Holy crap, that was an ordeal. Kinda helped that I started out with something general and then got around to what I was meaning to get at. Funny thing was, despite hesitating for a good 5 minutes before jumping into the last couple lines and then analyzing them repeatedly after I was done, the actual writing was easy, casual, and I think it came off alright. The best part was that, while I was writing at least, I had this feeling that everything was going my way. For the first time I kinda had hope that maybe I wasn't being completely retarded or out of line. Granted, that feeling has since faded, and I guess we'll see how it goes from here, but I'm still clutching at that small, slippery tendril of hope. I'm just ready to let go if I need to. So basically I'm at peace with this whole thing now, I think. I guess we'll just see how it goes.

Tried writing and completely failed. I kinda wanna do a little short story ditty, no more than a few pages, just to get myself in the mood. Might actually try that before I go to sleep tonight.

Busy day. Ran a race in the morning. There were six people in it total, and only one guy could hang with me, and that was just for the first mile. The race sucked, it was really hilly, and the whole thing was one pavement, which just beat the hell out of my feet. But I won and got a sweatshirt out of it. Even better were a pair of sunglasses, which I later found out were both very nice and very expensive, so I got $100 out of the deal - very nice considering I wasn't trying to make any money and the state of my finances as the holiday game wave approaches.

Made even more money mowing the lawn and doing other stuff, chores, mostly. Busy day. Even did some AP Calc stuff - extremely easy. I even got some volunteering hours in at the hospital, which sucked, but I've gotta get 'em done if I wanna be in NHS next year, so I really don't have any choice.

Played a bunch of Gears, too - finished the tail end of Act 2 and got through all of Act 3 except for the very last fight. That one's always been hard for me, whether I go with the slow torque bow sniping run, or jump in with shotties and the lancer. I've gotten so close only to get my face bashed in by one of the last guards twice now. Very frustrating, but I stopped so that I could write, and then that never happened.

Well, I got that big load off of my plate now, which is nice. I'll see how it goes from there.
