Today is just... beyond the weird into the silly, I think. Today is silly.

Today, my Wii Fit told me that I weigh 170 pounds.

This is two pounds heavier than my goal for later this week, but still: 170 is good! I'll probably blow it all on Thanksgiving, but if I hit the gym Monday and Tuesday and put in an hour instead of half an hour of aerobic stuff on Wednesday, I might actually make the goal!

Seriously guys, Wii Fit. Best $90 I've spent in a while.

I know some of you have it too. Talk to me about it! What's your favorite things to do? I have been doing rhythm boxing like it's my job. I like doing the tightrope walking and Super Hula Hoop too. I suck at most of the balance games though. I have never successfully gone through the whole bubble course.

Do you have a My Routine set up? I do, I go through all the yoga poses minus a couple of the advanced ones, plus lunges, which I hate so hard but my legs need work so I do them anyway. It gives me my 30 minutes every day if that's all I do, but I try to at least do one aerobic thing on top of it.

Do you ever talk back to the trainers? I definitely do, and my sister thinks I'm a lunatic for doing it. Sometimes I talk to the little balance board on the screen too. Shut up, this is the closest I get to human interaction besides my family. xD

If you have Wii Fit Plus, do you have your pets loaded on, too? I have my cats, but not the dogs. Oreo growls and gets pissy whenever I try to weigh her so I've only done it twice. Butcher tries to run away but I've got him a few times. :D They don't weigh that much different, which is weird because Oreo's a little butterball and Butcher's just looooooong. I got my mom to make a Mii and set up a profile, but she never uses it. Julia set up hers before I did but she never uses it either. it's all me and whatever cat I can catch. xD


I have had a headache for the past two days. I don't know if it's a side effect or just a headache. It's not like a migraine, it's not stabbity painful, it just hurts. Hopefully it's just dehydration. I'm trying to drink more water. It's hard to remember to do that, though.

I tried to negotiate with my parents so Julia and I could go to Plattsburgh after Thanksgiving, but they won't let us take a van. I really, really very badly want to go back and see everyone. It's not like, crippling loneliness or anything, it's just things are not going well for everyone and I want to be there and-- this is probably going to sound self-important, but I want to give them back the sounding board I always was. I'm good at listening. I'm good at giving advice or just helpful suggestions or even just hugs if that's all I can do. And people need the hugs at the very least, from what I'm hearing.

Plus, I just plain miss my brother. He's crunching down on his studies to make sure he gets through all his classes. He's going to graduate in a couple of weeks. I know I've talked about this before, how my little brother is going to graduate before me, and usually it's in a "how stupid am I" context, but I am really proud of him. He's a good person and I miss being around him. The summer of 08 wasn't the best of times, but it was pretty good whenever he was around.

So... yeah, that's pretty much what's on my mind today. My legs hurt from those goddamn lunges, and I wish I could be there for my friends in a more present sense than texting or Facebook or whatever. But I'm still feeling pretty happy despite those things. I'm ready for the end of the semester to come. My head is set.
