5. December 22nd, 2008: The Golden Bar, Lycksele, Sweden. I went here with DD and her friends and had decidely un-Swedish food: Kebab pizza. It was good though.

6. March 18, 2009: Eddie's Rocket Cafe, O'Connell Street, Dublin, Ireland. This is Dublin's version of a 50s diner. It was awesome. lol

7. July 3rd, 2009: Sneaky Pete's, LeClaire, Iowa. I went here with my aunt and it was pretty good, although the drunken wench who followed us around complaining about smoking laws kinda killed the mood. lol

February 2008: February 2008's item is a Planet Podcast t-shirt (and stickers, but the shirt's the primary purchase).
March 2008: I found some Dukes shoes at the thrift store across the street. They were only 2 dollars, and I love them.
April 2008: I forgot to update this when I got it, but on the 27th I bought myself a few new t-shirts.
May 2008: New pants!
June 2008: I bought the novel The Beach.
July 2008: bought a cool necklace for myself.
August 2008: Bought Rudy, one of my absolute favorite movies, on DVD for 5 bucks.
May 18th, 2009: I have absolutely sucked at updating this, but I've been keeping up with it. Mostly the items purchased were t-shirts at thrift stores or discount books from bookstores, but hey, it works. This month's item(s) included two pairs of shoes and a nice Abercrombie shirt that I found for a buck. lol
June 2008: Kind of expensive, but I went ahead and got both myself and DD tickets to go to L6 in September. lol

I got some really nice new glasses on Thursday, and they make me look really good. In fact I was just in the bathroom and caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, and I thought I actually looked pretty.

Also, I've been doing at least a hundred stairs a day (it's 20 steps from my apartment to ground level so that one's pretty simple, just up and down five times) and I can feel my legs getting a little firmer. I'm not anywhere close to what I want to look like yet but I'm trying.

I'm really trying. I've been forcing myself to come out of my room and hang out with my roomies in the kitchen most days, and I've had dinner with them a few times. I went out for drinks with Al and I was scared to death of that before. I've signed up for a tour with a few other people and I'm going to a pub meet for the people on the BUNAC visa. I've gone to a uni here and took a short campus tour and met with a lady about hosting exams.

It's hard but once I actually get out of the house I'm usually fine.
