- So I've been downloading a lot of podcasts (okay, mostly Preston & Steve) and new music, and been reading American Gods. It has come to my attention that I cannot pay full attention to both simultaneously. So today, I left AG at home and decided I'd listen to my iPod on the train.

Then I got on the train and discovered I didn't have my iPod. I REALLY hope I just left it in my car and it didn't drop out of my purse in the parking lot and someone picked it up or drove over it or I left it in the little train shop or it's in my car and someone breaks in to steal it and is anyone else as paranoid as I am or what?

- Still have not made it to the gym, despite having the free 8-week trial coupon. Frankly, it's the fear of having the wrong outfit. The last time I went to the gym, it was college, and it didn't matter what you wore because we all were constantly running around in pyjamas anyway. But now I'm planning on going to the one in Manhattan and I have horrible anxiety concerning showing up in the wrong type of pants! Fuck. Tips, people?

- I love 43 Things right now. I think it's a bit unfair that it's automatically tied into 43 Places, because Hell, I have a hard enough time remembering 43 things, and part of those involve places I'd like to go. I'm not making two lists, you bastards!

Pssh. I go to the gym in a t-shirt/wife beater and sweatpants.

At the Bally's in Oxford Valley, you can tell people just wear whatever they're comfy in. I don't even think it needs to be clean. :)

Boooo LJ/computer. Someone else on my flist was having problems, so I don't think it's just you.

Go to the gym in sweats and a tshirt.
You don't need to spend money on a "Gym Outfit" those are for people who are trying to pick up dates at the gym.

P.S.
Your ipod became self aware at 1:07 am last night and began playing only nancy sinatra in order to over throw its human overlords. Mine is a G2 so I'm safe sorry for all you fancy new Ipod people.

THESE BOOTS ARE MADE FOR WALKIN'

My iPod is going to trample me to death?

[jaina.livejournal.com]

It's just trying to learn you better.

It tingles.

If you want to look fancy at the gym, just buy some striped Adidas pants and a sports bra to wear under a boy-beater. That's what I remember of girls at the gym from my lonely NYSC days.

1. Good plan. Thanks, sweetie!
2. Boy-beater sounds like a male masturbation aid.

I consistently wear the wrong pants to my gym, frankly cuz i'm too chubby to wear their damn outfits. I am at the gym to LOSE weight, not look hot. So, I say do what I do...fuck'm! Wear what you will be comfortable working out in! You will likely never see those people again anyway, and why bother impressing strangers at a gym anyway?

[fadingembers.livejournal.com]

Yes, but I'm still insecure because one of the stipulations of the free trial is I undergo some sort of orientation, which I assume involves standing in my underwear while they circle my fat, a la sorority orientation on Lifetime.

[zuppy28.livejournal.com]

I bet "orientation" means they show you where the locker room is and where the towels are

[restivemind.livejournal.com]

You get towels at your gym????????????????????????
We have towels too...of the paper variety...
