has anybody seen my brain today?

(apologies to green velvet).

zzz. zzz.

as a quick word of explanation, i'm on a diet and have started going to a gym because since i graduated from university, i've gained 10~15lbs. while i'm technically still in the "healthy" range for BMI and body-fat percentage, i'm only just barely there. i'm feeling fat and squishy. i'd say the squishyness is more bothersome than the fatness, but they kind of go hand in hand. also, i've had to buy all new jeans.

it's kind of funny. when i was in school, every time i came home for vacation or went back after a break, practically everyone would ask me if i lost weight. it was like i ballooned up in people's memories when i wasn't around. it was mildly disturbing, actually. now, of course, i have gained weight. we'll just have to see what happens when i do in fact lose it.
