December, thou livest in dreams! (Or something?)

Kuroyume, For Dear

_____Tomoko Hayakawa (author of the Wallflower manga series, which I'm a little obsessed with right now) totally raves about Kuroyume being her favorite band, so naturally, I had to take a listen to some. I must say, I'm really liking them now. (I also like Maria a lot, partly just because that's my middle name, and I'm biased that way.) I just wish I could understand all the stuff they're saying, besides the occasional English lines. These are the times I wish I had ultra language powers of magic.
_____For anyone who hasn't been paying attention to the epic best awesomeness that is color guard, winter guard tryouts are this week the 14th, 15th, and 16th from 3:00-6:00 (PM!) at West Hills! AHHHH!!!! {Insert very very very excited expression here}
_____I've been missing color guard so much! Even though getting all of my homework done will be harder once color guard starts, who said life had to be easy? I hear lots of band kids are thinking of doing color guard too, and it makes me happy. :' )
_____December's getting closer to ending! It feels like the year's really just begun, even though my mind really knows it hasn't. It's getting to that time to begin thinking of New Year's resolutions (even though I don't remember any of the ones I set for myself for this year, let alone accomplished said unknown things). So far, I only have one: Get my A1C score to 7.4, at least, and then get it better each time. My last A1C was 7.7. Whaaaa?? My brother even did better than me! (Don't you just love it when I teach you something about diabetes?)
_____Speaking of diabetes, I saw my diabetes doctor while I was working the concessions stand for the U of U gymnastics meet on Friday! It was odd. It's like seeing your teacher with their spouse and kids going shopping at Walmart: it doesn't feel normal. o.O But concessions was still fun and short, so that's all good. (The National Guard rappelled down with the American flag at the beginning! It was awesome!)
_____And now that I've bored you to death with talking about my life, I give you
__________AN IMAGINARY COOKIE! (You can choose the kind. Mine is oatmeal raisin.)
_____I know, it makes me happy to make you happy too. ;- )
