Congrats!!
I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
Waiting for a winter to be done.
Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
In all that I could never overcome?
I just got an award for an essay I wrote!I didn't think I'd get any,since it was controversial,against the subject,but it was appreciated!
You forget that the kingdom of heaven suffers violence: and the kingdom of heaven is like a woman.

Congratulations, Remarkable! (truly remarkable, and in a good way too)
Oh, as for something to boast about: I played with some make up earlier and wound up looking not like a mess! Yes! Make-up isn't my thing and the only thing I do know how to properly apply is foundation, not to mention that I cannot apply the same amount / weight of make-up on two different sides of the face and as a result I wind up with one of my cheeks "rosier", differently shaped eyes, etc., etc.. LOL!!!
I've never been able to get the hang of the lipstick thing myself.I keep smearing it across my mustache.
Congrats to you and to Remarkable for the essay.

Well, let's see . . .
This week I lost 10 lbs. in four days to make my weight in the pole vault. Last night, I was fortunate enough to go on a National Honor Society field trip and I saw Pride and Prejudice as a play. Then, today, my birthday (YAY!), I took the class D section V title for pole vaulting, clearing 10 ft., 3 inches.
Have I boasted too much or shall I keep boasting?

Oh, I got a 96 on my term paper.
About losing weight: I ate little last week (salads and fruits comprised the majority of my meals) and I exercised more. I didn't even eat supper Friday night (and only ate half of my lunch - an apple and half a sandwich). I ran 1-2miles a day that week on top of pole vault practice, not to mention the 9 miles I did on the treadmill Thursday night. It was worth it though.

9 miles on the treadmill !!!! I dread doing just 1.5 - 2 miles. Way to go!!!
I have to say that losing 10 lbs in 4 days is not healthy but I guess you know what you are doing.
What Are You Crazy!!!
I am assuming the 10lbs in 4days will be basically the same as how boxers make weight before a fight. The majority of it is pretty much water weight & sweat, which will go back on again soon afterwards. This is why when you watch boxing you will see a day of fight weight given as well which in some cases can be up to 12lbs heavier than that at the official weigh in.
Not a particularly healthy (or long term) method for weight loss, but it wont do any real damage if you know what you are doing.

Yeah, I don't want to ever have to do that again (lose that much weight), but it will probably be a necessity once again at some point in the future.
