I FINALLY got to watch Law and Order SVU for the first time in 3 weeks. My little brother isn't allowed to watch TV shows like that, and Mom was working, so we were home a lot and the stupid kid REFUSED to go upstairs and watch a movie. Then school started, and I just haven't had the time. Which sucks when you're addicted to the show. But I watched it last night on USA. One of my favorite all-time movies is called The Princess Bride. The guy who played the little boy in the movie, Fred Savage, played one of the criminals. I thought he looked familiar at first, and then he said something, and I went, "zOMG!! NO FRICKIN' WAY!" because I recognized him. He was the rapist, though, so I wasn't too thrilled about that, but it was interesting because I'd only ever thought about him as a little, little kid. When he filmed that episode, in 2003, he was all grown up!

But, whatever. Not interesting to you people, I'm sure. -scoff-

Anyways. I'm watching SpaceBalls on TV. I forget how stupid this movie is until I see it again. I never noticed that Dark Helmet's tie looked like, well, a guy's... wanger. XDD I luuuuuuuurve Bill Pullman! I just saw him on While You Were Sleeping this morning. He is SO cute. I don't know how Lucy ever fell for stupid Peter. He wasn't even that attractive! (He was also in a coma for half the movie, so that didn't help.)

I've joined Swim Team. I did NOT know how hard it was until the first day. Swimming in competition isn't about swimming a couple laps and then getting out. There's core workouts called dry-land, which is hard-core stuff, and then there's timing, which you're constantly trying to decrease. It is certainly not easy. I've lost 7 pounds, dropping from 135 pounds to 128 pounds in not even two weeks! And I haven't even weighed since then, but I know I've lost a lot more. I didn't notice how bad of a shape I was in until I joined up. I am pretty skinny, I suppose, compared to most, but it IS possible to be relatively thin and still be completely out of shape. I used to get tired just walking up the stairs. I feel much better about myself now. I have a lot more energy altogether, and I weigh under what I'm supposed to weigh (130). Not by much, but I'm still under. If the weight's dropping at least a little bit, I'm fine. ^_^ As long as I'm not anorexic or anything.
