Damnit, everyone's already drowned out everything I was going to say. But I'm going to say it anyway because this is actually a good day, so far anyway.

Today is my 22nd birthday. I was kinda loathing that, because I don't feel like I should be grown up yet, but many of my friends are considerably older than me and they're not grown up yet either, so it's not that big of a deal. And on a definitely happy note, I'm down to 166 pounds. I think it's from eating lots of unsalted, unbuttered popcorn - it fills me up, tricks my metabolism into accelerating, and is only 10 calories per serving (which is only a cup, but engorging myself on three cups is still only 30 calories, and they're all in the form of complex carbohydrates too - definitely a winning proposition for weight loss). I call this the popcorn diet.

I already rewarded myself with a present - I ordered yet another big batch o' anime from express.com - but I think today I'll go all-out and finally take my first step into the world of body modification. I think I'm going to reshape my earlobes the way I like. It's something which would definitely be aesthetically pleasing, to myself anyway, without any serious consequences later on. I'm most likely going to use a very simple technique. You know those big black binder clips which look like the aliens from Sesame Street? As far as I'm concerned, they're an essential tool for the DIY bodymodder.

Oops, gotta go... I'm at work and I hear El Jefe coming. :)
