... that scares you.
You know what? I'll tell you a little secret-it works. A lot of things scare me; and I've always been afraid to try new things or speak to new people. Well, I still am. But I haven't let that stop me once--I've let it stop me several times ;). Even so, almost every day there are several moments where I know I have to step up to bat and face the things that terrify me. And even if I do it one time out of say, five, I count that day as an overall success. It took me a while to realise the correlation between doing new, scary things and my mood, but I found it in the end. And now I'm not going to let it go.
My one scary new thing today is: Asking my swimming senior about the treat. :)
My one scary new thing yesterday was: Demonstrating butterfly in NSO. God, that was frightening. especially since the next one to demonstrate was being criticized by Sir as I got out of the pool.
My one scary new thing tomorrow will be: Studying. Bleh.
I haven't had time to read or write much since the last time I updated this blog, which was a while ago, I'll admit, but I have heard--finally--One Direction. Oh, come on! They are kind of (totally) cute!

I put that last bunch of adjectives backwards after writing them as 'totally (kind of)' because someone yesterday told me that I shouldn't 'build up expectations' and then 'destroy them'. Does that seem a little huffy to you? Well, perhaps it is, but mostly because I've never even thought about what my conversation says about me. My writing, sure. Conversation, not so much. I'm not even good at it, unless you're my 'very good friend :P' and I just rattle off anything off the top of my head.
And after this sudden and incredibly deep introspection, let me just say this to someone I don't like: You'll probably never see this, and I don't blame you, the only people who read this read it at gunpoint. Still, I need to get this out. I have no idea why you don't like me; why you don't smile when I smile at you or say 'hi' back when I talk about 'Greetings to alien beings', but, just to be completely clear on this--I don't like you because you don't like me!
