TOP 10 Thing I Am Obsessed With This Summer
—————————————————————————-

1) Nation. Partying at this unbelievably cool club, talking about it’s closing, talking about the people I’ve met there, reminiscing about past fun times (aaah, Luke Slater! man, Junior Vasquez on my last night in DC!)

2) Downloading and listening to every song that Daft Punk has ever crafted or mixed.

3) The pain in my hips. Why do I hurt when I get out of bed in the morning? Why do I hurt walking down stairs more than up? Why can’t I run? Why do the ellipticals hurt now? I also hurt in my lower back. Fuck. I’m all shades of fucked up! This can’t be because of running. Alright, I’m calling the doc on Monday morn.

4) The World Cup. I canceled an afternoon date to watch Italy vs. USA (and that was a GREAT game that I’m glad I didn’t miss out on!) I insisted on eating @ Ruby Tuesday’s because the bartender allowed us to turn up the volume on their TV and because we didn’t realize that we couldn’t get home fast enough from shopping to catch Australia v Brazil. I’m freaking out because Mexico plays on Tuesday morning–how do I get out of work for 2 hours in the morning before I fly out to Minneapolis? SHEESH!

5) Men. Instead of spending time thinking about where I am in life, what I want, what I need, if I’m mature enough or ready or even have time for any kind of relationship beyond dating… Instead of THINKING and self-exploration, I’m out there proactively meeting guys without regard to what I want beyond the first date! That guy I met last night was SOOOO cute and sweet. Must remember to pay visit to Bus Boys and Poets when I get back from Minneapolis (work conference that we’ve been preparing for since December, well for a while before that even!)

6) Work. I’m not obsessed about it, I just spend too much time there. I pull out my house keys to get into the office when it’s locked.

7) weight training. since I can’t run, I lift weights and you have GOTTA see these guns–my arms are fierce!

Having fun! My old best friend is back and we’re taking over the city! Paul’s carpe diem attitude has got me doing things I haven’t done in AGES. Thursday night at the Octopus Bar, closing down Velvet, dancing in the streets to the beats blasting from my cell phone! I am already sad about his departure back to school in August! what will I do now? uuurrgh!

9) My sister Susan. Since she’s died little things make me want to cry.

10) Woot.com. Visit this site and love it!

Things I used to be obsessed with:
—————————————————————————-
1) Gay men (how quickly I forget pride and that last b

2) Gay clubbing

3) Running (*SIIIIIGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*)

4) All other forms of working out

5) Ex-boyfriends. sort of. Bryan was a trip!

6) Tripping

7) My next door neighbor. Things have quieted down a bit (KNOCK ON WOOD) since the gun slinging days of the past.

Friendster and Myspace meet ups. Thank God I don’t do that shit no more!

9) Cleaning my house. Now that Paul is here, everything is dirty! Who cares?

10) Decorating my house. Why buy a rug for 200 bucks when I can buy cute shoes and run around the city with Paul in ‘em?
