Random Stuff

Well, lets see. First of all, yesterday I accidentally dropped my (student model) violin and the fingerboard broke off. It was a clean break, and my dad was able to fix it, and I have a violin that is about ten times better sounding and, well, I dunno. It feels easier to play.

Another thing. I am a freshman in high school, but I am in the Syphonic Orchestra (advanced) and I am assistant principal second violinist. Out of about 26ish violins, I was the sixth best. I was not expecting that, but hey, I'll take it.

Anywho, I just went to an introductory class for archery. I have my own bow, 25 lbs at full draw, but my arms are too short (*sobs*) for that so I only draw about 20 pounds, give or take a little. The introductory class was a lot of fun, but unfortunately, my infusion site for my insulin pump decided to go bad sometime between when I woke up and when I went to the class, so my blood sugar was about 500 or so the entire time, which affected my vision just enough to the point where I could not aim as well as I would be able to normally. I did hit the bullseye once, though. Pretty good for a newbie, I guess. heh. yeah. We were also using 15 lb bows, which means I was drawing, with my arm length, around 12 lbs. Bleh. Oh well.

Anyway, if I was not shooting sharp pointy objects at a colored circle or trying to bring my blood sugar down, I was playing Dance Dance Revolution all day. Fun, but now my legs hurt.

Anyway, I need to change my infusion site and my hands don't want to type anymore. They have minds of their own, I guess.

Brrrr...

Today in school was ok, but that place was COLD!!! I was freezing the entire day, except for German class, which, for some reason, was warmer. I wish that FCPS would relinquish A/C / Heat control over to the individual schools, so that if enough students complained, the admins could move the thermostat up a few degrees.

First post!

Hi. I don't really know how to start this thing off, so if you don't like how I write this, go away.

Today was OK. Nothing much happened, except starting this blog, so I might as well talk about me in general. I have type 1 diabetes, asthma, bad allergies (just not to any foods, thank goodness), allergies that could possibly be fatal to Codiene and Bactrim, and it drives me all crazy. *shrugs* I'm used to being crazy.

Hobbies: Drawing, violin playing (and yes, I am one of the few high schoolers in the world to practice everyday, or at least it seems that way...), writing, web surfing, Neopets, Dance Dance Revolution (if I could get my wireless dance pad to WORK, at least... grrr.... and of course, customer service has not returned our calls), annoying Windoze users with my "Macs are better!" speech, listening to classical music, attempting to make stop-motion animation movies, and other stuff that I would write if I could think of it.

A lot of people, in their blogs (of what I have seen, which is not much) put things like Listening to... and Mood: and stuff like that. Right now, I am listening to absolutely nothing in particular. Mood: Tired. Whatever. Bleh. Etc.

Anywho, I guess I don't have much else to say...

Except that there should be a place to put your time zone so that I don't have to move this little clock on the Posting page forward three hours every time...

*bangs head on wall*

Ok, maybe I should look around before posting anything else about the setup here...sorry! There was a place to put time zone. I just had to poke around to find it. Anywho, yeah. Bye.
