Huh, this looks like a good way to work up to those handstand pushups I was thinking about last night.

would be an independent wealthy physical therapist. Independently wealthy so that he doesn’t have to work unless he wants to but can still buy me things and have the energy and desire to use his PT skills on me. All over me. All the time.

Yes, chronic foot pain is currently keeping me awake and thinking of these things.

In addition to the wealth and skill, it would be ideal if this man enjoyed shopping for groceries and cooking, and the same tv shows and movies I enjoy, and working out in all and any way possible as much as possible. Because then we could basically do everything I enjoy doing together (in the little time I’m not busy with school), and he could feed me.

Mostly though, I think I just want someone to make my foot feel better and be here in my bed at night to make me sleep.

The rest would be gravy. Really really amazing gravy.

Doing these tomorrow.

Sage words from my third year friend after I recounted the epic mess that was meeting a friend of another friend tonight. Really, the mess was so epic (and is unfortunately not even finished yet) that it’s not worth writing the whole thing out here, so I’ll just say that I reconnected with friend R at the wedding last weekend, and she decided to set me up with her hot friend from high school who lives here now. He is hot, and according to her he is “wonderful” and a lot of fun and she had a huge crush on him for four years blah blah blah. Anyway, our attempt at meeting for a quick drink and happy hour tapas tonight (after I spent the day studying diarrhea at school) very VERY quickly degenerated into ridiculousness—including drunk him and his two drunk friends (they spent the day booze cruising), too much driving, looking for parking, and waiting (while parked illegally) with the (annoying) friends while hottie tried to steal everyone food from the kitchen in the (gay) bar he tends. Not to mention all the walls I had to climb, and all the walking, with my incredibly painful foot (adding injury to insult, I swear).

Anyway, it’s true: I need a stable hook up. While friend R thought hottie and I could be good friends, potentially with benefits, that plan is pretty much out the window. He gets a pass for tonight because he was drunk and I wasn’t, and he was better (i.e. nicer, smarter, less douchey) than his friends…but that pass is quickly running out as I type this and wait for him to come get the stuff that he forgot in my car. He’s keeping me up later than I want to be and no, I won’t go drive it to him after carting him and his friends all over Waikiki! Honestly, it remains to be seen if I can even be just friends with this guy. If it’s always gonna be like tonight, there is no fucking way.

No Strings Attached with Natalie Portman playing a resident was so dead on. As third year said: “it’d be acceptable if we were in college and able to have fun…you just want someone who will be jn your bed waiting when you finally get home…if he’s coming home drunk and waking YOU up for sex. No. Absolutely not.”

Ugh. Hot, stable hook up…where are you!?

Well, the protein powder that I’ve been using isn’t on this list, which could be a good or a bad thing.

Regardless, stuff like this is good to keep in mind when you’re trying to be healthy, and have to supplement to get enough protein (whether due to time or caloric/dietary restraints).

(And I’ve been working my ass. Debated posting a picture…not sure about that though.)

My foot pain has progressed from “chronic” to “acute chronic” in the past week—I might actually have to go to a pain specialist if this continues.

I’m exhausted, overwhelmed, behind.  I feel pulled in too many directions by too many people—I’m trying to remember how to say no and focus on what I need to do for myself.  Feel like I’m struggling to keep my head above water, but I’m still treading.  Still here.

So I’ll let the music take me to a place of focus, I’ll chip away at the seemingly insurmountable pile of studying that threatens to drown me, and I’ll pray my computer survives through finals.

I’ll try to stay positive, to be nice, to be who I want to be.

I have a job interview in a few hours…it’s time to dig in.

Someone teach me how to do this.

THIS IS ME.

Plane snacks.

…though I suppose that no one has actually been using “intention” incorrectly around me. Perhaps my contempt for the word stems not only from its syllabic excess, but also because my personality tends to be one of intent rather than intention.

Regardless, yes, I am a complete nerd.
