Back when I apparently didn’t eat

If someone’s Twitter profile page says that they are following 35,000 people, than I somehow doubt that their ‘personalized’ request for me to follow them back means much. It doesn’t help that all their tweets are private. How do I know if you’re interesting if I can’t read your tweets / journal entries / etc.? This is also why I don’t have a MySpace.

Spent all night last night trying to catch up on e-mail correspondence, and in the process, forgot to call my mom and check on her, which I am not especially proud of. I did get the gerbil cage cleaned, though, which I’ve been promising to do for a couple of weeks.

MikhailBorg at age 19 cynical_prophet sent me this picture of myself from 1988. I was kind of down that night, and the pic was a surprise, so I don’t have the best expression. Starr had a fairly amusing reaction: “Is that you!?”

“Yes, it’s me, about 20 years ago.”

“Wait… you still have that shirt!”

“Not that it fits, it’s a size medium or so.”

“More like size Tiny!”

Temperatures are down a little, so I am walking again. Missed yesterday, but I aim for a mile today!

EDIT: Hokey smokes, they are sending my mom home from the hospital on Friday. Now that, boys and girls, is a solid recovery. I know she’s going to love getting to see her kitty again!

    still has some of those 20 year old shirts, too. So do I, actually, although they are starting to fall apart a bit. (And mine are too tight around the…ummm…chest region.)

    Cute picture. That’s great news about your mom! If you haven’t called her today…

    I used to be that thin too. I think the calorie count in food has increased since the end of the 80’s. How else does one account for the weight gain. I ate everything in sight back then and couldn’t gain an ounce. Now, if I even look at food, I gain weight.

    Yep, I talked to her last night. She is quite happy to be getting out, seeing her kitty, and catching up on her e-mail 🙂 I’ll be calling her tonight at nanoreid’s house!
