I'm not a Haynes....I'm a Fruit of the Loom


Isn't this a cool pciture? I love zebras. And camels. They hold a certain fascination for me, camels. I had a dream that I got a camel for Christmas once. Her name was Rosie. She was a good camel. I lost her Food 4 Less, though. It was very sad. But zebras are just as cool.

I started working out with Jill and Jessi today. I didn't want to overexert myself, so that I wouldn't die the first day, but I felt kind of stupid because I'm so out of shape. It's ridiculous. Oh well. I'll get better with time. And maybe we actually will find some guys for a pre-work-out-make-out session. Ha ha Jill. Everything's funny at six o'clock in the morning. And it kind of sucked cause my cd player ran out of batteries right when I started so I kind of just had to space out. That's ok though, it was nice. With school and rehearsal and home life and everything, you don't have a lot of time just to think. It was a nice change. I just like background music cause I tend to work out to the rhythm of it.

Oh my heck. Yesterday when I almost died in choir was one of the scariest experiences of my life. I was trying to get past Ben, and I was walking behind him, but he didn't know that so he stepped back and crushed me. But see, I was in the crook of the piano and so I couldn't escape or go anywhere, and it was just like, Ben butt all of a sudden and it was really scary. And of course everyone in choir was watching and they all started laughing at the look on my face, because apparently I looked terrified. Well, you know what? It was terrifying. Having someone that big compared to you crushing you in a little space. Not fun. Not an experience I would like to repeat any time soon. Be glad it's never happened to you. Unless it has. Then I pity you.

You know, sometimes it's nice to do something different for a change. I think that's why I'm working out in the morning. It's not something I particularily want to do, but it's a change from my normal schedule, something I don't usually do, and therefore a welcome difference in my boring life. I mean, life is long, and you have a lot of time to try many different things. And that's the beauty of it. If you try something and you don't like it, then you can stop and try something else. Life isn't limited to mastering skills you don't want to master. Unless that's your passion, to master skills. Whatever. But you have your entire life to try different things and find where your passion lies. Except I hate it when people have the philosophy that life is too short, so you have to try everything. You should limit yourself to the things that are within reason. You can't go around trying stupid things, like sex or drugs or sky diving. You have to know the limits of exploration. If you try something stupid, you'll either get into lots of trouble, become addicted, or ruin your life and feel crappy all the time. Or all three. Which I can't even imagine, so why would you even want to try that sort of thing? I had this all worked out in my head last night, sorry I'm not so eloquent today.

Well, there's a class coming in here right now, so I'd better get off the computer. I love you all! Shalom

Hi Beckah! so is this what we are going to do during our free periods? Just so you know, i heard that if you listen to music or watch TV while you work out, you don't get the same effect because you aren't concentrating on "working the muscle". but you know what i have to say to that? BOLOGNA! (that word isn't quite as effective typed cuz its spelled differently) and if someone or something (like batteries) stopped me from listening, you know what i'd do?? SING! so there. ok, i'm done, this is really long. see you at rehearsal. Love, mollie

I HATE it when batteries run out! I get really bored. But I have heard that kissing burns lots of calories. That sounds like my kind of working out. And you don't need music. Of course, you could have music, but that's your business. My roomates are trying to figure out the harmonies to JimmyEatWorld's "It Just takes some time..." song and as, well, awful as it sounds, it's a comforting thought. Everything will be all right. I like those lyrics. I like zebras, too. I love you lots and lots and lots and lots and only 17 days until I see you!

I told Reed he looked like a Chipmunk today...he was like "well, as long as I'm a TEMPTING chipmunk..." so in that case, maybe you do want some chipmunk. :D
