I decided to delete my last journal since most of it was absolute nonsense.
Since most of you don't know me and my about me I tried to not drag out even more than it is, I'm Jessica, people who don't know me well call me Jynx. Why? Because I have a habit of being clumsy and very unlucky.
I've become a fitness buff as of late, which is weird because last November I weighed 230lbs. Finally August has come around and I weigh in at 179 as of this morning. I know 179 isn't really the best number but it still feels like 'Holy crap, I can't believe I've lost all this weight!' because when I started out at 230, I hated myself, wouldn't look in mirrors unless it was to tell myself that I wasn't worth it but about a year later, I look in the mirror and go 'Damn, girl, you're looking good! 29 to go, you can do it!' Mostly, I've been doing low carb diet. For those of you who are unfortunate and stupid enough to try this diet, say goodbye too sweets, pasta, bread, carrots, most fruit and hello to meats, sugar free everything, Dreamsfields Pasta, low carb pita bread, berries and mashed cauliflower (wonderful substitute for mashed potatoes)! This is a hard diet and isn't meant for everyone. I chose this diet because I'm am glucose intolerant. On top of a hard diet, I have hard workouts too (despite this lazy past week with me moving). I hit the gym for about an hour every visit and go three days a week. I do a two mile run/fast walk (asthma makes it hard to run the full two miles so I have a 2 minute walk, 1 minute run (7.8 MPH))
Less boring stuff than fitness, I am pretty pierced.I have six piercings right now and used to have more. Retired most of them because I was a foolish little kid who shoved a needle through any pieces of skin I could get enough of a pinch on. Younger readers that may be reading this: DO NOT DO THAT! GO TO A PROFESSIONAL EVERY TIME! Piercings I have at the moment: Earlobes, Stretched 4g Cartilage, Belly Button, Vertical Labret, Tongue. I will be getting more when I find a more laid back job and have sufficient funds. I plan to get a second tongue piercing near the tip of my tongue, piercings on the breast (bwahaha but no, it'll be to distract from a surgery scar where they're testing for cancer), thinking of getting my septum redone and some more cartilage done on my right ear and an industrial on the left. My tip to those who want to get pierced, get something that can wear a retainer and go barely noticed. There will be times where you don't want people to look at you and first see your piercings (for example, meeting your SO's parents, job interview, volunteering to help old people, etc). All of my piercings so far have a retainer that makes them unnoticeable and someone would have to stare hard to see them.

I'm getting tattoos soon, a big side piece from breast to butt of the sound hole of the upright bass/violin/cello on my sides with clockwork gears on the inside. I've been designing this piece since I was 15 and should have enough money and have lost enough weight by next summer. I am so excited I could pop!
Long distance lover! Nothing says masochist like dating long distance. It is by far the hardest thing I've ever faced (and lets face it, my mother pulled a gun on me last October and that wasn't even this hard). Yes, I have met my beautiful boyfriend in person on several occasions, first time when I was 13 and then again when I was 17 and it just went from there of talking until he moved back last August to Kansas (I'm in Florida). Last May (the 16th to be exact) we decided that friendship was not nearly enough and that we would make this work. I have roughly a year or two left of college, which depending on how this year goes, I may just transfer it up north so I can be closer to him. Upside is, I love this guy to smithereens. He makes me smile so hard the apples of my cheeks are starting to build muscles and laugh so hard its a better workout than my gym workouts. My call out to fellow LDR's out there, evaluate how you feel about the person: Do you know him/her? Could you ever see yourself cheating? Getting bored? Anything negative? If not, then fine. Granted we all have moments where it is disheartening to not be able to hold your SO but if you love them, the distance is only temporary. Me and Graydon (My SO) are arranging a trip for me to visit him in October after I finish my college midterm exams. We choose the date in September.

Jeez, what else can I cover in this today? Hmm.. Well if anyone has anything they are curious about or want me to bring up in my journal, PM me. I will address it as fast as I can.
Tata for now,
