it's crazy i'm thinking...

I have been all over the Metro Detroit area these past couple of days. I've hit up every single TJ Maxx in the area. I think part of the reasoning was to get away from being at home and getting stressed out about not being on track with my research project. When I get really stressed out, I do the worst thing possible...I aim for avoidance. I hate research. Loathe it. It always takes me 10 years to center in on a topic. I know what area I want to do my research in...but it's centering in. And I'm so confused, I want to punch a wall. At least it feels like I am punching a wall.

Today I had to go to the orthodontist to pick up my top retainer. I was kind of bummed about going because I hate retainers...especially because it takes such a long time to get used to them and in the meantime, you talk like a complete asswipe. Much to my surprise, I got a totally different retainer than I was expecting. Not traditional AT ALL. It's like a bleaching tray...it's clear...and goes over all my teeth. You can barely tell I am wearing it. The best part is that I can talk completely normal when wearing it. It's kind of hard to get in and out...but I'm sure that will change over time. At least I hope it will.

Went to Target yesterday and Valentine's Day stuff was half off. I got a string of pink lights for $1. $1! They had red, too, but I figured pink half-ass matches my room (hah like there's really a color scheme up in this joint) and red reminds me too much of Christmas.

I've decided to get really aggressive about working out. I was doing really well. I was popping on the episodes of Three's Company that Bob burned for me... but as I got to the last disc...I felt like I had to save those episodes...so I pretty much stopped altogether. And that's bullshit. I find that when I have free time, I'm not doing anything productive...I'm fucking playing Dynomite! There's no excuse for that! It's stupid!

My birthday is almost only a week away. I was gonna say...hellz yeah...but birthdays are "blah" anyway.
