Lent.

Although I am not Catholic, I think the concept of Lent is a valuable step in reaching self-actualization. Therefore, I will be participating this year. My plan is to give up something that plays too much of a role in my life, and well as practice my own version of fasting.
What I plan to do for Lent:
Cut out excess sweets. This in particular means NO BROWNIES, CHEESECAKE, or COOKIES.
Also, no non-diet soda or snacking.
I will attempt to rid myself from feeling self-conscious, self-doubt, self-pity and a lack of self-esteem. This means I cannot put myself down in front of others and I need to stop complaining. I will also stop trying to "out-do" others with how much my life sucks.
Modifications may be made.
This is a note to self.

Goodnight Moon.

From This Moment On.

Valentine's Day.

Here is another post about a single person's perspective on Valentine's Day:

Valentine's Day is tomorrow, and I am a single lady.
Here are my plans:
I will go to work from 6 am to 10 am. After work, I will probably go back to my room and take a nap or study for my Inqisit exam that I have at 2 pm. After my exam, I will spend the rest of the day reading or shopping or on the internet.
This looks like a pretty regular day to me. Not much time to feel sorry for myself. I am not sure I would even know it was Valentine's Day if I wouldn't have looked it up earlier.

If I had a boyfriend, this is what I would be doing tomorrow:
I would wake up to the sound of my door closing. My eyes would flutter open, and I would notice a beautiful bouquet of roses next to me on the pillow, and along with it, a note. The note would tell me to get dressed and follow the trail of rose petals out of my room, which I would do. They would lead me outside to where a Batmobile would be waiting for me on the sidewalk. My boyfriend would then press a button so the door opens for me and I would climb into the vehicle. We would jet off across the lawn and around campus, then the Batmobile would turn into a Batplane and we would fly by the windows of the residence halls throwing out fine wrapped chocolates and waving to all our friends. Then we would fly to Montana where we spend the rest of the morning horseback riding through the mountains. My boyfriend would then surprise me with a quaint picnic in a shaded clearing, where we would eat homemade finger sandwiches and chocolate-covered strawberries and drink sparkling cider. After our romantic picnic, we would ride back to the Batplane and fly to New York, where we would go explore the MoMA and take pictures of sights of the city and go shopping at all the fine boutiques. Then my boyfriend would take me to the Statue of Liberty, where we attend a glamorous ball and enjoy a live performance by Lady Gaga, M.I.A., Drake, Lil' Wayne, Panic at the Disco, and Tony Bennett. I forgot to mention that my boyfriend is Zac Efron. We dance, mingle, and laugh the entire evening, until we find ourselves in the torch of the Statue of Liberty to watch the sunset. I would be nervous and scared because of the heights, but my boyfriend would embrace me and assures me that I am safe, curing my fear of heights. Then we would kiss and fireworks would explode around us. We would get back into the Batplane and fly to his house, where we would snuggle and watch the new season of America's Next Top Model and drink hot cocoa and then watch Flesh for Frankenstein. During the movie Flesh for Frankenstein, I would fall asleep in his arms.

I am really glad I don't have a boyfriend though, because if I did, I would miss work, fail my exam, and get no homework done. It all just works out nicely.

Happy VD!!
