Yay! I found my Angels and Airwaves cd! I thought it was gone for good! :D Secret Crowds is the best song ever.
I also found the disc of software for my camera and installed it. I've had the same pictures on there since July. I've been avoiding taking them off because if I use the Microsoft program it just dumps them in one big folder, while this program dumps them in folders with dates on them, so I know which date I took the pictures. SO NOW my camera is cleaned off.
And I don't know if its the feeling of small victory for being in control last night even though I felt like I was losing control (positive: I was drinking lite beer all night so it was an easy buzz to control. negative: it was beer and I pretty much destroyed all hopes of having a decent caloric intake yesterday), or feeling good because I had one of those nights where everyone seems to notice you and think you're HAWT (when really you're NAWT) or maybe the fact I finally have 7 months of recent photos on my computer, but I think I'm feeling bold enough to post a picture of myself! I'd been kicking around the idea for a while, after all many of you have been kind enough to put a face behind the name, I was just afraid it would get discovered or something and as soon as someone finds a pic of me they know its my blog, but I figure if it ever got to that point I'd be pretty much screwed either way, no?
Maybe I'll leave it up for a limited amount of time or something. Or maybe I'll totally forget and it'll stay up forever. (yeah, that sounds more likely). Either way, this is one of those pictures I took off my camera last night that I don't feel totally horrible about. Its one of those pictures thats like, the best picture ever taken of you. You look somewhat skinny, your face is at the best angle, etc. So hesitate to say its nice or anything, I cherrypicked this picture out of LOADS of other ones. (If only you could see what I look like right now...) Its just one of those 1 in a 1,000,000 nice ones. Either way, I saw collarbones and I liked it. I've had prominent collarbones forever, weight loss aside. I can't complain about that. :)
And you can't see the rest of my body, so thats cool too. This picture makes me look deceptively skinny. I like it. (The picture after it in my computer though? ewwww.....)
This is from my cousin's wedding, Oct. 3rd. Going back in the "Analog Archives" it looks like I was reporting 160 lbs at the time. I'm in the high 140's now :) (Still, thats been almost 5 months...what's taking so long? I need to step it up.)
[DELETED.]
I have a huge head. Or it just looks huge here. And that CHIN....gawd....what I'd give to have a chin-ectomy. Thanks, mom, for the chin that sticks out too far.
So, reporting on last night, my friends kept hitting on me. lol. I guess my efforts to look good paid off? (its the eye makeup that does it. I do admittedly like my eyes, after they've been dressed up.) And I lost control. I drank a lot of beer. BUT like I said before, it was beer, and an easy buzz to control, so even through losing control and drinking a lot I still didn't get that drunk. A win, I guess. So, I had fun. (and I got some good post high school gossip....okay think of the two most unlikely people that could date in your class....a slutty type girl and a virginal geek guy....yeah, it was shocking when they started dating. Well now, SHE'S PREGNANT. Unbelievable.)
Today there is a happy hour at 3 that some friends from work are going to. More drinking. Gah. Can't we do anything else for fun in Wisconsin?? (Hint: not while it's STILL SNOWING)
However, I should be able to keep it low. I don't want to let THOSE people see me drunk. They see me more often :P
Since I took a B vitamin and drank a bunch of water before I went to bed last night (I'm tellin ya, P.D., it helps!) I feel pretty good right now. Just a small headache, nothing that an aspirin can't cure. I haven't even eaten yet (shit..thats a lie. Had 2 servings of peanut butter tagalongs just to finish the box...300 something cals? Not horrible, yet.) The bar I'm going to has peel-and-eat shrimp during happy hour. I LOVE shrimp. They can't be that high in calories. I will eat shrimp.
I need to get ready to go. Heres to restriction! (Go, restriction!)
Oh, and thanks to P.D., Sottile, and Becca for commenting on my boring post earlier! lol. P.D., I'm totally down for a texting buddy, although I've never had one for this purpose before so I hope I can be helpful in some way! Or at least not BORING! haha
peace
Emily

scottile is my testing buddy and its awesome! Its great to have a texting buddy!
you look so smart in those glasses! its so awesome to get a face for the name, you know?
Gah, thank you so so much for posting a picture! :D You're GORGEOUS!!! Seriously! And I always pictured you as being irrevocably purty...I just had no *idea* how pretty, you know? Fo rizzle, mah nizzle. :D
B Vitamins..I have some, I just didn't have them with me when I got your advice. Perhaps I should include them in my going out bag so I will never be without them when the hangover monster strikes.
Texting buddies don't have to be helpful. :P It's just like blogging/getting comments. It's nice to know that you're not alone in this, and secondly, it's good to be able to reach out to someone in times of desperation (pizza, donut shops, etc.).
Shrimp is great for you. Fairly low in calories, it's full of protein, and of course, goddamndelicious. :D
My bf is from Madison. He has so many stories of the snow. I was 22 before I saw snow for the first time (Texas girl, born and raised). Have fun, stay warm, and stay lovely! <3
P.D.
