indirectly speaking.

My parents bought me a Fitness for Dummies book.
Not quite sure what they're trying to say.

friends make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

I made a friend today.
I forgot to ask his name, but he's my friend.
Because we had a conversation about how much we hate math.
In the library. While doing math homework.

I would say that I'm socially awkward, but that'd be contradicting myself, seeing that I just made a friend.

I used to think that talking to people was really hard.
I would just feel so awkward and obsess about how to not come across as annoying.
But now, I've just stopped caring.
And it's just so much easier.

On a side note, today our school had this little marathon thing.
I ran it like a boss.
Just kidding. I walked the whole thing.
But running was never my forte.
Because I intend on learning to drive when I'm older.

how i wake myself up.

I'm an ogre in the morning.
Waking me up is a long and hard process.
The night before, I have seriously sit down and think about how I can get myself to wake up at the appropriate time the next morning.

I used to get my dad to deal with me.
But I started to feel bad for him, since he had to start his day wrestling me out of bed.
So, I decide to take on responsibility of doing it myself.

I use my iPod Touch as my alarm clock and I set up a total of four alarms to go off.
Try to follow along. It's confusing.

The first alarm goes off at 5:00am. This lets me know that I need to get up soon.
The second goes off at 5:15am.
Since the snooze on my ipod lasts for ten minutes, it means that the alarm for the second alarm I set goes off at exactly 5:25am.
So, I set my third alarm for 5:24am.
Finally, I set my last alarm for 5:26am.
Leaving me four minutes to get out of bed and into my jogging clothes.

So, a typical morning looks like this:
The first alarm goes off at 5:00am. I turn it off.
The second alarm goes off at 5:15am. I hit the snooze button, and go back to sleep.
The third alarm goes off at 5:24am.
And the snooze from the second alarm goes off 60 seconds later, at 5:25am.
Finally, the fourth alarm goes off at 5:26am, finally waking me up.

I know that all of this probably just bounced right off, but it wakes me up.
And that's what matters.

obesity vs kidnapping.

I want to exercise in the morning.
It's probably fueled by my new way of thinking that if I don't get off the couch and go work out, I'm not going to live till I'm fifty due to obesity.

But there's one issue.
I'm afraid of going outdoors in the morning by myself.
I'm fine on our treadmill, but once I'm outside, I'm always overtaken by the paranoia that a creepy man with a ski mask will lure me into a windowless white van and drive me to some abandoned parking lot 200 miles away.

So right now I'm deciding which is worse: being that fat kid people can't pass in hallways, or the possibility of being abducted by scary people.
