Today, I danced Nia for the first time in a month and a half--and felt better leaving than I ever have before. Not because the dancing was better (actually, I felt awkward after having not moved like that in quite some time), or the music (though it was phenomenal), but because when I finished, I truly felt--with my heart, soul, mind, and body-- ( Read more... )

And it's not so much a fork unless you angle it correctly, because really one branch is a continuation of the path you're on, and the other is jutting perpendicularly from where you stand ( Read more... )

Yoga is a thing that has been everywhere for a long time--there's a yoga epidemic, if you will, sweeping the world. I always thought that yoga wasn't for me, because I'm not flexible and didn't think I ever could be flexible. Through an uninteresting chain of events, I ended up trying yoga, first through an instructional DVD (after being something ( Read more... )

I regret most that it was his death that turned me into the person who would sing karaoke with him ( Read more... )

I haven't posted here in a long, long while--I suppose it's probably because I haven't had anything that really needed to be said recently. Not that this post will be relevant or interesting either.

I didn't get scholarships to Japan. I don't know how it happened, because all procrastinating aside, I'm a damn good student. Also, in my experience ( Read more... )

MY DINKY LITTLE COMMUNITY COLLEGE WANTS TO GIVE ME AROUND $4000 IN GRANTS TO GO THERE. TUITION IS $925. WHICH MEANS I HAVE APPROXIMATELY $3000 TO TUCK AWAY FOR REAL COLLEGE.

My life. There are perks to having half a brain and no money XD

That is all.

So. Lot's of exciting stuff today. Well. Relatively, I suppose. As in, compared to my usual of existence of sleeping all day, baby sitting until I go to work, and coming home and sitting on the computer for six hours, today was exciting.

Said exciting day started at eight--that in and of itself is quite the accomplishment these days :)

Then, there ( Read more... )

I heard of this book while taking French in eighth grade. I thought nothing of it at the time, until I noticed it being quoted everywhere. It was then that it occurred to me that this was, perhaps, a book worth reading. Five days ago (four years later), while browsing Amazon, I remembered that I'd been wanting to read it; and so I found a copy. It ( Read more... )

I've seen homeless people before--though we don't have very many, they do exist in Casper. The first time I really noticed, I was twelve; we went to D.C., and I was shocked to find people sleeping on the sidewalk, was creeped out when the old man with no teeth stumbled up to my father to ask for a cigarette. I felt bad for them, but I've always ( Read more... )

Well, since I have again found myself procrastinating (surprise?), I have decided to come write a journal. Except I don't really have anything to actually say. Hmm. It's eighteen degrees outside, but the wind chill makes it feel like 2, according to weather.com, which is actually warmer than yesterday--it was 10/felt like -9. Freezing cold is ( Read more... )
