So, it's end of day 5, way too late <or early, if you want to think of it as day 6 I guess> and I'm having trouble sleeping: 1: because I'm sick, and coughing myself half to death every time I get somewhat comfortable and 2: I can't sleep. <go figure>

So I know day 4 didn't get a post, but I was semi-busy I guess?  I found that sometimes, I do have a social life, and I do interact with other people who I consider friends  <no way? friends? how to life?> So I played munchkin (which is really fun btw, and everyone should try it if they want to end and ruin all their friendships over a silly  card game), and talked to people.  <again, how to life? what is talk?> ..

Oh right, I also worked out yesterday, legitly, for like the first time, and I woke up soooo sore.... and I ache in places I didn't even know existed... also, I'm still sick.  no headaches (thank goodness), no congested sinuses, but I have a freaking horrid cough <which won't let me sleep and ...now my throat's starting to feel horrible... :'(   > ..

So tomorrow, my parents, and my younger younger sister (I have two) are gonna be "visiting?"  Well, they're not really visiting campus, we're going out for lunch, then going to a family friend's house, like 30 minutes off campus, and then maybe dinner? idk.  maybe I'll bring them to visit campus/my dorms/meet the people I live with. <maybe> I'm still thinking about it.

The bet:  The no games and anime part is going just fine.  I don't really miss them much (I didn't really watch anime anyways. was always more of a manga person) but I get bored a lot. especially when there's nobody around.  Manga is a tougher story, not because I need allll my updates, but there's certain manga I just want to (re)read because I love the characters so much (Nisekoi!!! so much love for the female chars...)  I might end up losing the bet because of this... <asking a girl out... here I come D:  >  If I really had to ask someone, I'd rather it be someone I actually wanted to ask out, and so I'd not feel forced to (okay, it would totally be forced cause I would never in my right mind do that)  Also, I'd never ask someone out cause I am completely and pretty much totally shy and stuff

I have had limitations placed on who I can/ cannot ask.  she can't know about the bet, which sucks, cause like everyone knows about the bet (and that eliminates like everyone I talk to/ might eliminate someone I kinda like as a person and would maybe think of asking if we were closer, and I was more perfect and cool and stuff), but I guess it makes sense that she shouldn't know, cause then she'd think the confession was a joke, and I'd rather it not be.  (or she'd feel bad for me and I wouldn't want that...)

and so if anyone's reading this, sorry, I can't ask you :P (not that anyone'd want me to, lol :'(...   )

So... enough about the bet.  As you probably don't know, I've been going to the beach more recently (not yesterday, cause I worked out! :O ) I started on monday I think.  It's about a 15-20-30 minute walk down depending.  I've been going after it gets dark, which is really interesting because it's a lot different than going during the day;  there's usually no people, you just hear the ocean and your footfalls, and it gives me time to think <and despair over my lack of a life but that's neither here nor there>, so it's a nice experience.  I think I'll be going often.  I'm going to start working out more regularly, doing cardio regularly, and I'm thinking of starting a rec class, like martial arts or something.  

My story is also kinda semi starting to get into pre-writing stages.  I have a kind-of-plot that I think I'm going to go with, and I have a general sense of what I want to do, but characters are going to be hard to develop.  I want to be able to develop and go into depth with my characters, and maybe have a hint of romance or something, but that's going to be hard (especially with my lack of experience in romance, but hey that's what all the manga I've ever read is for, right?)  I have a kind of general outline of what I want one of the main characters to be like, but creating and developing more will be difficult.  Wish me luck! I'll see where I'll get with this, and my hopeful exercise and fitness and stuff.  I'm also still trying to figure out the best color font for my posts and titles and stuff, so bear with me.  (it's hard, cause I wanna keep my background what it is... :(    )
