I started here on youtube to log my adventures with gastric bypass surgery. (Like GBS and me are having adventures together...like gastric bypass and myself are BFFS) Anyway, most of my videos will be about this. But a little bit about me:I find joy watching ANTM/What Not To Wear/mindless junk marathons into all hours of the night, movies! singing obnoxiously in the car (with or without audience), acting like a seven-year-old with my twin sister, talking like Napoleon Dynamite, good music, uncontrollable and uninspired laughing, teriyaki beef jerky, hot baths, changing my look, pillows, conversing with incredible people, reminiscing about good times, learning from bad times, making others smile, surprising people with kindness, words like "canoli", artsy fartsy stuff, etc... I don't like having dry lips or a cold nose, knowing that Chris Penn died, being laughed at over something really embarassing, days that seem to drag on forever, days that go by too quickly, being a fatty, losing things, spending long periods of time in the sun, driving in the snow, bad music, things not going as planned, not doing what I want, games of the heart, contemplating death and the eternal, politics, having to repeat myself, biting my cheek, fanny packs, anything made from denim except for jeans, David Lynch, farts, blemishes, shaving, etc...
