Death Class-- I mean, Kickboxing Class.
Went to my first one today and died endured it to the end. No amount of running, climbing, soccer or just working out in the gym prepared me for this. Okay, maybe as a unit they all have their contributions. But still! The instructor was crazy jacked— it was pretty damn intimidating. Nonetheless, my whole body is sore already and it feels so freakin’ good.
Now all I want to do is play...

- Text from my friend Dylan. Not sure why I found this so funny— but my attempts to stifle my laughter got some weird looks in the library.
On another note: I need less violent and more docile friends.

Doin' the math
I just realized that I’ve spent a total of about 22 hours in the library over the course of 3 days.
6 hours on Sunday
9 hours on Monday
7+ hours today
The plus side is that after tonight, I’ll be done with all my exams and big presentations/projects until next week. Another plus is that Fall break is this weekend (4 days!) and since my plans got changed, my friend Colin is taking...

Campus Security.
I decided to work out seeing as I’d finished all my work and didn’t really feel like hanging out with anyone or sitting around. I spent a good 3 hours running, playing with my bike and then having some good ol’ everyday is an ab day workout in the sport complex’s parking lot.
At my campus, the security rolls around in their cruisers while some other “student...

Just call me: "Medical Mystery Woman"
[best superhero ever]
Over the course of 6 weeks I’ve barely been able to eat— it actually hurts to keep/get food down. Even more odd is the fact that I since it began I have yet to feel hungry and that the food that manages to go in, runs right through me— thus causing me to lose about 10 pounds, even with the gaining of muscle from running/climbing/cycling. After blood tests,...

Weekend with the boy.
Even though he still claims to have enjoyed it— plans all set but not exactly executed in the way I had imagined— I was a bit disappointed by most of it falling through. Nonetheless I couldn’t have been more happy to see him. Amidst my leaving for Florida by the end of the week as well as the amount of [or lack of] time we’ve had to be able to spend together during the...

Hyped!
The upcoming week is either going to be the best ever or the worst—whether or not it goes down, depends on my health. The fact that lately majority of my plans have been falling through isn’t a good start either.
Monday: Neurologist and maybe gastroenterologist. I’m broken. Possibly going up to Utica to see Ziggy.
Tuesday: Hiking with Nicole so she can break in her new hiking...

Cool cats in NYC
Cool cats as in me of course. Feeling a bit “off” lately so I think tomorrow is going to consist of Museum of Natural History and/or Museum of Sex (or will it look too pervy going by myself? Maybe I’ll bring a friend…), grabbing some noms from the Taco and/or Dumpling trucks, Governor’s Island and then maybe stop by Brooklyn Boulders. All this of course whilst dodging...

Ugh.
My head hurts so much it feels like I’m literally going to hurl. Seeing as I’ve barely been able to keep food down, that’s not an issue. I can’t get this odd smell out of my nose. It’s like last year all over again.

Today's Morning Routine:
[probably should do more often but too much of a bum to wake up so early everyday]
Run on the trail— 7-8 miles. Majority uphill. DEATH.
Trip over self. Multiple times.
Yoga on a picnic table with paintings that are supposed to resemble roses or Trix cereal.
“Everyday is an ab day” workout. MORE DEATH.
Silly jumping jacks on aforementioned roses/Trix table.
Tackled by...

Lose-Win Situation.
Found myself in such a low, off-mood, that I decided to chop off my nails (they’ve been so pretty I didn’t want to /facepalm) and break out my guitar for the first time in a month. It made me even more depressed to realize that I’ve ignored my baby for such a long time. I need to learn something new before I asplode. The callouses are now forming over my climbing callouses. As...

Google+
You better not creep me out and chase me away like Facebook did 4 years ago. But dang, so far I am loving your interface. The things that I love about Google+ is the fact that you can fully control your privacy settings (unlike Facebook’s: On or Off type of settings), the stalker aspects from FB didn’t migrate to this [yet] and how well the various aspects of Google have been...

Dear West Coast,
I’m going to live in you one day. And you’re gonna like it. I’ll start from Arizona and work my way out. 2012, baby. This would probably be the best change for me— apart from having to leave the country. I want to surf, skate and ride my motorcycle in some warm weather for the time being— Florida, you’re not an exception, because I don’t like you. For...

Curly Fries.
Currently have the worst mixture of a stomach ache and cramps from eating a giant plate of curly fries dipped in various combinations of honey mustard, ketchup and ranch dressing followed by 4 cups of coffee (or moreover sugar with coffee). I just sat in a diner for hours talking to my friend, Kim, about the weirdest subjects— most of which revolved around sex, THC, insecurities, and...

