There are some things from college I may never let go. One of them will probably be late night ramen feedings. Hmmmm….ramen. Sooooo good. I’m currently heating it up. Oh yeah. And about that Post from my return to Princeton, I’ll get to that at some point. But for now, I have sweet sweet ramen to eat.

When most people talk about managing their food intake, it's a matter of trying to limit the consumption. For me, it's the opposite. I have to keep myself fed. And let me tell you, I'm not as good at it as you would think.
I have to keep my blood sugar up. If I don't, bad things happen. I become a world class jerk when my blood sugar drops. And it gets better, after that, I basically become a slow, drunken, emotional nut. Generally, there comes a point where it becomes unsafe for me to drive; I just can't make good decisions. So yeah, keeping my blood sugar up is important.
Now, for most people, this isn't an issue. But for me, if I skip a meal, I'll generally end up in a very bad place. Seriously. Missing meals is one of the worst things I can do. (It's one of the things I plan for when flying and why I always need at least an hour and a half at the airport). And I've done it twice over the past 48 hours. Just not good.
Sigh…
Anyway, tomorrow I'm traveling down to Portland for the Sakura-con general meeting. Going to be a fun drive. At least I will have company. Alright, time for the sleeping. I need to get moving.

I'm back. I actually got in yesterday, I've just been too tired to say anything. I'll write more about it later. I swear. For now, I sleep.

Once again, I am reminded why travelling is such a pain in the butt. I have so much to get done, and I only have about 2 and a half hours to do it. EEEEP. But I'm still excited. I'm going to see so many awesome people. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I'm really really excited. I just have to get there. Holy crap!!!
Life and Times
My hands are killing me. Which is good and bad. Bad because it hurts. But good because it means I climbed hard today. Bad because it means my hands and fingers are becoming a bit roughed up. But good because it means I won't blister when I play the drums next weekend (yay Brown Game). I just hope Nicole doesn't mind my hands being a big tough.
As you can probably tell, I went climbing today. What you may not know is that I went climbing yesterday. I hadn't been climbing in a while due to illness and just general exhaustion. But this week I got in a good twice a week. I'd probably go tomorrow too, if I weren't flying to South Bend and everything.
But today was a good climb. I've been working out in the mornings on my trainer board, and today, I got the chance to see it in effect. I didn't see it quite so much yesterday because I was tired and didn't really have my head in the climb. But today, oh, it was just so good. I was gripping all kinds of holds really well, especially my crimps (really tight finger holds). I'm very excited by just how well my grips were holding. It makes me feel like the time, effort, and money I put into the training has been worth while.
In other news, I got a hair cut today. A good hair cut. My hair (and goatee) is really well faded. I look much more clean cut and acceptable. Of course, since I went from afro to fade, everyone feels a need to comment. *shrugs* Oh well.
Alright, I need to get moving. Bed time is here, and I want to get up and get to the office early tomorrow. Word.
