Time: 10:30 - 10:53 PM (I'm at a friend's house, and I was talking to him for a few minutes, so I couldn't really type)

I'm going to tell a story about what happened during PE the other day. I was playing tchoukball (a really dumb sport; I don't understand it). Anyway, long story short: the ball is coming at me; I try to catch it; pinky finger gets jammed; I'm in pain, and so on. Next thing I remember, I start feeling sick, and I go tell the teacher; meanwhile my pinky's throbbing. I felt like I had to throw up.

Next thing I know I start getting tunnel vision and hearing, and everything's in slow motion. The teacher told me to go to the locker room; I start walking and I remember the teacher asking me if I need help getting to the locker room. I didn't answer because I was trying to process everything that was going on. He asked me again, and this time I answered; I looked down at the floor and said "I don't know." Then I started walking to the door to the locker room (which felt like it took forever).

I remember touching the door handle, but I don't recall feeling it. I think my body was numb. I walk into the locker room to go sit down, it felt like it took forever. I felt better after I sat down, I started to feel a little better. I went to the nurse, got an ice pack, ate some crackers, then went to class. The nurse said I was pale.

Later when I got home, I told my grandma about it (she used to be a nurse, so I figured she could tell me what happened). She told me that what had happened was that my blood pressure dropped (as a response to the injury).

That made me think: "If I get low blood pressure from an injured pinky, just imagine how my body would react if I broke a bone."

By far one of the most interesting experiences I've ever had (though not one I would want to experience again).

I apologize for the lack of blog posts lately; school and stuff has been hectic. Homework and all that jazz. Anyway, I just figured I'd post something just to get it out of the way. As I type these words, I'm listening to "Invention No. 8, BWV 779" on repeat. It's just so catchy, so memorable. Too bad it's only like 50 seconds long. Anyway, I got some new ideas for the series, which I haven't really been able to work on lately, but I'll try and make it a summer project. I don't know, I'll see what I can do.

I was at my grandma's yesterday (at the time of writing this). I helped her move some stuff, it was nice. I got a lot of my late grnadpa's shirts, so that's nice (hey, at least we don't have to go shopping for shirts antyime soon).

I hope to get more blog entries out. Stay tuned!

I've just been having the weirdest sleep[ing] pattern these last couple or so days. I've just been having school work to do, and I don't ever feel like doing it. Why is that weird? Well, the thing is, I've been waking up super early ONLY if I have any work to do. Usually it's around 4 or so. Well today I woke up about 2:30 to work on a paper.

I don't even remember falling asleep yesterday. I got a text from someone at 7:02 PM; I don't remember getting one, so I figured that I fell asleep before 7:02. Maybe around 6? I really don't know, but the last thing I remember having was Kool-Aid. The very last thing I remember doing was watching a YouTube video. Next thing I know, it's 2:30, and my phone needs to be charged. Ummm oaky? What happened? I don't know, but I don't care. I need to go back to bed. If I remember to do so, I'll write another blog later today.
Goodnight.

Time: 10:03 AM - :  PM

AM:

10:04 - 10:06;

I thought I’d try something different. I thought maybe I could “document” my day as it goes along. Later on, if I think this was one of the worst ideas imaginable, then I won’t do it again.

10:07 - 10:08;

I’m going to get ready for the day; I’ll be back in a few minutes.

10:18 - 10:21;

I’m back. Now I am just laying down on my bed; looking out the window. Nothing’s really happening outside, but the dog sure is making a nest out of my blanket.

10:22 - 10:28;

I picked up a book called “Seeing is Not Believing” by Gyles Brandreth. It’s a book about optical illusions. The bottom words say “Fun With Optical Illusions”. I thought it said “With Fun Optical Illusions”. I don’t think I’m dyslexic, but I’ve been questioning the validity of that thought. Maybe that was an illusion? Hm. Maybe I’m dyslexic; who knows?

10:59 - 11:00;

I decided that I was done reading. Now I’m watching a show with my sisters called “Alexa & Katie”. It’s actually a pretty good show.

11:11;

Eleven-eleven.

11:40 - 11:43;

I just made my bed, and organized my room a bit. I closed the curtains and turned off the fan and light. As of right now, I can think of no reason that I would need to come back in here. I have everything I need for when I go back home today. I think breakfast (brunch?) is being made. I’m glad because I’m hungry!

PM:

12:04 - 12:05;

Breakfast was delicious! Man, was I hungry.

12:53;

We’re still just watching Alexa & Katie.

12:56 - 12:57;

Is Alexa & Katie just a way of learning lessons? Woah.

12:59 - 1:01;

Okay the show’s over; now I’m thinking about going outside.

2:15 - 2:16;
I’ve been inside for a few minutes it’s actually very nice out. I’d love to just stay out all day.

2:52 - 2:53;
I’m just hanging out right now; thinking about life. You know, the usual.

4:03 - 4:04;
I’m leaving within the next hour or so; I’ll update later [when I leave].

5:48;
I’m home now, but I’m getting bored with this. I don’t think I’m ever going to do this again.

I apologize for the weird font; I’m typing on my phone and I don’t know why the font won’t change. Anyway, yesterday I went to my Grandpa’s visitation. There were so many people that I didn’t know, but that’s to be expected.

I’m at my dad’s as I type this, but I wanted to do something. I figured I could cure some of my boredom by writing a blog.

I’ve been working on a story, so that’s why I took a couple days away from writing blogs.

I also don’t know if anyone noticed, but I’d like to explain my picture on the side. That eye-looking thing is actually two fermatas together. I was just messing around in a music notation software, and I took a screenshot. Then I went to Microsoft Paint and just cropped out the fermata and made it look like an eye. Yaddah, yaddah, yaddah.

On this day, 192 years ago, we lost one of history's greatest minds: Beethoven.

School's over for the day. We get out early on Mondays. It's nice. Anyway, I have a piano lesson today. I love piano lessons. They're really fun, and I get to learn pieces I never thought I'd play. Currently I'm working on the C Major Prelude from the Well-Tempered Clavier (I feel like I'm somewhere between late-beginner and intermediate, but I don't know).

[taking time to practice piano] (~3:02 - 3:12)

Anyway, I've got nothing else to say. I'm going to be going to my lesson here shortly.

P.S. (never mind the fist sentence in the preceding lines of text; "I've got nothing else to say")

I think I'm just going to post maybe more than once a day, if I feel like it. I'm kinda tired of posting just once per day. I feel that I need more freedom to post more than once a day. This means that I'll probably be posting later tonight as well. Maybe a story, maybe an opinion, who knows?
