!??!?!!!
Guess what I did today! Are you done guessing? D'ya give up? I took a bike ride out to the Columbus Zoo! Do you know how far that is from Campus? It's 15 miles! There and back, 30 miles! I biked for 30 miles! Or...at least according to the Yahoo Maps thing it's 15 miles to get there. It only took me two hours, each way.
I went out there to do an assignment for my anthropology class, where I had to study primate and non-primate behavior. I studied the Bonobo Chimps, the Kangaroos, and the Australian Squirels. It was fun. The Zoo here is like an amusement park, with rides, lots of food, and a whole hell of a lot of kids. The kids cry and scream, and push in front of you when your trying to take notes on one specific specimen, who's moving as fast as it can to make sure you can't see what it's doing. The Dads spend the whole time ordering the kids around and looking stressed out, like they're in a combat zone. The mothers are all ignoring their kids as best they can, and they all got shirts with sayings on them like "Do I Look Like I Care?" or "LA LA LA, I'm not listening."
But it was still fun. Considering all the stressful things I've done today, I've had a good time, and I'm still in a good mood. The only bad part is that the Columbus Zoo is right next to the Wyandot Lake Water Park, and the last time I talked to my ex-boyfriend, The Suburban Pot-Head (who I'm still secretly pining over, and probably will be for the rest of my life) he told me that the guy that he's currently dating (!!?excuse me?!!) bought him a seasonal pass to Wyandot Lake. Welll, being there just reminded me of that. I felt so inadequate; I would never have thought of doing something sweet like that. The most I ever did for him was pay all his bills so he could spend all his money on cigarettes, pot, alcohol, and, horrors upon horrors, Cable TV.
Well, I'm sure he's very happy with his new guy, and I guess I'm happy for him, in my own way. At least I can comfort myself with the fact that if The Suburban Pot-Head ever tried to bike 30 miles in one day he'd probably have to go to the emergency room, and long before it got to that extreme situation he'd be crying on the side of the road, demanding that I bike to the next gas-station and call his Mommy to come pick him up.
Grumbling noises...clenching of fists...secret vows to do something snotty and childish to him one day...
Oh, by the way, here is a list of the things I ate today: A salad with healthy greens such as Spinach, Escarole, Romaine Lettuce, and something purplish; 12 large peices of Sushi with Tuna, Avocado, Daikon Radish, White Ginger, and Sesame Seeds; Rice and Brocolli Casserole with Bacon; Rosemary and Kalamata Olive Wheat Bread with Sun Dried Tomato Cream Chesse.
You know, one of the symptoms of The Risperdal (the drug I'm taking) is increased interest in food. I don't know what else I'm experiencing from the drug, but this is one thing that's unmistakable. So, yeah, I'm gonna gain a little weight. But hey, that's just fine by me.
