ughhhh I need to update this...

Soooo, I'm meeting with a nutritionist in a few weeks because I couldn't handle figuring this diet out on my own. I'm also finding it hard to locate any R.D.'s who have experience with an endo-based diet, so we'll see how it goes. I owe a better update than this and I was essentially determined to not have this blog fall by the wayside like my triathlon one. Okay, so I guess here's a post because I was tagged, and I love Allison - she's awesome, so I'm giving in to her request :)

Step 1: respond and rework -- answer the questions on your own blog, replace one question that you dislike with a question of your own invention, add one more question of your own.

Step 2: tag - eight other un-tagged people (ok, I didn't do this)

1) What are you wearing right now?
hmmm...jeans that are medium wash, boot-cut from Old Navy...recently the zipper hasn't been staying up which means I need to make sure I wear underwear all the time (yes, this is a problem of mine), a white button down shirt with pen marks on the front, a teal tank top meant to be worn working out, l.l. bean wool socks and two silver bangles. I had a job evaluation earlier so I had to look somewhat presentable.


2) What is your biggest fear?
Allison - I completely agree with your fear of unimaginable devestation, etc. Last night I was googling things bout 2012, and although it's pretty likely it won't happen, it's also pretty hard to ignore when every other thing on The History Channel/National Geographic/Discovery is about THE END OF THE WORLD/...PREDICTED THE WORLD WILL END/MAYANS PREDICT DESTRUCTION/WORLD IN BLACKNESS/ETC.
Sometimes I get really panicky thinking about it.
In more "relate-able" fears, I immensely dislike fish and have gone so far as to stop swimming in ponds or lakes because of it. I do not like to fly, being in reallllly tall buildings because I swear I can feel them swaying, the unknown, and death...as in, will I know I'm dying and will it hurt?


3) What is the one thing you're really nerdy about? And don't say you aren't nerdy, because let's face it... everyone is a little nerdy about at least one thing.

I really don't know that I'm nerdy about ONE thing, as opposed to just being a big nerd in general. I tend to get fixated on ideas or concepts such as being a white water rafting instructor or hiking the Appalachian trail all the way through. I really like cooking gadgets and baking and sometimes I talk to my boyfriend's turtle, whom I refer to as my step-turtle, Otis. Hmmmm...I think I'm just overall nerd.


4) Who is the last person you hugged?
Jason, probably since I don't really see anyone else up here haha


5) What websites do you visit when you go online?
ummm usually my google.com/reader, facebook, my umaine email account, sometimes myspace if i remember i have it, craigslist missed connections and perezhilton.com...haha i read some pretty heady stuff, huh?

6.) If you had a secret power, what would it be?
the uncanny ability to replicate money out of thin air!!!


7) If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
I have such a long list for this:
Ireland/England/Scotland
Russia
Australia
Kenya (I want to go with you whenever you go again, Allison...haha I just invited myself!)
Japan
Iceland
Costa Rica
The Caribbean
Peru
Alaska
Thailand
Fiji
Guam
seriously, there's probably few places I wouldn't want to go.


8) If you woke up tomorrow and were a boy, what is the first thing you would do and why?
Definitely pee standing up and probably rubbing one out haha sorry, tmi??? probably because I could and never had before...why not?!


9) Has a celebrity's hair cut ever influenced your own hairstyle?
I like when Sarah Jessica Parker has short curly hair on Sex and the City, although mine is too fro-ish to ever be able to replicate.

10) What is your most embarassing moment?
OMG, what ISN'T? I feel like my whole life is one embarassing moment these days...
Hmmm recently: I was walking home from school and there's a cut-through in the park that allows traffic to go through one way. I was on the phone and all of the sudden BOOM, I'm laying on the ground, face first with my phone about 5 feet away. I had no idea what had happened for a good minute or two. Apparently one of those plastic twine things that hold bundles of newspapers together had been frozen in the ice, still intact. Essentially, my foot got stuck in it and I kept walking, catapulting me through the air, landing on my face. There was a ton of cars in traffic waiting to go through the street and I know they all saw...


11) What was the last movie you watched?
Into the Wild, even though I've seen it before, I love that movie.

12) If you had a whole day to yourself with no work, commitments, or interruptions what would you do?
I know I'd probably make a list the night before if I knew I was going to have the day to myself, but I also know I probably wouldn't follow the list and would end up logging on the couch like a whale all day.


13) If you were to win the Powerball, what would you do with the money (besides invest it)?
Ohhh man...celebrate by getting rip-roaringly drunk for a week straight, haha. Then I'd pay off all my student loans, including the ones my parents have in my name, pay back the few grand I owe Jason, pay off my friends loans/mortgages/whathaveyou, buy a car and buy my dad a motorcycle, buy a house near the ocean, donate a good portion to various charities and maybe pay Clinton and Stacey to come and tell me what not to wear. I'd also pay Ryan Gosling to come touch my boob.


14) If you could convince everyone you knew to read one book... what book would it be, and why?
Oh man, I dunno. Ummmm...maybe Anne of Green Gables? lol i have no idea, i dont think many people would like that book. Into The Wild was pretty good, so wasn't The Things They Carried. I like too many to pick just one that i know would be universally liked.

15) If you could make one scientific discovery/invention/novel idea what would it be?
ummmm...I really like the fart powered car idea, Al! I don't think I'd ever have to pay for fuel again. haha

16.) What do you think the worst outfit you've ever worn has been?

I can still recall, to this day, wearing a handmedown plaid jumper from my cousin Jami. It was in fifth grade and I was made fun of horribly. It was shades of green, red, blue and black - basically all primary colors. They were in a wear plaid pattern with pockets in the front. I actually think it may have been shorts, but anywho, I wear a red turtleneck underneath and blue tights with mary janes. It was tragic and I still am remorseful for it.
