K DONE N’ F-U-N

Interesting (not really):
But bank boy is still texting me. I literally have not answered any of his texts in over a week and he’s still texting me and inviting me out.
Last week he invited me out jogging (barf).
I was like yo bro, ain’t no way in hell I be joggin’…
Then he invited me out for dinner
I was like yo bro, I be dietin’ and healthy eatin’
Then he asked to take me out for booster juice
and I ignored
then he asked if I was even remotely interested and I said I am just very focused on my own things
So I thought that was that.
Then he texted me at 630 the next morning like
“So much for our jog, there’s 6ft of snow out there!”
Then
“Hey, I’m just near your work and I thought id say hey, how was your weekend”
Then some more randoms
“How was your Thursday”
“It’s almost Friday”
More ignoring (WHICH gives me anxiety because I really hate being ignored myself, but I get soOOOoo tired and I don’t want to be like SHHHHHHH!!!)
K then he texted me at 8:36 last night 1 HR PAST MY PREVIOUSLY EXPLAINED BEDTIME
“Hey, no one’s home, just wondering if you wanted to go for a walk…”
YES
An hour past my bedtime I want to go for a walk on an ICY DEATH TRAP IN PITCH BLACK

hahhaa
whoops k, that makes me sound so mean
But weird (?)
Nobody has ever obnoxiously texted me like that before
Especially not after a 5 minute conversation.
Especially since I typically make awful first impressions.
I got up in the middle of the night to go bathroom and I saw my phone flashing so I was like WHEEEE! A TEXT OMG YAYAY
WHO
WHO ARE YOU FROM !!!

…
Oh…

Nevermind then…
Carry on sleep…

KBYE

K couple things:
I decided this AM to fuck hook grip and just keep switching my over hand/underhand for mix grip
I don’t give a shit about crookedness anymore, I just want to be happy, and I ain’t happy with bloody thumbs and weak deadlifting :confused:
Also, I HIGHLY recommend pause dl’s.
They felt very good and I really feel like they will help with my sticking points.
LOVE LOVE LOVE accessory shit that makes a difference! :=))))

Also: Hummm
Ramblings that I might delete after :
Oh, but no one is allowed to get mad at me < LOL

So every so often (1-2 x’s a week) I get a booty call.
Or issue a booty call?
I don’t know how to word that. I get one meaning someone else initiates it or I get one meaning I get one because I sent out the request for one?
Whatever that’s not important
Or maybe it is I don’t know.
It goes both ways…
And it’s all fine and good and works out perfectly with my anti-social life style because I really don’t have to do anything or go anywhere.
I get just overwhelmingly horny and I can’t deal, but it’s not like I want to have to fucking MEET people or talk to people.
So it’s like a text away. Listen bro get the fuck over here I don’t feel good…
And my nether regions are fully convinced they are actually sleeping with Eminem.
Like they are seriously so beyond retarded, I don’t know.
But my head is like, holy shit you are a moron and I do not appreciate what you are putting me through.
And my heart is like, this hurts very much, please stop this foolishness at once. You are tricking me, you’re lying to me, you think this is going to have a fairy tale ending when in actuality it is going to HURT> VERY VERY VERYMUCH
like hook grip DL hurt.
Cease and desist at ONCE!!
But no, girl parts be like HOYL SHIT NOW NOWNOW GIMMIE NOWWWWW
Head shakes in disappointment. I lose out again, it says…
But yesterday Bro was like, yeah I’m near you = coming over.
I was like K, so I cleaned and put on a less ugly shirt.
1 hr later I was like srsly this is taking way too long can you hurry the fuck up.
He was like
Oh, whoops, I came back home.
Like he forgot
But I know exactly what happened because he came into town to pick up something from his ex which means he probably just boinked her instead and then didn’t feel the need to come over anymore.
K so whatever, but I wasted an hour of my life and put on a shirt that was good enough for work, ON A DAY OFF.
And then I was anxious for the rest of the day. But only because I felt sad inside. I was like, K Jenn, I am uncomfortably sad and this is all your fault.

My point is I do not want to lose out anymore.
I like to figure out plans and tactics to solve things I do not like. IE Accessory movements that actually help the main lifts. Nothing feels more rewarding to me. In some weird ways doing an accessory thing is more rewarding that actually seeing the main life go up. I don’t know, it makes no sense. I like the idea of knowing that what I’m doing will help my cause in the long run.
Maybe results are not instant, or maybe they wont even come at all. BUT if I can BELIEVE it’s done something, I can feel settled and happy. Accomplished.
So I want to think up a plan or a solution or something so that I can feel like I am truly combating something that I do not want to do anymore. Or something that I know is mentally unhealthy for me.
I was thinking okay so this is like pleasure centre related so instead of texting or instead of answering a text when I feel like that I should go out and buy a new shirt or nail polish or whatever.
Or I should actively seek out someone else as a replacement
Yes let’s replace this with a shopping addiction or a new person…
What do smokers do when they try to quit or heroine addicts. I need to do whatever they do (the successful ones) to make this better.

