My Happy Ending

Posted on August 27, 2008 | Leave a comment

(not)

Let’s talk this over
It’s not like we’re dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something You said?
Don’t leave me hanging
In a city so dead
Caught up so high
On such a breakable thread

You were all the things I thought of you
And I thought we could be

You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending

You’ve got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I’m difficult
But so are they
But they don’t know me
Do they even know you?
All that they talk about
All the shit that you do

You were all the things I thought of you
And I thought we could be

You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending

It’s nice to know you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It’s nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching at the phone
And making me feel we were done

Olympic Abs

Posted on August 8, 2008 | 1 Comment

Dana Torres is incredibly fit for a 41 year old woman.   I’m 25, and I pretty much have zero hope for looking like that (did you see how much she pays a year to stay in that kind of shape?).

I like this juxtaposition between “Olympic Abs” and “Simple Fitness.”

As much as I would love to end up completely ripped and defined like Torres, I’m going for overall health and fitness in my gym membership. Yes, I finally joined a gym! Shocking, I know. I’ve been walking around for the last 2 days sore as hell thanks to the leg machines and the bike. But it’s a good soreness. I’m proud of myself for pushing myself (well, for Cindy pushing me) and actually following through. It’s been less than a week, but I already feel healthier because I know I’m being proactive and actually working towards a better me.

I may never have olympic abs, but I know I’ll be happy with the results I get.

Breaking Dawn

Posted on August 4, 2008 | 5 Comments

Last summer I discovered the brilliance of Stephenie Meyer.

On Saturday, the saga was complete. After waiting a year for Breaking Dawn to arrive, I finished it in two days. It would have taken less time, but I was actually busy on Saturday… shocking, I know!

When I started the book, I was wary. The preface left me thinking the worst, and then I was shocked at the turn of events that took place (I managed to stay completely spoiler free for this one!). But in the end, it was fantastic. I laughed, I cried, I cried some more…

And while I’m sad the series is complete, I’m thrilled with the way it ended. There was a sense of finality. Closure. It wasn’t open ended in the slightest. Loose ends were tied up. And that’s how a series should end. When it’s over, it should be over.

Kudos to Stephenie for this amazing series. Now I can’t wait for Midnight Sun – the first book of the series written from a different character’s perspective!
