Wow, I've had a tough day

I woke up today like it was any other day. I went upstairs, got ready for my day, did some homework, and then I went out to my car to go to class. Something was wrong though. I moved to unlock my passenger's side door, to put my stuff in, and realized that there was no "click". Immediately, my heart started beating. I opened the door, and everything that had been on the passenger's floor, was on the passenger's seat. Everything, that is, except for my dear Cannon EOS Rebel SLR camera. I looked through my car, and it wasn't anywhere. Not only was the camera gone, but the whole bag, with all of my rolls of film, including two undeveloped, my round d6s, a notebook, and my lens cleaner...just...gone. I started panicking. Someone had not only gotten into my car, but they had stolen from me. I decide(perhaps irrationally) that I need to calm down. I decide to try to drive to school. I didn't make it, I was panicking to hard. I drive back to Tom's house, and look down. My GPS charger, which I always have plugged into the Cigarette holder, was unplugged. I panicked, and opened the center console, and sure enough...my GPS was gone too. I find the GPS charger, sitting on the passenger's seat, but the GPS was taken out of it's custom sleeve. I get to Tom's house, and I check throughout my whole car for anything else that was missing. Everything was still there, though all the bags in my art bag were unzipped.

I went up to Tom's, and he's still at school (i knew he would be). I started crying to Rod, who found me the phone book, and I called the police department. I called Tom, and he came home right away. The police department would call me back (they didn't). Apparently I'm not the first to get hit, and I found out later that I wasn't even the only one that got hit recently. I'm trying to stay calm, but it's hard when my heart keeps screaming. I know that it was only stuff, and I'm not really sad about the GPS, but not only to I feel violated, but that camera meant a lot to me. It was my grandma's. Plus, I love taking pictures (I didn't use the SLR too often, because of the film) and now I have lost my quality photos. I know I will probably never see it again, which caused me to look for a replacement. I will not personally be replacing it anytime soon, it's a bit out of my price range, which makes my heart hurt more. I know this sounds really materialistic of me, but taking pictures is about capturing a moment to me, and it feels like I won't be able to capture moments without it.

But yeah...that was my day.

The Zero Theory

I shouldn't have gotten very good sleep last night. I was sleeping in a bed that wasn't mine, there was a dog that barked at raccoons outside the window sleeping on the bed, and two cats constantly fighting. I should have slept like crap, and I was in fact aware of all that was going on when there was a sudden noise, but I slept fine. I woke up feeling fine, I even got up and did all of my chores.

So, how did I do it?

I just...kind of went to "0". My entire body didn't move, all my muscles stayed relaxed, I kept my breathing at a sleeping pace, and I made my brain go dead. This is how I often get myself to sleep. The difference? Whenever the dog barked, or the cats fight, I would let my brain wake up and ask "What was that?" and I would answer, but I wouldn't move anything. I kept the rest of my body completely relaxed, not moving, and I didn't let my brain do anything that would require effort. I woke up over 12 hours ago, with not very good sleep, and I'm only just getting tired. I'm hoping I can do this again, because if I can, I might be able to get a whole lot more sleep.

Ah the joys of not Blogging

So, yesterday (yesterday being Saturday) I had an insane urge that I had to blog. I felt like "Okay, I updated my blog, I decided to come back, and now I actually have to blog!" and then I sat at my computer, and couldn't think of anything to type. I don't just mean "Well, I could write about this but I don't want to" I mean serious, pain in the ass, writer's block kind of "don't know what to type."

And then, I had a realization. This blog is for me, it is for my purposes, if I don't want to blog, then to hell with it, I won't. It certainly makes my life less stressful. This is my place to talk about what I want, to figure stuff out about me, the world, anything. If there is a day where I don't want to figure anything out, then there will be days where I don't want to figure anything out...and that's just fine with me.

Day...ah...who cares...

