This morning our dove treated us with dove head.

A rare kinda meme: How does my online impression differ from how I appear IRL?

By my math, I should have lost 2-5 lbs in the past 2 weeks. However, the scale shows I've only lost half a lb. I want to make excuses, "But I've been so good!" I like my math better than my reality. I'm still getting stronger and my stamina higher, and I'm thrilled that since school let out it is coming back so very fast (lots of effort paying off), but I'm still not losing as quickly as I hoped. Scary is the 5 day a week classes starting next week, and their impact on my recovered gains. How much will I lose? How quickly will it come back next time?

Last night in class the 20-something year old girl who turned out to be 17 was beside me while we did stamina drills. I chided her because her car was covered in temporary spray pain - seems she's got a lot of friends, the kind who vandalize your car when it's your 17th birthday. She noted it was actually her dad's car, but she wasn't going to complain because she did it to one of the vandalizing friends. I said "Oops...oh that was temporary paint!? I...I didn't know. I just thought it was ok to join in...didn't know that other stuff would come off!" Heh. But that's not the point...while we were doing stamina drills she asked "How old are you again?" 38, (laughs). "I hate you." This makes me feel good. She's 17 and very athletic (part of why I thought she was in her 20s, very muscular, figured the pimples were herpes) and thinks I'm hard to keep up with in class.

Odd was her classmate, teammate, or friend who came to class. He was a big fellow, the type who could be strong but never svelte. He was awful. He was uncoordinated and not in good enough shape to keep up with anything we did, but he dropped out after 30 seconds of each exercise. All sorts of people come to the class - from the very athletic to the wholly unfit, and many don't make it through their first class without breathers, but this guy just keep quitting. He also walked up and tried to talk to the girl every time she talked to me or I gave her form pointers. I pictured myself in his shoes, wondering how awkward I was at that age if I had a crush. Once again, because I can't get tired of pointless reflections, I considered popularity based on looks vs. being active in activities and generally nice. He was an annoying dork, and were I not once the same (how much of one I can't accurately guess) I would just want to blow him off. She has always been nice and modest that I've seen, but is clearly not interested in the goof. Makes me wonder about the "bitches and snobs" from my memories. Were they?

Of course to my reputation - I won't bother molesting the girl because she lives in VA. I only molest little girls and boys when I first have to arrange to transport them across state lines through proceedings I arrange on the internet. Just this last weekend I snuck this azn girl up from Texas and got her into the sex club with a fake ID, oh now those were some fun felonies - the navy boys made it even more fun. I have my standards, you know.

We've confirmed that the man downstairs does in fact move his car into the closest parking space whenever he is home and someone moves out of it. Can you imagine? He's terribly proud of his 5 year old acura; how very sad he must be.

In boring health news, I'm worried that one of my arches is falling. I read up on the subject when I noticed that my shoes were starting to feel weird on one side - feeling the shoe on my arch where I didn't used to. I've set up an appt to see my gen doc, who may send me to a specialist. HMO problem - it takes 2-4 times as many visits when you can't just see a specialist right off the bat. This would explain all the problems with shin splints - so it could be good if I can figure out how to fix the problem, awful if this is just something I have to live with forever with stupid inserts in my shoes. What if I can't run and box? What if only surgery fixes the problem? Ugh.

In even more boring news, I've decided to pay off my student loans in flat-out cash and then pay down my 2nd mortgage with the leftovers. Even though the student loan has lower interest, it's not deductible in my bracket. I don't anticipate leaving my job anytime soon, and after reading the conditions by which they will approve student loan payments and the officials the requests go through, I don't think I have a snowball's chance. Most government jobs and even private employment firms seem to require 3-5 years experience post-bar anyway. So I'll keep learning and become more fluent in this work - perhaps stay here forever loving it, perhaps get my 1337 skills and run if they treat me like poop on a stick.

Just thinking out loud.
