Motion. Emotion. Demotion. Toss me in the bloody ocean.
What's exciting in my life is that everything is going wrong.
"Hey guess what? I'm going crazy. The cool thing is I'm LOVING it."
What better way to handle a big wave is there than to ride it?
Umm... on a happy note, I stole my huge poster of Legolas back from Kelsey. She still has my life-sized cardboard cut-out of him, and a couple of my other pictures and stuff, but I'll be content with this one for now.
I can't figure out whether I want to go to Alaska or Austria this summer. Earn money or spend money? Do something tried and true or do something scary and new? See Steven and/or Erik again or like, not?
For anyone who cares, if I went to Alaska I would fish most of the time, thus earning a buttload of money, having an ass-some time, get the chance to see two of my friends, and work crazy hard (which I thoroughly enjoy doing). If I went to Austria I would spend six weeks continuing my German education at Bogenhofen (which I've heard is conservative and dull - I've also heard six weeks teaches one nothing) and I would also spend about two weeks traveling around Europe by train with my two cousins. I've never been to Germany, or anywhere in Europe other than the U.K. and Greece, the two far-corners, hah, I'm cool.
I'm teaching myself how to play the bagpipes again. I took like, two or three years of lessons a while ago, and then got caught up in school and didn't touch my pipes for a year or two. Then I took a trip to England and Scotland and realized, duuuude, I really like playing! My musical-involvement has kinda taken a dive. I'm not in bells anymore, I'm not in band anymore, I'm not playing my bagpipes anymore, I don't play the piano anymore, I gave up on the ukelele when I found out it was actually impossible to get it the one I own in tune, and I haven't called anybody to get help fixing my guitar.
Strangely enough, I've taken up the hobby of staring at fish. I have three black tetras, two dwarf puffers (who bite everybody else), one big yellow snail, a reed fish (looks like an eel sorta), and an algae eater. Oh, and I have a lily bulb which sprouted recently and is growing crazy-fast! I stare at my fish tank for hours. Way cool. Fragments goooood.
That's long. Woe to the loser who actually read the whole thing, hahahaha.
Wow, my cat is BIG! i.e. 18 lbs, short hair. Here he comes down the stairs now! So cuddly! Love him
