my father just called my cell phone

  • “Do you remember riding around in a red van with me ‘looking for monsters’ when you were little? Well, the reason we used to go monster hunting was because we basically had nothing to do ever and you really liked monster and we had no money to do much else.”

Today was the first day of spring track and I am so surprised by my endurance after having gained 20 pounds (literally, I’ve been compulsively eating) since last season. Getting butterflies before the boot camp drills was really hard for me, but I loved every minute of it whilst I was actually completing the drills. I am awfully proud of myself for not stopping even when I almost threw up. It’s also the first day of my diet, which sounds bad but not really because I am not doing it for anything other than medical reasons (I have been having trouble breathing and my severe stomachaches appear to be taking up permanent residence in my day to day tasks), unlike every other time I started diets. I haven’t blogged in so long and this is probably not the best topic to start back on, but I promised myself that I would blog at least four times a week. There is a writing contest at my school that I plan on entering but then again, it’s mandatory that everyone enters. My strong suit is creative writing and maybe actually doing this assignment is not a good idea because its an expository essay pertaining to Pearl Harbor, but I’m ready to give it a shot. In other news, my sister has moved back into my house. Which is great news because she’s pretty cool. However, there is a sudden increase in drama and tension that strikes in step she takes. I don’t mind that much because I do love her but sometimes it’s hard, you know? I guess that’s just life.
