catching up on life:
i never did make it to the okinawa festival :( but i did get a little piece of it in the form an an oishi andagi (okinawan dounut) that b-saucy gave to me :)

i did indeedy end make it to the savers sale on labor day. i arrived a little after 6:30 a.m. assuming i was going to be the only loser sitting in the parking lot, but no, i was about thirtieth in line! got a l ot of little boys t's and a really gnarly canteen. exactly what i had been needing for hinking. (now i need to ge hiking again) anyway, after a very long monday it finally ended when tuesday came around (duh).

finally got a haircut this morning. the beautician thought i was seventeen years old. wow.
she also said my hair was, "not hair anymore. it's string." mostly just the bottom since i had been at least half a year since i last had it trimmed, and it's all good now.

called up my pops today. we don't really chat very often since i mostly just talk with my mom and she fills him in...but anway, i called my dad today and found out he used to write for a newspaper for about a year when i was a few years old. he was in the military and wanted to write articles for magazines and just send them in and make money. he took a writing class (my dad isn't much of a books kind of guy; he types with two fingers...), and the teacher submitted all of the students writings to the paper. the only one they published was my dad's article and they decided they wanted to give him his own column! "woods and water" is what it was called and it covered areas such as hunting and fishing. i'm impressed.
he said his teacher told them to write many articles and send them out lots and lots of magazines because often they are denied. he said he sent one article to one place and got a "thanks but no thanks" kine letter back and he gave up. well, maybe not gave up, but moved on. he often starts new hobbies and gets into different things; i kind of think it was just one of those things.

p90x...haven't even thought about it, let alone done it (yet...)

i feel like all i've been doing is school; it's pretty much a constant.

was supposed to work tonight but gave up my shift because i needed a break, and to do some more school work.

i'm contemplating going to a bar to meet some dude i met a while back. he always invites me to crusie, but i always decline. i looked up our compatability: out-look no so good. ...not that i'm basing decision on that, just saying...
