Redemption song

Since everyone balked at my post-surgical photo (and since most haven't seen me since I was 16) here's a better shot. This is actually going to be my motivation when I get back to the gym.

I am almost able to walk again without any pain, and the swelling in my leg has gone down. Still, I spend most of the day flat on my back. (Hey now, don't go getting any ideas) I have debated trying to do some upper body work with my weight set, but I think my mom would murder me.

Okay, the old me would've sat here and listed all of the things that are horrible about that picture, but as I was recently advised to "quit it with the self-deprecation", I will just say..."Thank you"? That feels SO weird...I think maybe I'll explain it to the ficus.

And for the record, I never "shot down" Joe, my friend did. That minor detail notwithstanding, Joe actually was retarded.

Dr. Random, tell me who you are and I'll tell you if I know you. :O)

Ohhhhkay, yes I know you! Whew, there go a few months of mystery! I think we may have even had a class or two together, but I might be hallucinating that bit.

Yeah, Joe, that's what happens when you ask out a girl's friend instead of her directly. And I'm sure the fact that I was (finally!) dating someone didn't have anything to do with this "rejection".

I just wanted to congratulate you on graciously accepting the compliments. If it makes you feel better, I have no problem saying bad things about your picture... only to make you feel better though.

Ha! Thanks, Tom and Gary, for the deprecation by proxy.
