One Twenty Five

Pssh, whatever, I’m going to write this anyways. Soooooo, I was, like, thinking… (oh shut it you, sometimes this is a gooood thing) anywho, so yes, I was thinking and enough is enough of this (online) pity-pity party for me-me-me. For Christ’s sake, I am in MELBOURNE, A. U. S. T. R. A. L. I. A. That’s, umm, like, awesome.

I went for a run tonight and while neandering (right word. see comments) along it occurred to me I can panic, and freak out, and blog about this n’ that being hard and shitty and crappy until I’m blue in the face, but nobody is going to find that job for me, lose the jiggle off my ass for me, make friends for me, or create a good life for me.

Sounds so obvious, I know. But I do this thing where I just wait… and wish… and hope.. and do NOT actually DO, like I’ll sit on the couch and eat ice-cream while wishing I was skinny while watching the biggest loser (#truestory happened yesterday) or wish I had a job while watching Vampire Diaries (#swoon Damon Salvador), ORRRRRRRRR I can make lists, and goals, and not refresh facebook a billion times a day, while trying to creep do my (unpaid) private investigator work on facebook, when I have jobs to find, friends to charm into inviting me places (YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO MELBOURNE PEOPLE), and new running paths to explore.

So yup. Hello Internet. I am back. And ready to FIGHT. Bahaha. That sounds so lame, but whatever, I’ve done some soul searching in my bed at 11am the past week, and figured I gotta change, and as the proof is in the pudding, I do better when I DECLARE TO THE WORLD (you) MY GOALS.

So here they are. I wrote this list January 3rd, 2012:

• Move to Melbourne, Australia
       One-way ticket booked January 29, 2012 at 5:00 pm
• To create a new, good life for myself
       Find friends
       Find a new house
       Find a job  
  
• Running
       Find a running group in Melbourne
       Great Ocean Road Marathon - May 20, 2012
       Gold Coast Marathon - July 2, 2012 (depending on $$)
       Melbourne Marathon - October 2012
       5k, 10k, and Half Marathon Races
• Cross-Fit/Weights
       Join a bootcamp or cross-fit group
       Run and do weight training / cross fit / swimming?
• Weight
       To settle into a healthy routine by watching what I eat and find a doctor-approved healthy weight (one twenty five).
• Dating
       put. myself. out. there. more
       don’t be such a picky asshole
       take chances
• Travel
       save money to travel ALL of Australia after Melbourne
       New Zealand?

I know, I know, I’m a little late to the New Years Goal department, but whatever, better late than never, I’m ready to be productive, not wish, but do, and find a balance in this little life I lead. After all, this is the only time in my life I’ll be this young, this fabulous, this awesome, and all that jazz, so gotta make it count!
