Oh man. Great times these past few weekends:

• Canada with Roblobster. MUCH LAUGHS.
• Returned Sunday and then spent the next few days toiling away at math homework.
• Tuesday night there was a "gas leak" that turned out to be just a durian fruit that someone had thrown in the garbage. It WREAKED.
• Wednesday night I spent the night at Claus-Boss's house and left Thursday morning for Idaho on our quest to the US World Trials
• Myself, Roblobster, and Claus-boss judged the speed portion of Trials, along with our Californian friend KM. It was weird being the one clicking the jumper and not being the jumper! I felt like I should be warming up while they were setting up the tournament haha. We all looked so official in our white polos and blue slacks ;)
• The tournament itself though, was a total shit show. Team USA will be an embarrassment at Worlds this year. After all of the political crap that went down in Africa, none of the older jumpers are doing it this year. So that means young, inexperienced people try out and arbitrarily make it because all of the better people aren't there. The routines were HORRID. I could have gone onto the floor in my judging clothes and thrown together an improv routine that would've looked better. Man.
• I had another epiphany moment while I was sitting on the floor of the practice room. I looked up from my homework, with "Imagine" playing in my earbuds, and realized that I was in the best place in the world at that very moment. Surrounded by jump rope, music, friends, and happiness. It just made me smile.

And now I'm back to the real world. But for the first time in a long time, I feel OK about it! I know everything will happen if I keep my head up and keep opening up to people.

I'm doing the hall talent show next week! Possibly going to Long Beach to visit KM. Very possible trip back to Canada with Roblobster and Claus-boss. Trip to Texas first weekend of March. Possible trip to Michigan mid-March. NATIONALS. CAMP. JRope / gymnastics Camp. EUROPE TOUR. FRIENDS. MUSIC. LAUGHING. Oooh man. Stupid happy Muffy is back...

over and out.

Oh, and, here's my preliminary tattoo idea:

It's the best thing I could come up with that symbolically translates "one of a kind"...which is what I want it to represent. Because nobody else is quite like me :) The symbol in the middle is the Chinese formal letter for "one," and coincidentally it also means "togetherness." So "one world" is kind of an accidental, dual meaning. Anyways...

Peppy peppy.

Thanks for the thought.
I'm fine. :P

"reeked"?

Maybe mixed up with "wreak" as in, "wreak havoc"?

Holy cow-you're going to be traveling all over the place.

Re: When it comes to death or similar subjects, I'm just as afraid when I try to say something. Don't worry.

By the way, you're getting a tattoo then? I have one planned for this summer and I'm thinking of one I'd also like.

Yeah.
Seems healthy.

RE:
And I remember trying to keep that up all through autumn...not such an awesome idea. Being a kid in general rocked.

Gas leak...durian fruit...same thing. The tattoo idea sounds close enough to wordplay that I got a little intellectual high from it. Aaahhh...

I know right. I magically became white and blonde. It's a miracle.