Brown.
Returned from the sea this afternoon. Spent a few days in the woods and on the beach with some friends— actually most of those who went are ones that I’ve barely talked to over the past few years— but nonetheless it was nice to catch up and mix it up for once. So why the title “Brown”? Because 4 days of biking on trails, running around the beach and getting engulfed...

Veggie Burgers.
My friend just asked me what type of veggie burgers they should stock up for our local supermarket (which is basically 3 minutes away from my house). Meaning: I got them to get on “teh best” burgers ever and I don’t even need to search around for them at Mrs. Green’s (which is about 30 mins away), nor have to pay a ridiculous price for them. Mwahahaha!

Packing.
Disappearing again for a few days: Bethany Beach, DE. Getting a house for a few days with some friends and living on the beach for the majority of the time. Summer is one of my least favorite seasons for a few reasons (ie: I absolutely DESPISE humidity and heat) but one of the exceptions of it is if I’m near a body of water— thus meaning I get to buy cute bikinis (yeah I’m a...

That awkward moment...
when I’m trying to pick out lingerie and an old friend/guy I dated triggers a full on sneak attack with the hugging, lifting into the air and yelling— thus resulting in everyone in the store to stare. Panties in hand, en garde for all to see.

New York Air Show @ Jones Beach
Every year they have an air show— and each year I’m always doing something or don’t have a way to get down here. I want to go so badly because this is what some can call: “Chui Porn” (don’t get any wrong ideas). U.S. Army Golden Knights Parachute Team, B-17’s, B-25’s, B-29 Bombers from WWII, Wounded Warriors Flight Team, etc, etc (but not...

Running in the rain.
I fucking love it. Of course I don’t enjoy the soggy shoes in the morning and the mix of sweat, mud and who-knows-what when I go to do my laundry; I still love that feeling of the rain dripping off of me, mixing with sweat and sliding off my body, dripping from my fingers each time I pull my arms forward, the mud flicked onto the back of my calves, and spraying onto the back of my shirt. The...

It's been too long.
Finished my first draft of coding and new dress came in the mail— now listening to some Flying Lotus, drinking tea, nommin’ on some cookies, and drawing. Man, this feels so good. What would make this night even more perfect: cuddling, ginger beer, a newspaper, Haribo and new guitar strings— if only. I’m sorry for the disappearing act, I’m attempting to eliminate my...

Outlook:
I’m not going to get married. I’m not going to have kids. If I do have a child, it will be out of adoption. I won’t have a permanent place of residence for more than 2 years at a time. I’ll work for a search and rescue unit as a pilot. If that fails and I somehow get injured, I’ll be a constant on-the-road graphic designer or production manager. I’ll get a dog...

On the road again.
[Metaphorically speaking]
About 2 hours ago I decided/bought my ticket to go to Michigan. Right now I’m picking up, packing up and leaving in about an hour. This means that I’m going to have to postpone [and extend] my aforementioned post about my trip(s). Is it smart that this is basically only a few days before my exams and I’ll probably have no time to study? No, probably...

Daytona Beach Airport @ 4am.
Yeah..kind of forgot to say something about me disappearing for two weeks. On my trip that was supposed to be around the midwest, turned out that I would be making a stop in Daytona Beach, Florida for a few days. Checked out some places, got hit on by an unusually large amount of guys (note to self: traveling to DB alone— interesting), kind-of-almost-ish went to Disney World and successfully...

Skydiving.
Since I’m going to be in the Champaign/Urbana and Chicago area for a few days I’m considering going skydiving with some guys from U.Illinois. If I like it enough, there may be the possibility of my joining their skydiving club [yes, you heard right…skydiving club]. Seeing as my body is practically falling apart, skydiving could retain its position as my less strenuous hobby/sport...

Hurt By Johnny Cash.
Why am I doing this to myself? I just found myself listening to depressing music for the past 2 hours and thinking about how cold it was but how hot I felt and how badly I needed a tissue.
I need to not be sick, finally figure out how I’m going to finish this lab tonight, answer these e-mails, schedule a meeting with the dean and plan my trip (SO STOKED). All in all today was a joke,...

Relationships.
Warning:This is one of my rants&rambles, where you’ll read things that you probably don’t care about, about me and what goes through my head. So just scroll/move past this. I just need a place to put my thoughts. Relationships. They’re not a science. I like to think it’s more around the vicinity of art. Whether it’s in the intimate context or just as companions,...

Stencil Memes.
It’s come to my attention or moreover, I have been forced to create some stencils of memes by my friend Jared. For some of you in the New York City area: Philosoraptor is coming on a street corner near you in Spring 2011. It’s going to end up being a hit or miss but we’ll see what happens and how much I like it.
