I Think It's Time I Broke Some Glass

So, some of you may have heard that I joined a gym last week. No, it's not a New Year's resolution or anything, although it should be. But, my mom wanted to join a gym and asked if I would too, so I did. We went for the first time today. How was it, you may ask. Oh, I'll tell you tomorrow...when I can't move.

The People Inside

My deepest regrets for not posting in *checks* almost a week. I've been quite busy with things like my hero project (blach), my model (more blech), other homework and...other things. I can't quite remember the past days, so I won't go into what non-interesting things happened to me. I did go birthday shopping with my aunt, perform at my piano recital and play one of the three wisemen in our church program with two fifth grade boys. AAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWKKKKKKK - WARD. But other than that, no. Nothing much.

I'm pretty much stressed over semester tests. Today I took my first one for gym. IT WAS THE MOST AWFUL THING I'VE DONE SINCE THE TOWER OF TERROR AT WALT DISNEY WORLD! We had to run 25 laps in 12 minutes. For those of you who know me, Melanie does not run half a mile in her free time. Maybe at least four, but... So in other worlds it was painful and I pretty much died. I at least got 20 laps in, though, and only walked 3 of them. Impressive for me. I came out red-faced, in pain - barely being able to walk - and exhausted for the rest of the day. Otherwise, it was quite enjoyable. *pained smile*

Countdown to my birthday: 1 day!!!
Number of presents for Melanie under the Jon tree: more than everybody else!

I'll try to post more often, for those of you who care to read this. We'll probably get an update in after my birthday at least, to go over the presents I got! WHEE!

Sorry about the 3C4SR CD Alissa. Maybe I'll let you borrow it?

You're Ever So Inviting.

As you can see, I haven't posted in at least two days. I've been busy as of late with Jon shopping, end of the semester homework, and the rest of my life not on the computer. Although most of the homework was on the good 'ol compy. For not posting since Saturday, I sure don't have much to say.

While sitting in the locker room, waiting for my favorite period of the day to end, I had the insane urge to listen to Underoath. I've never liked Underoath in my life, but I've been a fan of Aaron Gillespie's side project The Almost for awhile. So why I am typing up this post, I'm hoping You're Ever So Inviting by Underoath is downloading. Also, today in Individual/Dual sports, we were playing a hardcore game of basketball when I think...well I don't really know what I did, but I hurt my thumb. And it hurts.

I'm finding it quite hard to remember what happened Sunday and Monday. Is that a sign of Alzheimer's? I think I watched Pictures of Hollis Woods on Sunday night instead of doing homework, though. Yeah, that's pretty much how it went down. It's quite a tearjerker, along with all the Hallmark commercials.

I got myself my own salt shaker, so if any of you people are at my house, just ask for me to show you my newfound talent. Or just start singing circus music.

Tonight, I have to start my model for Play Productions. That is my semester test for that class, which is 15% percent of my grade, so I think you'll be hearing a lot about the evil thing. Maybe I'll create a slideshow of pictures of the thing from start to finish...

Countdown to my birthday: 14 days
Number of presents for Melanie under the Jon tree: 0

Well, I can't think of anything more interesting (more or less) to say, so I'll end this day's session of pointless rambling.

I'm not listening to that...but I wish I was...

P.S. My sweater guy was wearing his striped jacket today! (Where's the freaking sweater?!?)

Today in gym, we continued my own personal torture by elaborating on our unit in the weight room. For those of you who know me, you understand that I can totally bench press 3 large men on each side of a 200 pound bar. For those of you who don't, my arms have the circumference of a pencil and my legs can be related to a chicken's. I struggled on all of the sets, especially the military thing. We didn't even put weights on it, I could barely lift the 40 lb. bar. I got the first couple (in pain, of course), but made the mistake of letting it go. Props to Blaine and Matt for lifting it for me at the very end, though. It helps when you don't have a class that stops and star- well...laughs.

In other news, I have new curtains, Zoey is no longer sick, we had our first semi-major snowfall here in XXXXX XXXXX, (and they're predicting 6-8 inches for Saturday), and I stole Richie's scarf. It's very warm, actually. It makes my neck sweat. (Rich, if you're reading this, I'm sorry). I have posted a few pictures to add visuals. This is my first time trying to post pictures, so if it doesn't work, I'll try to make it look decent.
