So in my post yesterday I forgot to mention that I had also gone to see Jeffree Star and Brokencyde. It was pretty much awesome. There was this one band though, Blood on the Dance Floor, they were pretty weird. They had like chipmunk voices. I just couldn't get into it, but there were some people that were WAY into it. After the show I got my picture taken with Jeffree and Daniel, I wish Jacob could have been in the picture too. We went with a couple other friends who hadn't really listened to Jeffree Star before, and they really liked it too.
In other news, today I ran my mile a little faster, like 12:27. It took awhile to cross the street, so I think that is what slowed me down, otherwise it might have been under 12 minutes. I really don't care how fast I run it, I'm just glad that I am actually getting up and running in the morning. It's hard though, getting up. I get up at 7, take care of a few things, check facebook, and then start around 8. When I get back I get some water and sit down, and usually fall back asleep. So yesterday I fell asleep around 9:30 and woke up close to 11, and today I fell asleep after I ate some lunch at 12ish and woke up after 2. So I guess this makes up for staying up late and waking up early.
Recently my poor Betta Fish, Kimbo, is bloated. It just happened out of nowhere. One day he was his normal shape, and then the next he had a bulging belly. So it is recommended that you fast the fish for up to a week, and they can be fed peas to help. I have also read that you can put Epsom salt in their water, but it is unclear how much I can put in per gallon and how long I can leave him in that water before I change it again. I posted something on petfish.net with pictures and everything, but have yet to receive any replies. So if anyone who stumbles across my blog and happens to be a Betta Fish expert, I would greatly appreciate any advice you can give me. I have already lost one fish this year; I don't want to lose another.
So I think that is all I forgot to mention in my post from yesterday. I will probably come up with something later.
n just the Texas Giant and the Runaway Mine Train. I think we rode all of the rides except Superman, Batman, and Mr. Freeze. We rode the water rides a couple times and my phone almost drowned on the Roaring Rapids, the first time we rode it, Jacob and I were the only ones who got the wettest. We also took our picture taken with Pepé La Pue and Stockhorn Leghorn. Really the only ride that had me the more nervous than any other was the Titan. Jacob said it looked like I was holding on for dear life…which I was, had my head tucked with my eyes closed and my arms wrapped around the bar the whole time. It was pretty intense. I also went cave exploring with Jacob out near Austin.
Actually it was a tour, but it was still cool. We went to Inner Space Caverns, which is located right under Interstate 30, and is the most recent and one of the largest caverns on the list of Texas Caves. It felt so good underground. I was only like 70 degrees, but it was rather humid. Jacob really wanted to go on the tour that has you crawl through holes and squeeze in tight places, but I just have this fear of getting stuck and not being able to get out.
Let’s see, what else has happened. I took pictures for my best friend’s brother’s wedding. That was cool, it took forever to go through them though, there were like over 600. I really want another lens, cause I know now what I need to do better and what not. The photography book I have been reading recommends a 200 mm lens, and those can cost between $700 and $2000. But it’s all good, they turned out pretty good and I got paid, so that makes it even better.
The only thing that would make my summer better is a job, cause then I will have money to do the things I want to do, like shopping and having fun with my friends. If I don’t get one this month than I guess I will be jobless this summer, cause I will only have two months left until school starts again. I don’t care where I work; I just want a job that pays. And a trip somewhere, that would be awesome.
Recently, like just today, I have finally started my summer goal of getting up early and running in the morning. It has been like two years since I have done any kind of real running. I ran down to the end of the street and back which is about a mile, and I did it in 12 minutes. I was pretty proud of that for not having run in so long. I have a feeling my time will get better if I stick to what I am doing. I hope this will help me feel better, physically and mentally. I didn’t think I really ate enough to become a victim of the freshman fifteen, but I did, and it is somewhat depressing. I will try really hard to eat better next fall. No junk snacks, no sodas, nothing like that. Hopefully that will help reduce whatever sophomore weight gain is called. My dorm for next fall has like a mini gym in it, so hopefully that will motivate me to exercise more, cause I don’t want to walk across campus when it is getting late and all the creepers are out.
So that’s it for now, I hope to make an entrance either tomorrow or at the end of the week.
Its funny how I would really like to write a blog entry regularly, but when I log on to start writing I can't think of anything to write about. I come up with ideas randomly to write about and forget to write about it later. I suppose maybe I should just carry a little notebook with me so I can write down my ideas as I get them and post them when I get the chance. I would kind of like all my posts to have the same general topic, but I don't know what that topic should be about. My photography is on DeviantArt, I talk to my friends on FaceBook. Maybe I should just post something every day that talks about what I did that day. But that may be too much personal information. But then again, I don't know how many people have actually read my blog. Maybe I can just limit what I put in a daily blog if I did do that. I don't know. I could ask for ideas, but I don't know who would reply or comment or whatever. I believe I will find something to write about eventually. I don't know, I will try a few things and see what I like best. I am pretty sure this will just be something I read, but maybe if I tell people I actually have a blog they would read it.
So until then
