As a minor note, I'm stronger than I used to be at least. I went to the gym again, even though technically today is a down day as I've had many restaurant calories of yummy fat. I stretched, popped onto a treadmill, and tried not to gawk at all the hotties. I put the incline at 5 and ran slightly faster than 10 minute miles for 30 minutes breathing through my nose. Huh. Then I did some arm thingys I didn't get in yesterday, came back and ate utter crap. Still - I used to die trying, often failing, to run 3 10-minute miles on the machine. Now it's something I can do with relative ease. I'm proud that I've improved that much.

Did my depo today - pauses don't just weird out the deponent - they make the reporter look at you weird. I am used to being looked at weird, so this is not an issue for me at all.

No goth clubs in the area, but I kinda wanna go out and do something. Anyone wanna party in or around chattanooga tonight? Should I hit the tattoo parlor around the corner and see if I can grab a skank for the night? Oh - tattoos are so nnormal here that there are female instructors in the gym with sleeves. You can tell I'm a freak for being a) pale, and b) un-inked.

What should I do tonight? Drink alone in the dark? Watch tv? 1&2? Shop at walmart? Hit discount stores and try to find better clothes? Use up all my hotel moisturizer? Figure out more exercises to do in the 24/7 gym? Practice hitting on people in the gym to get used to what "No way, Jose" sounds like? Write motions for work? Research stocks? Play LOTR2 (most likely)? Stuff? Not stuff?

Stop typing and hit the showers boy...it's obvious you want to feel connected with your peeps and that's why you feel the need to babble incessantly on the computer, but the reality is you're not connected - you're alone in a hotel room. Get comfortable with that. Shut up and shower.

Yay. but why the no mouth breathing? (ignoring the obvious joke).

I live for the obvious. Well, it's harder on the diaphram, I didn't realize I was doing it that way until I got panty enough to want to, and in boxing/fighting opening your mouth to breathe can lead to problems so you practice a lot with nose-breathing or mouthguards in. I guess the other idea is that if I can do it nose-breathing I can do more otherwise. I wasn't sure I could do 10 minute miles at all, so the whole experience was a pleasant surprise (I haven't been on a treadmill in years, just running outside).

Mostly just because I could.

Hey it's not a 7 minute mile, but I'm still kinda happy that I did it - I really was not able to a few years ago. It's nice when you see how you've improved.

Having tatoos is more normal than not having them. Pretty much only the elderly here don't have them. By elderly I mean anyone around 50. (NO I'm not kidding because even some of them have them.)

aw.
