You have an animal soul! Arent you lucky! You are
very interactive with animals and can
understand them even if you dont speak their
tongue. The birds arent afraid of you, deer can
eat out of your palm, and every dog will roll
over for you. As an Animal Soul, you follow
your instinct, sometimes making rash decisions,
and not thinking properly. If you dont

can make people feel better, and are
understanding and compassionate. One of the
great things about you is that your rarely

help other people if you want to survive this
world. You are very loyal and optimistic, and
can make it through the toughest times.

| Ups, Downs, and Blood Alley. |
| 03.24.04 (10:10 pm) [edit] |
Whooo... What a track meet! it was a two-day after school meet. So.. First day. We were all excited and stuff, especailly the JV - IE, me. So the day goes on.. I get warmed up for my only event of the day, the 4 by 100 Relay (Four people each run 100 Meters.) And I was the 4th and final runner. I was excited, nervous, and amazingly energized. So here comes my #3 girl.. The hand off got competely fucked up, and I disqualified us.
I felt so horriable after that, I actually cried when I got home (first time in over a year) but not when I was at the meet. I was shitty yeah, but fully dry eyed. Go figure. Anyway.
So today, the second day of the meet. I ran the first leg of the 4X200 (4 each run 200 Meters).. I was so nervous in the blocks. But.. The gun went off.. And away we went.. My team took second in JV!! ^___^ Whoot. Going from Disqualifing my team, to getting second place.. Thats impressive for me.. Anyway.
Blood Ally is a bizarre tradition that on the last race or two, the entire team goes down to the last 100 meters of track and just screams at the top of their lungs for their respective racer. Its really fun and it honestly does make the runners go faster. Especailly on the 400 (one lap) when those girls have just been sprinting their hearts out and those last 100 M are tourtre.. Then they come to Blood Ally, with 30 or 40 screaming friends... And they get up and go. Its a really nifty thing. ^_^
Ok.. So thats the meet, in basic recap.. This coming saturday, there is an All Varisty.. And I'm going. I who am currently JV.. ^_^!! ::excited.::

| Daddy and an Epiphany |
| 03.20.04 (5:48 pm) [edit] |
Today was amazingly slow and relaxing. I loved it. ^^ After a hard week of track (and aching and swollen ankels) And read for an hour or two, then accidently took an hour nap. It was just lovely.
Just a few minutes ago, as I was getting up, out of absolutly nowhere came this thought "My dad truely does love me." I know he loves my brother before me and thats fine. I've accepted that a long time ago. But, that just hit me, and I knew it was right. He asks questions about me, if I like something or what I think about this or that... Sometimes I doubt if moms believes me even capable of thought, much less opinions.
Take, for example, this past Christmas. My dad was in town for Thanksgiving and, as he already had given Eric his gift, he decided to take me to the mall and let me pick my own gift.
He took my to a new mall in this area which had a shop which he "thought I might like". This single episode shows that he A- considered that I had probably grown different tastes since he'd last seen me. B- Activly sought to find a store suiting to those tastes.
Thats way more then Mom ever did. She does love me, I know, but shes simply thoughtless in that love. And people wonder that I dont have a good relationship with her. Anyway... That just hit me and I knew I'd want to get it down before I forget it.
I love my father, with all his many many problems and faults and quirks. I always have, and only hold his actions against him, never the way he is.

