I spent all last night psyching myself up for today's meet. It was going to be our toughest yet, against the incredible team of Westboro, with two of our top seven runners out of the mix. Leah has a stress fracture in her foot and Kathryn had some kind of leg problem, keeping them out of the race. I was going to be needed to win this race and keep ( Read more... )

     A gloomy look cast into the war council room returned the same view: among the drab tapestries of heartache and hopelessness sat he, staring blindly down at the city plan of Berlin, hardly shifting in the despair that had settled like a fine dust throughout the bunker. Exactly like the same fine dust that had worried its way into the ( Read more... )

Nightning, Snaggle and Tooth, some of my favorite worldly possessions.

Band hangout earlier. We ran through Moskau, which is sounding better than ever, though Rage had some school band thing to go to so she couldn't come. Siiiigh. And we did TNT, but I kept screwing it up, despite its utter simplicity and the amount I listen to it. One thing about that song - every SINGLE time I play it, one of my strings break. The ( Read more... )

WARNING: LONG ENTRY.Ugggh. So busy. Yesterday we had a meet at Nashoba which we just barely won by a single point, almost ending our record-breaking winning streak. This is the best girls XC team at Gardner High since 1975. Back then, their all-time high was 7-1. Right now, we're 5-0, with a meet coming at on Monday against Murdock. We'll take 'em ( Read more... )

We did a sort of high-knees-and-fast-touching-feet-to-ground-so-they-won't-mush-out thing up Reservoir Hill 5 times two days ago. When we went downhill, we walked backwards to reduce the stress on our already fraying calfs. It was painful, and still hurt like hell yesterday, and today too, but tonight I filled my tub with ice cold water and threw ( Read more... )

Mr. Richards, my guidance counselor, called me down to his office today to tell me my class rank and talk about the future. At the moment, I'm #39 in a class of 280. WOOO! Hell, and I only ever took one Honors class. Then he asked me if I had any plans for after high school, and I nodded. He was surprised and said I was one of the few. When I told ( Read more... )

Googlism.com. I love that place. What you do is you put in your name or someone else's and it searches Google for sentence fragments containing that name. It is HILARIOUS. Just look at all the fun I had!

I'm really pissed that my state, Massachusetts, is deciding to remove legal gay marriage. They're taking down the law then submitting it to the public to vote on whether it should be allowed or not. And since I'm surrounded by self-centered, egotistical, ignorant Bible beaters, freedom is going to get shot down in flames ( Read more... )

Don't you find it completely degrading when you're out on a run in the streets and people do the wolf whistle? It's an insult, as if I'm just a piece of meat rather than a dedicated athlete. Next time someone does that...well, I'll write about what I'll do when it happens. Probably tomorrow, knowing the horny fuckers in my town ( Read more... )
