update
surprisingly work has not blocked tumblr yet even though livejournal, facebook, etc. are all still blocked. whatevs! i’m cool with it!
stampede this year was a complete gong show. i usually do not participate in such festivities (after living downtown my hatred of all things stampede and hockey reached its peak) but this year i went all out for some strange reason. 10 days of non stop drinking (and hard drinking), going to shows, seeing friends and delicious midway food. which brings me to now… the cold hard realization that i will be in a bikini/swimsuit in less than 3 weeks (HAWAII!!!!!) and i now have a beer gunt. operation detox is underway. not a real detox….. just back to my regular routine and little to no booze. then i will get to hawaii and grow my beer gunt back in 3 days.
i went to a physiotherapist last week and got acupuncture for the first time in my life. on a side note: i hate when people see that i have tattoo’s and just assume i’m okay with needles. i used to be okay with needles but for some reason within the past year of my life i’ve become a complete and total wuss when it comes to anything doctor-ee. the last time i had blood taken i almost had a panic attack and threw up. wtf?! ANYWAYS. just because i have tattoo’s does not mean i’m okay with needles! THEY ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. i had no time to mentally prepare for the fact that i would have 7 needles stuck into each shin and 1 in each foot so i was a little nervous. but it turned out to be not that bad… except my muscles are so dang tight (the reason for the acupuncture) that it hurts more than it should. i also made the mistake of flexing both my feet instead of leaving them relaxed and both my legs went into huge muscles spasms like i have never felt in my life. i almost cried and learned my lesson. do not move while having acupuncture. i went again on tuesday and had 17 needles in my legs this time! eeek. it made my muscles feel all jumpy like they wanted to move and i was so scared to move because i didn’t want to feel those cramps again so then i started feeling panicky and got all sweaty. i managed to stay still but that was the longest 10 minutes of my life.
next week is a 4 day work week as i’m taking friday off because i’m going to see juliette lewis on thursday (GONG SHOW… there goes my no drinking rule.. ugh). getting my hair done friday… and then it’s a long weekend. so 4 day weekend for me. then 4 more days of work and MOTHER FUCKING HAWAII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! which will basically be beach, food, drinking, shopping, repeat.
