08:05 pm - You know what's awesome? Cooked foods.
So today was the first full day of being a raw foodist. Magic. I actually awoke from a dream and woke up to realize I had been dreaming about a big bowl of rice.
It's really for the best though, I think I need to work through an extreme and difficult change to my diet to really respect what I will be asking of clients when I tell them to change their diet. It's pretty much changing the way you live.
It's also mad how your mind sabotages you into thinking that you need what you aren't getting. This morning for example I felt deprived of something while I was eating breakfast. But, I don't eat breakfast normally. Or, I normally eat salads for lunch, but it felt like some big deal chore today. Ridiculous. The raw girl I know says that normally you wouldn't go cold turkey like this, and after the three day mark it will be easier.
I've never been really one to diet before, so maybe this is why I am so ill-prepared to deal with this.
Also I'm trying to get into the fermented food thing, but again my brain is saying, "Um Anna, remember how we don't eat spoiled food?"

08:18 pm - The Raw Extreme
So I am giving the whole raw foods thing a try. Not forever, but I kind of just want to give it a try.

03:06 pm - Things I Hate
1- People who use the word "chesticles" instead of breasts.
2- Brazil nuts.
3- Late buses.
4- Those double SUV strollers.
5- People who don't wipe down gym equipment.
6- People who try to friend me on facebook when we would not speak if we ran into each other on the street.
7-People who use the word "detox" or "cleanse" instead of diet.
8- Things that make my hands sticky.
9- The horrific yuppie/hippie hybrid that makes up the population of Vancouver.
10-People who abuse spandex and leggings. They are a privilege, not a right.
11- Douchebag frat boys who walk around quoting that show "Entourage"
12- People who are walking around in those surgical flu masks.
13- People who still think adding "That's what she said" to statements is still relevant and funny.
14- That show "Grey's Anatomy".
15- 98% of the customers at the store.

02:16 pm - Less than 2 weeks to go
I can't believe how soon the trek to Vancouver is.
I'm so excited! We have a beautiful place to stay for a couple months until we get our own place, there's a room mate and she seems very lovely. Obviously I'm looking forward to Conor and I having space that it just ours again, but it's nice to have something that's certain.
I find myself overly romancing this area though. It's going to be bittersweet to leave.
Kingston is a beautiful city, and will always hold a special place in my heart, but I am so ready to leave it. I will miss the people. Not just in Kingston, but friends in other Ontario cities as well. I suppose it's a bit of comfort that I will probably see them the same amount I did previously.
I really know now that I need to stay firm with myself about school. I need to pay off my loan, or at least most of it before going back. I think it's the location change and everything that is making me panic about not being in school anymore. I can't wait to go back, and I think it's that passion thats going to make me work harder to pay back that loan sooner. I wish I were secure enough in myself to feel like I can make it in the workforce, and that I shouldn't just cloister myself away with my books and shelter myself from the "real world by staying a student forever.
I really would love it though if I had enough money and no social responsibility for that I could just leave everything behind, get new stuff and not pack/unpack anything.
