as the hot weather approaches, i find myself craving more and more raw foods. it is great because they generally take less time to prepare and they don’t turn our apartment into a sauna. win. we made pasta tonight too. it is tricolored, contains veggies and i think i’m addicted.

ingredients:

1 can garbanzo (chickpea) beans, drained and rinsed

2 large bunches of spinach

2 cloves garlic

1/3 onion

1/4 c nutritional yeast

1/8 c oil

1 tsp soy sauce

1/4 c soy milk

1 tsp oregano

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 box pasta

1. combine all ingredients except pasta in a food processor. process until a pesto-like consistency. 

2. cook pasta. drain. toss with sauce, a shake of salt and pepper.

i should probably be more careful what i write here i guess 

i need to vent somewhere but i feel like a failure for needing to and like more of a failure because all my problems are worthless privileged first-world bullshit

i have no right to complain or feel sad my life is better than literally billions of people’s

but if i don’t put this stuff down it’ll eat me alive 

and in a way part of me resents that i never get any feedback no matter whether i’m doing well or terribly?

i’m just another bitching nobody to scroll past on your dashboard

but that’s how it should be i don’t deserve the attention and that’s not passive-aggressive that’s fact

i think i’m getting too tired i’m nauseous-crying alone in my bedroom at 5 am what the fuck is wrong with me

but i can’t sleep

i pretty much throw my exercise level through the roof

i’m currently doing about four hours of mid-to-high impact exercise per week between my two two-hour derby practices

one focuses on mostly pack work and drills so the workout is less intense but the other is endurance/core night which is just hell on skates

so on monday i’ll be adding 30-45 minutes of cardio plus an hour of strength training three times a week onto that

just by virtue of my lifting class and that me and my friends are going to try running as a warmup

i want to lose eight to ten more pounds before i take another step back and look at myself

if it happens before i have to cosplay and not be the ugliest homestuck then all the better

pyrates:

hhh i’m not small enough to be petite but i’m not tall enough to find things that don’t look awkward on me
