I wish my friend didn’t work so much. I want her to have fun too. 
We had softball practice today. I’m working on being more aggressive, which translates to running after the ball and screaming at it when I go in for a catch. It works sometimes, but not all. Not most, actually. I’m trying, I swear!
I vowed to be better than last year at the very least. I was told that my glove is too stiff and that I should run it over a couple times with my car, oil it up and tie a softball inside the pocket. I need some oil.
I also made a video game wall of geekdom at work today. We won’t win the department decorating contest, but at least it’s something to show!

About the samplist.
For some, sampling is a tricky issue. When is sampling in music okay? When is it not?
Why?

More and more people I know (and would love to get to know!) are using Twitter. If you have an account that I don’t know about, or if you would like someone else to add to your list of stalkees, feel free to add me: iamfiction.
Tweet tweet, peeps!

Saturday. It has been productive thus far, since I’ve written the rough for chapter 3 of my project. It’s a challenge to write in the mindset of a woman who’s so much different than yourself. I really like where it’s going. Every little word means something in Amelia’s black and white world.
Stability is nice, but there is much more to life than that. It took me a very long time to realize it. A very long time. I’m 26 and I’m starting to live my life a little fuller than I used to.
I can’t spend it dreaming, no matter how tempting that is and always will be to me.
Tryad has some amazing music available if you’re into chill / electronic music. I highly recommend.
I shall be living my life out in the lights and darkness tonight with my friend. Here’s to good times now and many more to come.
Cheers!

You have to treat it with care. It’s not something I always do.
A friend of mine told me today that I never come to her when I have problems. I tried to fix that aspect of myself, so I could be more trusting and feel less guilty about burdening someone, but I haven’t been able to fix much. I’ve always kept to myself. I’ve always spared people my problems.
I do this to put on a front; I’ll admit that much. I’m hyper-emotional, but I try really hard to act tough and strong and flat-out positive about everything, regardless how I really feel inside. I would jeopardize that if I shared my troubles.
Everything is well with my friend… I hope, but I know I won’t change. Keeping my problems to myself is something I have always done.
I hate being a burden to anyone. I’d rather be vague and blame everything on little sleep.
