An update is seriously needed here.
I'm happily munching on a simple salad that I just assembled. Some curly endive, arugula, quinoa, lightly dressed with some lemon vinaigrette. I'm still trying to get used to the taste of quinoa. Can't say I enjoy it, but the texture is great. I love the way it looks too. Too bad it doesn't taste better.
It's (almost) been a full week since our San Francisco trip. Afterwards, I kind of felt like I needed a break from my friends. I realized sometime during the trip that I was so concerned with not making enough good memories over the summer with my friends that I had completely disregarded my family. They're important to me too, and since my mom just got back from Taiwan, I've been trying to spend more time with my parents and some of our closer family friends. There's been a lot of shit going on lately, and apparently our house is a neutral ground, the moral center, of everything. People are coming and going, getting drunk in the morning and in the night time...This past week has been really bizarre. All the drama, for the most part, seems to have settled down, and hopefully next week, I can go back to living a more normal life.
Ever since last Wednesday, I've been doing a lot of yoga. I know, right? I hate yoga! Why am doing it? To be honest, I don't know. I guess I was just bored one day, and my mom surprised me by telling me that she enrolled me in some yoga lessons. I was a little hesitant at first, but I got over it. The classes that I'm taking are in Huntington Beach, and it's pretty intense. I didn't know yoga was so difficult. Well, it's probably just difficult for me because I'm fat and really inflexible for a 19-year-old. I've been going for about at least 60-90 minutes everyday. I think what's really cool about this yoga studio is that the classes are held in rooms that are maintained at a temperature of 95+ degrees. I sweat A LOT. It's really gross, but surprisingly fun. It's been four days so far, and I can already feel myself improving. So, that's nice to know. What's also great is that there's a lot of eye candy. It's mostly females, and it almost seems like I'm the only inflexible, fat one there. But all the girls and guys there are so....beautiful and toned. Their flesh is so firm and taut. It makes me feel really self-conscious, but in a good way, I guess. Watching them contort their bodies as the sweat trickles down their bodies...it makes me motivated to want to get fit too. Agh. Anyways, this is my new thing for now. Getting better at yoga. :)
We have yet ANOTHER family/family friend dinner tonight (three in a row so far)...Tom is coming over to Cerritos. I might bring him over to Arnold's house party tonight if he wants to go. I'm excited!
Omg, I'm eating a plum, and the dark purple flesh is so beautiful, it reminds me of the pluot cobbler I had at Chez Panisse.
