It’s nice picking new things up every day. No matter how small. Some days you don’t learn anything – and that’s alright. For the most part, however, it’s not so hard.

It’s futile.

Make it a habit. No matter what time, no matter how much you put down, just write. There have been a few times where I’d open up my journal and write, “No time to write tonight, it’s already 3am.” And that’s okay – I still made a habit of writing every day. And it’s helped.

Hairspray! Was actually a really great show aside from the poor seating. This was definitely something worth doing. Others that I /really/ want to see are Avenue Q, Phantom of the Opera, and The Producers. I have to get to NYC more often. :)

I was hoping for under 40. It didn’t happen, but I got close. I needed to stop after the fourth mile because of the biggest cramp I’ve ever had. The walking took about 2-3 minutes. I could have done it. Salty air probably screws up the breathing a bit if you’re not used to it.

Regardless, it was still a great race and I’d be open to try and beat my current PR. It was definitely something worth doing even if you’re not that serious of a runner.

62nd place out of 843, by the way.

Just the other day my dad was in town and we went to the local post office to finish this up for our trip to Europe this summer! I can’t wait until I get it. Finally a way out of this country to experience new things.

has been one of those days where I just wouldn’t let myself go through with telling a lie. Hell, I almost feel like Honest Abe… even those small lies didn’t come up. It was relieving knowing that there was nothing I could get caught lying about today. I think this is a start of a beautiful friendship with myself, haha. Definitely worth it.

Actually recently I’ve been talking to someone from England that I met on this. She’s pretty cool so far and it never hurts to broaden your horizons and get out of that shell you may or may not be hiding in. I know I used to be. :)

April 1st this goal will be complete. Up in Cohasset, MA there’s a road race that I’m signing up for. I can’t wait. I did the turkey trot there last year (5k) and I got 3rd for my division. I’m anxious to see how I measure up in this one. Happy running all!

...play Dungeons and Dragons: Online instead :D

I don’t think I’ll have any problem finishing this one. After another month… April 1, I’ll take it off of my list.

I’ve been watching these like crazy. I’ve watched 14 of them already and I have to say – so far, I agree with the list. All of the ones I’ve watched definitely deserve to be on the list. I even watched the original (IV, V, and VI) Star Wars trilogy over again. I love it so… ^_

I’ll have this done soon enough.

This will not be difficult as I made a pact with myself I would never stoop to my father’s level. Since then, about a year now, I haven’t had a sip. This will last a lifetime.

Finally. After waiting for over two months for the librarian to finally talk to the board about my application, I am hired. I got the news today and I start working as soon as I get some information in. The odd thing, it doesn’t really strike a real happy emotion. I guess it’s just another thing to tick off my list of things I need to do to ‘grow up’ as my parents would say. Well, I hope they’re happy. A little extra money never hurt anyone though…

Lately I’ve been digressing from the ska. But I popped in some Streetlight and BOTAR today and my love was reborn. I was in my room skanking all alone. But it was worth it – I had fun.

Keep it up, rudies.

It’s who I am. I like to think things over a lot. I don’t really mind it, but at times it can get really annoying. I do think it gives me an advantage over some. A lot of people don’t do it and it doesn’t help them in the end. I don’t know, I see it being more useful than not.

I’ve just been in a really positive mood. I’m sick with strep right now and I’ve been positive the entire way through. I wrote a senior paper necessary to graduate while being sick and I’ve been positive the entire way through. I think I can consider this one done. It feels good just telling myself I’ve been thinking positively lately. Maybe that helps too. Try it.

Cheers :D

I’ve done this to a lesser degree. I’ve walked for hours around my town with no predetermined destination. It was one of the most peaceful things I’ve done lately. And bringing someone along with that you can really just connect with is even better. I kinda did it tonight – even though it was almost freezing out. It was nice though. A road trip would be even better. I can’t wait until I get that car. I think it’ll be one of the first things I do.

...romantic. But the thing is, I don’t plan on it happening any time soon. I choose to remain single and it’s only when I’m in a relationship that romance takes its place. So this will be on here for quite a while. But it’s always fun to dream. :)

So I needed to get my senior project done /today/. I got it done, but in at least 6 hours. Which is 4 hours more than it should have. I found myself constantly checking the word count to see where I was. After realising I was nowhere close, I’d go play Super Mario World for a bit and come back – only to find myself getting distracted after another 50 words. I’m not even happy the way it came out. I’ll be going back tomorrow and fixing up some things and making some final touches – let’s just hope I don’t get side-tracked over something so simple.

This will take a long time.

One day it just came to me. Who cares? So I shrugged my shoulders, whispered, “Fuck it” and I kept walking. I suppose it’s all mind over matter. But you build up to it. Today, I went ahead and I messaged someone I’ve never spoken to in my life – what I had to tell myself: I don’t care what they think of me. This is me.

C’mon guys, I’m cheering for you all.