Cross out days on the calendar .
I need to be kept accountable.

Today is day 1
On day 30 I will treat myself to something at the spa…
K DONE
BYE
BEYEBYE!!!

I honestly have no idea how I remembered half that shit cause I was sO IN DA ZONEEEEE biotchesssss.

Anyway, yeah, obviously my workout was like 2 times what that chicks was, but I followed her principles basically…
She was so purrrrrty swoon

K SO:

Today is day 2 of yesterday’s previously explained addiction conquering, and I thought up a better reward system.
Every time I overcome some sort of obstacle in relation to him ^^^, I get to buy a light switch cover. By the time all of the light switches in my house have their own unique cover, I should be, WILL BE, over him.
I have lots of lights…
Yesterday I deleted his number for the 20th time so I bought a Sailor moon light switch cover.
When I go a month without contact or ignore a text from him, I will buy like Mario or something.

If I fuck up and fail, I have to do something that goes against my OCD as punishment. (LOL)
For example, if I respond to a text he sends with anything other than fuck of please die, I have to eat a cookie, or roll around in my bed after coming home from the gym, BEFORE I SHOWER
EWW
EWW X’S 10!!!

I have no idea if any of this is going to work, but I really want to try my darndest.

Had a really long strange dream about it all last night too…
He was driving the trailer from Breaking Bad (AND IN THE DEsert) (think the episode “4-days out”), and stuff kept coming out the back. So I ran after him and I was like “Omg you’re losing all this stuff”
So he invited me in to fuck and in my head I was like “oh no, how am I going to tell T-Nation I fucked this up so bad?!”
But as we were doing it he ate an Oh Henry bar and kissing him made me vomit into his mouth.
I don’t know if it was chocolate bar related, or him related, but I felt sick and then embarrassed by my own puking .

I think this has significance:
He was rowdy driving a trailer-most likely stoned, yes, but more like no half measures.
<>
I think that often.
No half measures when it comes to lifting.
No half measures when it comes to getting over him.
Um
and the vomiting because of kissing him seems like it should tell me something also…

N E WAY
Enlightened.

No, I have no idea wtf I am talking about.

Today is day 3
I can’t decide if I should quit masturbating or if I should masturbate excessively to the point where I hate it and it’s a chore.
I am uncertain which option is better from a “curing/healing” myself perspective.

Is it like medicine or an illegal drug
My best friend or my worst enemy
Well, at any rate, I don’t know what to say to finish this sentence.

I started out dumb, sprung off of hood rats
Listenin’ to the radio, wishin’ that I could rap
But nothing changed, I was stuck in the game
cause everybody in the industry was fucking me, man

Oh right
Rap God news:
Apparently in order to become signed to Shady Records you must first battle Eminem.
This will be my greatest obstacle in becoming signed to Shady Records because I am not very talented

I think I have a good look for it though, honestly, baggy pants suit me.
And I am growing my hair out so maybe my gangsta rap style will be like braided pig tales and baggy sweats or something
No, that’s been done
By snoop dogg
AHHAH
K what ,
I’ll think of something better.

K amazingly perfect super fantastic
I love squatting so much
and pause squatting
and barbell hip thrusting
and working out…

but now I am very tired.

Today is day 4 and I have added a new strategy plan aside from becoming crazy light switch cover lady, LOl.
When (if) when he texts me again I will burn my bridges
This is my full measure to ensure my success
Light switches = half measures
Bridge burning + light switches = full measures
I will burn my bridges so badly he will never want to have anything more to do with me ever again.
But this will have to be full force because I have set fire to bridges before and it didn’t really do enough damage.
EX: I yelled at him loudly at the gym in front of the entire 830 am old man posse
YOU BROKE MY HEART
I said
You treated me like a JOKE LIKEA FUCKING JOKE you’re only KIND when you’re on top of me and right after that YOU’RE AWFUl AWUFL HUMAN BEING
…
We slept together like a day later
So
I will think of something
He will hate me and will never contact me again and I will be free
Free as a bird
Free as a frog
I don’t know why the expression is always about birds, many animals are equally as free as birds
Free as a bear
Free as a cheetah
Free as a lion
Right now I am trapped as a goat
A goat to be fed to a t -rex
He ate the goat
well

I got an email offering me a 15% discount for light switch covers HAHAHA
I was like, FOO’S! I ain’t earned another cover yet. Don’t cha’ll know !!!
Tempting, but undeserved.
Though maybe my idea to make him hate me beyond redemption warrants a cover.
No.
Once it’s done a double cover for a double switch panel. Can you imagine ? The front walk way with a Mario and a Luigi.

People come over turn on some lights like, WHAT, where am I?! Some kind of paradise. That’s where
