It’s 81?F right now, which is hot. :sun: I mean, its not THAT hot, but it feels too hot when the air conditioning isn’t on. I keep reading about people in other parts of the country and other parts of the world experiencing snow…it seems so strange to read about snow when you’re sweating like crazy.

This morning, my parents and I took Xander to Big Spring Park (a park in Downtown Huntsville). :puppy: I think he had a lot of fun. It was nice out…very warm, but it didn’t feel as bad then as it does now. We kept seeing other people at the park, which made Xander excited. He wanted those people to pet him and pay attention to him. Most of them just walked past without even acknowledging him. A few actually said something like “Oh, cute puppy” as they walked past. No one stopped to pet him, though. I felt a little sorry for him.

My tank top strap broke a few minutes ago. At least I was home when it happened, but it still was a strange experience. It bugs me that it broke, though, because this was the first time I’d ever worn the darn thing. It shouldn’t have broken that easily. My mom is trying to fix it right now. I’m so glad that she can sew. Still, I need better quality clothes.

I didn’t have class this morning. :teacher: My Human Growth and Development teacher decided to let our class have the day off, since this next week is Spring Break at Calhoun. So, I got to sleep in this morning. Yay!

This week’s Friday Five:

If you…
1. …owned a restaurant, what kind of food would you serve? I’d want to serve Chinese, Italian, Mexican, or Southern foods…
2. …owned a small store, what kind of merchandise would you sell? Stylish clothes for plus-sized teens and young adults
3. …wrote a book, what genre would it be? Memoir or Poetry :book:
4. …ran a school, what would you teach? Choir :sing:
5. …recorded an album, what kind of music would be on it? a combination of pop, rock, and R&B. :note:

I cancelled my appointment to see my psychologist today so that my mom could spend the morning at Nana’s cardiologist appointment. <3 It got rescheduled for next Thursday. So, I hope that I get to go then. I mean, its not like I have to go very often…I just don’t really want to miss too much.

So today is the 1 year anniversary of the beginning of the War in Iraq. I still think that this country and the world would’ve been better off if George Bush had been honest about the war. :soapbox: If he had said we were going to go to war to liberate the Iraqis and get rid of Saddam Hussein, then that would’ve been a lot better. Instead, he wanted to convince everyone about the WMDs, and that just makes the whole war seem like a bad idea. Going in under false pretences is just not a good idea.

I finally got to see the premiere of Wonderfalls last night. That show rocks! It’s so funny. Of course, I like all the weird little shows like that. Weird shows are fine, as long as they don’t feature an alien…except Smallville. For some odd reason, Smallville doesn’t fit into my typical anti-alien tv show thing.

I joined Touching Darkness, a Buffy the Vampire Slayer blog crew. I’m thinking about joining other blog crews if I can find some others to join.

Fuzziness has a new layout (featuring David Boreanaz), so you better go check it out. So far there are 3 members, which is actually a bit of a boost for my self-esteem. :star: I didn’t realize that 3 people liked me. I now feel special. :princess:

I need to go to Wal-Mart or Target or some place like that. I’m out of my regular shampoo and conditioner. I guess I might be able to convince my mom to take me to either store today or tomorrow.

I’m in a clique joining mood right now, so if you know of any good cliques to join, please let me know of them.

Well, I went for my GI appointment in Birmingham today. I hate going because its at Children’s Hospital, and being 20 years old and going to CH is just very embarrassing. Anyways…today was worse than usual because my appointment had been cancelled, only no one had called us or written us to let us know. The doctor wasn’t even there. So, we had to go down to Patient Relations and they ended up calling back down to the clinic and getting me in with the doctor who was there. Once we got back there, he didn’t even really help. He basically said that I needed to talk to my regular doctor, my gastric bypass surgeon, and the GI doctor who normally sees me. Gee…that’s a lot of help. So, needless to say, it was all very frustrating. A two hour trip down there for an appointment that had been cancelled and then a work-in that was sucky. Bleh. Oh, and I had blood drawn, which only made things that much worse.

I tried to see if the doctor could help me figure out what’s been causing my rib/stomach pain lately, but he wasn’t really any help. He told me to take 2 Extra Strength Tylenol every 6-8 hours for the next 2 weeks to see if that helps. Well, that sort of freaked me out because the last time I took Tylenol “regularly” for a long period of time, I ended up having this strange psychological addiction to it…I thought I had to take Tylenol to get through a day without having anything bad happen. I ended up taking Tylenol every day for 2 or 3 years. When I finally was able to stop, I became hesitant to take it ever again. Now when I have pain, I try my best to keep from taking anything because I don’t want that addiction to come back.

About the only help that I received (for my pain) from a medical staffer today was from the nurse practitioner. She said that I could have mono (something about my spleen could be large because of it), but its not likely. She also said it could be my stomach/pouch could be screwed up. That wouldn’t be good. The doctor didn’t seem to have a clue about it, though.

So tomorrow I have an appointment with my psychologist. That should be fun. Actually, he’s a really nice guy, and he likes to watch Buffy, which is a plus. It makes it easier for me to relate to him. After my appointment, though, I have to go with my mom for my Nana’s cardiologist appointment. Apparently, there was some kind of issue with her stress test, so she has to see the cardiologist. I hope that everything is okay. I worry about her.

I need a hair cut, but I hate getting my hair cut. :janet: I hate having to change things, including hair styles. I only get my hair cut like once every year or two. I seriously hate having it done…which is why I’ll probably stall on getting it done for another year. Eh…I don’t have the money to get a haircut right now anyway. If I did, then I’d be spending it on clothes, a webcam, BtVS DVDs, or books.

Right now, my mom is at the hospital visiting/staying with a cousin of hers (okay, so that would mean she was my cousin, too) who just had Gastric Bypass Surgery done this morning. My mom said she’d be coming home when other members of the family got back from having lunch. I thought it was sweet that she was staying up there.

I finished 5 new fanlistings today: Alias Prequel Series (Books), Bend It Like Beckham: Mr. Bhamra (Characters), James A. Contner (Directors and Producers), Steven S. DeKnight (Directors and Producers), Linda Perry (Music). So, please go join those.

I need to eat lunch, but I don’t really want to. I’m kind of hungry, but I have this strange fear that if I eat, I’ll gain weight. Sometimes, even now after the surgery, I still binge. I just have to binge in smaller amounts. I know that binging could cause me to gain weight, so I’m afraid of eating at all. I mean, I still eat…I just am afraid that I’ll end up gaining all the weight back.

I need to start working on my next Philosophy essay. :notebook: This time its comparing Stoic philosophy with Buddhist philosophy. Fun, fun, fun. This one actually will require me to write out notes and stuff before I actually write the essay. That’s not gonna be any fun. I also need to start working on a research paper that’s due at the end of the semester for my Human Growth and Development class. I think I’m going to write it on self-injury, since I have several books on that subject already, and that technically has something to do with the adolescent stage of development.

If you receive any e-mail from me (or from any account at fuzzypinkslippers.com) and it has a zip file attached, then its not from me. It is probably a virus or a worm that’s using fuzzypinkslippers.com e-mail addresses. I’m sorry for the confusion.
