I am le sore, because I've managed to mess my knee up AGAIN, so I thought I'd share the story of why I'm a gimpy mess with you all. Because it's amusing.
The story starts on the very first day of freshman year, when my Resident Assistant bullied me into joining the swing dancing club. I was a wee bit skeptical of this idea, since I have two left feet, but it turned out to be a lot of fun, and I met my roommate for the past two years there, so I can't complain.
Anyways. Every other year, my school does this Winter Ball shindig, and my sophomore year, a bunch of the swing dancers decided to go and swing dance the whole time. I wasn't dancing with them, but when the DJ played Zoot Suit Riot for them, my RA comes running up to me and informs me that we're dancing. We were doing really well, and I was actually having a lot of fun, when he decided to lead me into this move called the Armbreaker. It's this spin that has a dip in the middle, and it's really tricky (like, you could really break someone's arm doing it if you're not careful or if they aren't expecting it). And, as I went into the dip, my right knee decided that it had had enough of this nonsense and gave up. Somehow I twisted it underneath me, and managed to screw it up badly enough that I couldn't walk on it. We had to get a guy friend who hadn't come to the dance to come over with my boots and help me hobble back to my dorm.
Since then, my knee has played this trick a couple of times - once when I was dragging my suitcase through an airport on my way home from a trip and once this weekend. I was playing kickball with the cousins, and trying to let my 7 year old cousin get on the base without looking like I was letting her beat me. I slipped. My knee collapsed. I hurt. >.<

About those photos...
Yeah. Not happening.
As it turns out, I radically overestimated the amount of free time I would have this semester. I figured "oh, I'm only taking 16 credits. Piece of cake." That was a damn lie.
So I'm not going to be going out and taking the nature pics I had hoped for this semester. Sorry. D: I'm still carrying my camera around with me, so if I see something extraordinarily pretty I'll photograph it. But...not going out of my way to find pretty things right now. Just working in the lab a lot.
OH GOD.
What is this nonsense? Since when am I a college senior? Also, who are these strange kids and what are they doing on my campus?
Expect lots of nature pics this fall - I'm taking Botany (finally), so I'm going to "study" by taking lots of pictures of the trees and plants that I need to be able to identify.
This thing.
So yeah, I saw this on ~xTalithax (https://www.deviantart.com/xtalithax)'s journal, and decided to steal it. ^_~
1. ONE OF YOUR SCARS, HOW DID YOU GET IT?
My oldest scar is on my right eyebrow. I got it when I was 5, I was rocking on a rocking horse my father had made me, and managed to somehow do a front flip over the horse, which landed on my head and one of the ears cut my eyebrow open.
2. WHAT IS ON THE WALLS IN YOUR ROOM?
Which one? ^_^" In my bedroom at home, I have the "Procrastinator's Creed", a chorus award, and the cross I got at my baptism. At school, I have a Salvador Dali poster, and a picture of a little girl making a "boo" face, plus whatever art m
Decision made.
Yes. I'm adding some fanfiction. Just the one-shots, because my only multi-chapter fic is in progress and to be honest, it's too much of a hassle. ^_^"
PS. I archive all of my stuff at HP Fandom. I have one fic that's in progress up over there if you're interested.

I think I'm going to work on another chapter this afternoon, actually. I feel productive!
