potpourri post - april 16

- I’m having one of those days where I feel hesitant to capitalize. I just want to be small and unobtrusive in everything I do. You know what I mean?
- I’m freezing. 2 of my fingers are numbish. I have my space heater on high. there was a freeze last night. It’s mid-april, and I live in north carolina. What the heck.
- did you know that if you can change your thoughts, you can change your thought-patterns, and therefore your feelings? and it is possible to control our thoughts. I’m now employing a technique of banning negative thoughts - acknowledging them, but asking them to move on. I think I’ll feel less hurt in general. wish me luck.
- I’m on a completely new food and exercise regime. well, not completely new - it’s just completely new that I’m adhering to it. wish me luck. I plan on being buff by June. because guess what? you cannot hail from the South, be 31 and single, and let the looks go. Particularly when that’s all anyone really values in you anyway! (”anyone” being potential men. I’ve yet to meet anyone who can handle and want the person that comes with the looks - it’s usually one or the other: they can handle it but don’t want to; they want it but can’t handle it…)****Clarification: This does not reflect how it has been with each and every person I’ve dated - just sayin’.
- speaking of melons, today i keep burping and it tastes like “vodka melone” - aka cantelope-flavored vodka with which I used to keep cool during my 2 summers in Italia. It’s a divine taste. I just don’t know where it’s coming from because I’m not eating any melon. nuts!
Your looks are NOT the only thing that you have going for you. Interesting that you wrote that in the same post in which you discussed banishing negative thoughts. You’re talented, articulate, generous, thoughtful, insightful, athletic, sensitive and generally brilliant. You’re also brave to be addressing the issues you’ve had to confront lately. While undeniably beautiful, that doesn’t begin to approach the defining positive aspects of who you are as a person.
well, there’s a difference between negative thoughts, and realistic thoughts. Although this doesn’t apply to each and every situation I’ve been in - or every man I’ve encountered.
And, I got hit by a couple branches, but it being the favorable part of my person really says something about my personality! HA.
Cheers people, cheers.
