I've been on a writing spree. I wrote a LotR drabble about Frodo's thoughts when Bilbo first leaves Bag End, and I've completed another story of Through Jade Eyes.

Missing You
Through Jade Eyes

Either I'm having some kind of surreal dream or I just had a phone conversation with my mom where she told me the source of her lower back, hip, and knee problems, aside from arthritis, is a bunch of cysts on her spinal cord.

Yeah, I'm processing that one still...


Does anyone have any good hobbit fics for diversionary purposes? I'm using my homework but some fics would be nice too.

plase pray for my mom's health...










I guess so this entry isnt all bad news, i met and even exceeded my target distance for today's speedwork, which consisted of 5 by 2 minute pickups with 90 seconds rest in between... seems the inhaler for the exercise induced asthma is working

My mileage went up to four today!!

I'm so happy. It's finally topped 10... here's hoping it tops 15 this week. I need to become optimistic... I've come a long way since being stuck in that brace I'm wearing in that piccy below.... let's hope I never have to walk around in one of those things again! That was a royal pain on so many levels.

Also, horoscope says "You're in for a big day today, even though you don't know it yet. Get ready for a lot of excitement!"

My horoscopes have been creepily accurate on facebook lately... it'd be really great if this was as well!

Speaking of images... I see authors get piccies on ff.n now... so the one Britt and I share now has one.



Edit: I was just jolted with the reminder that my mom is not the only one with a computer IQ of 0... some guy just asked how to get on Google.

Me: google.com
Him: Really? That's it?
Me: Yeah...

Yeah, so Miss Xenia Foxtrot officially NEEDS to wear a crash helmet among her gear! Sheesh, first she's knocked unconscious in a bar fight, and now we left off with her out cold as the result of the combined weight of Shamshir and Jarmir falling on her whilst she tried to lock the chamber door and thus trap Jarmir... Oy flipping vey. But dude! Folco's friends smoke WAY too much pipeweed!

#1:"Yo man I think its the pointy-eared dude!"
#2:"The DUDE dude?"
#1: No, the dude DUDE!
Xenia: OMG...WTF?

News on the track front: STEPH GOT THE SCHOOL RECORD! Yep, she blew away the previous 400m hurdle one... yay Steph! This would be the article on my dear Stephie... Oh, and at the Penn relays, Dana broke her own 5k record....

I wish that college had racewalking... I have no chance at the running records, I'm far too slow! It's racewalking I'm truly good at. I could have done the 5k in Penn if it weren't for the fact that one must qualify, kind of impossible when one can't race the event...

Anyways...

As for my own race.... well...*sheepish laugh* I was on course for a PR... but... then it happened.

I'm so mad! Basically, I was on the ass of some Vermont girl in the last lap (she got a 5:20, which is my PR) and I kicked in after crossing the line for the third time. One stride, two, three, four... gah!

Basically, one second I was jetting it around the corner, next I was tumbling head-over-heels in the infield. What must hjave happened was that I landed with my left foot on the edge of that friggin metal thing that sticks up on the very inside of the actual track, and because I'm a supinator, my left foot turned out to the left.... and operated as a lever to catapult me off of the track into the infield. Thankfully, that was grass! Seriously... from "I'm getting you, Vermont!" to "Mygosh, what the fuck am I doing on the ground?" I got up to try and recover lost territory, but the effort was bootless. I finished... with a 5:26. DAMMIT! I would have added a couple of seconds to the time with the little tumble, plus the fact that having had the breath knocked out of me, there wasno way I could produce my usual final sprint! So, yeah... not cool. Grrr.

Even better, I seem to have somehow wrenched my right calves with the fall.. they're so tight and sore and painful I'm actually walking with a limp! I was able to run, but they hurt. I'm worried... not saying a word in coach, because I do NOT want to be pulled from the conference roster on account of this! Not after all the work I've put in, so sorry Charley! I fully intend to be on the Maryland bus with the team.

I also found anew fanfic site that looks rather cool. I'm excited!

I decided to brave the HP section on fanfiction.net, in an effort to see that people read my profile and join Hogwarts 2020-2021. I think my IQ dropped about 100 points. *sigh* I missed the old days, in 2000...
