My list of things you should know about me.
1.) I am not going to invest any more time learning how to use facebook. How I currently use facebook is how I will continue to use facebook. I will not learn how to "tag" or "add flair" or even use this "notes" feature. STOP asking me to do such things.
2.) One of my favorite books in all the world is The Memiors of Cleopatra. I loved this book. Loved it. Was moved by it. I remember the vivid pictures painted by the author and being totally and completely swept up by the beauty of the story. I've never picked it up again... for fear I won't love it as much.
3.) When somebody trips in front of me, or drops and breaks something, or just plain does something dumb in my line of sight, I usually laugh and think "Good, I'm glad you did that." This works doubly so if the person who trips is a child.
4.) Never invite me to movies starring Tom Hanks, Bill (or Bruce) Paxton,Denzel Washington, or Nicholas Cage. They are all equally terrible in my book and I will always decline.
5.) I actually do enjoy disliking people.

One year. Really?
So, I just realized that its been one year. Some people may know what that means. Hmmm... there is only one person, that I know of, that reads this blog so maybe I'm admitting something to her with this post.
Anywho... its been a year.
Its interesting to think that it has been a year. The odd thing is while I am not totally unhappy, I am totally unsatisfied. I told myself, give it a year, see if things change and then take action. I guess now is the time.
As I think about whats to come, I still think I made the right decision. This path is leading me in the right direction. But, I also feel, that this part of the path is ending

A list of my favorite things
1.)
This makes the list because its right around this moment when she says one of my favorite lines (actually, picking a favorite line by Ga-Linda would be hard)... anywho, when the munchkins call out "Its good to see you Glinda" she replies "It is good to see me, isn't it? No need to answer. That was rhetorical."
2.)
Kendra Kassebaum as Glinda is a stroke of genious. I dare say, after watching on youtube (not the best quality, I know) that Kendra out 'Ga-Linda's' Kristen Chenowith... and I do love me some Kristen Chenowith... but Kendra done be off the chain with the Ga-Linda.
3.)
or
I do not even remember this character from the harry potter book, but he is in the movie and umm.... Hello!
4.)
I love my new mug. And look at that handle... its huge.

My list of things that bug me.
1.)
2.) The disgusting shit that found its way into my coffee cup. Seriously, what has been brewed that is passing itself off as coffee?
3.) People, who after staring at me while I shower (and not hiding very well), attempt to make conversation with me. Item the first, Sir, nobody EVER comes in to the shower area to stretch out. Secondly, I don't want to be your friend. Third, the way to start an initial conversation with somebody at the gym would be to ask about their workout... NOT ask about their tan lines.
4.) Attending clinic meetings. Let it be clear.... Josh HATES clinic meetings. Correction, Josh HATES any meeting.
5.) The almost full year I have to wait before being in San Francisco again.

In honor of the list turning 1...
A list of my favorite things about the list.
1.) The list allows me a really great venue to talk about how great I am. And lets face, I love talking about how great I am.
2.) The list is a nice way to let you all know what I'm thinking. And quite honestly, what I am thinking should be at the tops of your lists.
3.) The list has become a blog and a twitter account all in one. Sooooo... those of you begging me to get a twitter account, just read the list items periodically through the day and assume they would be posted on twitter.
4.) The list allows me to shine and be very funny... and honest. The list is funny... and usually honest.
5.) The list is all about me. And I love me.
6.) The great list readers who have read, and stayed interested in the list, for one full year now. Thanks. Thanks for letting me know you laugh, that you miss the list and that you want it to continue.

My list of things I pondered this weekend.
1.) After watching the perfectly dreadful movie He's just not that into you, I got to a'thinkin. If you haven't seen it, quick run down, its about dating somebody and realizing when they are not as "in to you as you are to them". Now, while I am now where near the dating scene I got to wonderin' is it possible for my friends, or those that I call my friends, to be just "not that in to me." Are friends held to a different standard? Can I (or anyone, for that matter) be "more in to" a friend then the other person is? How does one know if your friends just aren't that into you? In the movie there were signs that the object of affections wasn't in to you... are there signs that your friends aren't that in to you? If so, how do you recognize these signs? Are the signs the same?
2.) Is it acceptable to have the dreaded mormon "define the relationship" talk with a friend? Along the same vein as item #1, is it acceptable to talk with your friends and decide where you are in the friendship. Is it reasonable to want to establish where you both are in the friendship. Is it reasonable to have expectations for what you want out of the friendship? Should you make these expectations clear?
3.) Can one "break-up" with a friend? Should you decide that the friendship is no longer working for you, should you tell the other person "I am no longer receiving anything from this relationship and I have no interest in continuing it?" We would do this with a love interest, why not with a friend. I wouldn't tolerate abuse from a love interest, why do I from my friends? Do I tell the other person that I am finished with the relationship... or do I just let it die?
4.) Do people mistreat or abuse their friendships, because they are friends and "they will understand?" Do I mistreat people because they are "my friend"? Why has it become "Ok" to treat people whom we call friends "this way". Or, should people who treat others poorly still be a friend?
5.) Have I received all I can from Steven the trainer? Is it time to fine a new trainer? Getting in a fight with Steven the trainer this morning didn't help with this.

