FFS part 3

[tripathy]

I knew it. I knew ignoring that little asshole's messages wouldn't get him to stop. I ignored his last one, and then yesterday I got this:

hello [my name]
sorry to distueb u again, i have found auniversity which realy suit for me that is
(memorial university) and there is a well established department of earth science and lot people are there related to me.
i have a request to u that do u know any person there who can persue my case.
thanks

This time I responded. I hope it's undeniably clear enough, and hopefully rude enough:

You will have to contact them yourself. I will not be doing anything else for you, and I would appreciate it if you did not ask again.

If I get anything, anything more beyond this that says anything other than "thanks, bye", my response is going to be a very clear FU, and then tell him that continuing to contact me will be viewed as harassment.

Sheesh.

I have vacation days that I have to take before the end of the year on May 31, so I used three of them to stay home and encourage my back to recover. I'm doing much better, although my back still feels sort of like a tired, sore muscle. The train seat definitely didn't help this morning, and I'm not sure what I'm going to do about that. I never had this problem with the seats before, and I'm wondering if it's because I'm sitting differently in them because I'm packing less back than I used to?

Which brings me to the fact that I've lost 20 pounds since the end of February. I've been stuck at that amount for a couple of weeks now, but I think I'm getting past whatever roadblock was there and I should hit 21 today or tomorrow. Because of the slowdown I won't have lost enough weight to be able to wear my new dress to a party next Friday, but any progress is progress. So, go me!

Also, my RP addiction has been reawakened and has been half-consuming me for the past couple of weeks. And my god, does it ever feel good! The missing piece of my happiness has been restored. ^_^

I'm not surprised by the email-fellow's temerity either, sadly enough. You replied to him once, so of course you'll happily keep doing things for him! (It's a misconception he's unfortunately not alone in having.)

In regards to the weight, congratulations! I know it's a nuicance not to have lost as much as quickly as you would like, but slow and steady is actually better in the long run (healthier in the losing, and more sustainable). I'm wrestling with the opposite problem -- I work like a longshoreman for two months out of the year (spring and fall) and I'm having more and more trouble keeping the necessary muscle mass on in between. I also can't just harden to the work while I'm doing it like I did when I was younger because that way lies injury now, so I have to put effort into maintenance. :P I don't mind more time at the gym too much but the cause (aging) is a pain.

Well, it's been a while and I haven't heard from him again, so I hope that he is well and truly gone now. Of course, I kind of feel sorry for my counterpart at Memorial U now!

As for the weight loss, thanks! I'm actually up to 23 lbs now, so that's good, but I don't seem to be losing any of the weight from my middle, which is what I really want (after my first weight loss, my stomach sort of changed shape, and when I regained the weight it ended up sticking out funny and I want that GONE >_<). Anyway, I hope to keep losing at a fairly steady rate of about 2 lbs per week. There's a certain Transformers T-shirt of mine that needs to fit properly again in time for the premiere of the second movie in late June ^_~.

Sheesh. You'd think he would get the hint. You're not his mom. You're not going to lead him to school like he's still in kindergarten. >:|

I myself have lost some weight, so hooray for losing together! \o/

Oooh oooh! I know what's been so enticing to you rp-wise. 8D Let me know when you guys are ready and willing to meet the scheming, present Jenna Angel~ I love playing her, and I miss rp'ing with you too. :(

I think it's a cultural thing...most of the in-your-face annoyances I get are from that part of the world. Of course, cultural or not, I'm not putting up with that crap. If these people want to come study here, then they need to learn how to properly deal with the people here. I'm not going to conform to their expectations, and I have zero patience for that nonsense.

Yay! How are you doing it?

I finally know who that is! That'll be up to Sail, though, since she knows all and I just follow along (learning as I go).

I've been staying away from soda and candy for the most part on account of the high fructose corn syrup, and from anything with partially hydrogenated oil (trans fat). :) Just those two little things have helped a lot. And I've been cutting back on how much I eat, too.


Yeah. Sail doesn't know how she'll fit in, but we'll plot together with her. <3
