when I ride my handcycle I turn into A DIFFERENT person. Today:
1. rode for 2.25 hours without a shirt on. Kristin whaaat. Stopped and talked with so many people. They didn’t patronize me, which was nice.
2. screamed the sentence “dis weather is good” like ebonics to men in a porch. I picked up a new dialect. Then I waved my hands off and kept going.
3. Riding with my elbows up to air out my armpits because I saw someone doing that once at a soccer game. I don’t sweat. who am I

I discovered neighborhood attached to mine that’s HUGE, which is great news for my handcycling, but also today while I was riding I got 2 shoutouts from men on their porches (2 different houses. one topless man, one shirted), saw one butt crack, and got the name of an acupuncturist in Richmond that “can cure disabilities” (shoutout to my new friend Giselle).
Achilles and I are lost in this neighborhood right now. I’m so happy

I had drinks tonight with a girl named Taylor so I nicknamed her Tequila Taylor and it’s good, I’ve addressed her at least 35 times. I tried to make “Kinky Kristin” a thing but nobody caught on. Marielle said I “have to earn” my nickname and that’s scary so I let it go

Right now I’m on tennis, rowing, handcycling, and archery teams so I think I should wait until summer to sign up for horseback riding. By then I’ll only be doing handcycling, lacrosse, and road racing.
— I didn’t realize how much of a CRAZY PERSON I am until I wrote this email. but soon I’m going to be a horseback-riding-crazy-person. soon. isn’t that exciting.

Audrey and I made “Vision Boards” but if you look really closely mine just says “BEYONCÉ” with a bunch of black people standing below it. Do I aspire to be Beyoncé? I missed the point of the exercise.

“Kristin you look really good.”

“Yeah last time I saw you, you had a belly like me. You’re more in shape now.”
-Aaron, the cable guy.

This was exciting

every time I meet a new friend or get kinda close to someone (a female) I think “maybe she’ll be my bridesmaid.” Then if we stop being close or they do something bad I take them off my bridesmaid list, like revenge I’m getting.

DON’T EVEN HAVE A BOYFRIEND YET. 

and I’m so content with it.

but for some reason I have a running bridesmaid-list in my head. right now I’m up to 3 definities, 1 potential, and 1 I just took off the list. it seems like I’m suuper excited to get married but I’m not. (I just like making lists)

I measure quality of activities by saying “WAS THIS MORE FUN than being at home with Achilles?” and adaptive archery,
as it turns out,
was not.