My list of things that I wonder if they happen to everybody else.
1.) Almost complete and total job dissatisfaction. I'm beginning to think that I may have been the exception to the rule at my previous job. I really Really REALLY loved what I did... DID NOT love who i did it with... and I use the term "did it with" quite loosely as this person is one of the laziest people I know... except when it came to keeping track of what i did... she was really diligent about that... oh and she also was really on the spot when it came to changing her wall paper... anywho. I loved that job and now that I am in a job i don't like I'm beginning to realize that a lot of people don't like thier job... and it makes me sad.
2.) Random wetness on your body. I'm not talking about sweat... I'm talking about realizing that your hand is wet and you have no idea where this liquid came from... you just know that you have some kind of moisture now on your hand... and it is ewwww-ey.
3.) Thinks that when their mother calls, she is calling to tell them somebody died. Does this happen to any of you? or is it just me?
4.) Have those moments of true clarity, where you understand "it" all, you get it, you know your place and then its gone and you are left confused again. I had a seminary teacher (yes I went to seminary... mostly to nap... what else was seminary good for) who told me at those moments i was seeing through the veil. Thinking about it now kind of makes me mad, because its like saying God allowed me a glimpse of the plan and then said "now back to desperation, depression and confusion for you"! Maybe he is just up there laughing.
5.) Be working out at the gym and look over that the "cardio cinema" flat screen tvs and see a baby being born. Full on shot of the didgeri-don't and everything. I was slightly/completely horrified. This probably doesn't happen to everybody... mostly only to me, today, at the gym.

My list of things that are hard to do when one is in a bad mood.
1.) Work out. Hmmmm... I guess thats not so much true because my anger pushed me a bit. But, it was hard to get in the mood.
2.) Write the list. Being angry just makes it all seem like a bad idea.
3.) Drum up the desire to do any kind of work.
4.) Get up the desire to go train. Blah... I really don't want to do that. REALLY, I don't want to.
5.) Enjoy my coffee. Granted, I bought the coffee at 7-11, but it was not so good ya'll. Not so good at all.

My list of things that require further consideration
1.) Hearing my mother use the words "tramp stamp". This was odd to me.
2.) Searching for and finding the job posting of life... and then seeing its located in Irvine, California.
3.) How can I get him a message that I'll be his last train home?
4.) Is there any way possible to get over my boat load of body image issues?
5.) Nobody has noticed yet. I wonder why not?

My list of things I want to do today.
1.) Watch the movie Kinky Boots with my friends. And by 'friends', I'm really only talking about two of you. Can you guess who it is. But, even if you don't watch it with me... you should all watch Kinky Boots. Its grand... and the ending ALWAYS makes me happy.
2.) Watch Run Lola Run... with anybody. Ok... that was a lie... but with most of you.
3.) Have it be 16 days from today.
4.) See this get sent home tonight. I done be DONE with it, Ya'll.

My list of things that you should stop saying
1.) If you see two, or more, people in your place of work who happen to be wearing the same color DO NOT say:
"Oh, I guess I didn't get the memo about wearing ______ today." I see that you did get the 'be a dip shit at work today' memo. Really, that joke is incredibly unfunny and I don't even sympathy laugh at it any more. STOP saying that. STOP IT.
2.) If you are overweight and you are eating any kind of 'junk food' "The hardest part of weight loss is keeping the weight off". STOP saying that to me. Especially when you know, because I've made it clear to you, that I've kept my weight off for two years.
3.) Do not ever ask me if I would be "willing" to do anything. Throwing that willing in there, is just a way to make somebody feel guilty if they aren't willing to do it.
4.) stop, Stop, STOP saying "I've just got to lose these extra XX pounds" when you are doing nothing to lose the weight. If you are going to lose the pounds through diet and exercise, great. I will support you 100%... but if you are going to continue to eat junk and sit around STOP saying you need to lose the weight... because obviously you don't want to and i don't want to hear about it.
5.) Stop giving me any kind of fashion advice and don't critique what I wear. I dress better then you so stop giving me advice and STOP criticizing what I wear... especially when you are wearing THAT!!!
