Some Notes

Dear Frohike,

Isn't it funny?

I don't know how I made it to 19 without you.

Fanks for being there when I'm whiny.

And when I'm sad and lonely.

And when I have the mean reds.

And when I have weird dreams that are too inappropriate to share with anyone.

And for every other time that I can tell you anything, even when it's dumb.

(Especially when it's dumb.)
And for being the only person who understands me completely musically.

If you were a boy, I'd chase you to the ends of the earth.

Thank goodness you're not, so I can just have you whenever I want without having to worry about all those complicated emotions.

Come back soon.

Because I miss you.

(And I'm getting the mean reds and you're so good at keeping them away.)

Love, Mulder

Dear Word Girl,

Really? Japan? It's so so far!

But not even a whole ocean could change my love for you.

Hurry home with lots of stories to tell me.

My love for you is like a loving river of loving love.

Dear Boy,

Really? No.

I do not want to be your friend.

Today.
Maybe tomorrow.

You are a male siren in all your hot glory. I'm plugging my ears.

Dear 30 Rock,

Thanks for making me laugh out loud last night.

Dear Danielle,

You are amazing.

From Swan Princess to Spanish help to German pancakes.

I need you there for all of it.

Best neighbor ever.

Dearest Michelle,

Our dinner party is going to be the classiest opening event of the Spring season.

I can't wait.

Dear Utah,

Giving me a ticket was stupid.

I did not cause that wreck!!!!

Dear Legs,

Suck it up.

Walking and bicycling is good for you.

If you behave, I'll find you a good running trail and maybe take you hiking.

Dear Body,

Thanks for slimming down and tanning so nicely.

You're looking good these days.

Dear San Francisco,
I'm looking for schools and apartments.
I'll be back soon.

Dear A Fine Frenzy,

Could you get any better?
I want to be you, Alison Sudol.

Uncomfortable

Do one thing every day that scares you.
~Eleanor Roosevelt

Everyday last week, I ran into this quote somewhere or another.
It started to get annoying.
And then I started to think about it.

What do I do that makes me uncomfortable? What do I do that scares me?

The answer is nothing.
I like my comfort zone.
I stay in it perpetually.

Time for a new me.
Time to be someone that is not afraid of adventures or exciting things or new things.
Time to widen my horizons.

I started on Saturday with a ponytail. I hated ponytails. I was afraid of how they would look on me. I was afraid of them because I had never tried one. So I wore one to pilates class on Saturday. And what do you know? It was very good and very convenient. So when my hair is straight, I will be wearing more ponytails.

On Sunday, I studied with someone. I have never studied with someone before. I'm the kind of person who does a lot better learning alone. Or so I thought. But when a cute boy wants to study for religion class, you don't say no. And I loved it. I remember everything we went over, which is a first for me. I will studying with people more. Or just with cute boys more.

Monday I went to a 6:00 am spinning class. Need I say more? It hurt SO BAD! But it was worth it. I felt so good the rest of the day.
I will be spinning again.

Today I haven't decided what to do, but I promise to keep it up.
Pretty soon, I won't be scared of anything.

The Follies of Exercise

Today, in an endeavor to be healthy, I got the exercise ball I received for Christmas out of my suitcase and proceeded to pump it up.

After 30 minutes of pumping and two very sore arms/chest later, I decided that that was enough of a workout for me.

Seriously?

Who made that little pump?

It's killer!

So if I look like Popeye next time you see me, don't be surprised.
