Endorphins!

[suspectclass]

I have been supercranky all day. After a nap and a sandwich, I put together my cateye bike light and biked to the gym. Less than an hour later, sweaty and feeling a little less broken than the last time I went, I got back on the bike and rode home, in the best. mood. ever. I got home and was talking in exclamation points.

I love the gym! I'm all energized! With my blinky light! And my pants rolled up to my knees! [no lie] How did I forget about endorphins? They're nature's cocaine!

Except, of course, not as inherently likely to cause heart attack, arrest, or cartels.

This ties in nicely with my decision to join a basketball team, starting conveniently the week after my LSAT. As well as my plans to go snowboarding in California with my dad and sisters.

I'm eating a smoothie and remembering why exercise is the perfect cure for pining. Because endorphins are better than love.

And/or exercise is the new sex. At least that was my motto this summer.

you know, last year when i was in a relationship with a man who could throw a 3 hour fuck... i was in AMAZING shape. really, rather outragious physical form. and when people asked me what sort of workout plan i had i would just shrug and look innocent.
so maybe instead of replacing one with the other, you should just start combining them! post a craigslist add, "30 minutes of cardio" in the casual hookups section.

now, that is better than *just* endorphines from the gym...

but no, in all seriousness... endorphines are why i am addicted (realy, its an addiction at this point) to the gym and to kickboxing and barrel racing.

Oh, true story.
This was my summer of celibacy. I'm definitely back to the old sex as well... at least when my S.O. and I are in the same place. We're both kind of Olympians of the art.

Ok, both of you? Hush.

endorphins are the shit.
screw relationships and pining.
and hooray for your bicycle! blinky lights rule. one time i went to a show with some bike kids and during the encore we all whipped out our blinky lights and started dancing. it would have been really awesome... if we had been at a rave instead of seeing the decemberists.

Okay, that got me bursting out laughing.

HAHAHAHA.

Hey, you know what else would be awesome? If you called me back and we made plans. That would rock.
