Laaate Night

I just got in from going on a spontaneous movie-viewing campaign with Johnna and Aunt Tudi. We went to see The Pacifier....a family movie....yes, The Pacifier. This simply proves that I will watch anything with Vin Diesel in it. It was pretty good for a family film and the shower scene didn't hurt one damned bit. Wheeee!

Afterward, we dropped into IHOP for some coffee. Unlike the goils, I did not imbibe in the bodacious brew because I don't want to spend what's left of the night hours bouncing off the walls like a rubber pinball from hell. I'd much rather rapidly fall unconscious.

It is now time to go to bed. No, it's past time to go to bed. In the olden golden days, when I was in my teens and twenties, I could stay up for hours on end and never feel tired, never suffer from sleep deprivation. Now, to quote Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon 4, "I'm gettin' too old for this shit."

Before / After

On 22 March, I will celebrate my one year anniversary for gastric bypass. In honour of that, I'm posting my before and after pictures. This is really difficult for me because, believe it or not, I have kept my previous physical state close to the chest. But I feel that posting the pictures will break a trend of shame and secrecy in me that should never have been cultivated and is definitely not needed. So...

Those around me have asked if I feel different and if I have changed since the surgery. I think I can honestly say that the only difference I feel is that I'm healthier. Oh, and my libido has been for shit, so I may as well become a nun, but that's neither here nor there. I believe that clumsycake and green_goblin70 could vouch for me in saying that my personality hasn't changed. I was pissed off before the surgery and I'm still pissed off. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Someone needs to take the digital camera away from me immediately.

I'm gonna end up having to get a paid photobucket account.
