Make new mistakes

this is wrong. 7 months ago

Everything about this screams insanity, heartbreak, delusion.

I want to kiss him so badly it hurts.

Rejected once. Do I really want to burn again?

Yes. Yes, oh yes.

Bring on the flames, baby.

Get better at Japanese

New Year! 15 months ago

I’ve been lucky enough to have been taking Japanese for two years at an excellent university, but I haven’t been taking it seriously.

I finally went to Japan this summer.

I HAVE to finish learning this language, if it takes my entire life.

One of the things I think will definitely help me is buying a Nintendo DS with a kanji dictionary or just a kanji dictionary. I plan on buying one before I start classes this fall. Ganbarimashou!

learn figure skating

What? 15 months ago

I don’t know. I don’t know.

I’m a complete introvert. I write. I sing in my bedroom. I read and watch movies. I (God help me) philosophize.

But I’ve always, always wanted to be graceful. In something. I’m probably the most awkward, lumbering person on the planet – and after so many years spent cultivating my brain, I’d like, for once, to see what my body can do.

I’m willing to spend time on this, because it’s completely new and exciting to me. I need a change; my body is begging me for one.

I’m not saying I want to compete in the 2012 Olympics, but if I can get an axel out of this, well, I’d say that’s an accomplishment. Also, as a recent transplant to New England, I think doing a winter sport would be a good way to finally get me accustomed to the climate.

Good luck, me?
