Thrashing hands and knees

I know! Crazy isn't it?! It's only been like a week instead of a month! This is just like my journal-writing habits. Only if something awesome happens do I write in it often.

But, alas, nothing really exciting happened. . .except I've become addicted to rock climbing. I blame my tallest (Christoph). he invited me to go rock climbing with the club last week and I loved it. I thrashed my fingers and knees kinda bad that time, and I did again this week. Strangely enough, its only my left hand that gets scraped, and my left knee. I must switch to using those more than my other side when I'm scaling a rock face. But, I love it. It's lots of fun.

Yesterday I did this climb called Missie's Playhouse. It was pretty fun, but then I got to the hard part where you have to try to get your body onto a ledge using practically nothing. I tried twice then decided to stop as it was getting dark. But, it was pretty fun.

So, yeah, I found a new hobby and its lots of fun. I just wish I had money so I could get my own equipment, mainly shoes and caribeners. but a nice long some-odd feet of rope would be cool too.

yeah, that's all. I like rock climbing now. I might do narrows again this saturday. My only crux is that I suddenly have a ton of homework that all needs to be done by next week. the majority being monday and tuesday. soooo, who knows what I'll do. I really want to go. Like really super uper duper bad. I love the narrows. . . .

Toodles!

Reading and writing but. . . .

It's all homework, dash it all! I want to write, but I'm sick of the computer. I want to read, but I'm sick of reading. I want to go outside and take a nice long walk but I've been practically everywhere and there's really no place I'm interested in going to. I would love to get a library card and check out some books for the library but I have some obstacles in my way:

1) I'm reading a book right now, with another book series I'm going to read when I finish it, and another one after that. (for those interested: The Dalemark Quartet, The Looking-glass Wars, and The Hunger Games)

B. As mentioned above, I'm working through homework. Nothing serious but it's just a bunch of busy work. Alot of textbook reading and 1 page report writing.

III. I have no time to read.

So, that's my current predicament. I'd really like to write. That would be nice. I do want to finish editing/revising by my birthday next year so I can start trying to submit it to editors and whatnot. Man, I'm more interested in doing that than trying to get into grad school! But, I have no money to get into grad school, so while I'm working and saving money I might as well try to accomplish my dream right?

Anywho, I've become a whiner this semester so I'm going to stop now. I had oyakodon with horensou in it. It was very tasty. I love washoku. I'm feeling very full right now, but when that goes away I think I'll have some ice cream. I bought brownie mix today but I'm too full to make that. Methinks I'll make it tomorrow.

Last week I went rock climbing. SOOOOO fun! Except that I tore a chunk of skin out of my middle finger and it hurts something fierce! I'm going rock climbing again tomorrow. I'm excited!

But, er, yeah. FLAP THE PICKLES TO THE HIPPO'S EARS AND THE PORCUPINE WILL DO A DISCO!!!

Relief

So, remember a couple postings back (or was it the most recent one? *shrugs*) I was freaking out about a girl in my group for biology. Well, she decided that seeing if big cats will react to a dog whistle wasn't cool enough for her so she decided to go off and do her own thing.

Which I was glad about. I think our current project is alright, in fact I think it is a brilliant idea. I mean we can only do so much with the animals being undergrad college students. It's not like we can get into their pens to take a blood sample. Goodness, she knows science so well that she's forgotten the basics. What is the first thing you learn about the scientific method? How do you even come up with a hypothesis?

Ask a question.

So, before I bore you all with that speel again, I will stop now. But let it be known that my friend and I (she was the one who came up with the whole idea in the first place) will be hanging around the San Diego Zoo, blowing dog whistles at cougars and leopards. I'm looking forward to it. I seriously want to know if they'll react at all.

So, yeah, I just felt like throwing that out there. And another thing to keep me happy: How to Train Your Dragon comes out in about a month!!! Happiness!!!!

Happiness is. . . .

Actually flying on a pig. Not that I've ever done it before, which is why I think I could also be 10X's more happy.

And I really do wish I had a tail. A dog's tail like Katie's (family dog) because her's is thick and strong and knocks over people and appliances when she is uber happy. I say that because smiling and skipping just doesn't quite show how happy I am.

So, I wish I had a tail so I could knock things over. Then people would see that and think "Whoa, that girl is really happy. She just knocked over the projector AND the teacher at once!" Wouldn't that be awesome?

Yeah, I could do with a pig about now. I found myself in a group about to embark on a semester-long research project in my animal behavior class. One girl gets stressed really easily and so that stresses me out when I have no reason to be stressed, and the other girl seems to want to make things more complicated than they have to be. Seriously, it's called testing a hypothesis not proving. Science is all about testing, and even if your hypothesis turns out to be right, you test it again just to make sure. And then you can repeat other people's experiments. Seriously, if you have a question you can test it!

Yes, that is a complaint speel brought to you by Jekka G. Senoj. It makes me grit my teeth. Then again, I'm seriously hoping that she's not right about all this because that would suck. *deep breaths* she's a child of God, she's a child of God.

Have you noticed that those creepy chinese character-leaving people have disappeared? yep, I filtered them out! It was the only way to get rid of them. I will not support porn on my blog or any link to it! I have my standards and I'm sticking to them! With or without super glue!

So. Moral of the story: Pig+water+tail=happiness.

Bingo

Bingo: A game played in the car involving shouting "Bingo!" whenever a yellow car is spotted.

Rules:

• Construction vehicles, buses, boats, and jet skis are not Bingo
• Semi's count as long as the cab is yellow. If the cab is not yellow then it is not Bingo
• If two people shout out Bingo at the same time then they must spell it out. The first person to spell it wins the point
• If both spell it at the same time, twice in a row then rock-paper-scissors breaks the tie

Now, I bring this up because there are a ton of Bingos around SUU. I mean a TON! Not two thousand pounds but two hundred Bingos. There's four in my apartment complex parking lot, two I see all the time in the school parking lot, and one sitting down a street I pass everyday. Not to mention a yellow bug that zips around campus.

It's a dream come true. I just wish I had someone to fight it over with. That would be nice.

Well. . .er. . .that's all. I have a ton of homework but none of it is due immediatly so there really isn't no point in doing it right now. It's not procrastination because a lot of it isn't due til either two weeks from now or at the end of the semester. Really. I have 16 credits but quite a lot of time on my hands.

That might change though when I start having exams and stuff. Then it'll be a lot of studying. But, I'm not complaining. yeah, I can keep writing, but I've been on the computer so long that I'm sick of it. And I've been reading so much so I don't feel like reading. I could draw but I'm not a good drawer, but at least its relaxing.

Its times like these I can use a good hike or two. *sigh*
