You shall love your crooked neighbour with your crooked heart

I hate my Spanish class.



This is mostly because of the fact that I'm in the room with a bunch of dumbasses who have yet to recognize that the "h" is silent, even after several (pointless) years of study. It's not "Kay tay guhsta hahsair." Ugh ugh ugh. *Beats palm against forehead*



But I guess it's mostly my fault. Really, what else could I expect, signing up for Spanish 1.5? (They call it 1-0, but it's basically just 1.5. Just go with it.) I guess I was ready for… Continue

So today it rained. It rained a whole freaking lot. Almost the entire day was nonstop drizzle. Frankly, this pleased me immensely - mostly because softball practice was sure to be cancelled, and after 12+ full hours of practice in 4 days, I was and am a little burned out. And there was also the fact that I just like the rain itself, and the mood it puts me in. Which is even more lazy than I usually am - and that's almost humanly impossible.



But practice was not… Continue

I'm fully aware of the span of time with no blogging. And I think the primary reason is that I don't have a whole lot to blog about. Dunno...but maybe the interesting bits of my life are lacking. Just a theory.



So today was the first day of tryouts for high school softball. Three hours of it, though I can't really complain, because it really wasn't that bad. Sometimes I find myself exaggerating the intensity, probably because (shame) my endurance is kind of a joke. Anyway. Looks… Continue

Punish me if you will, my mysterious blog-stalkers (haha). It appears that I'm about four days late on my blog updating.



In my defense, I've been incredibly busy. By busy, I mean busy softball-ing. All week. And all this weekend. Major tournament. Which is going rather well. We play in the championship tomorrow, and I'll be playing first base. I also hit a double to left today. *Happy dance*



Recently I received a "critique" on the first chapter of my book (which is posted… Continue

It was with regret this morning that I realized I had forgotten to blog yesterday. But I'm only a day late, so it's not too bad.



Yesterday I took a private golf lesson with my brother. The instructor, whose name was Steve, was really quite nice, even though he seemed to laugh too much. We did some cool things like filming our swings on different angles and comparing them to the swings of the pros. It pleased me to have Annika Sorenstam and me on the same screen. Very cool. We're… Continue

So here's the deal - I'm going to do an entry every Tuesday. Easy enough, yeah? I sure hope so.



Last night we went out and got me a new 3 wood, new bag, and new glove to equip me better for this summer (and thereby for high school golf next spring). To say the least, I'm super excited. Weird how new equipment can improve your attitude on the course ; ) Today I went to the range and hit a bucket. It was pretty nice.



Many people have expressed to me very clearly how much… Continue

This is interesting, because I've never really blogged before. I'm really not very good at it, I suppose. (1) Too many random tangents for anyone to understand what I'm actually trying to say, and (2) my nature to completely forget about any sort of daily journal, diary (not my favorite word), et cetera for a lengthy span of time - at which point it becomes useless to try to catch up on anything. This will be my experiment :)



So...right now I'm working on the first draft of my...(I… Continue
