and the #2 piece of evidence that i need more sleep, more water and less stress:
my lower lip is split down the middle, deeply, with several only slightly less deep split grooves at semi regular intervals on either side. it sucks.
in happier news: apparently tenacious purple hair dye outlasts the competitors, and i'm getting this interesting fading of the red hair to something that most defitely has purpleness underneath. not enough to be striking, even. but it's enough to make me smile after every shower when i get to see the ends of my hair form wet pinkish purple curls, and that's good enough for me.
was alone in the room working on paper and eating pizza, and re-realized that my instinctive eating methods have no place in polite company. lately i've taken to eating the cheese and toppings off my pizza, which wouldn't be so bad if it didn't reveal the seamy pizza innards - a saucy lunar landscape of dough, which i lick clean and then gnaw off its crust-like underside. completely unacceptable. but the cool part is that it leaves what is essentially a big pizza-slice-shaped cracker. This is the least enticing part of the pizza (comparatively, of course - it itself is not bad), and properly set aside until one forgets how tasty the cheese and pizza topping were and the crust-cracker looks appetizing on its own merits. plus in that amount of time it grows slightly stale, enhancing the crackery quality. yum.
i should have seen this coming when i first started eating pizza slices and then gutting the crusts.
my actual work starts monday - am jumping right into advanced programming training. i sincerely hope i can swim.
hope to start exercising again this week - am no longer sick, just tired, and with no more school stuff to worry about after monday the occasional dizzy spells and eye-twitchings should stop soon. heh. but yes: so will be safe to get back on treadmills and lift weights and bewail my sorry, weakened state. actually, the running on treadmills and lifting of weights will probably leave me too out of breath to bewail my sorry, weakened state. i'll just have to settle for pathos-inducing wheezing.
although there is also the lurking knowledge that i really really really ought to call home and start figuring out this graduation stuff. why o why did i say that i would walk?
one of my co-workers invited me to a party on may 8th, but it's an online flash invitation that won't let me access the party information until i solve a puzzle requiring fairly detailed knowledge of charlottesville. i keep getting it wrong and so my result is "are you a first year?" rather than anything about the party. no partial credit either. so i still don't know what this party's for, and i'm getting to the point where i'm gonna cheating and find some outside help. hmph.
to bed, to bed, in hopes that i grow a new lip. also: neurotic fish is still alive, and still active and be-tentacled and neurotic. he rocks.

Good luck today. I'm betting you are going to do great.
I from this point forth will feel somewhat less self-conscious when posting.
And what happened to your lip?
