A New Year
I apologise in advance if this post is an overly long and emotional rant…
Reflecting back on 2010, I think it wasn’t a bad year. I did alot of new things- went to a Jónsi concert, joined cross-country, baked colourful spiral cookies… :D But then of course there are the negatives, like extreme dieting and breaking up with my boyfriend… I’m excited for 2011, especially...
Anonymous asked: Hi! What's your name?
people who love food must watch Julie & Julia

“You know what I love about cooking? I love that after a day when nothing is...”

I just watched this movie for the first time [with my dad! rented the DVD from the library, aha] and it’s soooo lovely! I love it! Meryl Streep is so adorable! :3
I went online afterwards to check out the blog and...
Beef
My mum is really going overboard with the whole “let’s’-get-her-to-eat” thing. She made my dad and I go buy organic beef at Whole Foods and it was so super-expensive, like $15 for this tiny package. I guess going organic is better for the environment and it seems only natural since we’re already drinking organic milk and eating organic eggs, but I really am NOT a meat...
Hi there everyone, happy holidays! :) Go enjoy...
Numbers
Human anatomy class, we had to calculate our BMI, BMR, and % body fat…
Even though it’s supposed to be private, we’re working with partners and of course everyone’s curious about everyone else’s weights and such. My partners seemed to be envious that I was “so thin,” but I’m really not. I’m really not! I am not even excessively dieting...
Easy/lucky/free
I just went for a run in the first time since forever today! I felt really great, like I wasn’t even tired after 20 minutes, I felt so light and free and swift… it was great. I miss running!
So afterwards I decided to check my email and there it was, a Facebook notification saying there was a message from him… I made cookies for all my friends and set aside one for him. I sent...
Food issues.
I’m so happy it’s finally winter break! It feels great to relax and do nothing overly productive, no homework to speak of until the day before we have to go back :p
But my mum is putting a damper on things by telling me to start eating meat and fatty foods so I could have regular periods, like that makes sense. She’s like, “Think about your long-term future and having...

I’d swim across lake Michigan I’d sell my shoes I’d give my body to be back again In the rest of the room To be alone with you
Aaaaw… I’ve got to listen to more Sufjan Stevens… aha.
Happy happy time!
I talked with him in the halls today!! I’m proud I had the courage to do it :) He was walking right in front of me and by some miracle, the hallways -weren’t- so crowded and noisy that you couldn’t hear anything or talk at all. I just tapped him on the shoulder and he smiled [so beautiful] at me and said hi. And the thing is… it came so naturally. You’d think maybe...
Everything's adding up, up, up :)
Everything’s great- thanks so much for everyone reassuring me that it’ll be okay! Apparently the college told my mum that they already sent out my admissions letter and that “your daughter will be really happy with the decision.”
:D
Acceptance?! Hahaha. I’m so anxious for the mail now!!
P.S. 2-hr delay tomorrow due to the snow! Yaaaaay :)
I’m finally done with my college applications, but the joy is short-lived…
Now my mum is worried that even though I submitted everything, there will be something wrong in the process and it’ll all be messed-up and the schools won’t get my information. And just constant worrying…. I was so happy I was done, and now she’s making me fret and worry and be upset.

A single man
He finally changed his status too…
I thought it would break my heart, that he’s finally accepted it, but I didn’t feel much. It was kind of a shock, but… the true shock and sadness already happened…
After his promise to talk to me more, he never did… well, I’m not sure what to talk to him about. But maybe I’ll call him this weekend… I just...
Snow
It’s snowing outside…. what a beautiful day.
There’s a Japanese boy on my bus whom my friends and I have been talking to for the past few days… he’s really nice. My friends are both taking Japanese at school, so they can hold a conversation, kind of. They keep asking him about Japanese customs and life there, it is so interesting! My friend treats him a bit like a...
A fleeting moment
I told myself it was a short-lived crush… that since he switched out of my class and lunch, I wouldn’t see him again, so just forget it.
But I secretly prayed to catch a glimpse of him in the halls… and today, at the most unexpected moment, I saw him as I was walking to lunch. It still amazes me when he recognises my face and smiles. I’m just upset that he switched out!!...
Stats
We’re doing a nutrition lesson as part of our digestive system unit for human anatomy. Yay!
But my teacher says she’s going to take our height, weight, and body fat percentages….. that makes me feel really self-conscious. I mean, I know she’s not going to judge us [hopefully], but still.
I don’t want to know >.<
We also have to keep a food journal for five...
