Well hello, everyone! It's been a very long time since I've done a real update, and quite frankly it's because my focuses in life have been shifting a lot recently. At one time I'll be completely devoted to piano, and then I'll just want to hang out with friends. I'll be all obsessed with photography like I have been this past week, then I'll just ( Read more... )

I really like how certain music artists, genres, or songs remind me of certain times in my life. It’s like they take me back to that time, even for just that temporary occasion. The music doesn’t even have to be about that occasion, even, it just has to be a remembrance of ( Read more... )

Man, life is so trippy: After the track meet last night, I went to Quizno's and had a whole regular sub, side salad, and drink. I did a few things on the computer, and then watched a little TV. I was feeling really sleepy, but also hungry (after dinner, wtf?), so I had two more bowls of Special K cereal, and then fell asleep from 7:40 PM - 12:40 AM ( Read more... )

I've been adding/editing playlists, pictures, and music to my iPod all afternoon and into the evening, and I'm loving it. I'm obviously still in the "omg it's a new iPod!!11!!" stage, but I'm sure that the temporary obsession I have over it will die down within a couple of weeks. Don't get me wrong, I'll still use it all the time, but I won't be so ( Read more... )

I am finally starting realize more of what being busy does to oneself. Of course, I had realized it before, but throughout Christmas break, an extended period of laziness overwhelmed me. That made it seem like life would be so easy, and just think: if Christmas break did go on forever, life would be pretty simplistic and easy-going ( Read more... )

My feelings for the discontinuation of practice for the Frosh/Soph division of cross-country are controversial. We're not obligated to practice anymore, since only Varsity boys and girls go onto a couple more meets. I'm glad that I've finished off my 2005 sophomore cross-country season, but also a little disappointed at certain aspects. I'm going ( Read more... )

Our cross-country team throws a pretty awesome party for it just originally being a "pasta dinner." Almost everyone was there at one time or another with the exception of Taiki, Matt, and Karla, I believe. I had some fettucini Alfredo, Gatorade, and bread for the main course, and some moist cake for dessert. Everyone was all weird and giggly the ( Read more... )

During cross-country practice today, we did an interval workout. (Also known as a "tempo" workout.) I decided tonight that I'll let anyone who feels like learning about it in on how these workouts go about happening.

Introduction:First off, they are very strenuous, and test your willingness to give your full participation for the sport. It gives ( Read more... )

Ah, what a very fun night of Halloween-like activities. I'm now back at my house and loaded with pounds of candy that I can much on after the BVAL Cross-Country Championships on Friday--that's going to be fun. I can't believe how tired I am just from the day--I can't even fathom staying up until 2 o'clock in the morning like I did last night! ( ( Read more... )

This day consisted of many different elements. It first went from me waking up late and having to rush through my morning routines, to a relatively slow first period, a revitalizing second period, mellow lunch, easy third period, and then off to the cross-country meet. (And then youth group afterward, of course.) However, the meet was the main ( Read more... )
