mardi gras memoriesCategory: drinkin'
yes, i've decided that i must skip class tonight.
1. i've already started to paint my face.
2. i'm about 80% finished with the boone's farms (ah, the memories...) that i recently bought.
3. it's MARDI GRAS!!! i went to college in new orleans, it's supposed to be a holiday!
top mardi gras memories:
1995: mardi gras morning. woke up around 9:30, ellen chapman was visiting me. we started drinking around 9:45 and by 10:15, i was wasted. we were eating my roommate's roses and doing shots of whatever we had, which probably included jack daniels, taaka vodka (mixes easy, just add people!) and i seem to remember some of that minty stuff, oh, bailey's. my mom or dad (yes, i was too drunk to remember which one) called at 10:30. i was so drunk i couldn't talk, except that i do remember explaining that it was mardi gras. which probably doesn't really help calm a parent's mind, especially because they had never experienced it.
1994: getting really, really, really drunk in the bar across the street from campus (that i used to always get drunk in). all i remember was twirling around with some guy when the song "come on eileen" was playing. i also kissed some guy who had really bad breath for some beads.
the worst thing i did was mistake my friend greg for my friend kiki. greg is a blonde jewish guy with long hair. kiki is a short black girl. my drunk goggles only told me "friend" and i coudn't tell who was who.
ahh.
gotta finish this boones.

my new dieti have a super high metabolism.
and i have been eating (overwhelmingly) vegan again.
that means i got too skinny again.
i don't like my weight to go under 125. i went to the doctor the other day. and sure enough, i am under that.
all my clothes are too loose. i have indentations on the side of my waist. my bras, which are already the smaller ones, are too loose. when we were in high school, ((e:paul)) and ((e:iriesara)) used to call me mammary. now, i'm less than a b.
so i came up with an idea to be a pseudo-vegan and to not have this weight problem anymore: just add oil to everything i eat. this is fun, it makes everything taste like restaurant food. i don't generally use the microwave, so i warm up the leftovers on the stove, adding oil instead of water (which i usually add to reheat my food.)
end result: yummy food. and lots of calories for me!
this is actually the perfect diet for me, i believe. last summer, i became obsessed with this program on mypyramid.gov where you could put in everything you eat and it analyzed ALL of your food intake, including vitamins, omega fats, minerals and all. since i eat very healthy and i my nutrient intake was above the recommended intake for everything except for vitamin E and potassium. vitamin E is mostly found in healthy oils and nuts (and potassium in fruit, which i try to eat, but i don't really like sweets too much.)
thank you for the food, mother earth!

i am only pseudo-vegan because i sometimes eat things like omelettes and quesadillas, but over 90% of the time, eat vegan food. there's nothing animal about the oils i use.

This might be a stupid question, but why would you be a pseudo vegan if you add oil to your food? Are there animals products in vegetable oils like canola for example?

anatomyCategory: anatomy lab
in my anatomy lab today, we were discussing all the muscles of the body, and our TA was often demonstrating what the different muscles do.
we got to the facial muscles and there was one that one girl at my table described as "puffing out your cheeks." so i asked the TA to demonstrate what she meant. i didn't see him demonstrate what that muscle did because i was looking down to write something when i did. not fully understanding that muscle, as i was looking up, i said, "do it again!"
i looked at him, and saw that he was pressing his tongue up against one of his cheeks, puffing it out. without thinking at all, i laughed, which made everyone else who had been holding in their laughs laugh too. the TA turned really red.
i honestly had no intentions of embarassing him when i asked him to do it again, but it was definitely the funniest moment i've had here for a little while.

hey fellow tulane alum, ((e:jenks)). nice to meet you here in buffalo!
Sigh... I miss it... Where did you go to school? I was at Tulane '99 to '03. And Buffalo, while I love that you try, mardi gras here just doesn't even hold a candle to NOLA.
