Noncommitment Girl

"The longer she forces herself to avoid relationships (because that's what she's doing), the more hardened she will become. She will get to the point where having a relationship becomes something that is scary and ominous, because she believes that by giving in to one she will lose everything else she is working on. Yes, it's a control issue, friends, and because relationships are unpredictable she feels like if she has one, the rest of her carefully calibrated, foolproof routine will go out the window.

It's easy for Noncommitment Girl to let her life be solely about her. She has to realize, though, that her life is about more than just herself."

Apparently I am Noncommitment Girl, which I suppose is heaps better than The Cheater, The Flirt, or Goin' to the Chapel Girl. Out of the multitude of categories, I'm happy with what Lo tells me I'm in. Overall, a good read and a welcome distraction from the perils of heavy textbooks. I will be happy to lend anyone my autographed copy if they want to know what "girl" they are. Or boy. Don't be shy.

I'm now going to take a page from a friend and give you a day in the life of Noncommitment Girl. On a holiday.

7:15a: Wake up.
7:20: Coffee. Lots of it. Eat.
8:30: Leave to go teach Attack.
9: Teach Attack to some serious diehards.
10: Sit at the gym and make fun of people with a friend. (Jeggings Lady took the cake. Also, I know I'm a horrible person.)
11:30: Arrive at home. Eat.
12:40: Think about doing homework.
12:45: Fall asleep on the couch.
2:15: Get off the couch only to eat.
3: Watch Scott get into a fight with some weirdo who was picking a fight with Kim on the Kardashians.
4: Contemplate going to 5:30 Attack. Decide I'm hungry. Eat.
5:30: Decide to be responsible and study.

And that my friends, is how you live it up on Presidents' Day. Look out, Easter.

  1. I want to borrow your autographed copy and find out what kinda girl I am! I might be a "Goin' to the Chapel" girl...

  2. Becoming engaged to Paul after two months probably catapulted me into the 'Goin' to the Chapel Girl'.

  3. Ok, did you know they were called jeggings? Is that a made up word? They're fantastic! Maybe you should get some for an upcoming launch. Just tell Mulligan they're Lulu...

    You left out that the only thing better than people watching at the gym would be people watching at the gym with cocktails!

  4. I'm still pondering the bizarre complexity of a world where someone who regularly attends/teaches Body Attack can be described as 'non-committal'.

  5. I think my favorite part of reading about your President's day was seeing how much you ate! Now that's a girl I can relate to.
