Craigslist is on to me
This weekend, for a few reasons, has been rough. I may or may not have just gotten “dressed” about an hour ago so I could sell something off Craigslist (made $75, yay!) and not look like a total sloth. Getting dressed basically involved changing out of flannel pajama pants and a thermal (it’s 74 degrees outside but you’d never know being inside my apartment) into a pair of lazy pants and the same shirt from yesterday (shut up, I plan on exercising in a bit and why dirty up a clean shirt?). Instead of brushing my hair I just pulled it back. I have had worse days but now Craigslist is calling me out when I’m posting stuff to verify that I’m a real person? Rude.
Yes I realize I’m “going shabbier” but now I’m starting to feel like, more than ever, the internets are on to me.
Breathing is exhausting, apparently
So it’s been 445 days since I last played the Wii Fit. This time around, it said I was underweight and let me choose a goal to increase my muscle mass in order to get a normal BMI. It makes me laugh because tonight I kinda binged on all the delightful things I bought at Trader Joe’s but apparently that weight won’t register until tomorrow.
Anyway, I played about 35 Wii Fit minutes of strength training, balance and aerobics before I decided to end with some yoga. The breathing exercise told me I was a yoga pro. The next one, half moon, also told me I was doing great. However, what the game didn’t realize was halfway through, the combination of just finishing aerobics and doing deep breathing got me very dizzy. Very very dizzy. I had to lie down on my bed to keep from passing out, all the while listening to the “instructor” telling me how great I was doing.
When I finally got done feeling like I was going to pass out entirely, I stood up, and then got all dizzy again. So back on the bed I went where I pressed a bunch of buttons until it told me I lost 95 lbs (I wasn’t standing on the board anymore), met my goal and should start another one. Crazy, and stupid. When the blackness faded, I turned that shit off.
I have to say I like the exercises mostly because they teach me the right way to stretch, and I like the little games they let me play so far. Now I’m determined to keep up my Wii Fit playing because a) I paid for it and have used it three times, maybe and b) I want to unlock more games.
I’ll miss these interactions
Too lazy to use words to express her desire to dismiss me, my mom resorted to making a space laser noise.
Me: You’re like a big kid, making noises.
Mom: (Staring at me for a moment) My double chin disappeared and went on your face!
Me: You’re like a rude, big kid.
Mom: (laughs)
Oh what a beautiful - AHHHHH!
I waited until my walk back from Safeway to take this photo because on the way there, a man would have seen what I was doing, and I didn’t want him to judge.
What’s more sad?
The fact that I used to be a big Barenaked Ladies fan, or the fact that this song popped up in iTunes the other day and seriously made me wanna die? I’ve always liked this song, but I guess I never paid much attention to the lyrics until now. And seriously, this pretty much sums up how things went for me, so I present to you my definitive Break up Song 2010, even though pretty much all songs are about break ups.

The bravest thing I’ve ever done
Was to run away and hide
But not this time, not this time
And the weakest thing I’ve ever done
Was to stay right by your side
Just like this time, and every time
I couldn’t tell you I was happy when you were gone
So I lied and said that I missed you when we were apart.
I couldn’t tell you, so I had to lead you on
But I didn’t mean to break your heart.
And if I always seem distracted
Like my mind is somewhere else,
That’s because it’s true
Yes it’s true
it’s this stupid pride that makes me feel
Like I have to follow through
Even half-assedly, loving you
Why must I always speak in terms of cowardice?
When I guess I should have just come out and told you right from the start
Why must I always tell you what I want is this?
I guess cause I wouldn’t want to break your heart
And you said;
“What’d you think that I was gonna do,
Curl up and die just because of you?
I’m not that weak, you know
What’d you think that I was gonna do,
Try to make you love me as much as I love you?
how could you be so low?
You arrogant man,
What do you think that I am?
My heart will be fine
Just stop wasting my time”
And now I’m over you, I’ll be ok
And that i’ve got what I want
And that’s rid of you
Bye
And it’s not cause I’ll be missing you
That makes me fall apart
it’s just that I didn’t mean to break
No, I didn’t mean to break
No, I didn’t mean to break
Your heart
Your heart
