i thought i was strong

i thought i'd seen some pretty messed up things, online and off, and when someone in my unit described the youtube clips of the reactions of people watching the video in question i thought that there was no way i'd be that grossed out.

i was wrong. vile doesn't begin to describe two girls one cup, a video that's making the rounds at a frightening pace and i'm not even bothering to try posting a link.

i think it'll take a few days to get over the shock. back to my reality:

today had a hot start [sorry]: i called them up and fought a bit, and the second woman i spoke to managed to calm me down. i'm not happy with the situation, but it's doable.

my entire junk-food and chocolate consumption for the day can be listed for once:

• 1.5 teaspoons of sugar (for the oats)


• 1 tiny chocolate brownie


• 2 teaspoons of hot chocolate powder


• 1 bag of marshmallows

i'm rather proud of myself!

lunchtime was terrible. we tried to eat with the regular soldiers and the food was pitiful, measly and gross. a few of us went to eat humus, and i have no idea what was going through my mind when i let one of the guys convince me to share a portion. not only am i bigger than he is (and i require a whole meal, all by myself), but the portion that he got served wasn't enough for him alone and we had an unpleasant experience trying to get the serving increased.

i'll be voting with my feet for this one.

i finally (only two years later) made an appointment to get my tat's colour redone, so that's next week's mission :)

i feel like a bit of an idiot for not calling the university to arrange an appointment: i'm amused and impressed that i'm feeling under pressure to get under way - finally!

training tonight was good. supper, shower, bedtime.
