Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your Arthritis Medication

What broke my day: Feeling bloated. Not feeling fat, but feeling so extremely bloated that you just want to go to bed. I've been feeling like that all day, and it's so annoying. Feeling bloated makes me feel all gross and lame, and lazy. My joints feel like they need to be cracked to remove the fluid, much like I feel when I wake up. Which is why I feel lazy; feeling like you just woke up every moment for a day will do that to you. I keep cracking my neck and fingers hoping that they will feel better, but instead I am left feeling like a 98 year-old woman with arthritis. I don't know if your aware, but my name isn't Benjamin Button, and I, an 18 year-old should not feel like I am 87.  I have been drinking water all day, and I am not dehydrated, but for some reason I can't shake this feeling....of being old and gross. The only thing I can hope is that as an old-woman I'm more like Betty White than Mrs. Crabtree I tried taking a bath, drinking water, working out (which is extremely hard considering I'm a gimp) but still it's just one of those days where being an old woman is how I feel. My eyes are all puffy, I mean to say they feel puffy, but they look fine, I have a dim headache, and it looks like tonight is going to be an early night, because staying up and feeling like this isn't going to help. This has turned into a laundry list of complaints, but being Betty White is okay with me...so I better start... assholes.
What made my day: For the past couple days I have been having this intense movie quote 'battle' if you will, via facebook with my friend. Back story: I have watched the movie Tangled literally 8 times within the past 3 days. 5 times with my nephew, and 3 times with another girl I babysit. This reminded me of my friend pink Sarah who watched the movie like 20 times the week of finals. So I told her that I had found her perfect child, my nephew, who will watch it with her as much as she wants. Then she quoted something from the movie, I quoted back, she requoted, I....well you get the drift. I'm running out of quotes, and am finding myself watching the movie on purpose to get more quotes, because going on IMBD feels like cheating because she knows these quotes by heart. The fact that we are two adult women, quoting a Disney princess movie like we wrote the darn thing makes me feel not only a little nerdy, but a little like I'm reliving my childhood. I mean Disney Princesses and girls go together like peanut butter and jelly. Even frat guys understand this fact. Don't believe me: go to fratmusic.com, go to the playlists under hoe'in out (derogatory, but that doesn't change the fact that they impressed me with their playlists and how they are perfectly geared towards women) and there is a playlist called DDDDIIIIISSSSNNNNEEEEYYYY. The quote battle isn't really violent or malicious, but it will decide who is more girly, and let me tell you pink Sarah is going to win. I love the fact that my friends get as geeked out about certain child-like subjects as I do. It makes me feel like I'm not a loser.  And that is why it makes my day.
