Today was a fairly active day, but at the same time it went so quickly because I am so tired. Cram. A four letter word. As a verb: to smash vigorously into my mind. I have a lot to do, and what it requires to get done is a weekend's worth of time.

I "need" some summer clothes
I want to investigate a JC salsa dancing class
I want information on a car CD player, possibly new rugs, and definitely new seat covers
I really want a day to do things with Liz . . . even better, an afternoon and evening.
Instead of rugs in the car, I have considered buying mats. I think I would like the portability, the durability, and the simplicity to clean mats more than that of rugs. The last step is investigating the difference in prices.

My English teacher, Mr. Sumner, who is probably one of the better English teachers, if only someone would listen to him without interrupting him, asked me today, "Are you a blogger?" I really didn't know how to respond, so I asked him what exactly he meant by, "blogger." He's extremely talented with words, probably the most talented out of everyone I know, except for perhaps my mother, whom I call I walking dictionary. Anyway, Mr. Sumner is a great guy, we had a nice talk, and for everyone's curiosity, a blogger is a person who writes an online journal in attempt to spur political attention.
I do not consider myself a blogger, but I am a journalist, and my life is the story of a palimpsest.

Tomorrow night is going to be a ton of fun. Too bad it's going to be one of the most vigorous track workouts for me of the entire season. I want to break 5:20 by the end of this year, and I'm very goal oriented, so I intend on training for the next three meets very hard. I think I can achieve it pretty easily, so long as I continue to stress myself at practice.

My life is full of stress lately. But it's also so good, I really don't know how to explain it. Maybe ecstatic bewilderment? Good fun.

I calculated what a 25 hour a week summer job at Fiesta would get me . . . roughly $2,300. With the church job, and Chris Gray's job, I figure by the end of summer I would have roughly $2800, which would get reduced to about $2100 after my spending money on dates, car stuff, dragons, etceteras etceteras etceteras. If I worked at the Bohemian, I would get roughly $1500 in just two and a half weeks. I might consider it, even though it's such a long drive. I think I will go to the interviews, work hard for those two weeks, and make my summer income more substantial.

I won a few matches against a guild on battle.net called [iGL]. They call themselves the "international gaming league." I stomped them pretty hard. Doubling and tripling their scores. I better not get cocky.

--Later-- I just tried taking a nap. but I couldn't sleep because my mom was making lots of kitchen noises and then later went to watch T.V., and that kept me up too. It was pretty unthoughtful of her to be making all that noise. Not to mention dinner has been so late recently. Dinner was at 10:00 two nights ago. 9:00 last night. 8:25 tonight. I'm not happy. I'm glad I was able to lie down and relax, but angry she kept me up.

Take care my friends.

P.S. Today is my parakeet's birthday. Happy Birthday Dazzler, you cute lil' thang.
