aloneindarknes7I’m sitting in the Pittsburgh airport getting ready to fly out to California for the second time in the same year, although this time isn’t Rowing related at all. I made a lot of great friends while in Costa Rica and we decided that we wanted our friendship to go beyond the Costa Rica trip. So here I am about to fly out to A’s place in California where R already is there waiting for me. I’m really excited for this. It promises to be a good start to my Winter break and goodness, I need this break!
Seriously, I was getting really uninterested in my schoolwork and just so tired with Rowing, which makes sense considering I was sick for the past few days. I really am loving most of the new girls this year on the team, especially the Novices, which I’m just surprised that they actually seem to be making it through everything. Novices, for those who aren’t on a Rowing team (practically all my LJ friends) are people who are completely new to the sport. They have never done it before and probably never heard of it before joining the team. Anyways, three of them are quickly becoming my favorite people ever. They’re all fans of anime, fandom like shows (like Scrubs, Smallville, Supernatural, things like that), and are pretty much a perfect fit for the team. The one had me for Secret Santa and got me a TMNT wallet that I actually didn’t have and made a paper crane with a cut-out of me to ride the paper crane. Greatest thing ever.
But I’m getting tired of this mandatory Rowing diet. Our coach decided to bod-pod test us, so to figure out how much of our body weight is muscle, fat, bone, ect. And everyone who didn’t score in the Athletic zone now has to lose weight. Forgive me for being a D-cup. Yes, I’m aware that I have fat on me, not even just in my boobs, but honestly I’ve always liked how I look. Now I’m becoming self-conscious and I really don’t like checking my weight every single day. I used to always just think of weight as being a number and now I have to actually pay attention to it or else I lose my only day off a week in order to do a fat-burning-extra-hard workout. It really sucks but I have lost 6 lbs so far. Except I’m on my period so now I gained it all back in that mysterious weight that always shows up during this week.
Anyways, I guess that was just me babbling on about Rowing, which is what I always seem to do. I understand what our coach is trying to do though. He just wants us to all be fully muscular so that we can actually win NCAAs this year since next year Amanda graduates and she takes away our best Erg score. It’s like this is our last chance to actually beat that damn Western Washington and stop their 6th consecutive win (even though their 8+ lost two years ago but they did still win overall since we only had an 8+ that year).
So, I’ve been busy filling out prompts for the smallfandomfest. I’m currently working on a Hellboy fic, District 9, and another fic for The Rundown. I want to also take on a Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang fic because I love Val Kilmer and Robert Downey Jr. in that film so much. Seriously, I adore small fandoms so much more than larger fandoms. I guess that’s why I was never too into the larger parts of fandoms. You just seem to find better quality fics in the smaller fandoms.
TMNT fandom, do not fear, lovelies, because I still have fics to post for you too. In fact, I might post that second part of that Vampire fic that I posted before NaNo. Even though our fandom has gone really dead lately, but I understand. Luckily, the new toon will help revive the fandom and everyone’s love for the green guys.
That’s all I really have to say for now even though I still have a half hour or so until my plane leaves.
WAIT, I LIED.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pigglehumsy, varrius, and myself have decided that I am Batman, pigglehumsy is Alfred, and varrius is Robin. It fits our relationships so well. XD My parents are never around so they’re practically dead, I always seem to have money, I’m pretty tough, I have so much Batman stuff. pigglehumsy is always taking care of me, makes me things, and is my oldest friend. varrius is good to have around, but only sometimes (just like Robin haha, poor boy I love him) because she's like a replacement friend, which I say with the most love. Yeah, okay, now I’m done for real.
