This Was A Lot Of Food

I didn’t really think that vegetables could be so filling, but I was proven wrong tonight. MH and I went to go eat at a Japanese hot pot restaurant where I ordered the veggie meal. I didn’t even get to half of my plate before I was full and I didn’t even eat that much rice! That was a lot of food.

I tried to go shopping again for my sister today, but I couldn’t find what I wanted to get her. I can get it online, but I would rather support the local stores, you know? But we’ll see. I was able to pick up some Christmas things. I have to start signing a few Christmas cards now since The Daily Cal is done with production in one week. And in two, I face the parents.

I’m scared.

Also, in two weeks, I cut my hair. I need to. It’s that cliché thing that people do after break-ups, I know, but maybe it’s cliché for a reason, you know? I have no idea what I’m going to look like. My plan is to go in, say I need a haircut, and let him take care of the rest. The only requirement I’ll have is that it’ll be about mid-length. Forty-percent of my hair can’t be shorter than my chin, but I don’t want it to extend too far down my back either.

Well, we’ll see what happens. We’ll see.

This Is Cleaning Up

You know what I realized? This particular journal not only documents the end of our relationship, but also the beginning. I’m not going to go back and read though. It would just kill me if I did.

I always seem to be more productive at night. I’m currently in the mood to get rid of the shirts I will never wear again. I’m out of hanger space, unfortunately. I’m also trying to clean out the loads of music that I have on my laptop’s hard drive. I have the tendency to download full albums thinking that I’ll give them all a listen, but I never do. Now that I have the time, might as well, right?

I really hope that SB doesn’t become my Mr. Big, my Ross, my Ryan, my McDreamy. What do all these fictional men have in common? Well, in every series, there’s always that one couple. The one that had dated and broke up but always had feelings for each other despite having dated other people. Okay, true, Ross and Rachel got back together in the series finale, but they had years of emotional turmoil. Okay, Marissa died in Ryan’s arms and all, but he still loved her despite everything. As for McDreamy, well, that relationship isn’t over yet. Since there’s going to be a movie for Sex and the City, Big isn’t done either. My point is, I don’t want SB becoming that man, the one that can still make me fall to my knees years from now, the one that can still break my heart at the snap of his fingers, the drug.

I have a problem and that is step one. Step two is to slowly overcome the drug. Step three is make a new me. Well, I may be jumping to step three soon. I want to cut my hair. I don’t know if I’ll have enough hair for Locks of Love, but I’ll ask the hairstylist to see what he thinks will look good on me. I plan to get my hair done before I break the news to my parents. I’m thinking of breaking it to them possibly in the afternoon or early evening. I don’t know yet really. I’m just glad that my sister will be there with me.
