I feel bad for not blogging more often, but really I've been so busy that I haven't had much time to think! And I prefer for my blog posts to be coherent and concise, which requires thinking. But my friends have been pressuring me to update my blog, and they don't care what it's about just as long as it's something new. So I guess I'll post what I've been up to!



Like I said earlier, school and music has been keeping me rather busy. I just remembered that I still have to take that Physics test...I think Physics class was invented by Satan to torment us high schoolers. I've been arranging my own version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow on the harp though, and it's quite pretty if I may say so myself! Playing it makes me feel so at peace. Speaking of at peace, listen to Hayley Westenra's "Dark Waltz" sometime. I got Ashlea to listen to that song, and then she went and bought the cd.

I also read my first manga--Fruits Basket. I'm hooked! my sister and I have been walking to the library almost every day to check out the next couple of volumes! Actually, usually I'd just make her go, but last time she made me come with her. I think tomorrow she's going to make me go by myself, because I complained the whole time. I know it sounds dorky, getting hooked on a manga, but it's hilarious! I've never laughed so much over a book. Just thinking about it makes me crack up! I'll be bringing a couple to the all-night youth activity this Friday so that maybe they'll help me stay awake! Not like I've ever fallen asleep during a lock-in, but there's a first time for everything.

Been reading a lot of Tolkien too. I'm currently reading about the poor Farmer Giles of Ham. Children of Hurin is still my favorite Tolkien story, tragic as it may be.

I can't wait until NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). I already know what I'm going to write about--it's going to be a fantasy novel, of course! This time I get to indulge in my love of mythology and create my own.

Oh yes! And now we have more channels on our TV! Which means we have FOX news now, which means I can watch Glenn Beck right when he comes on. It's a novel experience...
