I jog every day and am heartened by stories like these. I love my daily exercise and know that I'd get those titanium legs before I gave up. When I first started at the track, there was a woman there who was at least 75 or 80. She trudged around every day—barely lifting her feet but more shuffle run. She must have…

All their horses and all their men can't keep me away. I want to try it now.

I've gotten their names and friend them on FB or twitter. Start following them and commenting on their stuff. Work yourself into their consciousness.

I use smiley faces liberally. I know that emails can be misread for tone all the time. So, if I throw in a little :) people know I'm lighthearted instead of being a jerk.

Lady Gaga is a little nuttier than I like my celebrities to be. She's starting to head into "mentally unstable" territory from "quirky." I'd keep an eye on her.

You will, little tomato, you will! There is so much ass out there.

I just keep remembering being with my ex last year at this time. I'm so so so glad to be single. I have no problems this Valentine's Day. None. I'm a hot piece and I'll get some again. Just not today. And I'm well more than okay with that!

This gives me a case of the sads. Reminds me of my ex. He did a lot of this stuff. But I eventually broke it off. He really just didn't want to be around me. *heavy, shuddering, wet sigh*

Isn't that awesome when you finally get to stuff you hate to do?

Ugh. I'm your roommate. Although I'm much nicer and think long and hard before I say anything. My roommate has a boyfriend who is over more than I'd like and dude is really fucking loud in the bathroom. He's nice and she's nice but it's a drag. Everyone is a night owl but me. It's annoying to be woken up after…

Sounds like kids is a deal breaker for him. Good for him saying something instead of fuming in silence. Hold strong. If it's something you really don't want to do, don't force yourself. There are other men out there.

They may have no idea their dog cries all day. They're not home. Our neighbors told us our dog whined all day when we weren't home. I don't know what they could do about it, but at least they'd feel more guilty.

I hate that "cancel" is the first button instead submit. I just wrote a lot and deleted it. So: I'm re-reading HP too. Goblet of Fire.

Careful. If you haven't had your teeth cleaned in a long time, the dentist will probably find work to be done (i.e. cavities and the like)

OMG. I'm sure it's painful. If someone had published my diaries at the age of 20. However, I wasn't a teen mom and my mom wasn't the Vice Presidential nominee for the Republican Party. So. Yeah.

@lalaland13: That was in SF. I live in NYC so it's about the same. Roughly $14 an hour but that was 2005.

@All Joy Wants Eternity: Congratulations on your star. Your comment is pretty awesome.

I'm listening to a Michael Pollan book right now and he's all about the organic and non-processed foods. His ideal is we all live within 50 miles of farms where we go every day and buy our vegetables and dairy and grass-fed meat. I just roll my eyes.

@lalaland13: Oh, I just worked as a receptionist. But $23,000 grand without expenses (or equivalent) is $23,000 grand.

@SarsDoesn'tSave: I'm scared of treadmills! I run at an outdoor track but I'm sure there's going to be a treadmill in my future—whether distant or no. So it goes.
