Today, Ashton, my mom and I woke up at 4:30 and went running. It was a lot of fun.  So tomorrow, Ashton and I are going to do it again. It's really weird. I used to hate running and things like that, but now I really enjoy it. I'm still really slow, and everyone always has to wait for me, but I'm getting better and I feel better, like really happy. It's cool. I want to get to where my endurance is really good so that I can take a week long hike through a state park or something. I've always wanted to do that.

Ever since school started, Ashton and I have been spending a lot more time together, and we're getting back to how close we were a long time ago. I don't feel so out of the loop now.  I guess things are going okay in my life right now. Not so much as actual problems disappearing, but my outlook on those problems has been changing. It's nice.

Yesterday was Sean's family's labor day party. It was at their bay house, and we had a lot of fun. My mom, Summer, Laura, and I went. Ashton was still in Austin, so that was sad. Anyways, Laura and I forgot our swim suits, so we borrowed clothes from Summer and Sean. Then we went out on the boat and Sean drove, and then we went tubing, but the belt on the boat started messing up, so only Laura and I got to go. And.....I actually got a tan!  I'm so happy.

On Saturday I got my senior portraits done. I got to see them today, and they are MUCH better. It was a lot of fun getting them done, too. We went to 2 parks, railroad tracks, her studio, and Galveston beach. I was also in six different outfits, so that was cool.

On Friday, I was really tired, but Guy took Ashton, Laura, and me to go see Idlewild. It was pretty cool. The best thing about the movie was the music. I definitely need to download the soundtrack. The dancing was nice, and the costumes were awesome. The floozy showgirls made me laugh. It all kind of reminded me of a black version of Moulin Rouge, only more guns and better music. We had gone to see the latest showing though, so we didn't get out until around 1:45, and I had to drive home. I was falling asleep while I was driving, and I kept on drifting off the road. It was really scary.

Well, I kind of went in reverse with this whole post. Oops.  Today I ate at Red Lobster with Laura and Guy for no apparent reason. I really love the biscuits there.

I feel really tired now all of a sudden. And sick. This sucks. I still have homework.

I can now say that we are going out without any doubt. It's pretty cool. : )

My nail fell off today, and now it hurts really bad.

I just watched Battle Royale for the first time. It was so good.  It's officially my new favorite movie (for the week, at least).

I found the address for Dir en grey fanmail:

I don't know how old it is, though...

My mom thinks that I might be anemic after what happened today. We're going to see if I go numb or get chest pains again, and if I do, then I have to get some bloodwork done. I'm also at a higher risk for developing anemia because I don't eat meat. They also think that it might have been an anxiety attack, but it's doubtful because I wasn't short on breath or over stressed at the time. All in all, it's a big mystery. : )
