sharper than an elephant's tusk

i'm about to start my editorial rough draft, but before i do that, i thought i'd warm up my writing a little with a quick post. first of all, for anyone who reads this or cares, i'd like to say that i've been feeling a lot better this week. there were very few rough patches and barely any tears shed, although i did cry when i got cupcakes and a picture with a nice message from jooly yesterday.

i enjoyed my birthday a lot. i was greeted by many throughout the day and felt great, even though everyone forgot to sing in AVID :[ i had yo's with balls, danilo, and christa and it was fun. i can only imagine what would've happend if we'd gone to fuji's instead, haha. i spent the rest of the afternoon at balls' watching teevee, eating brownies, playing with jake, and falling asleep on and off. in the evening, i ate at elephant bar with my most of family and balls. we had hella appetizers and i got a delicious shrimp adventure platter, strawberry lemonade<3, and a won-ton fudge sundae that i split with B for dessert. i went home around 930 and knocked out. tiring, yet satisfying sweet 16.

i've been making to-do lists and setting goals for myself. it's been helping me get things back together. tomorrow [i never spell it that way, so this is how you know i'm serious], lena and i are going to do fantasmical at practice. i feel confident, even though we lost today and i injured myself.

my parents want me to quit. i'm still on the fence. i think tmrw will be a make it or break it thing for me. i am not going to throw all my infineon hours, summer mornings, and 5 months worth of savings for my stupid athletic fee away. nope!
