A bit more from Florida

1. Why is everyone in this house so loud? Don't get me wrong, I am incredible appreciative that I can crash on the couch and not have to get a hotel room. But something has to be said that no one even remotely tries to be quiet when im sleeping no less than 5 feet from the kitchen. I understand that noise will happen, but when i have to hear screams and arguments (not that my family fights all the time, this is just how they communicate) every morning at seven it just kills me.

2. I enjoy running into people who i used to know a long time ago. Now that I've lost a bit of weight and am all self-confident, I am so much more successful than so many people!!!!! Yay me for getting to show it all off :)

On a side note: New Years is coming up. For the last two years my resolution was to go on 3 dates with the same guy. I decided that with David/Tony I succeeded at that. So what should i resolve this year? Any thoughts?

A bit from Florida

I'm in Florida for the holidays, so my apologies for not writing. In addition my life is pretty boring. However, some observations are still in order.

1. Sometimes you need to learn to take no for an answer. At least once on a trip to Florida I try to eat at Checkers since there is only one in DC in the middle of Southeast, so I never go there. So I got some Checkers on the way home and my step-mother tried to offer me food like 5 times and I said to her Can't you see the bag of food right in front of me that I'm eating.

2. Why am I the only one in my family who is ok with waiting til the afternoon of Christmas to open presidents and let everyone be there at the same time, rather than doing it piecemeal. Or if we are doing it piecemeal, I should get to go first so I can go drink/dance.

3. If you ask me if I'll be home for dinner that intones that someone will be making it, not just will I be eating something i make for myself at the kitchen table. So if you plan on giving me a guilt trip for not being home for dinner, then you have to cook a dinner for me to arrive at.

In other observations, its sad that my friends are nowhere to be found. I even cut down the list of people to see for this shortened trip and I've got confirmation from one for my last day in town. I guess next year's trip will be cut down even more...

What a weekend.

I thought the holidays were supposed to go slow so i could write more in the blog. Guess not. So in honor of this weekend, which will be dedicated to me doing school work, as my final assignments for the semester are due next Friday and I am so behind you would have no idea, I will write about last weekend, which was very sociable and great.

As I've often said, once a fat person always a fat person, meaning that when you feel like you are actually a fat individual, you never really lose that feeling and its hard to regain self-confidence entirely and be like you know what I'm hot. With that said: you know what I'm hot and last weekend proves it. There were like 6 men (on Friday and Monday) that were chasing me.

Friday night started at JR's... what night doesn't start at JR's.. and when is JR's going to put up their X-mas decorations? There was a latin guy, average attractiveness who kept giving me the eyes. I decided it was too early to settle down and pin my hopes with him. We hit Pasha for a quick second then head to Apex, where i turned into mac daddy. So my friends i was with were having a "discussion," that term my grandparents used when they fought. So I decided to go to the bathroom, where i met this latin guy who was all like "hola" from 10 feet away. So as we washed our hands we started to talk. We didn't make a decision to go home or anything but he was being flirty and that's what I needed. Then while back on the dance floor, this tall, skinny, asian guy (as i call him the asian equivalent of lp) came up and started talking. We flirted a little bit, then you turn your back and he was flirting with another.... oh well. Then a final trip to the bathroom before i left started a conversation with a 24 year old Guatemalan.. very cute and I think he was going to go home with me... but then some awkwardness ensued unrelated to him.

David/Tony, if you remember him from March/April showed up with his friend that he thought I was trying to sleep with. As me, LP (the caucasian one) and the Guatemalan were ready to go, his friend comes up to me and is all like you look great, have you lost weight (i had indeed :) and how were things. Then i realized how awkward it may be for David/Tony because his "ex" (for no better term- meaning me) was there looking great and macking it. I'm sure it made him feel awkward. Then the Guatemalan went and started talking to someone in his group and i'm not sure, but may have been part of his group... so i didnt want to make it more awkward, so i slipped him my phone number and said to call. He hasn't but what are ya gonna do?

Monday: Was at JR's (surprise) and had a 23 y/o pilot flirting with me a bit. But the convo was strained at times, so i didn't press too hard. Then my friends decided to ask me if i thought one of their friends was cute because he was apparently way into me. He's a flight attendant... that started us talking for the rest of the night. I gave him my number. It took a couple days, but he started texting last night after we ran into each other again (guess where?) and made out a little bit.

So the boy situation seems to be going well.
