okay.

I'm taking being homeschooled for the rest of my senior year into deep consideration.

jughead.

Boy oh boy. I slept in until four today...
And I'll probably stay up until five in the morning again. Just like the past few weeks.

I've also got to finish my senior project. I have no idea if Ms. Sammon's is going to be here tomorrow, but I should probably finish it tonight just in case. It's about Lewis Carroll. I would have preferred to write about Kurt Vonnegut <3. He was an awesome man. I would have loved to have met him...too bad he died...so it goes.
;)

I haven't done much today. Woke up, ate, then got on the computer to check my stuff just like everyday. Tried finding some new music I thought I'd like...didn't have too much luck. I just sort of sat around all day. Today was a really lazy day for me.

I watched this interview on Letterman with Evangeline Lily...she's great! She talked about how she's allergic to the 'vog' and the sun in Hawaii. Then an awful surfing incident...ehh.

But LOST came on tonight. It definitely had a different feel. But, every season begins with a different feel that I have to get used to. And, coincidentally, everyone seems to agree (at least, from what I've noticed.) Tonight's episode was great and I loved it. I won't go into it, because I'd end up writing a whole five paragraphs, haha.

I guess my mother e-mailed a Christian radio station and asked them to pray for me and all. That's pretty sweet of her. They e-mailed her back and said they were praying for me. So that's nice of them.

Hm. No exercising for me today. Yeah, I suck. And like I said, I have been lazy allllll day. I really like going outside and exercising though, but with the weather all icy and rainy...it's pretty impossible.

And thanks to Juliet Burke (actually, I was considering learning it before...but isn't it a pretty dead language?) I want to learn LATIN EVEN MORE NOW.
They offer it at Marshall.
I think?
:D

That'd be sweet. I want to learn: Latin, French, Russian, and German.
Probably not going to happen. But at least two of those languages would be really cool. I should probably brush up on my Spanish.

I need to finish my senior project before it gets too late and I get distracted.

Always,

Whitney

ice ice baby

It's so cold.



My room is the worst. I know this is bad, but I've been sleeping in until around...three. Well, I was so cold this morning that my teeth chattering together and my shivering woke me up at 11 and prevented me from getting any more sleep...grr. I was not a happy camper :P.



It wasn't a lot of snow...just ice.

And because of all of these icy conditions I had to postpone yet another one of Dr.Hunt's appointments. I bet that man is beginning to strongly dislike me, haha. I have to go next Wednesday, then I go to the UK next month, on the 11th...unless there's more snow, of course. Sigh. Alllll the way to Lexington. What fun.Oh, but it is a bit crazy that the doctor I'm going to see in Lexington shares the same name as Dr. Chang/Cheng on LOST :D...har, har.



Anywho, I cannot wait until it warms so I can actually get out of the house and exercise. I'm really looking forward to going out to hike. Once it begins warming up, once/twice a week I'm going to go to Cabway Lingo or Logan...somewhere where is possible to hike, and...well, hike!

I need some good shoes so badly...ones that aren't bad for my feet. All I have is converse and flats, and now, I'm starting to get into heels! I need good shoes. Haha. Actually...I'm probably just using that as an excuse to buy more shoes....:D.



I've done pretty well with my eating. I am proud to say that I've stopped drinking pop completely. I haven't had one pop for three months...that's saying something for this gal. But, in exchange for soda, I now have this INSANE addiction to iced tea, chocolate milk, and sunny d. It's bad. Real bad. I haven't been eating too many sweets either...I've been eating a lot of...turkey bacon? Yeah. Weird, I know. I actually should be doing a whole lot better with my eating but I'm getting there.



Uhhh....I have a lot of crap to do. I don't even know where to get started. Not going to school has kind of got me into this phase where I'm just 'taking it easy' and not getting anything finished. I'll have bouts where I'm like "Yes! This and this is finished! Way to go me!" Then I'll stop. Grr...

I can't even think correctly today because I haven't had enough sleep...hah. My thoughts are all scattered and everything. I need to get this show on the road though, that's for sure.

Hm...I'm sort of kind of new with blogger. I played around with the layouts for a little while. This is the best I can do with right now...it's not as great as I'd like it to be...but, it'll do. For now. Be warned that I change the way things look a lot.



Always,

Whitney

First blog, so I guess I should introduce myself.

Maybe you know already know me...maybe you don't.

For those who don't, my name is Whitney Butcher. I'm new with blogging. I've never really done the whole blogging thing besides posting random things on myspace, including stories and poetry and those sorts of things.

I started this blog and named it "Kicking it right in the face!" because a couple of months ago, I was diagnosed with something known as pseudotumor. If you don't know what this is (I had no clue when the doctors told me I had it), click on this link: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/pseudotumor-cerebri/DS00851

I've been through a lot in the past few months. Don't worry, I won't bore you with that. I'm scared more than you know, and it's incredibly hard to remain optimistic but I do. Because it could be worse, and compared to what other people are going through...it's really not that bad at all.

But, it's still pretty bad. I do need to take care of myself. The first thing I need to do is to take some of this pressure off and lose some weight. I'm really hoping that beginning a blog and writing in it every day, or every other day, will help me keep up. I hope to meet people along the way. I've always wanted to lose weight...but now it's not a matter if I want to or not, I have to.

So, perhaps you'll enjoy keeping up with this blog. I'd like to have some support, though. Honestly, the only people who have given me any serious support is my mother, father, and sister. When I thought my friends would be there for me...they weren't. And I'm not one who needs to be 'babied'. I'm a big girl, (no pun intended) and I can take care of myself.

So, maybe you want to lose weight. Please, why don't you join me? I'll need all of the help and support I can get, and I am sure you'll be the same. Or, maybe you were diagnosed with a pseudotumor, too and need someone, just like I do, to talk to about it. Maybe you just want a friend. I'll also be your friend! I guess I'm beginning to get a little cheesy, huh?

So that's what this blog is all about. Me kicking this pseudotumor in the face, along with my fat!

I'm excited to begin this. I'll post soon.

Always,

Whitney.
