Moral dilemma: file what I just learned under things I NEVER NEVER wanted to find out. I went to Marie for advice and she suggested I kill the brain cells that know and not say a word.
Off to do that now.
Oh God, so awful.

ain't it the truth
so i have this workout dvd by cindy whitmarsh, this bitch who makes me sweat balls. i googled her and apparently i'm not the only one who feels like i'm getting my ass kicked every time.
"Dear Cindy Whitmarsh
I hate you cause you ruin all my normal excuses for not working out.I love you because you come to my house. But don't get me wrong, our friendship is purely business related. You let me sweat my buns off in the family room and don't judge me when i can't do your punch punch turns ( i'm tired). You let me wear ridiculous outfits without even a raised eyebrow, or no clothes at all. You never make me go to the gym, cause it's cold as hell outside and you know i already don't wanna do this. You let me scream, yell, curse, and call you fat. Then you just smile continue working out and tell me how good i'll lookin my bathing suit this summer. Course, we just laugh and giggle like were the best of friends and keep on keepin on. Your the best but i'm exhausted, we've had our ups and downs but you just remind me of how out of shape i am. But its ok, i'll be back tomorrow cause we have such little time together for lets be real, your program only lasts 2 weeks."

Rendered fat
So 2009 is officially over and I feel ecstatic about that. Things are not necessarily wonderful going into 2010, but I have been much more optimistic about life. I am confident I will get some job I enjoy and accomplish the goals I set out to do last year and did not. I am going through my dearly loved, and now completed, Slingshot 2009 organizer and pulling out the pages of the best and most important days. I made about a hundred resolutions last year and here is a run down of what they were and what I did not do:
1. I didn't take better care of my health. I was in worse health than ever, but am determined to turn that around.
2. I was even worse taking care of finances than previous years. Thankfully I have no money so I can't spend any. Looking for a job.
3. I am determined to treat my friends and loved ones better, I am woefully self-involved and I would like to think that 2010 that will somehow turn about.
4. I don't make many positive contributions to the community I live in, I recycle and that's about it. Hopefully being a TA will make me a better person.
5. I have not completed a single project in as long as I can remember. I have finished sketches I did and silly things but nothing significant.
6. I did stop letting people bully me, with some amount of sacrifice.
7. I took trips to California, Maryland, New York, Tennessee, and New Jersey. Hopefully this year will see more exotic travels.
8. Already mentioned the job thing
9. Did develop strange hobbies, including making a fireplace for our apartment out of colored paper
10. Tried the best I could with grammar.
I am sick of meditating on 2009 and am off to do big things with my 2010, instead of making ridiculous resolutions again this year I am setting realistic and sustainable (and practical) choices to become a full grown adult. Sadly, my friend Chrisp is leaving for Colorado in several days so I am off to do some writing and get ready for one of our last outings with the dear boy.

Lady of the lake
I am still out on the island, exhausted and house-locked. I was able to escape the dismally small and overcrowded bungalow to spend time on the beach. The long island sound during the winter is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen, it's so serene that even the noises from nature seemed muffled and dim to accommodate the calm of the lapping water. I spent some time looking at the rocky shore and the distant lights coming from the shore of Connecticut. The waning overcast day made the landscape look like something out of a Shelley poem. Sigh.
 
What would be superlative for me would be an absence of land and an extension of sea
I have spent a great deal of time cooking:
(yum!)
And now I am off to traverse Port Jefferson and continue writing. I have been avoiding talking to strangers and the mild flirtations that I always encounter when away from my home. I am spending most of my days thinking about taking a long travel, following the lapping waves that I saw from the sea and roll with them to the furthest location.

The ever present Christmas walnut
Happy Holidays!
I am glad to see Christmas safe, and sound, and with my family (despite their irritating tendencies, which are being exhibited frequently. I think that might just be part of the Christmas celebration). I have been trying to garner as much holiday cheer as there is spiked eggnog in the country.
I have listened to John Denver's Christmas Together and cried over its beautiful sentiments the entire Amtrak ride to New York City. I have also watched several seasonal movies and television shows, consumed my weight in spiked hot beverages (mint hot chocolate with creme de menthe, eggnog, cider with brandy), gotten the Santa picture as tradition dictates, and obviously the fireplace. Shawn also took me past the most ridiculous Santa Santa house of lights I have ever seen. Look at this goliath:
I feel a modicum of holiday cheer despite the ever present disappointment and frustration that this year has seen. I guess I feel a kind of hopefulness despite things having not worked out to plan for me, and more importantly for those that I love. And I see the love that exists in the bravery and steely determination in those that I admire and adore. So I hope that there is some semblance of peace coming to those that I hold so dear.
And on top of that this Christmas has been a great success in terms of the presents (awesome!). I got a kindle, which I was sort of on the fence about but feel excited to try it out as well as clothes and yarn and music stuff. And a book a day calendar (yay!). But the greatest and most neurotic gift of all is three puppies in one place:
So happy holidays to all and I hope that this holiday season proves to be happy and joyful. Off to have a gin and tonic with my mommy in the kitchen and do some writing. Score.
