You know what is pathetic? When you visit YOUR OWN website every so often to see if it has changed. Which it never does, because YOU are the one who is suppose to be updating it. I stare at the words I have written, comment on how ugly it looks, even though I can’t even seem to find a color scheme I like enough to apply it, and then I move onto someone else’s page to see if they have updated. They usually haven’t, and if they have it’s not even intersting. No offense, my website it never interesting either, it’s just like a place to vent out your anger, and something to do to fill the void in all of our lives…

Well enough of that. I have asked myself the question of why i have been avoiding this website as of lately. It’s more like i am waiting to “weed out” all the people who came to my site while i was in Japan. Not that I don’t like all of you, it is just that i am sorry to say that most of you will be disappointed. Okay all of you. My life in Japan compared to my life here is just plain boring. Well not boring to me, because it is my life, but COMPARED to the stories I shared with you from Japan, the stories I share with you now will not be nearly as interesting or entertaining. You get the “real” Stephanie, or at least as real as i choose to be online.

So now that THAT is out of the way, I will be getting back to my usual posts of insanity and crazyiness that is my life. For all 5 or you die hard fans, I post for you.

My big accomplishment on my website is located in the upper right hand corner of the page. It says “Links” and I have added some of my friends to that very corner. I am very proud of this, as I found it by myself. (Chris, I have yet to add you.) If there is anyone else out there who has a website and would like to be added, just let me know. If not, then most likely you will never see any NEW names added to that list.

I will be starting “The Comfortable Girl” very shortly. I guess I could add that to my links. I will do that after posting this. It will all be explained on that website http:www.thecomfortablegirl.com. Be sure to check that out in the next week or so, I really want to get to work on that little project.

If you haven’t visited Zach Braff’s (Stephanie’s future husband) website, you should go. Really, it’s worth the trip.

I have decided to lose some weight. Not like a TON of weight, but this little stomach I have been collecting over the past month NEEDS to leave. It’s not a problem with my self-esteem, its more a goal I would like to accomplish. (I had to say that or my Nana would run over and feed me a feast and a half to make sure I wasn’t dieting) Seriously though, it was getting to the point of grossness. It’s like you eat a little more at dinner one night, and then the next night you eat MORE than the night before, and then the next morning your stomach has accepted the new challenge and has buldged out accordingly. This is NOT acceptable. This will not go on. I have put myself on a diet. Not a REAL diet, for I could never do that, but a Stephanie diet. This is what I will eat today:

I stoped into Jersey Giant Subs on my way to work this afternoon. I told the lady I would like a half a sub. At this point she went into her speech about how it is MUCH cheaper to just go ahead and buy the whole sub. After the: “And it’s only a dollar and half less in price for the half sub, which isn’t worth the money really…” I caved in. I had assumed that I would eat a half of the half for lunch, and the remaining half of the half for dinner. (If you have not had a sub from Jersey Giant you would not understand this concept) Then after purchasing my whole sub and drink, I left thinking to myself that I will save the other 3 peices for meals some other time. For as every sub fan knows, a sub from Jersey Giant does keep quite well in the fridge. Okay Okay Okay. I also bought a bag of chips. I couldn’t help it. They were my favorite and they were staring up at me right by the register!!!! I wasn’t going to tell you. But there it is, and now my conscience is clear. So I get to my cube and I pull out the sub, as I had originally planned, AND I only ate 1/4th of the sub. I also only ate 4 chips. I then folded up the sub, placing it into the work fridge, and returning to my desk quite satisfied with myself. Now my stomach is raging mad, because he is used to getting a 1/2 of the sub, along with a full bag of chips and a cookie to boot. He is mad! But I told him “NO”. (I’m not crazy or anything, come on… everyone call’s their stomach something… right?)

I have also took to exercising. Once again, this is not REAL exercising, it’s more like Stephanie exercising. Last night I did 50 situps (Okay 20, but i plan on doing 50 today, my cat was crawling on me, and it wasn’t working out that well…) followed by a about an hour of running around the family room getting my adrenaline up so much that i was panting with in 10 minutes. But I ran more and more. I did everything you can do, I jumped back and forth punching the air, I did summer-saults back and forth, I danced like a mad person, then I did jumping jacks followed by a couple of laps up and down the basement stairs. A half hour (and a little crazier) later, I found in my house some of those neato weights that are like 5 pounds each. You can imagine how fun it was to run around the family room with those in my hands. Of course I punched the air with weights in my hands, I did some “weights-in-hands-jumping-jacks”, followed by, oh yes, running up and down the stairs with the weights. So the next time you are sitting at home watching TV late at night, think of me, crazily flopping, flipping, and running around my family room. Maybe I will make a video of it and put it online for you all to laugh at. Yeah Right! I would like to keep the 5 friends I have.

I got a hampster. I named him about 8 different names. First I thought he might be a male, so I thought of the names: Edwin, Jonny, Alex, Dean, and Pancake. Those didn’t quite fit. But then he did something that made me think he was female. The names: Libby, Fran, Waffle, Anna, and Tapanga came into mind. His name was offically Tapanga (And yes i DO like the TV show Boy Meets World) for a couple of minutes, until I realized that he must be a boy, for he was too crazy to be a girl named Tapanga. His name was therefore changed to the only name that was reasonable now, Cory. I will take a picture of Cory and post him online as soon as find the effort to find my camera and go through all steps of placing a picture on this website. He is adorable. I have never had a pet hampster. He likes running wheel marathons, those little pieces of corn in his mixed food bag, and country music.

This will be my last paragraph, I promise. I thought I should comment on the title of this entry. I am seriously addicted to Icee’s. Icee’s from the Burger King on West Road (The ONLY Icee’s worth it these days…). It is getting to the point where I might need a doctor to help with the addiction. Frozen coke is my nicotine. Get me that patch, quick! The machine thing? Oh, well that is self explanitory really. I just have felt a little machiny-like the past couple of weeks. I get up everyday and go one of two places. To work, or to school. I either sit in front of a professor, a computer, or a group of kids. I do the same thing week after week. I need to go to school, and I need to work, I just sometimes wish that maybe one week we could switch up the routine a little, you know? Maybe I could take the week off and go to school and work on the weekend. Or maybe my Calc class could take place in my cubicle. OR BETTER YET! I could get the kids at Sylvan to do MY homework, while sitting in my cubile at work! And I could just go to Australia for a week or so… sigh. Or not.

Well that is all the rambling I will indulge you with for today.

Have a good one!
