I once rode my bike home 5 miles from school through a nor'easter in nothing but a pair of shorts, a t-shirt, and sneakers. It's like I always say: staying warm encourages you to ride harder. 

That's just crazy! And people accuse me of over doing my workouts. You won't catch me in shorts in any thing below 55 degrees outside.

You know that the main ingredient in SSRI drugs is Fluoride (also in rat poison)? Just a random fact I thought of while reading your post.

I'm thinking that I am cold and hungry. Trying to save money so the heat is turned down to 65 degrees. Why is 65 degrees outside comfortable but inside it's shivering cold?

Probably because of the sun and not getting that exposure.  Heck 75 inside for me is freezing




I'm thinking about this year's E3.  I wonder what they will have to show.  Sony didn't do a good job last year so hopefully they will bring something to the table this year.  I remember 2 years ago where Sony stole the show and Microsoft had nothing on them.  I'm going to be a fanboy screaming over some of the new games but since I'm more heavily focusing on saving for top surgery, it will be a while before I can even buy some of those games.  Besides, I'm more skeptical this year since I saw Far Cry 3 at the last show and was addicted.  It was nothing like what they showed and it was borderline false advertising.  Because of that, I'm sure as heck ain't getting Splinter Cell: Blacklist until it's about $25.  I was originally going to preorder it but screw that.  I put that money in my top surgery fund instead.

Well, my room is 28 degrees F, yet I feel fine. Hm.

We're reaching the time of day when my thermostat drops from 68F to 65F... do you live in a freezer?

No. I just don't have heat, and my room has no insulation.

It's also in a lot of toothpastes and in mouth washes.   Albeit it's in a different form that doesn't get digested the same way, from what I can find.  I also can't find anything saying that it negatively impacts a person unless they're predisposed for a sensitivity to it [which I'm not].

There's a reason fluoride toothpastes have poison warnings on the label (if swallowed). Fluoride makes people docile (it's also industrial waste, yum) that's why it was first put into the water supply in Nazi Germany. Docile people are far easier to control.

I'll go mute on the topic before I get labeled a conspiracy theorist (I'm not). There is a lot of info on Fluoride out on the interwebs though.

I'm making homemade mashed potatoes and steak (medium rare) now. I'm STARVED.

I would freeze to death or be rubbing my legs together like a cricket trying to get some heat through friction.

I hope you're wearing lots of layers.  Maybe you should get one (or both) of the heat and insulation problems fixed?

"Layers"? Waste money on heat? Oh, you slay me!

I sleep nude in here. 

Thinking after top surgery when I go to AX that I'm going to wear a Hawaiian shirt on the way there.

My church is trying to figure out where they should take the kids on a trip next.  I say Disney World but my sister says no since we have been like four times.  You can never have enough of Disney World....or I can't at least.

I need to keep an axe in my room.  I usually keep a bat in case of intruders but having an axe may be slightly better, if I can build up more strength to wield it.  Perhaps I'll paint my face like a clown and start wielding that around if an intruder comes.  Juggalo Style!

Mardi Gras

This post made me cold.  I'm going to have to add another layer to what I'm wearing now...

Seriously, what are these "layers" of which you speak?

I should start doing that, but with the way I sleep, I may end up slitting my own throat by mistake.

Then sleep with a knife by your bed on the dresser or something.

Yeah, I read it can make people docile in large enough doses.  I'm fairly docile anyway. I'm not going to be running around saying "Down with the government" or even "down with the mayor" or "hey, maybe you should put your trashcan elsewhere".  I just don't care all that much about what others do as long as they leave me along. [This docile-ness totally vanishes the second someone yells at my dog or teases her...or if someone attacks my gender identity...maybe a few other cases].  Overall, I'm just like "-shrug- Whatever floats your boat."  It's gotten me labelled as a hippy by my parents.

I'm just aware that without Prozac I had suicidal thoughts and that I was far from happy.  On Prozac, I was happier and less likely to think I should probably just off myself.  Unlike Zoloft which made me crazy/nearly made me crazy.  I happened to get the luck of the draw in that I was one of the few who got some of the worst side effects [it was so rare that my psychiatrist didn't even warn me about it.  He did tell me, though, once I went in one day nearly in tears because I "felt" my mind braking...something which my mom  had experienced as well while on Zoloft. -.-;]

But oh well...it's a moot point as I can't afford a psychologist or psychiatrist or any meds of any kind.

One slice of pizza left- getting it!

The last week at work, not having to do much physical stuff due to training a new girl, I've gained a few pounds. I'm up to 145. 

Having a drunken landlord sucks when you just want the broken, rust-filled pipes to cough up a bit of heat because there are 27 drafts in your room coming from all different directions, including one from within the doorjamb.

In my cubby hole, right next to my packer.

145 is a good weight for your height, anything less and you'd be skin and bone crazy girl!
