Dear Friend,
It seems like everybody is going towards Xanga now. It’s kind of funny because I was telling everyone about this page about 2 years ago but no one listened to me.
It’s alright everybody, Stephanie pointed out that I’m pretty nerdy so it’s normal for people to overlook things like that. >:P
This used to be the place for sad entries, but maybe I’ll be able to write something nice here once in a while.
Love,
Me.

Just like I had nothing to put on Live Journal, so it became my place for poetry, I had nothing to put on Xanga, so it’s become my place for a collection of short stories. They’re all going to be about people’s lives that I’ve lived vicariously, but written in a first-person point of view.
I think that it’s always important to look at someone’s situation through another point of view in order to better understand what they may have felt during the event or to piece together answers that lay hanging in my head.
This project has really good potential. I just hope that I can keep myself motivated.

So my computer was broken for a while, but now it’s fixed so there’s nothing to worry about anymore. As you can see, I have a brand-spankin’ new layout [what else is new?]. This one, though not as creative as my last, feels a lot better to me. Don’t ask me why, I wouldn’t be able to tell you.
Nothing much has been changing in my life as of late. Which, I suppose, is a good thing. Although it would be nice to have excitement sometimes. Perhaps I will try a new hobby or something. HA!
Been pretty wrapped up with Circle K. You’ll often see me here. Yeah, I’m a nerd, I can’t deny it. ^_^;
Somehow, I feel I’ve changed, but I can’t put my finger on it. I want to write about it, to express it from the bottom of my heart as I have in the past, but my skills have withered with time, it seems.
Incidentally, I don’t feel bad about it.

Today I rediscovered what it means to actually *listen* to music as opposed to just hearing it. How long has it been since I have actually just sat still and let a song penetrate my brain and not just graze the surface? Too long.
It’s easy to hear a song and like it, but to be able to tolerate a song while listening to it is another matter. In this case a catchy tune and a repeated chorus is no longer enough to keep my attention. Somtimes I might even dislike hearing a song but enjoy listening to it.
Why is that?
Music is such a mysterious medium. Lyrics can bring a smile to your lips or tears to your eyes. A tune can be so poignant that your whole body shivers — like the pain in your chest before you start to cry or with the pleasure of knowing that such art can exist.
Music can inspire you, depress you. The right song can motivate you to move faster or stop you in your tracks, closing your eyes to enjoy the moment. It’s a comedy, a story– a drama that’s so sad that you can’t turn away from it. Music is an art that is always perfect but can never be perfected.
Music is art.

It’s amazing how with bad luck, even the easiest things to take care of can die. My boyfriend got one of those living ecosystems with the shrimp for his birthday. You know, the ones where you don’t ever have to feed them or change the water — all you have to do is leave them there.
It all started with one shrimp. All of a sudden he fell dead! (WTF), as if that wasn’t sad enough, the next day my bf woke up and then 2 more were dead…. And then the third day all of them were dead!
What gives? How could he have done something wrong? The shrimps are in a glass egg w/ no holes and no opening and you CANT feed them and you CANT give em water… So sad, so sad.
On a brighter note, he gets an exchange because they’re guaranteed to last at least 6 mo.

Yesterday was a pretty busy day. Spent most of the morning raising money for March of Dimes : Walk America which i’m walkin’ in on sunday.
Great stuff. I can’t wait!
Got back from class, hung out with Hong and Stephanie (circ-k) and played Super Smash Bros for a bit. Went to Larry’s surprise b-day party. Played SSBros there. ^_^* Its like a never-ending SSBros revolution! Fairly disappointed, didn’t see Larry truly pegged in the quach once on his birthday. Probably everybody’s gift to his balls. =D
Afterwards came John’s dinner pah-tee nicknamed “Loads of Beef”, 9.22 lbs of beef and 8 lbs of shrimp at our disposal. Mmmmm. Talk about being stuffed! =) Seemed like everybody and there mother [EXCEPT for a certain person who wouldn’t go because of VIDEO GAMES] was there partaking in the food extravaganza. =D Food, videogames, food, cards, food, talking, food…. What more could anyone want?

Things that I want to implement as the 2003-2004 Convention/FTC chair in Circle K:
1. Add $3.00 spirit fee to FTC and convention for spirit items for everyone that aren’t super cheapy cheap.
2. Teach cheers at meetings.
3. Encourage people to submit skit ideas early.
4. Create a FTC committee and then a convention committee.
5. Throw a bottle at Larry’s Quach.

I think this has to be the longest hiatus I’ve ever been on. I’ve attempted to return to this favourite activity of mine several times since the last post, but I haven’t been able to. I think it’s a lot like working out.
For the past 2 years I’ve been steadily gaining weight, and I knew I had to start working out, but I could not bring myself to keep doing it. It’s the same way with the blogging.
However, I started working out every other day recently with super-resolve to try to lose some weight (or just get fit) and with my resolve I’ve been able to keep it up!
So I’m going to try the same thing with the blog.
Plus, I’ll try harder not to think that entries are useless just because they don’t have some thoughtful and inspirational idea.
