Day 200: message in a bottle [and geocaching]

Day 200

Today I have to send a message in a bottle.

I’ve been talking to Mike about this one a few days in advance, and we decided to hide our own geocache.

I make it and it’s all set up but I can’t hide it. Without a gps, it’s impossible to really hide properly.

Then, I get to actually see Mike. I’m at his house right now. Yay.

And also I just got him to agree to come to UMass with me later to hide the cache, so mission REALLY accomplished!

Except he remembered he had class in the morning, so we didn’t hide it yet.

We kind of lost the geocache. We hid it but never put it online.

Day 199: Memorize facts

Day 199

Today I’m supposed to memorize a list of random facts for whatever reason.

So I do, it’s not hard.

Today starts with dying my hair. Now I’m a strawberry blonde and it looks fantastic.

Then, I go back to school. I’m in a bad mood ‘cause it’s just a miserable overcast day. But then I see Mike and it’s all better.

We randomly decide that we should go out on a real date. Dinner and a movie, Mike pays, it’s all good. We go to Arizona Pizza and see Due Date. I hadn’t even heard of that movie before going to the theater, but it was actually pretty good.

Then I have to say goodbye to Mike ‘cause he’s tired. Boo.

Also, to prove I have memorized the list, I’m now telling you that the second most common name for a cat is Patches.

I've forgotten all those random facts.

Day 198: Have a good cry

Day 198

Today I have work again, after the first time in a while. I think I may cry.

Which is good. Today’s task is to have a good cry. Just let it all out.

I haven’t yet ‘cause I haven’t been alone yet. But I am so tired right now.

I still haven’t yet and it’s like 10.

I did tear up a bit because I had ice cream for dessert and wanted to put the bowl on the ground for Molly to lick. Then I remembered she’s not here.

Finally, it’s realizing that I haven’t talked to Mike all day and probably won’t at all that makes me cry.

I hate crying.

Also tonight I stay up till 2 am so I can see it change back to 1 am. I’M A TIME TRAVELER

--

trust me I cry (almost) every day.

Day 197: Practce your signature

Day 197

Today, I need to practice my signature, so that I will have an awesome autograph when I’m famous.

The Book says nothing about how I become famous, but I know I’ll be famous for publishing a book. Probably the one I’m writing right now.

It’s awesome. By the time this blog is published, the book will be too. Even if I have to publish it myself as an e-book. People will be reading my story.

I hang out at the mall with Ari. I try buying some new jeans for myself and learn I apparently didn’t lose weight like I thought I did. Boo.

At least I don’t need to be skinny to be smart. I can be a fat famous author. And I will.

I practice my signature while signing for a credit card. My signature is awesome like it’s always been. The S in Stephanie is all loopy, the rest is a scribble, and ‘Mann’ becomes just a line.

--

Book ain't published.
but I'm writing another one.

Day 196: Keep track of your mannerisms

Day 196

Today I go home.

Today I have to keep track of my mannerisms. Mostly I notice I rub my nose a lot.

There’s really not much else.

Oh, my tooth got fixed.

I am so tired.

--

still so tired.

Day 195: Make a snowball

Day 195

Today, I’m supposed to make a snowball.

I’m really not sure this is possible with the tiny freezer that I have, so I won’t.

Today I see Mike. And I like spending time with him.

Today is too long and tomorrow I go home. I’m looking forward to it.

--

I am so tired
Maybe I'll move posting to night so I'm coherent.

Day 194: Message from our sponsors

Day 194

Today is a message from the book’s sponsors.

Today also, I vote. For the first time. It’s pretty cool.

Mike was supposed to be here today, but he gets called into work, so I’ll see him tomorrow. Good for him that he’s making extra money, but I want him here. Boo.

Today's post is late because of the massive power outages cutting out my internet.
