Progress...
Yikes, big ol poker game tonight. Ended up even after four or so hours, after everyone else but one guy had been cleaned out. Needless to say one guy took home a nice share of the pot. That's generally what happens though, eventually it'll be me. :)
Played a foursome in racquetball today, including the best girl I've played with so far in the few years I've been hammerin away... She and I ended up winning a game and keeping the other two pretty close against two better than decent guys, pretty impressive I'd say.
Starving again, and its taking a lot of willpower not to eat the muffins/cookies in my drawer. Last night I had to basically slap myself to keep myself from doing it, managed to survive until the morning. I figure as long as I don't eat before bed, and exercise daily, I shouldn't have any problem reaching my goal.
200 flat said the scale, it'll be my first time under the dual century mark in at least a few months. 180 is the goal, here I come!

Twenty Pounds...
What do ya think, by January 1st? Think I'm gonna make that my goal. Who knows if I'll get to it, but I'll at least make a strong effort.
No more late night eating, overeating at meals, eating out all the time. More exercise daily, more sleep at normal hours.
I've said this before, I'll probably say it again. :/
202.5 said the scale today. We'll see where it takes us. Anyone want to join the crusade? Feel free, its a big ol party. :)

SHHHHH Here He Comes...
Just had quite the awkward experience. One of those times when you walk into a room and someone has their back to you and is saying something, and the other person in the room motions/signals/whispers for that person to be quiet, given your approaching presence. That's actually the first time I've been in that situation in a while. Not entirely sure what was being discussed, but it didn't seem positive.
Kind of annoying.
Immediately following my entrance I was asked quite the random question about whether I would date one of my friends (the one who had been talking when I came in), one of those questions you can't answer at all without changing things in one direction or another. Once the question is out there, things are already different, whether the change is miniscule or mind boggling. I was honest, that's what I expect from myself.
To tell you the truth, in a lot of people's books I'm "dating" a lot of my friends, just because I do things alone with them like movies, dinners, or the like. Some people just can't handle that two people of opposing gender thing without getting "weird." Its just never been a problem for me. I think if I actually had the remotest hunch that the person might be interested, the thought would at least cross my mind, but without reciprocation there's no reason to bother.
Only got bout an hour of sleep last night, and another hour nap during the day, guess I'll take another nap before the intramural game. Looks like we're going to be short tonight, or at most have the minimum number of players, so I'll be dying running around out of shape again. Really need to do something about that.

Grand Theft Log
I hear that's goin around, so I decided to continue the trend...
1 minute ago: I was reading a log of someone I've never met.
1 hour ago: I was blissfully asleep.
1 day ago: I was out eating, as I tend to do when people decide they're willing to make snack runs at 3 in the morning to Jack's, Carl's, Freebird's, Carrows, or any number of other late night hangouts.
1 month ago: I was belting out Livin on a Prayer with the top down on the freeway, challenging the wind to make me deaf.
1 year ago: I was lighter.
5 minutes ago: I was rolling over, thinking "please tell me its like 7am so I can get up and just get ready for the midterm and the day and whatever else," and seeing the clock say 1:45.
5 hours ago: I was still trying to get my tv capture card to work, having goten everything working except for when it tries to capture audio, which eliminates the whole purpose of using my computer to archive stuff.
5 days ago: I got a compliment. From a girl. Wow. Rare.
5 weeks ago: I was getting pulled over. For having my license plate light out.
5 months ago: I was realizing college was half over. Depressing.
5 years ago: I was lighter. Like, way lighter. I was also in shape. People sometimes ask if you could repeat a part of your life, would you. I like to think that I have no regrets in life, but I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't do certain things differently the second time around. Yeah, I'd go back to sophmore year in high school. I'd keep running. I'd know then what I know now. I'd know I wasn't immune to getting out of shape. I'd know that there WAS room for another fifty pounds on my body. I'd avoid like the plague the essay prompt I chose for Academic Deacthlon my senior year. That's still the most depressing single event of my life to this day. I wouldn't have worked any harder in school though. I'm not ashamed of where I go to college, I'm happy here. If anything, I would have slacked more, getting by with whatever was necessary, nothing more, enjoying life even more than I did.
That's the point, after all?

If You're Sexy And You Know It Clap Your Hands...
Busy shakin my booty over here to 112 - Dance With Me, quite a catchy lil rhythmn there. [awaits the hoots and giggles]
More problems with XP, turns out the TV card I bought today has some issues with it, corrupt video, hoping I'll call up tomorrow and they'll have some sort of workaround for me, otherwise its all about the refund/exchange back at CompUSA... gr. Gotta love 15% restocking open box fees. Hurray.
Watched Chicken Run tonight, and unfortunately its yet another in the string of not as good as I thought it would be movies I've been watching lately. I guess when I watch an animated movie I expect Disney quality/funniness, and when I watch a computer generated or stop motion one I'm expecting Pixar, and I guess the trend when watching other productions tends to be lackluster. Ah well if all movies were perfect we wouldn't know what perfect was.
Hooray for three day weekends.
Found a really amazingly good read of a log a couple days ago, got linked to from another one that I read. Its basically a string of overheard conversations and sound bites, about all manners of issues, very eloquent in the way it's written.
One day I'll figure out how to add in links here (i'm htmilliterate) and share the spiffyness of the pages I stumble across. :)

So Not Unique...
Man, I thought it was weird that someone has the same first and last name as me on my floor. I didn't know the least of it. Apparently, out of the sixty or so people on my unit hall (my floor and the opposite gender one below it), FOUR of them have my same birthday. How whack is that. No other birthday is even shared by two people. It's gonna be like Happy Birthday to you, and you, and you, and you! Crazy.
Tripled my money in poker last night, wee. Slept like way too many hours, such that its almost 2am and i'm not even remotely close to being tired tonight. Hm.
My shift key is being retarded. Whenever i try to hold it down to type a word in all caps it ends up like ThiS WHERE soME ENDs up in CAPS AND SomE doeSNT. I'm really abusing my backspace key because of that. Sheesh. I wonder how long it would take me to learn to use the right shift key instead of the left. Hmm... Wow This Is Hard. Its Like Trying To Unlearn How To Ride A Bike.
So anyway.
