8:00 AM: I got 9 hours of sleep last night. My mind's rested, but my legs feel just the same as they did late last night. My legs are as tired as they have been for the past 3 weeks, despite getting 9 hours of uninterrupted sleep. I'm tired of this. Standing is still tiring. I can't stand for a prolonged period of time. I feel fine sitting down though, but standing is tiring. I never thought that after being able to run a couple thousand of miles that standing would be difficult. Well, actually, if I put it that way...
12:30 PM: My hamstring started bothering me again. It seems that there are few places in my legs that DON'T have scar tissue in it. My shins started randomly hurting yesterday, but no sign of that pain today, so that's a good thing.

8:30 AM: I got 9 hours of sleep again last night. Uninterrupted too. My legs are still tired and sleep is not leaving them refreshed.
About now, I've realized that there is almost no logical transition into what else I'm going to say... So here we go!
The more I think about it, ways of communications these days are rather depressing. How many people call each other on the phone anymore? Is ones' idea of social interaction and fun going out with a friend, or chatting on facebook/(other instant messaging programs) with many friends at once! The way I see it is that talking nowadays is overrated. Texting is the new form of communication. I honestly don't see too many people talking on phones anymore, and when I do it's usually people with those bluetooth microphones that look like they're talking to themselves... and I just have to make fun of those people.
I'm one of the few teenagers in the nation not to have text, and while it's inconvenient at times, I'm still happy to say that I still have to talk to people. Real life conversations are just so much more real. That seems like an obvious point, but many things are missed during texting, including body language and tone of voice. But the biggest thing is that texting is so much different from real life in that it is almost impossible to become true friends. I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you were hurt and needed someone to comfort you, would you ask the person who you've ONLY conversed through text messaging? Probably not. I know I wouldn't. I just have a feeling that people will fail to develop really real personal relationships and instead have a lot of acquaintences.
I'm having a REALLY difficult time articulating this thought, so if anyone wants to talk about it and clarify somethings, you know how to contact me.
Anyway, last night I got home from a Volcanoes baseball game. It was fun, except really long. I'm not really a huge fan of baseball, but it's fun going to the games. Anyway, when I got home, my mom showed the dorm layout information on the Colorado State University, which I liked by the way. After that, I checked my facebook... only to see that I had 6 notifications!!! Now that's a lot for me, so naturally I was kind of excited, only to have my hopes dashed by notifications from the compare people application, exclaiming these beautiful words: "Somebody has just compared you to one of her friends." Just those 10 words can make you feel like a loser, because you know that in a 50-50 shot, you just lost and it's enough to make you say "hmm." Now, I don't put much stock into these ratings, which by the way, I think that the scale is from 1-100, and 100 is the highest, so I'm pretty much off the charts, but in the end it's a stupid application, so don't worry about it.
Once again, there's not much you can tell about a person over the internet or text messaging. Ironically, I wrote all about this on the internet. Oh well.
Later.

Yeah, talking in real life is more real, because it's real. Really?
I HATE THAT WHEN THE NOTIFICATION IS FROM THE STUPID RATE YOUR FRIENDS CRAP!!!
i don't have a blog, but i'm in a blog mood, so i suppose i'll spruce up your comment site and make you happy from recieving another comment. i agree that there is a loss in texting and conversing on the internet; although, if you analyze one side of an arguement, it is always appropriate to analyze the other side. i am also a fellow non-texter, and as nice as it is to call people, there are certain times when texting is the preferrable and the more necessary device. i don't like during school either. there was a time when i needed to tell a friend something and sure, you may say that it could wait, but really, as society is warped today, patience isn't a strong virtue, so no. i couldn't wait. anyways, i couldn't text my friend to tell them, so i decided to call them and tell them this information and it ended up that the comment seemed like a silly little saying rather than the important information it really was in my head. through technological commuting, you can hold the words infront of you and interpret them how you wish. if you are uncertain about the interpretation, you can ask the speaker and it wouldn't be considered rude. rather than the inconveniece of speaking on the phone, being unable to process all the information at one time, and then once ending the converstion, finally being able to process the information and realizing that you replied in the worst way possible. another good reason for this technological computing is that, while it does only form aquaintences, the aquaintences allow physical confrontation in future times with a base for safety. and, i could continue to ramble and be a pessimistic innanimate being on this technological computing mashine...but i suppose i will spare you.
