I made a very small step forward today in getting back to a normal schedule.

I had planned to get up at 8am to go take a brisk morning walk, but I stayed up way to late last night and didn't end up going until about 10. But I did go. My neighborhood is this giant circle thing, and speed walking around it took about 24 minutes. I'm starting off slow with just walking, but I hope to eventually jog around the entire area once my body adjusts to the physical work again. I also want to...

I've been helping my friend and her NAS (Native American Studies) class take Native American literature and convert it into a play. I originally signed on as playwright and helped them adapt their pieces into a play fit for the stage. I ended up also being cast into small parts after one of the girls in the class broke her foot. Then, on the performance nights, I acted as stage manager. How did one act of friendship turn into so much?

The experience reminded me of how much I loved...

Yesterday I took an exam to qualify to be an airport baggage screener with TSA. There was an English proficiency section, and I was confident that I kicked that test's ass. The second half was an x-ray test, and I was confident that the test kicked MY ass. Being able to identify things like spoons and shoes isn't as easy as it seems when it's lumped together with all the other load of stuff passengers put in bags. With the x-ray on, some of the things loose their individual shape since they're mixed...

I woke up this morning, as usual quite recently, with absolutely no desire to get out of bed. Despite having been fully awake around 9:30, I rolled over and went back to sleep until about 1. I tell myself I have nothing to do, since I don't have a job and am no longer in school, but thats a load of bullshit. Yet, I still don't get up.

I'm a stickler for schedules/plans. I like to be organized, so my ideal day is pretty thought out. Here's what I would/should be doing if I got up:...

Tuesday, Thursday, and every other weekend my big bro has his son. Since I've been away for college for 4 years of my nephew's 6 years, I try to make a habit of spending time with him whenever he's with my bro.

My nephew's always asking me to do things with him. "Aunty, can you watch me skateboard?"Aunty, can you help me find something to eat?" "Can you help me get the Cinnamon Toast Crunch?" "Aunty can you sit in here with me?" Kids have such a...

I've been thinking about this a lot lately, kind of wondering why it all began. I couldn't think of any reason as to why I like Asian guys. I simply just do. Since I couldn't think of why, I decided to think of when, hoping that would give me some insight.

Albert Son - My first crush on an Asian guy was back in 6th or 7th grade, maybe sooner, since I can't remember when I went to school him. I remember middle school (7th) for sure, but I also went to middle school w/80% of people...
