fat

a horrible feeling sank down and hung on my shoulders today as i ate three reese’s peanut butter cups and three bite-size snicker bars in rapid succession. the feeling consisted mostly in the following thought: “there will come a day, self, when you won’t be able to do this anymore.” and it’s certainly true. sooner or later my insane metabolism will slow down, and bite-size chocolate will become bite-size fat, instead of whatever happens to it now. the only solution, in looking at almost all the middle-aged people i know, is to set good eating and exercise habits now. habits suck, though. the only thing i’m really in the habit of doing is having bad habits. so we’ll see.

in other news i am no longer going to england over thanksgiving, since i ended up finding cheap fares home after all, so i’m going to orlando. unfortunately i get in at 7pm thanksgiving day, so we’ll be having a late thanksgiving dinner. still, being with family will be great.

i’ve been “writing” a paper for the last few days and it has been hell. this is a new and scary experience for me, and i hope it ends up ok.

fall retreat this weekend for crusade, so i’ll be out through sunday. should be pretty cool, but i have a tendency to get bored at these things and so stop paying attention. anyhow, i’m now officially procrastinating for that paper and other work, and this is something i promised not to do until friday, so…au revoir.
