July 2010
this summer, I learned that
I like classical music
Pen and paper RPGs are impossible
I want another cat
Writing short stories is really difficult
I know a lot about medieval weaponry
Texting is really stupid
The gun that my mother used to carry in her purse is the same one that the Navy Seals used in the Deadliest Warrior season finale for the mid-range weapon
Poetry can be cool sometimes
Han Solo is a sexy man
I...

I finished the Song of Ice and Fire series the other day. That is, I’ve read all the books that are currently out. Now I get to wait with all the other long-time fans for A Dance With Dragons.
yaaay.
But these books were just incredible. It’s going to be hard to go back to The Wheel of Time Series (seven books to go!) after reading such brutal medieval fantasy where main characters...

is it the future yet?
‘Cause I wanna be a space marine already.

So, today I went to my Filipino stick-fighting class. (how’s that for an intro)
I love these classes, because I feel like I actually learn practical things. I did a few years of Tae Kwon Do, learned how to kick high and flashy, got flexible and in shape and all that, but I still prefer Arnis over it. We learn how to use weapons — which, honestly, in a real fight, you’re going to...

In the game Fallout 3 (more specifically — Miner’s Rest in the Point Lookout DLC), you come across a small boy, Kenny, in an abandoned mine. By the time you actually meet him, you’ve traveled through this spooky underground area with traps and flashing lights and strange voices. I’m a bit of a wuss, so I hate going through it.
He tells you a little bit about himself. He...

Three physical things you like about yourself:

Three of your everyday essentials: 1. My phone — not...
1 tag
So, uh, yeah.
I don’t know about you guys, but I feel like I haven’t been making enough sappy posts that totally display my innermost thoughts and stuff for all to see.
I’ll get right on it, though, don’t worry.
Look around -- we're living in the lost and found
NYLF ended yesterday. But before the speeches and teary goodbyes, I had to drag a suitase about half my weight down the stairs — from the ninth floor to the second.
Stupid thing to do, I know. But there was a big group of us in the dorms waiting for the elevator, and waiting for one would have taken way too long. My roommate and I waited about 20-30 minutes. One girl had been waiting for...
Anyone tells you you can’t be a doctor?Take that piece of hate and put it...
