(no subject)
Feel free to ignore this post :)
This is basically me trying to make sure I know how to post with LJ’s new rich text editor (I failed at writing on vacation... but I did manage to almost finish the next instalment of YSIM/ITE at 8,000+ words), and to be a dweeb and ramble about my (mis)adventures in RL.
So! I spent a lot of time relaxing before uni starts up again (fourth year undergrad - OMG where’d the years go?!) and getting back into the swing of things after the rollercoaster that was this last year. Between the stress, GAD and depression, and my dad’s heart attack, things have been up and down. But I’m seeing the light, so to say, and I’m actually excited to go out and experience life.
In my last post I mentioned getting a tan. Well I burned like whoa (on a jet boat going up the Rogue River) and came out of it slightly less ghost-esque. I also used a little Sun-In hair lightener and ended up a blonde. LOL. I had black hair with every colour (whole rainbow, no shit) chunks, usually blue though, for about six-seven years - my friends think I’m having an early mid-life crisis.
Yes, I’m holding a Goku stuffie. He was my hero (well... Gohan, too) for many, many years, and the reason I started at Taekwon-do. I quit TKD in October of last year, one month from testing for my third degree black belt, because of anxiety/depression related issues. TKD has been a steady in my life, something that I have been very passionate about for a very long time, and to have stopped going really opened my eyes to how much my GAD, etc. was affecting my everyday life.
I attempted to go back in May, but two days later my dad had a heart attack. After many months I finally went back - that was tonight. Taekwon-do is my reprieve, it’s where I get to go to work my butt off and have fun. Hopefully I’ll be able to lift my leg this high again someday soon lol:
... I also discovered that I am a terrible aim at golf. I hit a tiny piece of wood two feet in front of me at a driving range and my ball rebounded back. Straight into my knee.
I find it terribly amusing that the next day a bald faced hornet stung my other knee. The swelling on either side was quite complementary :P Okay. I’m done. Haha sorry to clog up anybody’s friends page with my blubbering :/ I just like to talk. And use pictures. I should be stopped.
P.S. there will be fic soon. I just need to polish it off, etc. :D
