Friday's Letters!

Dear Elle, I'm too upset to even think straight and be able to type right now. This is why....be right back, hating myself.... >:(

That's my memory card. That I use in my camera to make videos!!! It also has a lot of pictures on it...luckily it still registered with my laptop, even in this state, so I was able to transfer everything on it onto my laptop. I hope that was everything....I feel like there should have been more on here. BUT STILL- HOW DOES THIS EVEN HAPPEN? I've had my laptop in my backpack with the memory card in it before and it never...bent! It was in my laptop case in my backpack that I haven't thrown around all day...so what the heck happened?! They're not supposed to bend that way! Crying, crying, crying for days.

Dear Mayor Tom Ford, I'm sick and tired of hearing about you on CNN literally every single day. Get your shit together! Stop swearing at the paparazzi! Ashleigh Banfield wouldn't even play the footage of the rude things you said because she said they were so bad and vulgar....that's not cute, stop it. Think about how much you're embarrassing your wife, kay thanks?

Dear universe, The sinkhole I just heard about on the news sounds exactly like the beginning of the movie This Is The End. Terrible movie, but still....I'm gonna be on the lookout for spontaneous eruptions of fire and aliens and shit. Scary. 

Dear Z, You're my best friend.

Dear foot, I'm so proud of you for being able to carry some of my weight this week. You've been doing really well- keep it up because I'm getting impatient and being unable to carry around my own coffee because I'm too busy crutching is really a terrible thing. 

Dear girl who is always in the arts building lobby at the same times on Monday Wednesday Friday that I am, I feel like we will become best friends eventually. We're like twins right now with our matching cream-colored infinity scarves and our Macbooks on our laps. I would be more social with you, I bet, if there was some coffee in me and if this wasn't my favorite time of day to blog. 

Dear Grav3yardGirl aka Bunny, Your videos can take me from a bottom of the barrel mood to a fantastic, laughing mood. Your videos have been my go-to for bursts of laugher or just a pick-me-up all week. Thank you for letting loose and just being yourself, and for giving me something to look forward to, and for being more hilarious than any other human being I know. Please come to the East Coast and do a meetup! I would literally die.

I think that's all! Check out the video I uploaded yesterday for Throwback Thursday! (Blogger never lets me embed videos from my second channel, obnoxious. Just click the purple sentence to get there!)

Thanks for reading and watching!

Thursday Thoughts!

I've had such good vibes goin' for the past few hours...this may just be the best Thursday Thoughts ever cause I have some great news!

~I just got out of a class that I thought was going to be super long and boring 25 minutes early, so I'm back with plenty of extra time to blog about the good news I'm brimming at the rim with!

~It's freaking gorgeous and sunny and beautiful outside, and is climbing slowly back up to the 50s for the weekend. HALLELUJAH! I kept doing all of these crutch-themed photos...I could like start an Instagram or Tumblr and call myself Crutch Girl and just have all of these mysterious photos with my crutches peeking out of them. Lol anyways...

~MOST IMPORTANTLY OF ALL, I GOT THE OKAY TO WALK AROUND IN PLACES OTHER THAN THE PT OFFICE WITHOUT MY AIRCAST/BOOT/BIONIC FOOT ON! I mean I could've taken it off whenever I wanted since it's just velcro, but I was told to bring my matching shoe to my appt today, and I left wearing it too! It hurt a little to bend my foot that way to put it in the shoe, but after that it hasn't bothered me. Their reasoning is that "I'll have more support in my sneaker than in my boot," which makes no sense to me because the boot was MADE for support, and has like a million layers of foam and air cushions in it. But either way, it was a super good day in that department. 

My PT person put it on my backpack because I had no other way to carry it... do you like my new keychain?! I'm actually not too embarrassed of how dorky this looks, I'm more proud of being able to walk without it, and I kinda feel like SuperWoman about the whole thing. It's casual. 

~One of my physical therapists is a reincarnated version of George Lopez, I swear. He looks so much like him, has his voice, AND HIS LAUGH! That's the scariest of all, the laugh. His sense of humor is slightly different though, thank goodness. Today one of the exercises they had me do was to start with my feet shoulder-width apart, then kick with my good foot (while standing on my bum foot, EEK!) and kick "George" in the back of the leg. They kept telling me to aim for his butt, but 1) that was a little...weird...for my taste and 2) I physically don't bend that way yet.

~Class registration went well, I only got locked out of one class, which is pretty good! I mean, this is supposed to only be the second day for freshmen to register, but a lot of freshman classes were practically full already, so there must be a loophole! Anyways, I had picked out a second choice for that class anyways, so on Mondays I'll have a whopping 4 classes (starting at 9am, ugh), but on Tuesdays I'll only have one, and it starts at 11 (so I can sleep in to get rid of the torturous memories of my jam-packed Mondays). Good thing my Monday blogpost is at night, cause I'm gonna be busy! The only thing that bummed me out about this lock out was that Miranda and I were gonna be in the same class together, along with possibly my other friend Emily. Boo :( 

HEADLINE: Crutch Girl sighted with two matching, real shoes on, for the first time in almost a month.

~My registration time was during my PT appt., so I had to stop my gait-stepping to go log on and pick my classes. I did it in exactly 3 minutes, because I was so well-prepared and had all the course numbers, etc., written down (; George Lopez wanted to put me in the torture tub of Arctic death and destruction while I was registering, but I was like uhhh no way, my laptop is smooth as a stone and would probably have slid off my lap and into the whirlpool in .025 seconds had I attempted that. Clearly my coordination is crap....that's how I ended up in PT in the first place, right?

~I'm debating about whether to miss the first hour of a capella practice tonight to go to my third merit point event this week (I'm gonna have amazing housing next year, fingers crossed!)....there's this cool women empowerment thing going on, so of course Miranda and Emily want to go (I'm the one that told them it was going on, so you're welcome ladies). I haven't missed practice in awhile, so I feel like that could be excusable...possibly? What to do, what to do...

~I guess that's all for today. I'm just super excited about wearing matching shoes!!! And also about the fact that I can walk around with only one crutch now- I keep doing that to go to the bathroom, and it's so nice to be able to go to the bathroom without a wheelchair taking up the entire room! I'm shaky and look like an old person when I do it, but progress is progress, and walking was all the wanted all along.(: 

Keep on the lookout for my Thirsty Thursday post later today- I'm reviewing a tea this week! How unusual, I know.

Thanks for reading! What are your Thoughts this Thursday?
