i took the new guy D to play basketball today. he's good! at least, he has good instincts. his shot is a little rusty, but his handles are nice (between the legs and behind his back), and he made some sick no-look passes. i am jealous of people who've had formal training in basketball fundamentals. i started playing at my first company T, so no one really taught me how to play. i still can't dribble worth shit, especially with my right hand.
yesterday, at sweet tomatoes, i was eating some of that cheese bread, and i coughed. i felt something go up my esophagus, and for a while, i was breathing funny. i kept blowing my nose, and eventually, this soggy, cheesy nickel-sized piece of bread came out of my right nostril. damn! i'm surprised it could even fit through my nasal passageway. hehe.
half an hour ago, i went to the bathroom and squeezed my zit. all this white squiggly stuff came out, and yes, i did smell it (but did not eat it). it had a very distinct, oily odor. i rubbed it between my thumb and index finger, and it made a paste. interesting stuff. so now my zit is a little smaller. maybe i'll keep doing this until it'll go away, hopefully.
when you like someone, how much of it is emotional, and how much of it is empirical? i have a hard time separating the two. i think i'm very susceptible to love goggles. like, when i fall in love with someone, everything about them is wonderful and stuff. and when i finally fall out of love with them for whatever reason, i'm like, "what the hell did i see in them?" there are very few girls that i will always like. the rest of them (like cwg and k4, to name a few), i don't understand what i saw in them or what was so great about them. hm. that doesn't bode well for me in terms of the next girl i go out with, because if i ever stop liking her, then i'm going to be in a dead relationship from my stance.
i think a lot of it is that i get bored really easily. i mean, when you first get together with a girl, there's a lot of room for exploration. you get to learn about a whole other person, their habits, quirks, their past, etc. but once everything has been said, then what? once, i had lunch with k1 at the dorm dining hall, and we said nothing the entire time. that raised a huge red flag for me. we broke up a few months later. i think one of the secrets in a relationship is to keep building new memories by staying active. routines are killer, you know?
i'm having a hard time sleeping through the night. i keep waking up at 4am and finding it difficult to fall back asleep again. hm. maybe i'm sleeping too much. i remember back when i lived with jay at leghorn, i used to go to bed at 2am; i have no earthly idea what i was doing staying up so late. nowadays, i'm in bed by 10, watching sportscenter, and i get up about 12 hours later.
what causes cold sores? i have one on the left corner of my lips, and the last time i got one, it turned out to be a staph infection. i had to see my dermatologist and take antibiotics. ick.
*yawn* ok. it's 5pm. 20 minutes until my massage. can't wait!
