So the irony was that I decided against going to the alt-gay night taint, and instead watched logo since they were showing Billy's hollywood screen kiss. Uh, if I'm gay from the privacy of my own home, does that make me a republican?

I hit the gym this am and tried to vary my workout. Results are mixed - resistance while doing abs is a winner, but I didn't get as much burn as I'm used to. Still, I was damn tired after 10 minutes rather than 30. I think I'm going to need to really practice that. I only did one bench session, thinking it's silly to do 4 exercises all on the chest. Instead I reminded myself of the 45 deg incline press, ow. I kinda hurt myself, but doing an old exercise of mine - the simple shoulder shrug. I thought my neck was tight but it has been for some time and I'm sick of babying it. Well, during the warmup something went TWINGE and that was the end of the shoulder stuff. I know not to push past an injury, even if I don't know what hte hell it is. I moved to squats and dead lifts, with very little weights. Paying homage to HS, I did 3 sets of 10 nyah nyah. First I squatted the bar alone, then with quarters, then 3 sets at a single plate. I want to make sure i can do this before I do weight. I only deadlifted quarters, since all I know about deadlifts are what I've seen other people do, youtube, and recent web searches. It was fun, doing this new stuff. I just have to make sure I still get tired, grow, and don't hurt myself.

A friend, joking and not, noted that I've been in school so damn long that my friends' lives have changed. Specifically, they don't party and/or club 3 times a week. My first thought, you wussies, was to get me some new friends! However, this weekend has pretty much been spent sitting around talking with friends (I include watching spice world in that grouping). Sitting around talking with friends is probably my favorite thing, or perhaps my favorte thing that is legal. So, instead of making new friends (but you best behave, I haven't necessarily made up my mind) I am going to remind myself that sometimes you have to stir things up yourself. I'm much more likely just to be invited to the party or know the club night - I'm spoiled that way. Now, I think I'm going to use electronic communication devices more, set up food things, coffee things, and otherwise nudge my old, married, spawn-rearing, employed, school re-attending, and otherwise worthless friends into action - since they are there to amuse me. Foods will be eaten, diet rules will be kept & broken, drinks will be had (boozy & not), and conversations will take place. This I vow. Well, maybe promise. Well, promise to try. Or um, well I might. Don't hold me to it.

Well, now off to the damn hospital.
