I apologize for the lack of updates, it's about a billion degrees in the San Fernando Valley and the heat eventually got to my head, thus keeping me from properly functioning in any ship shape regard. Oh hell, I'll just blame it on my friends, that's what they're around for anyways.
It's been a rather interesting few days, to say the least. To summarize Christinagans (that's Christina and shenanigans for short .. I know, I know, hold on to your panties, you're impressed) over the last week:
1. Lots and lots of working out. The return of Sweaty Dude - he somehow found me in the middle of a very crowded two story gym and proceeds to chat it up for an hour while I'm cardioing away. No, no, please continue to ask me about the philosophy of life while all I want to do is place duct tape over your mouth while I go back to a rockin' out.
2. Hot blonde dude with nice butt (see previous post) #1 moved our staring relationship to a new level ... he walked by my treadmill a few times and did a Venice Beach style flex. I started laughing so hard I almost tripped over myself. Hey, we're making progress from our 20 ft staring contests, so I guess I can't complain and/or make fun of him.
3. Went to Cheesecake Factory on Friday and ordered the Factory Burrito Grande sans onions, peppers and black beans ... basically everything but the cheese, rice and chicken. Deciding what to order from restraunt menues is a very daunting task for me; see below internal narrative for example:
Inside my head: "Oh God, it's so big and so greasy. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to run to the nearest bathroom just looking at it. Oh, but it sounds so delicious and velvety smooth with it's finely aged cheddar and creamy sour cream. Should I tempt fate? No, no Christina .. don't do it .. you want to lose another 10-20 lbs .. cheese isn't going to help you get there. Think of your hips Christina, THINK OF YOUR HIPS! But my mom gets it all the time and I always say I'm going to try it ... then I get the stupid salad with the stupid watered down fat free italian vinegar excuse of a dressing ... ohmygosh ohmygosh I want the burrito. Oh but the pad thai looks so good, I can always do double chicken and have them leave out the shrimp ..."
Person eating with me: "So, what are you going to get?"
Me: "Oh, I think I'll just go with a salad. It'll be a fun time!"
Inside my head: "THERE'S A FREAKING BREAKFAST PAGE?!?! I want an omlett for lunch! Like, totally OMG totally freak me out! An OMLETT for LUNCH! Seriously! But I really like the chicken and biscuits and I can always take some home for lunch another day. And I can do the same with the burrito ..."
Server approaches: "What can I gets for yous twos?"
Other person orders
Server: "And for you mah little ladiez?"
Inside my head: "Oh funkernickles oh freak I need to order! Pad thai?! Salad? Omlett with extra cheese? Oh frick no cheese you fatty! Oh but the chicken and biscuits have always done me well! Except for that one time they gave me food poisoning ... I'll just stick to a salad."
Me to server: "Factory burrito grande please, it's huge and I won't be able to eat even half of it!"
Server: "It IS massive, only a true fatty mcfattersons could finish off that baby!"
I proceeded to polish off the whole thing, followed by a piece of coconut cream cheesecake. WTF ... I have no self control. I lose. Fatty. McFattersons. Starving children of the world? Well, it's their own damn fault ... just come to the Cheesecake Factory, they'll hook 'em up. Hey, in my own self defense I was starving. Yeah ...
4. Kinda sorta date on Friday. Really tall, very cute guy with one a nice sarcasometer ... only problem is the fact that it was about a BILLION degrees that night. I literally had beads of sweat rolling down my buttcrack. I mean, like, POOLING right there at the top of my buttocks curvature. It looked like I had reverse peed my pants and wasn't giving a crap about it. It was absolutely sexy.
5. Turns out getting up at 7am to run is no longer a good idea. Here I am, excited to go get a long Saturday training run in when BAM heat in my face. I turned a shade darker just by opening the front door. Seriously though, it was freaking 90 degrees at 7freakingAM ... what the douche, man?! The run sucked, but hey, the level of burning throughout my body was only mild-moderate as the day progressed.
6. Justin's screening party ... very entertaining! I have to say that I actually managed to release a few laughs (which we all know my prude little body refuses to accept humor of any kind). I was sufficiently entertained! Mix in some drunk people and the need to make faces everywhere you go and you get this:
(Stolen from Justin, hey thanks dude!)

7. Saw a Lexus purposefully run over a helpless, chirping squirrel. I stopped and stood, mouth agape in horror that somebody could be that cruel. I hope he freaking burns in squirrel hell or is at least plagued with an acorn avalanche as he sleeps in his murdurous sleep.
8. Return of semi-date dude from Friday night. Don't know what to say there. That'll do I guess.
9. Went in to buy one pair of shoes and came out with freaking FOUR pairs. I mean, seriously, WTF, what the effersons is my deal? I have a problem ... a shoe problem. I'm addicted and I need help. Retail help ... more shoes .. give me my shoes .. GIVE ME MY SHOES DAMMIT!
10. Freaking
shirt.woot.com got me again.
So yeah, that's pretty much it in a nutshell. I'm sure there's a small detail about my special friend in there somewhere, but I really don't want to get into it. He makes me happy and he makes me sad. He's my bipolarbear friend. Mmmmmmmm fuzzy polar bear cocacola ...
