But I’ve had the invitation that a sinner can’t refuse. And it’s almost like salvation. It’s almost like the blues.


Hey loves

I am in a very good mood.
It's been an awesome day.
It's been warm and sunny, and my teachers were curiously funny. (I even rhyme now, good God what is wrong with me?)
And I'm not tired one bit although I slept less than four hours last night.


And I have found a system that enables me to study effectively.
If I learn one topic for college, I am allowed to read one chapter of the story.
Works like a charm.






Oh, and I've developed an unhealthy taste for Leonard Cohen's music.
I don't know if you've noticed, but I took some lyrics as headings of the last few posts.
His voice just kind of soothes me and I love it.
At the moment I'm hooked on You've got me singing, but that's just the day's favorite.

I heard yesterday from an old friend from Petnica.
He called me to talk and it felt so good to hear his laugh again.
He suggested to meet up some time before Easter and I can't wait.


About my eating today, I was not very happy although I was finally able to find the kitchen scale and measure my food.
About the pasta thing, Who puts the nutritional info along with how to cook instructions? Anyway my estimate for a cup was waaaaaay off. It has 310 cal / 100g which is a lot better than I expected.


So today looked more or less like this:
12 cookies  40x12 = 480
(I don't even know why I ate them)
a cup of pasta 310
50g of feta cheese 110

Which makes my intake around 900.


As long as I'm under 1000 I'm not going to complain.
I'm planning on rice and vegetables tomorrow, but we'll see.


I'm going home for the weekend. I have mixed feelings about that.
On one hand I want to see my family badly, on the other there's a scale there.
I don't know if I've mentioned this, but I haven't stepped on one for about 6 months.
The thought of knowing my weight again makes me strangely afraid and excited at the same time.

And I was sure I wanted to mention another thing, but I guess it slipped my mind and for the life of me I can't remember what it was.

Much love <3

  1. i saw your comment reply. i got excited.

    oh, darling, since you've left - i've actually developed depression. which has led me to feeling of inadequacy which has led to me erasing lots of my blog posts because i feel like whatever i have said is insignificant. *sighs* anyway...

    you used to find gifs of Coldplay for me. i remember that.

    i haven't heard of his music i don't think so. i'll keep it in mind for the future, my dear.

    your gifs are so beautiful, and so are you.

    pasta that is 310 calories per 100 gram is great. most pastas are around the 340-360 cals per 100 grams. i once had spaghetti that is 300 calories per 100 grams. incredible!

    40 calorie cookies? what kind were they? like ginger snaps? :3

    yeah, don't darling. i wouldn't manage a single day under 1,000 anymore. i'm trying to. today i'm netting in the high 600 calories, but i'm eating around 1,400. which is more than fine by me. i'm going to crack open a can of Pringles in 3 hours and eat them all. tehehehe.

    take care of yourself, darling.

    1. Nothing that you ever wrote could ever be insignificant because it's part of you. And for a time, you felt you needed to write just that. It did help you cope with everything at one point, so don't say it's irrelevant.
      I feel that some of my own posts from a few years ago are too childish and selfish and just WHINY, but they are part of me and who I was back then, so they are not going anywhere.

      I remember, I loved to post lyrics from Yellow.

      Thanks, Sammy, I do try to pick them to go along with what I write. I'm glad you appreciate it. ^_^

      I thought it was way more than that. I'm happy it isn't.

      Oh, just small raisin ones. That's how I managed to eat 12 of them. I wonder why I set myself back though.

      I love Pringles. Adore them. Breathe them. They are awesome.

  2. I'm really glad you had a good day, we need more of those ^^
    I haven't heard of that singer but as I'm idly doing nothing I'm gonna look him up right now, by the lyrics in your post titles he seems pretty good tbh.

    And, oh my god, isn't it just so lovely to hear from someone important, especially if a while has gone by since you heard form them?

    I lost contact with a lot of people due to an abusive relationship I was in and when I managed to get out of it and tentatively reached out, wow, they welcomed me back with open arms and there was nothing at all that felt sweeter than that.

    Take care and I hope you have more days you feel this good ^^

    1. I hope to hear your opinion on his songs soon. Pay attention to the lyrics, they are absolutely gorgeous.

      Yeah, it kind of is. I remembered how I spent my last night at the science center just cuddling (in a friendly way) and talking and how good it felt to have that memory of him. He is a wonderful person.

      Oh, I'm so sorry you had to go through that, but on the bright side, you now know you have some amazing friends. Don't lose them, they are precious.

      I do try, but sometimes, it's just so hard to do that
