"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." - Shakespeare

Been sick all week so I haven't done much that doesn't involve the TV or mindless computer usage. But what can you do?

Hm. Zero followers. I'm thinking that's not going to change any time soon... or ever. As much as people would gain from reading this blog.

I have another song for you: They Don't Care About Us by Michael Jackson. Watch the music video with the kids and the drums. I like that one best. And my dance class is choreographing to it which should make it especially interesting to you (or not).

I got a phone call yesterday at 12:34 midnight while I was writing a story I'm working on. (I'm up to twenty-something pages now.) Wrong number. Conversation goes something like this:
Me: Hello?
Him: Hi, uh, who is this?
Me: You called me.
Him: Is this Tiana?
Me: No. Who is this?
Him: Who is this?
Then I told him my name.
Him: Uh, I think I have the wrong number.
Then I told him the number he dialed.
Him: Oh... I think I get it.
Me: What?
Him: I don't know. Are you white?
Me: Yeah...
Him: Okay, well anyways, I'm bored. You wanna talk?
Me: Umm, that's okay.
Him: Okay. Well, it was nice talking to you.
Me: Yeah, bye.

Longest wrong number conversation I've had in my life. But also very funny.

Later.

I don't know which is better, Sprinkles Cupcakes or Kara's Cupcakes.

I'm baaaack!

Busy week, and in half an hour I leave to go babysit three little boys and however many friends they have over as well. But I am here for you now, because that is how much I care.

Erm.

Anyway, I think my last post was Tuesday, so I'll give you an ITOTD for Wednesday and Thursday.

Wednesday: I got my driver's license.

Thursday: I volunteered for a research study at Stanford University, so I went there and got a DXA Scan (which checks your bone density and other such medical things). They gave me a $10 Starbucks giftcard.

And this is today. Today I went to Sleeptalkinman.com for the first time, which you should check out if you are the type of person that likes funny and entertaining things. But maybe not if you have never heard the word fuck before. Which now you have, so problem solved.

Speaking of funny things, R, A, and I (as in me, that's not another initial) were driving back to the school parking lot to get A's car (we were all in R's car) and we saw A's dad driving around. And she hadn't called her parents or anything and they were expecting her home about two hours ago, so it was a big event in the back seat with A diving down under the windows so her dad wouldn't know she was there. But he drove away and she got home eventually so all is well. The end.

Running in the rain is fun, as long as you have gloves and sweatpants.

Today I found a song that I believe is best enjoyed when experienced through this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhLMxELOEgQ

He really just keeps going like that for the whole thing, so after about thirty seconds of head banging you have the idea.

If you were wondering (and if you were not, I'm about to tell you anyway), the song title "Chacarron Macarron" is a reference to cocaine. This might also explain the gibberish that makes up the majority of the lyrics. If you want the full effect, watch the music video on Youtube. You'll know you've clicked the right one when you scroll down and every comment is "WTF..."

Peace.

Have you ever had purple carrot juice?

Back from dance class and spontaneously starting a blog. ITOTD?

(I guess we're just jumping right into this, but for future reference, ITOTD = Interesting Thing Of The Day. Which I made up, and I guess I better explain.... Transistioning out of parentheses now.)

Awhile ago I decided that life in high school is falling into a pattern, and the pattern repeats, and basically I got bored. So I started this thing where I try to do something interesting every day. (Or at least almost every day. It's harder than it sounds.)

Basic rules:
1. No repeats.
2. No planning. If it's carefully structured, it's not that interesting.

And then, of course, don't do anything really stupid. But let's not get into that.

Today's ITOTDs:
- Did my regular running route in the pouring rain.
- Started a blog, I guess. We'll see where this is going....
