the latest news

I'm actually not too big on sports (blasphemy to say on campus I think), but there are definitely a few activities I enjoy. The primary one is martial arts. I've been taking martial arts since I was 9 (aikido for those who care) and hav fallen deeper in love with them as time goes on. I am rlly wanting to branch out and get some other martial arts started, but have not had much pportunity as of yet. I also do enjoy cycling. Part of it is a family thing, as both of my parents used to do it all the time and really love it, but I also enjoy it because it is good cardio exercise and is esier on the knees than running (I've seen too many people blow out their knees to risk losing mine any time soon).

I've been playing trumpet since I was 7, but it's always been a love/hate kind of thing. I enjoy playing it and have loved a couple of directors I've had, but the dedication needed for music is just something I don't have. That's why I'm in the PWR major. Writing is something I have a talent for, enjoy doing, and am willing to put in the work needed to get better a it (the same goes for martial arts, sans the talent).

As far as writing goes, I pretty much like all kinds, though some get more tedious than others. I love to do short stories, as I have control of the situations and can really flex muscles of creativity. I also like to do poetry when I'm in the mood just for the abstraction and simplicity. I'm really obsessive about spelling and grammar, but ever since making my laptop my primary computer, I definitely understand how easy it is to make typos (damn tiny keys and keyboard). Hopefully I will catch all of mine before I post. Please feel free to point out any corrections I miss.
