Some things never change.

I am still bad at updating blogs. Hence, the title.

Home again. I don't quite detest Georgia yet, but I know it's coming. Right now, I'm going to ride the wave of awesome that is being able to sleep until noon, not having ANYTHING to do (except practice), and being able to see my friends at odd hours.

My parents bought a Wii. Since my gym will be closed off and on until the new year, I am going to spend the rest of the three weeks on my membership during the three weeks I am here in January. Until then, I am having my ass kicked by the aforementioned video game console. Conclusions from my first night of using it: I cannot hula hoop, and sometimes I punch too fast for the controller to register that I am beating the crap out of this guy in Wii Boxing. I am also terrible at Wii Tennis. And waking up the first day after using your new video game console? IT HURTS.


In other exciting news, it's time for a new game of "you know you're a nerd WHEN..." I just ordered a medium Landwell as my last Hanukkah present, and I'm super-excited. As in, I really shouldn't be this excited over a knife. But for some reason I think it's really going to help my reedmaking abilities. At least...I hope so. I'm more excited for that than I am for using my Barnes and Noble gift card...and I almost pulled an excited puppy and peed on the carpet for that one.

Okay. Yeah. I just out-nerded myself. I suppose I could talk about my knitting too, just to round this post out with nerdiness.

Or not. For those of you who did not know, I went pescetarian about three months ago. To clarify, this means I eat fish, eggs, dairy, and veggies/grains. A lot of people ask me why I did it, and honestly I don't know. I've always wanted to become a vegetarian (especially after that one talk we had in Sunday School about butchering...Kosher vs. non-Kosher...ew). But honestly, I feel so much healthier now. I eat a lot of beans, a lot of soy (SO MUCH SOY) and a lot of tofu (counts as both of the above, I know). I tried Tofurkey, and it's actually pretty good. I looked at a lot of the benefits of being a vegetarian, and it's MUCH better for the environment (reduces the grain needed to feed livestock...and some of the methane gas from the cow farts). And it's actually not been terribly difficult.

Okay, that's enough rambling about my life.
