Yeah.... I'm just that kid.

I am a dork, I am messy, I am (somewhat) responsible, I am goofy, I am an open book, and I manage to survive while just being me.

With that being said, I failed my room's health and safety inspection yesterday.... Whoops. Apparently Derick wasn't thrilled with the condition of my floor. I HATE rooms that are "too clean." I think its probably from moving so often with our houses having to be in perfect condition while we were selling them, but I now have this need to keep things in disarray. I'll clean it up before 4 so that I don't get fined though... Because that would suck.

I also beat Portal 2 yesterday (instead of doing physics). THE END IS SO AMAZING. And the music for it is now stuck in my head (not the credits song mind you). Symphony go!

And I'm playing through Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door again in Iris's room! This makes me the best kinds of happy. Like you wouldn't believe. That game is amazing.

There is also hair on my face. As in, a significant amount and I have yet to shave it.... Which surprises me.... A lot.

I'm also featured in the newest "Mystery Desserts" episode which my friend Elika puts on about different sketchy desserts at the Tilly. You can check it out here.

And so now here I am just being me, being happy, and loving life just how it is (minus a nickname at the moment...). Its a good time to be me for me :)

Competition

I am a competitor.

It just happens to be part of who I am. I've played team sports forever (since I was 3 years old) and I don't just play: I play to win. Sure just playing to have fun happens every once in a while, but in reality it starts to wear on me if everyone is just off doing their thing and we can't succeed. Like in high school gym classes. We would go play floor hockey and as a hockey player I would know what I was doing, but my team wouldn't. This doesn't mean that the sport itself wasn't any fun, but I have a need to win. I drive for it. I strive for it. I work at it. But one man does not a team make. In floor hockey there are 6 players and I am but one of them working in a team setting.

I need a team.

Not only that, but I need a competitive team. A team that will always try to work as a cohesive unit and understand what it is that makes a team. Not everyone can be right. Not everyone can know what's best. We also need a coach. Someone who has a sense of respect from the team in his/her knowledge of the sport. Someone who isn't a player I think.

I think I'll go crazy if I can't have a legitimately competitive team because I hate being stomped in every team sport here at UAF (except soccer).

It sucks.

Accident Prone

I seem to be really accident/injury prone... It's almost as if I have an injury quota of the day and it usually ends up being filled. In the last week I have had my head bashed into someone's head in soccer, my hand whacked during broomball, a narrow dodge on being punched in the junk, been kicked off of a bed, and frequently I have fallen and hit a desk or something when I try to sit on the floor.

Now I don't quite understand why this happens to me, but it happens quite often...... I think there should be a way to fix it damn it!

Also, tonight I have broomball..... Lets hope I don't become injured tonight.

24 Hours of Firsts

Last night was the first dance I ever attempted to dance to something other than a slow song.

Today was my first practicum (being a stage hand) at UAF.

I started my first speed run of Super Mario Sunshine today.

I created my first plan to murder Derick.

I played my first 3v3 as Olaf in League of Legends.

I repeated my first CS 202 homework assignment.

It is the first time in a long time that I have been as happy as I am right now.

Tourney Time

So today I finished up in a League of Legends tournament at an internet cafe here in Fairbanks. Lately it has been my favorite team based game to play and I'm pretty good at it and I had a good team (myself, Skyler, and Kaleb) so we figured we would head over there and enter in to play. It even went alright, but we ended up losing twice and winning three times within the tournament.

Here's how it went as a whole for us:

There were a few off games... We lost games 2 and 5. But I think I did the best considering those facts.

Compared to my team, I had 9 less deaths than the next closest teammate and my Kills/Deaths/Assists ratio was much higher than everyone else. So I feel accomplished.

Maybe next time we can win... And pick better characters. I think Kaleb should be banned from Xin for a while.. Hahaha.
