Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me.

Today I ran 12 laps in 36 minutes. I need to shave it (or actually, hack it) down to 20 minutes. But I'm definitely getting there! i hope

I really want to go swimming.

God, I miss the pool so much.

Summer's here and I run, bike and fence every day c: I have a lot more time now! And every time I check my dashboard I feel hungry, haha. I'm a book person, though, and whenever I read I forget about my cravings. :D 

Some books I'm reading, btw! 

Villette, by Charlotte Bronte

Never Let Me Go, by Kazuo Ishiguro

Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card (is that how you spell it?)

Spent a day at my old elementary school

I volunteered to help out with my old school's Wellness Day event (doesn't it sound wonderful? c:) and I missed a day's worth of classes. It was amazing. I ate so much food - the PE teachers there ordered Thundercloud and Jason's Deli subs, and I ate one of them, plus Minute Maid, half a peanut butter cookie (shared with a buddy) and Oreos. Unhealthy but filling, haha. Also I spent six hours running around, doing jumping jacks and squats with various adorable elementary school kids, setting up games, monitoring games, dancing, cheering, packing up all the stuff afterwards, cleaning up the area, and becoming heavily involved with water fights. Yeah! Go me! :D

How was your day? =)

I hate how when i eat a lot, i feel the need to defend myself. I shouldn’t have to explain myself to people. If i want to eat a lot, ill fucking eat a lot. And if you have a problem with it.. I’ll eat you too.

I’m stuck between wanting to be an adult, accomplishing a lot, and contributing a lot to society and lying on my floor, ignoring my responsibilities, and crying to sad songs alone in my room.

Silly bit of animation practice.

DUSKEN LOOK

[lifeinlemons-blog]

So...

apparently Gangnam Style (is that how you spell it?) is REALLY GOOD exercise. The dance, I mean. Like, watch the video (on mute if you don't like the music). The girls around Psy look REALLY fit. Like, they probably danced that so many times asdfghjk (yeah don't look at Psy because he was probably paid to stay fat. humor is sick these days.) The dance is kinda...hard to look at but beneficial if you nail it.

also formal was beautiful c:

[lifeinlemons-blog]

Formal!

Guys guys guys I have formal in, um, 2 hours! Holy - I need to get ready to go. My friends and I are going as a group, Matrix-style. Cue black dresses, black suits, black boots and black water guns. :P

Fruitarianism: a new idea

Cravings, cravings, cravings. I hate it. Back when I had no motivation to eat clean, I never touched peanut butter. And now I crave it so badly. Wat. But I  need to practice self control, haha. 

I'd like to be a fruitarian. Is that what it's called? <checks> Yep. So. I'd like to. I'd like to very much. But here's the thing. I wanted to be a vegetarian, but my parents disagreed quite strongly. No, they said. You'll lack nutrients, they said. No more protein, they said. No more calcium, they said. But it wasn't as though I'd planned to sit down at the table and suddenly eat raw lettuce leaves for the rest of my life. (Although I love romain lettuce. Cooked, though.) I'd planned a gradual change. But my parents showed their disapproval, so I stopped talking about the prospect of being a vegetarian. 

But now...a fruitarian...like, 65-75% of my meal would consist of raw fruit, the rest vegetables and whole grains. Could you imagine? Also I would probably eat calcium pills if I really lacked it. I don't know. These are just dreams.

"if only I had the nerve"

Sometimes I wish I can slip out of the house and run forever. Run around the neighborhood, then out of it. Run up that long, beautifully winding sidewalk next to the street. Run through the grass and the gravel and the dirt, past the bridges and the ponds and the ducks and the weeds. Run through the day. Run through the night. Run next to the beach. Run until I'm crying with happiness.

Meanwhile, it's 47 degrees F out, 8 at night, and the wind is strong enough to knock down trees. I also have a lot of test-reviewing to do. Yay.

the worst thing about being shy and introverted is that you most of the time come off as cold and arrogant like you think you’re better than everyone else and thats why you don’t talk to people or hang out with them but it’s really the opposite its like you’re so uncomfortable with yourself that you don’t wanna share it with anyone else so you just dont and people think you’re an asshole but you’re actually just really scared
