I'm sick!

Fat, so run! (reads --->fatso run!)
Wow! I can't believe I really got sick: phlegm, sore throat, coughs, and all. I must be really out of shape to get this sick. And I looked at the scale and OMG, I thought I was imagining things. This time it's no excuse, regardless of the fact that I came home from dinner et al, I should not have let myself go and be soooo unhealthy. I don't feel bad for myself for letting myself go, as much as really being disappointed. I guess I have to up the anty. Riding my bike, walking to school, and my 20-40 minute cardio is not enough...I think I have to run! =-O

I should run and actually get prepared for the Bay to Breakers. I should be able to run 7 miles with a costume under 90 minutes. That is my goal. Great, now I can't or shouldn't give in to my sweet tooth.

The 'Rents
I finally told my mother that I am agnostic after a very nagging phone call of "Why don't you find a church?" and "You need to call me every two days!" Ummm, yea right. I have never listened to you in all of my living existence, so what makes you think I will now.

She is the least knowledgeable person I know to date, or well just as much as my middle sister, and decides that she is almighty. She tells me what to do with everything and it is always soooo wrong. We are the exact opposite: she nags and I go away. Geeez, she got pissed off when I said I believe in Evolution and definitely not in "creation".

She has told me (not asked) that I need a place to go to pray and it can't be at home; I need religion; to get married or make my bf marry me; put my money in her bank's low yielding interest CD, instead of my own bank's much higher rate; to go visit her on my bday; calls me on her bday to remind me that its her bday; asks what presents I've got for her; not to go out so much; and basically, don't have fun.

But, my dad and I are pretty much alike: we are both hot heads, science buffs, and share a love of chirashi and noodle soup. He knows that I do not solely believe in Catholicism and is fine with it. We actually talk every other day and this drives my mother insane!

All I can say is, if she actually played/talked/read with us when we were little kids, then maybe my two younger sisters and I would actually like her. Oh and if she hadn't cheated on my dad, that would have helped too.

The moral(s) of the story ----> kids choose one parent over another for a reason and kids always know what is going on.

:::Saturday:::

• Went to Keeble and Shuchat to check out the new digi cam I 'm planning to get. I finally sold my Nikon Coolpix 775 and will be getting either a Pentax Optio 5si or a Pentax Optio X. It's a $20 difference between the two on pricegrabber, yet I am unsure if I want the swivel option to take pictures of myself and ____ . Which one would you prefer?
• Attempted to buy my Chinese philosophy book at the school bookstore, but they are closed on the weekends. Lame.
• Finally found Porridge King! The only place I really know in Daly City. We got lost, irritated, and relieved once found. Ahhhhhh, noodle soup palace! But, I had to get the super addicting egg and shrimp on rice plate. I think it has MSG, so good!
• Twin Peaks on a warm and clear day----> Not as scary as Tank Hill at 4 a.m.! I wasn't so fearful of heights here because of the hills in between us and the cityscape. It was gorgeous. Jon and I were actually taking a whole bunch of pics for some tourists, but mine kept asking for different shots, kinda funny. And the mexi ladies selling SF fleecewear were hollering at Jon to buy some fleece cause he was the only one wearing a short sleeved shirt. Believe me that boy, is always hot! ***wink***
• Headed to the Haight to surprise my friend from hs who I haven't seen in years. She was surprised and made plans to k.i.t. (just wanted to use that)! Afterwards, heard some dude hollering at my boy(friend) and it was his bff (best friends forever) chillin' at a bay window at a friend's apt on Haight. We went up and hollered at people as well. It was a sic place. From the window, we resolved a parking confrontation; the boys swooned girls with their guitar/vocal? skills; threw pennies at girls to lure them; and I yelled at a guy with a film camera to record us for whatever film project he was up to.
• Then, to Union Square for a brief stint of returning failed internet purchases.
• Dinner time at the Richmond district to get our grub on with Jen and Uly at a super cheap sushi boat place. $1.00 to $2.00 plates and it was good. Afterwards, we went to a crazy lookin' Japanese style container store; a bookstore which advertised forbidden books that we were not able to locate and a crazy ass fish/flower store combo! I was starting to fall in love with a tank full of shrimps and purple sea cucumbers, when my bf told me to look at the bottom. It was a pile of dead shrimps! **wimpers**The red shrimps were eating the clear shrimps! Ahhhh! Isn't that shrimp canabalism or something?
• We were both finally tired and my throat was so itchy, we decided to go home. Until, I realize we were on Fillmore in Pac Heights and this could only mean one thing---> Coffee Bean! So, I got some relief in a Green Tea Ice Blended. Then, of course, I had to pee!
  
• This time we were in the Marina/Cow Hollow so we make a pit stop at the Bus Stop, a bar and not a stop for the muni. As, I was waiting in line, a bunch of drunken girls stumble out of the stall with (1) their pants unzipped, (2) underwear in full view, and (3) piss on their pants! It is nasty when you get way out of control. So, we pee and leave. But, I spot a pretty happenning bar called Bar None. Inside, I felt at home. Yuppies and preppies galore! It was chill with good tunes playing and the best part of it was that they make a pretty sic Snake Bite!

By now, I'm really pooped.
