I want to be a Hero!
I'm growing again. Thus, I eat a lot. Thus, much noming is present as I type up this blog.
Shatter, a pet project of mine, finally has a prologue, two chapters finished, and a third chapter in the works. The second chapter ought to see a red pen of doom, but it'll have to wait since I've neglected my club writing in favor of my writers' board, bands, and playing video games. God, I think I'm becoming a nerd...
My grandmother and I went to a show at one of the local colleges last night. A Japanese woman, Osakan, performed magic, story-telling, and astonished me with how fast real Japanese speak. I caught maybe half the words. she also integrated a lot of Japanese culture into her performance and did origami and some light Japanese teaching. "Aya!"
Not being profound here, but high school is difficult. People are childish in the worst ways, you have to deal with sleep deprivation because you stayed up too late playing video games, teachers are bad, I don't have many friends, and you can't get on the internet in computer class. Bah. Thus, I'm initiating Plan: Sophomore Year at Catholic School! My parents are convinced, tuition's a little steep, but we can manage, and I need to take a tour/shadow a student. I don't know if I want to leave my high school or not. There is a lot of anti-Catholics and I'll occasionally get called a vampire when I wear my youth rally shirt. Then, there's the fact that I have some friends at my high school that I probably wouldn't get to see if I left. I don't know...
Finally, I caught a cold that's not so bad that I need medicine, but it's hanging on forever. I feel your pain, Kirinin-sensei. Okay, no I don't, but I'm sorry you're sick and hope you keep getting better. Going straight home after an infuriating day sucks.
Also, I started work on a new song yesturday. The piano part is fun for the chorus. I want to make it more intricate and lovely, but that'll take some work. It's called "2 Hours". It's strangely upbeat for a cry of exasperation.
