was going to POP!

Tuesday: My day started out like a loaf of bread. Why? See "2dogsandahusband" (a.k.a. Just Dying to Remain Annonymous).

Tuesday Evening: My day is like a ball of string. Why? It just seems to be unravelling by the minute!

There ya have it. It's kind of fun once you get the hang of it... I highly recommend it.