| Latin Class Musing #4: Quitting |
| 03.12.04 (7:21 pm) [edit] |
[b]Topic: [u]Easy to Quit[/u][/b]
First, let me welcome you all beack to my Latin Class Musing syndicated series! First in a hell of a long time.. Anyway.
Just to make sure we're all operating from the same page here, I am NOT talking abou quitting smoking. That is fighting an addiction, and is much much harder.
The other thing is, for people who don't read my blog often, I have joined track and am more sore then fuck.
That said, on to my rambling! :arrow:
I was sitting in my Latin class today, rubbing my very very sore thighs though my jeans, mentally grumbling about how it wasn;t worth it, all the pain and whatnot.. Then, as my leg relaxed, I felt all sorts of new muslce I hadn't had before this week.
Over this first week of track, it has been painful, slow, boring, repitious, and worth it all. And not just for the muscle tone, but for the health which I now possess, and I feel so much better. Stronger. Fittness is a good thing people.
So, after this wonderful revelation, I left my 6th hour with a slight spring in my painful step and a smile on my face. I was glad to go to track practice. Then I got there.
It wasn't a particularly hard day, it was just seemed that way to me, when every step I took sent bastard stilleto knives into my thighs and calfs. But I didn't give up. I kept on running. And running. I think I ran about 2 miles or so today. On mostly gone legs. Then got home at 6:15, when school ends at 3, after walking half a mile from where I am dropped off.
It would have been easier to quit. To just say "oh fuck it" And sit down in a bad temper. Or easier yet, to just go home with the rest of the kids. But why didn't I? Because I am commited to this track shit. I signed up to submit myself to training, conditioning, and pain to make myself a faster runner, and be a memeber of that team. When I make a commitment like that, I stick with it. I am a strong willed and detirmined bitch when I make my mind up about something.
Your sitting there going "Oh hell no! I would not put myself through all that shit just for some damn medals and sense pride." But, think of it this way. If your best friend broke their leg out on a nature hike, and you were their only hope to make contact, you would carry them, or at least help, them back to someplace comfortable. Midway, your arm starts to ache and cramp.. But you would keep going wouldn't you? Because your friend was counting on you. Same principle. My team is counting on me to be the best damn runner I can be. And I'm counting on them to be at their best. That's how teams work.
My point? It would have been so much easier to quit. To just walk away and never go back. But I kept going. I refuse to let myself give into something as pitiful as weakness. I had more to give and damnit, I gave it.
Moral of this blog? Give anything you love and enjoy all your heart. You will get so many more rewards then just half-assed. Not the least of which will be respect.

| Pain |
| 03.11.04 (7:26 pm) [edit] |
.. One word.. Yooowwch. My entire lower body, and to a much lesser extent, abs, are so sore that everytime I step, sit, stand, or even hold still, they ache. And running on them, today at track practice, was simple hell. Miserable, really. It got better as I warmed up.. but on the 1.5 mile Sonic (A run through the neighbor hood near my school) it just became misery. But at least then, for the last half hour or so, we got to work on our Relay hand offs and starting blocks (Which are fun)
..My my.. A bitch post. I havn't done this is awhile. ::snigger:: Well, It was due.

| First Day of Track |
| 03.10.04 (1:15 am) [edit] |
Well.. It was something else, I'll tell ya. First off, it was one of those stupid half-day things, so I just hung out with a good buddy of mine for the 2-something hours till Track started at 3. When it did start, the warm-ups, which I had been dreading, where actually pretty damn easy, and the girls were relativly friendly if not preciesly warm.
Okay, warmups are over and Coach Carry seperate the 80-something girls into three groups for the day. My group, the Sprinters, went on a one-and-a-half mile jog around a neighborhood near my school. It was a nice slow jog, and I hardly even got cramps ^_^ I didn't need to stop, or anything. I was all proud of my self.. Never mind the others did exactly the same thing .;; Course, they also had a week up on me (Didn't have my physcail on time. What an embarrsment that was) Annyway. So we get done with this run, for some reason called a "Sonic". And get back.. The next hour is spent with Coach.. S.. soemthing.. telling us aboutthe markings on the tracks, and getting us ready for Relays. :D Relays are fun! Then.. It got really really cold, and yeah.. Thats pretty much where it ends..
Except, while we were walking the track with Coach, his adorable daughter came running up. Coach says "She had a Kim Possible icecream bar today.. Thats why her mouth is all orange. She came running up to me and said 'Daddy, Daddy Daddy! I bit her head off!" Here Coach did a funny "yes!" gesture "Thats my girl!"
It was so funny.. At least, to me.. Well. That was today. Tomarrow is gonna be a 'hard' day.. Oh joy..

| When the Blind lead the Blind... |
| 03.08.04 (11:04 pm) [edit] |
And man, am I fucking blind! Went to the eye doctor today (And spent 2 hours waiting. Ug. Two emergancy cases came in) but when I finally got into the chair, the eye doc (Nice lady that she is) told me that my eyes had gotten substantilly worse. Two steps worse in my right eye, three in my left. That a total of -7, or about 20/[b]700[/b] Yes.. That is off the charts.
So.. yeah. I'm blinder then before. But! This time I'm getting contacts. They'll be the hard ones, that will try to staunch the steady worsening of my eyes. Yeah, I know hard ones suck, but at least it'll be something.
