day 23

I've officially not smoked as many days as I've been alive. Whoopee! And I certainly haven't gone this long since I had my first cigarette. Which I still remember vividly. I was smoking pot with some people (Yes, I remember all of their names, but won't share them for anonymity purposes). One of the girls I was with told me that If I smoked a cigarette after I smoked weed I would get 33% higher... but even better, if I smoked two cigarettes I would get 50% higher. I don't know where she got those numbers, or where the person she got them from did. But it's total bullshit. Smoking cigarettes doesn't make you more stoned. At all. It certainly is not her fault that I started smoking. I liked cigarettes. A lot more than pot. Every time I smoked pot I thought it was poisoned and I was dying. Cigarettes just made me feel fucking sharp. Not like I was having an aneurysm. Alas, I am a smoker no more. I am a mother f-ing non-smoker!! YEAH!

I haven't been writing in this as much as I'd like. It's hard to balance working full time, working out, cleaning my apartment, errands, relationship, family, and friend time... and still make time to write something fresh in here. Plus, my absolutely amazing boyfriend has been here since Friday. Yesterday was our two year anniversary. We had an awesome lazy day... went and saw the new movie 'Crazy Heart' with Jeff Bridges and Maggie Gyllenhaal. It was SOO good! You have to go see it. I think one of the best parts was when the drunken washed up country crooner Bad (Jeff Bridges) was in the liquor store looking at what kind of booze he could afford. The shopkeeper comes up to talk to him and says something along the lines of 'I'm a huge fan, my name's Bill Wilson' ... I laughed out loud. Whoever wrote the screenplay really did their research. The booze seller being Bill Wilson and all. Chuckle chuckle.

I am really enjoying the Olympics. The figure skating pairs finals are tonight... I love them! So romantic. The winter games are so much better than the summer games though, for real. Summer games have powerwalking. Winter games have snowboarding. Plus, snow is just magical! I've watched figure skating, luge, speed skating, cross country skiing, snowboard cross... it's so fun! I want to see more figure skating and the ski jump. That will be awesome! I missed the individual ski jump, but the team ski jump will happen in a few days and I will catch that. Here is a link to the olympic schedule if you are concerned with any of this: 2010 Olympic Schedule. In there you'll also find results of medal events that have happened already... USA has already won 6 medals, but just one gold. Whatevs. I just like watching the Olympics. Sure I hope America wins a bunch (USA! USA! USA!) but I also like when the underdog wins, or the love story prevails, or the guy who got through cancer beats the odds... you know? Good stuff. Ok. I need to go to the gym so I can get back here to watch the pairs figure skating medal event! Go China love team!! Heehee. Thank God I don't live in the McCarthy era, because if they saw this I would certainly be arrested for treason. I'm not rooting for Communism, McCarthyists, I'm rooting for love!
