If I Had $30
that sheep book would be mine. ^__^ But I'll get to that later. . .
So today, despite *still* feeling under the weather, Jen and I went to Starbucks and then to the Warwick Mall. We had a good long conversation about all sorts of stuff-- none of which I will cover here. :p And while we were there, "The Power of My Love" came on and I was like "I've never heard the real version before!" Yeah, I'm talking about a song from All Shook Up. I couldn't actually hear it that well and I wasn't going to stop our conversation (I'm not THAT obsessed!), but I know it didn't sound quite right without my beloved cast, hehe.
I had a good time and all, but I must admit it's a little weird having a friend on the other end of the ED spectrum. We both got tall frappuccinos, and I finished mine, but I don't think she even had half of hers. And then she decided to get food at the mall, so she ordered the 2-item combo from Panda Express-- and probably had two pieces of the chicken, a few of the vegetables, and like 3 forkfuls of noodles. I wasn't hungry, but considered asking if I could have the rest of her plate cuz there was so much left! haha Don't worry, I know she doesn't eat this way all the time. At her graduation party, for instance, she ate what I'd consider a normal amount. I think it was partly cuz her boyfriend was there and she's told me before that she does better when he's around.
**slightly graphic ED-and-me related, so. . .**
Today was a little scary for me too, but of course I didn't let it show. Then again, it's easier for me cuz *eating* isn't the problem. All I've had to drink at Starbucks for like the past year has been black coffee or nonfat drinks (but I've eaten plenty of their espresso brownies and cheesecake. . .don't ask how that makes ANY sense). Those were all I could trust myself to have. There was one day, in B&N, I was completely stressed out over whether or not to have a frappuccino and eventually I gave in. Bad idea--I couldn't handle it. Bookstore bathrooms are fairly nice to throw up in, but I don't recommend it. :p And of course I felt like shit afterwards, and decided I was definitely not having one ever again. I had one in NYC with Rich though, and then I had one today, and guess what? I didn't die! But although Jen and I have talked about our respective EDs before, and although we must have talked about everything else today, I didn't feel like getting into it again. I'll write about it til my fingers fall off, but I don't relish talking about it in person. ._.
**END**
Speaking of B&N, I went there tonight after dinner, more with the intent of reading some magazines than for journaling or whatever. I also looked through the sheep book again, and all that cuteness should NOT be allowed in one place! ^__^ Haha, Jen and I were looking around in Old Navy and we found a perfect pair of overalls and a straw-type hat I could wear to help realize my sheep-farming dream. Okay, *maybe* not. ;)
I definitely need a new critter in my life. Things haven't been the same since Toasty died (yeah, a lot less SCARY! haha). I won't consider getting something until I know where I'm living over the next few months though. I could always keep it at Rich's place, but then it's not the same. I think next time I *do* get a pet, it'll probably be a teddy bear hamster. Either that or another Siberian dwarf hamster. Black bear ones are apparently evil and the grey and white ones were never that healthy (ie. Moldy, who lost all her hair from some weird skin disease and Ms. Fiend, who had a tumor).
I actually went looking for Japanese beetles in my yard the other day-- probably my favorite childhood pets, hehe. I didn't find any though, so it was quite disappointing. I used to take care of beetles for weeks when I was a kid. They seemed content with the environment I had for them and feeding them blueberries always worked well. It's easy; just peel back some of the berry's skin and then place the beetle on the exposed fleshy part. They sit there and munch happily for awhile and then crawl away when they've had enough. There was one beetle I kept for 3 weeks in this way, and I actually let him go cuz it didn't seem right to keep him around any longer. I'm not sure what the Japanese beetle's lifespan is like, but that seemed pretty impressive at the time, hehe.
Well, that's enough semi-randomness for today. Tomorrow I'm working and my plans have slightly changed for Thursday. I'm going to URI to pick up a few books and then I'm going to Wakefield Starbucks in the morning cuz my Mom and I are (probably) going out to 7 Moons that night. Unless plans with my Mom change, I'm sticking to that instead. And as far as I know, Saturday is still free-- though I might be wrong, and it's possible that Rich is coming back Friday night, not Saturday night. Hmm. Well, just putting that out there, though most everyone I usually hang out with isn't in RI right now. >_<
I'll be online tonight as usual. Humor me. ;)
Also--
Matt: that's weird. Blogger didn't send me an email saying you had left a note, so I just noticed it. If you really do want the record player, let me remind you that I said I was considering giving it up, but I didn't say anything about it being free. ;)
And I *did* come up with some assassin questions, but I'm not quite done yet. I also gotta figure out which site I'll put it up on. It will happen eventually!
