So.

I dyed my hair red. Not, you know, that nice, natural red that everyone envies and that is slowly disappearing from the gene pool. It's closer to the color sported by Ariel of The Little Mermaid. And, well, I love it. I promise to upload pictures as soon as I can figure out how to do so. My computer refuses to recognize the USB port of my ( Read more... )

Don't kill bugs... they have feelings, too, you know.

Sports entries are boring. I hate to admit that to athletes, but it is the truth; no one wants to know if you broke your personal record or came in forty-second place. But, alas, I find myself writing about my first cross-country race. I kept up with a girl who is my pace; I could have done better, I know, but it was ninety-five degrees, muddy, and ( Read more... )

Good morning! Today is going to be a terribly busy day; I have book distribution in an hour or so, room cleaning, my first cross-country meet (Lord have mercy on my soul), and school supplies shopping.

Heyloo! What a busy and fun week I have had! I really do not know where to start! Hmm... oh, well. I suppose that I should give up reporting the Jehovah's Witness sketch at the Fly, talking to Brenden until 5:30 A.M., doing the hand jive during practice, watching my brother play baseball, finally starting my volunteer work at the library, etc., etc ( Read more... )

Endorphins are the best things on earth. I mean, honestly, if I had known how much exercise would affect my mind, I would have begun this marathon training long ago. I find myself needing to go out and ride my bike. I rode for eight miles yesterday and did not wake up with the slightest pain this morning. I am also developing some very intimidating ( Read more... )

It is about time that I sat down and wrote ( Read more... )
