Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

Target is exciting.

I too need a haircut. Desperately. But I'm soooper poor this month as I have NOT gotten paid this month for summer school. Feh.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Target is exciting.

Even more so now that I don't have easy access to one. sob

Yes, Suzi should come along on Saturday.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm toying with leaving my hair natural for my mother, just so she can see it in person--she's been waiting more than a decade for it. And then I bleach it. But I don't want to interview with my hair dark--I don't want anyone to be surprised.

Don't want to interview so soon anyway. I don't want to work earlier than mid September. But two recruiters have mentioned two kinda neat companies so far. Though one is in Burbank...that mitigates things.

Didn't make it to Deb's reading. Physical therapy just about ended, and my head is tired. Almost typed turd. Maybe they are getting me down.

I need to go research the timing of the track and field. Now I know why my father can visit me in August. He's waiting until after we've done battle on that particular venue. Should I have a complex from a life playing second fiddle to buff strangers? Which reminds me I really wish I had the energy to hit the gym. PT showed me that I am a waif compared to, you know, me.

I SO need a haircut, but at the moment Kirsten would be WAY too expensive.

The upside would be that you would be closer to me. And if you were thinking about moving....cheaper places are cropping up around here.

OK, I am 12. There doing more swimming, and they just referred to somebody as "possibly the greatest breaststroker of all times." I snickered.

Can I whine? I need to whine. Over stupid shit, not relevant important stuff. My bras are too big. Makes the girls hurt and my back itch. Pants are too big and look like shit, nevermind the whole walk-out-of-them issue. And yet, I have a skirt from previous weight I can't get into. STUPID.

I hate shopping. Even with shoppers I adore. And I don't trust that this weight-loss will last, despite it being all sane and sensible (I didn't DO anything on purpose. Just got really picky about food. But somehow, I am 25 lbs down. Which puts me at what I was in 2000, where I was good with that.)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've been watching some old gymnastics clips on youtube, and I realized that, in the older clips, you couldn't hear all the thumps on the landings and such. They must have some really sensitive mics there now -- there was one pommel horse routine where I could hear his legs brushing against the side of the horse, and every landing now sounds huge.

Also, when did they change the uneven parallel bars? If you look at Nadia Comaneci's bar routine from 1976 [link] , the bars were much closer together than they are now.