It has been over a month since my last post. I know. It has taken me this long to be able to talk about it. Honestly, I was a bit embarrassed that I failed my mission. I made it over a hundred days though, and I think that's honorable. Besides, it was a bit insane for me to try to post every day for two years. I'm glad I'm finally post this though. I really wanted to come back to blogging, but I really didn't want to admit defeat. I didn't want to admit that I just couldn't do it...but I couldn't. I shouldn't have held myself to such a high standard.

So, I will be transforming this blog. A complete make-over, and perhaps a renaming (the address will stay the same, just the name change, if I can).

So, here is the edit. I really like it. You may be wondering "...DragonFruit?"

Yeah, it's something I'm trying out. A close friend of mine (and reader of this blog) has a...I guess you could call it a pseudonym in the pagan community. Most do...and while I believe I have found my goddess, Nike goddess of Victory, but I have not found my...my name. Dragon Fruit is one of my favorite fruits. For those who don't know, this is a dragon fruit:



It's just such a colorful and exotic fruit. It looks like something you just want to eat for hours. You sit down with it, and enjoy it. Sadly, I've never actually tasted one, but I plan to rectify that as soon as possible.

So, about Nike. Yes, it is pronounced the same was as the shoe company, in fact, that is why the shoe company is named Nike. She is known as the winged goddess of victory, and is the daughter of Pallas and Styx, and is the sister of Kratos, Bia, and Zelus. Most of you actually know her. Here is a statue of her



Yeah, that's Nike. Pretty cool huh? I think she fits me pretty well. I don't know about DragonFruit or Nike 100% yet. I hope I will know soon.

Day 107 and I've got a wedding to go to!

Tomorrow, I will be getting up really early so that I can go to the airport. I will be flying to Minnesota. My Aunt is getting married, and I've been invited to go. It should be fun, and after the wedding I get to go to visit a different aunt and my cousins who I haven't seen in years. It will be a really exciting trip. I'm not sure if I will have internet or not though, so you know what that means! It means if I don't, I'll post one every day with my MIND POWERS!

No, I wish I had mind powers though...

I have found another site for you guys to check out though. The name is "The Customer's Not Always Right" (notalwaysright.com)

I have one for you guys right now (thank you, Not Always Right)'

The CDs Are Full But The Mind Is Blank
Tech Support | Durham, NC, USA

Me: “Alright sir, I looked at your computer and it looks like you need to reinstall your office software before we can proceed.”

Customer: “Oh, okay.”

Me: “Can you show me where your software installation CDs are?”

Customer: “My what?”

Me: “The CDs that your office software came on when you first bought them.”

Customer: “Oh, I threw those out.”

Me: “Why? Was there something wrong with them?”

Customer: “No, of course not. I installed the software and then threw out the empty discs.”

Day 106 and mmm...

Hey everyone, it's me again, technically posting on august 18. I'm actually posting on August 17th I swear.

Today, Tom and I have been dating for a whole year. It's amazing. I can't believe it's been a year, and at the same time, it seems that a year is way to short of time. I feel like I'm in love. Hehe, I know, I am. I had a great day. We went out and ran some chores, got Tom to transfer schools, paid something off, took the garbage down...wonderful. And then we went out to dinner and I fell in love all over again. To really celebrate though we went into the kitchen and made lava cakes...you know, those cakes that was baked on the outside, and all runny and unbaked on the inside? It was in celebration of the fact that the night he asked me out, we had made brownies...in a circular pan, hehe. I'm sorry, I'm getting all mushy and romantic on the blog, and that's not what this blog is for, hee.

...wait...what is this blog for again...?

Eh, I'll figure it out later.

Day 104 and 105

I'm getting into a really bad habit of not posting on this blog. This is becoming a problem. I didn't do a whole lot the last two days though. I think the most interesting things that happened were I threw up, and I took Tom to the dentist. Really, that's it. To make it up to you, though, I have two very awesome videos.

First, we have a large game of Operation, made with Dominoes


And this one, awesome paper pop-ups!
