Blurb

And blurb I really mean. I've been meaning to post several dozen posts before this but never actually got around to doing it. So now I feel like I have dozens of things to say to you all, but I probably won't remember most of them :/ That's my problem. If I don't write it down, I'll never remember. *sighs* Sometimes it's hard to be grateful for my brain . . . and then I'm reminded I could be brain-dead and so now I'm grateful again lol

So, um, it's been awhile. How's everybody doing? I know my world may not show it but I've been stalking theO pretty regularly as indicated by my comments on various people's posts or pics. I'll just give a shout-out to pandaman08 who I've recently become friends with. Thanks for answering all my random child lit questions ^^ You guys should check out her profile or send her a random pm. She'd love to meet you . . . at least, I think she would. Some of you guys are kinda strange

Oh, and I'd like to thank those random people who have kept viewing my world even though I haven't posted in it since the 15 of December. You always made me laugh when I saw those views keep going up when nothing was there. I'm popular without saying anything I guess. It's a talent. What can I say?

Hmm, what have I been doing recently? Well, I've started doing three miles with a friend every monday and wednesday. I'm very proud of myself because I haven't really done distances that can be counted in miles since junior high (I'm in college now). Needless to say I look pretty pathetic gasping for oxygen on the 6th lap, but hey, pathetic looking exercise will eventually turn into impressive exercise right? Right?

How am I feeling right now? Well, I'm irritated because grooveshark won't play my playlist *pouts* Excited because I've been getting a lot of stuff written in my story. Discouraged because I have a whole other notebook of story stuff that I need to put into the computer. Basically my emotions are running the whole gambit I suppose.

Erm, what else. I've been taking a lot of random classes this semester since it's my final semester in school 0.0 (If you can, please pray that I find whatever path in life I'm supposed to take careerwise. I'm really hanging up in the air on this one -_-) Anyway, I'm taking First Responder which is basically learning first aid and how to respond to different emergency situations. I'll be getting certified as a EMR if I can pass the test (seemingly more doubtful all the time XD) But it's okay if I don't pass the test since I basically just took this class because 1) it seemed like a good life skill to have and 2) so I could mutilate my characters with medical correctness lol I mean, really, all I knew to do if someone got cut, say, with a sword or whatever was "and they wrapped that with a bandage." Hey man, sorry about that wound. Hope you don't get gangrene or something lol
I'm also taking Old Testament Poetry (Old Testament as in the Bible). It's very interesting. I never knew Hebrew poetry had so many different types of forms like synthetic, acrostic, and a dozen that don't come to mind atm along with all the regular poetical stuff like metaphor, synecdoche, apostrophe, litotes, etc.
Another interesting class I'm taking is American Sign Language with cricket20. It's my first time taking a class like this and it can be a bit overwhelming because all the other people in the class seemed to have previous experience signing before I feel a lost a lot, but we have a great teacher who's really encouraging. She had her mom, who is functionally deaf, come in the other day and tell us about how she was sent to a deaf school when she was 13 and how she met her husband there. She would stand at her dorm window and sign to him on the ground because the boys and girls weren't supposed to talk to each other at that school. Things sure have changed a lot since then lol

Okay, I guess that's enough personal information overload for one day. Don't say I never told you anything about myself xP Jana mina! And Ganbatte!
