this is the latest step in my ongoing self-improvement campaign. in related news, the cheeseless eating plan seems to be working even better than i'd expected. aside from the celebratory pizza and cheesequesadillawithgreensaucefromtacobell with my sister last weekend, i've given up cheese until further notice. i'd also intended to give up wheat, sugar, and caffiene, but in reality, i've just moderated those things. however, the results have still been quick and remarkable. i'll weigh myself later today, but i estimate that i've lost about 5 or 8 pounds since fondue night.

a good friend of mine told me last night that she thinks i look like charlize theron and that if i would just start dressing like her and stop dressing "grunge," i'd be getting marriage proposals. first of all, there's no resemblance, notwithstanding the fact that she's not the first person to tell me that. i seriously don't see what they see. secondly, i just can't dress like that. it's uncomfortable and too high-maintenance, and it requires making appearances too high of a priority. i agree that i don't necessarily want to look like i don't care or i'm not trying...but... those kind of looks don't just happen. i guess i'll have to wait on the marriage proposals.

even this post is a little too vain for my taste.
