Renegade – Styx

About time for a little action, isn’t it?

The past few days have been fairly intriguing.

Staying up till 8am the first day of the New Year sent my sleep schedule even more out of whack than it already is. After taking jetlag into account, that will either be a very good thing or a very bad thing when I get back for the first few days of school. In any case, I’m not worried too much about that now.

I was sitting on my bed working on my laptop one night and what did I happen to see when I glanced up? A mouse. It took me a second to recognize it, I was probably thinking of my sister’s hamster. I saw it run to a corner of the room then under my bed. I sat there thinking, “Mama’s not going to like this…” Because I’m more afraid of the mousetrap snapping back onto my finger than I am the actual mouse, my father set the trap and I gently placed it next to my dresser before going into the other room to watch a movie. The next day, the mousetrap sat untouched until the puppy came in and set off the trap to get the bait. It’s been several days and there’s still no sign of ‘im.


My video hasn’t really been getting anywhere due to some… *ahem* technical difficulties. And yes, despite my computer savvy self, I am just as prone as anyone else to technical difficulties. :P
As of now, WMM isn’t letting me work on anything. I’m thinking of working with another program, but we’ll see how that goes.

For a bit of good news, ISC is moving again! ^_^

Wind of Change – Scorpions

Happy New Year everyone.

According to my siblings, I was “trying to be epic” last night when I walked through the dark, snow-covered streets with a pan of pizza in each hand and my open coat fluttering in the wind. I told them I don’t have to try, it comes naturally. :P

We celebrated the New Year with pizza, games, and fireworks. It is now about 8 hours and 40 minutes into the year and it’s been great so far. I’m not entirely sure much sleep I’ll get this year, but I certainly hope it’s more than last year.

Oddly enough, so far I’ve listened to a few older tracks this year. I like the older songs; they bring back many memories. I remember rocking out to “It’s my life” by Bon Jovi with my father and baking cookies with my mother to “How will I know” by Whitney Houston. After watching Doctor Who, those of us who were still awake went over pictures from our trip to London… the one we took eleven years ago.

The end of the year seems to be the best place to stop and reflect. The continuance of time seems to keep us from being lost in the past, for the most part. The ushering of the new year keeps things in perspective. Yet another year is gone, yes, but just as swiftly a new year is upon us. No matter what the last year was like, we look on to the new year with hope.

As the sun rises on the first day of 2011, there is much to be hopeful for. We have been granted another year, let’s make the best of it.
