Foodie Fridays.

This is me on the regular, on the days when I’m not toasting at a sports bar, or eating Bon-Chon. When I actually have a kitchen to cook in, and easy access to a grocery store. I used to be all about that life, and then I moved, fell into a slump, and found myself making excuses for things that used to be important to me, because other things (like a fucking job and apartment) took priority. I’m still working on all of the above, but am slowly working on getting my fitness back on track. Not because summer is right around the corner, but because I’m fucking fat.

OK, not fat. But definitely not happy with the current state of my body. For the first time ever, I’m ashamed to wear a bikini. I used to live in those dammit! So I’ve been cutting down on carbs (practically eliminated them all together), and alcohol (exception for date night at Perbacco!). I don’t drink soda anyway, and the only excessive sugar intake I get is in my coffee, so I think I should be OK as long as I keep it up.

Anyway, I follow a few fitness accounts on Instagram including My Healthy Dish and decided to try out a few of her recipes. The first one being mock shrimp and pineapple fried rice with quinoa.

Diary Of A Fat, Skinny Girl.

I’m no health nut by any means, but I’d definitely say I’m one of the healthiest eaters out of all my friends. I’m the weird girl at the bar that orders celery sticks with light ranch dressing, and prefers a sugar-free Red Bull at the club. Somehow, I was born with an affinity for deep fried Oreos as well as an obsession for kale.

If you were to take a tour of my kitchen, you’d probably make a beeline for the nearest gas station or liquor store in dire need of some artificial flavors. I’m actually really good at grocery shopping. I’m not trying to snag the cover of Fitness Magazine, so I don’t go too crazy, but  I know what’s good for my body and what isn’t. I’m fine when I’m by myself, but peer pressure is a BITCH.

The other day I get back from Trader Joe’s with my mom, and start unpacking bags of quinoa, almond milk, fresh fruits, and veggies, etc. Then, she dumps two sandwich bags of fried chicken skin on the table right next to my skinless chicken breasts. The irony of it all kills me. Not only that, but it’s accompanied by a small container of vinegar and garlic. My compression pants are just begging to be burned at this point.

I know I just went on and on about being healthy, but fuck some celery sticks! Fried chicken skin is definitely one of my favorite things to munch on while guzzling down a San Miguel. But I mean, who does that? Who prints out recipes from My Healthy Dish.com and goes grocery shopping with me, then slaps me in the face with fried chicken skin? My mom, that’s who. After my fifth piece, I had to tell her to hide it. And she did (challenge accepted!).

As I type this now, careful to not get chicken grease on my keyboard, I’m feeling rather ashamed. But not as ashamed as when I first found the chicken skin a few minutes ago in the very top cabinet over the kitchen counter (nice try mom). You should’ve seen me looking like a fucking crack addict, crouched over on a stool, too excited to get my fix that I totally ignored the bananas and apples screaming, “Noooo, eat me instead!” in front of me. I looked worse than Amanda Bynes’ last Twitpic.

Needless to say, I have a problem. I love fried chicken skin, that’s my fucking problem.

Perfect (non)Sense – TBT Post 08.12.10

Sometimes we do things and have no idea why we do them. Sometimes we say one thing and then do another. Sometimes we feel a certain way and then our actions reflect just the opposite. And then sometimes we want to go to Great America and feel like a kid again and ride all the rides and eat all the bad theme park food and take pictures in the picture booth and then go back to the car to drink some Henn and apple juice so that you got a nice lil’ buzz for the fireworks show – with only one person in the entire world. And then, we ask somebody else.

Because sometimes we feel so strongly about something, or someone, but are so scared, and damaged, and stubborn, and prideful that the two notions collide and we end up deleting someones number 5 times then re-saving it 6.

We’ll think of them all day but never think to call. We see things that remind us of them (‘cuz almost everything reminds us of them) but never let them know. We take exactly 17 mins and 37 seconds to write out the cutest email but never send it. We wait all day for a text message and then when we get it, we wait all day to reply back. We think, and stress, and plan the perfect way to tell them how we feel but never say it. We prep ourselves to ask them how they feel but ask how their day went instead.

We go out on Wednesday nights and have a few drinks knowing damn well we got a weekday curfew of 10:00pm and tell all of our friends how much we’re feelin you … and then murder the idea after 1 shot of Jameson, and even worse let someone else pull the trigger.

So we forget about being honest and play games. We convince ourselves you ain’t feelin us and got other wo/men on your roster. We take “All I Want is You,” off of repeat and blast, “Return of the Mack.” We make up excuses like we think you make up excuses and flake on dates that we know we would’ve had a blast on. We walk away with our tail in between our legs, and brace ourselves for the “What ifs,” and regret. Because sometimes, we just rather hurt ourselves this way now, than have you hurt us later.

Early In The Morning’s When I Think About You.

Right before bed too. And sometimes at work. I swear, I need to be neutered.

Mind Over Matter.

There are only two times right before/during sex when you have my complete and undivided attention: when I’m too obliterated to have a thought, or if I actually like you. Otherwise, my ADD kicks in and I am thinking about anything from when The Walking Dead comes back on, to if I turned off my curling wand at home. Below, are a few things that run through my mind right before your dick runs into my vagina.

The size of your junk. I’m lying. I’m wondering how big (or small) your penis is the minute my mind and vagina agree that you’re attractive. You know how men do the “finger smell” test to determine if the girl they’re about to bang is dirty? Sometimes I like to do a little rub down to see what I’m working with. You might think it’s foreplay, but really, I’m just comparing your dick to the size of my hand. FYI I have tiny hands, so Lord help you.

“Where the fuck are my panties?” One of my favorite parts of foreplay is when a man is sliding off my panties. The part when his hands lightly caress my pelvic bone drives me absolutely wild, so I’m not giving two fucks as to where he flings my panties to. But once the deed is done, it’s like this scene in the Hunger Games where the tributes enter the arena for the very first time and endure a bloodbath just to find their weapons. I NEEDS TO FIND MY DRAWS! We may have just exchanged love juices, but I’m still not trying to have you wake up with my polka-dot panties underneath your pillow.

Pets and roommates. Honestly, I can get over the roommate thing pretty fast. Shit, I’m not embarrassed if they aren’t! I can be loud, but there’s nothing a gag over my mouth can’t fix … not that I’ve ever used one or anything. However, when it comes to pets … I just can’t. It’s a little weird, and a part of me is terrified that they might think we’re wrestling and want to join in on the fun. I used to have a dog, and I treated her like a Princess. One time she came into the room during “business hours,” and it was an instant boner-kill. It’s like fucking in front of your child! 

Food. Damn, I knew I was a fat fuck, but I didn’t know just how bad it was until the last guy I banged told me I asked for Kettle Corn during sex. I want to say he’s lying, but judging by his testimony the next morning it sounded legit. After all, Kettle Corn is pretty delicious. It’s sweet, but salty. Hmmm wait a minute …

How I’m getting home in the morning. While you’re putting on a condom, I’m going through my mental rolodex of my best girlfriends aka the bitches who who will pick me up from your house the next day in exchange for brunch and a (hopefully) good story to tell. The last thing I want to worry about is how I’m going to turn my walk of shame dress from the night before, into something appropriate for a 10am bus ride. By the way, if you’re capable of bringing me home and you don’t, then I’m capable of giving you blue balls next time. If there is a next time.
