I can hardly believe I have not updated since the 10th! I usually tool around on SG when I really SHOULD be doing other "more important" (insert dignified cough here) things" like Homework or Cleaning or Reading of books. Ah, well, so let me think of where to start.
Okay.
I am officially exhausted with winter. I suppose most people call it 'rainy season' which is more accurate-it literally rains half the year here in Portland. It's quite enjoyable of you are a "the sun is evil because it will give me wrinkles and skin cancer" type of person, which I am. It is lovely to sit in coffee shops with a cuppa and a good book, peering out the window at people with umbrellas and the rain falling....ahhh...BUT,
if you are a 24/7 365 bicyclist like yours truly, it gets old, fast. I kind of feel like one of these:
The sky opens up and releases sheets of water that drench me to the bone, with very little warning. The temperature drops 20 degrees in a matter of hours. The rainfall record is about to be broken: the wettest month of January in 25 years. Wow.
My classes are taking their toll. I am only taking 8 credits and attending 2 days a week, but add to that 40+ hours or work, nagging illness, a sweet tooth, and a bad habit of procrastinating and you've got one grumpy K8. Go figure.
If I could kick myself in the ass, I'd do it. Perhaps I should hire someone to do it for me. I need to "get my shit together" as we say. My goals for 2006 are well under way:
I have made more friends and attended more social events. People seem to like me.
I am back in school, and although I am struggling to finish homework, I AM back in school.
I have curbed my outrageous spending habits and limited myself to eating out only once a week.
I have, however, fallen off the exercise wagon and I relapsed into sugar abuse. I am hoping that a new exercise class I am starting on the 14th will help with that. The class is called Stripper 101. I will be working out, learning the sexy sexy moves, and hopefully flattening the pudge that is my belly.
Some "friends" of mine are moving to my city after being away for a year. I have not spoken to them in 3 years. It is a group of fellas whom I am very fond of, and we kinda just lost touch. We are all very changed people, and I am looking forward to a reunion. I'm really hoping we can rekindle friendships and my social anxiety doesn't get in the way of that. I'm nervous and excited to see them. We've been myspacing it for a few weeks now, and as I type this they are driving a U-haul truck across the big U.S. of A.
I've had the tattoo itch for a while now, and have been repressing it for months because I've not had the $$. Next up are the wrists, I do declare. We'll see what comes of it.
Kisses, K8
P.S. Anyone have tips for applying false eyelashes??

I'm enjoying the rain so far but that's because I hate the sun. I do have to wash my jackets a lot more often though.
