NaNo Day 7

Thank you to the stranger at the gym who came up to me today and told me he thought I looked great. He'd noticed me when I first started showing up 1.5 years ago--a feeble, skinny teenager who didn't even know how to lift a dumbell. And he told me that now, I looked strong and healthy and I was doing great and I should keep it up.

It made me smile. :)

You have no idea how thankful I am to all the strangers out there I've met or not met who have or will change my life. Here I was fumbling with the way my stomach looked in the mirror when a buff guy with tattoos came up and lifted the burden off my shoulders just a bit. It really meant something to me. I don't know what I would do without people like that in the world. They teach me more than textbooks and tests and Wikipedia.

As for NaNo, I finally fell behind the SUGGESTED word count, which is actually 5 pages ahead of my PERSONAL word count. (I was intending to write 90 pages in the first 3 weeks and then 100 in the last week when I had school off) So I'm aroud 8089 words right now. Hopefully I can bring it to 9000 tonight!!!

More updates to come. I think I'm gonna take a nap now. (Oooohhhhh-->if you looked at my mood, you probably noticed I was feeling "chipper" today. I didn't know what it meant until 2 seconds ago when I went on Urban Dictionary. "Happy or chirpy." That's EXACTLY what I was feeling. Here's to another word that means what it sounds like it means."

I'm also pretty sleepy. I just tried out for Fashion Show. Was one of 2 juniors who showed up. O.O Walked down the runway in high heels I never broke in. But I didn't think it went THAT bad. Okay,
