Groooaaaan. Normally I like the rain, but this is just too much... I can't fly at all this week because of it, and now they're saying it's going to rain next week too!? You gotta be kidding.... I'm so antsy! I don't wanna be on the ground! At least I can use this time to do my university assignments, but it still sucks having to cancel more flight lessons because of the weather. Worst case scenar... » Continue Reading
I ordered myself my own aviation headset so that I don't have to keep borrowing the ones from the school. Luckily I didn't have to pay since I still had all of my amazon gift cards from Christmas and my birthday! Now, I just gotta remember to plug them in before turning on the plane, so I don't electrocute myself again.... Hah! Hopefully they're comfortable and have good sound. I won't know until... » Continue Reading
I started reorganizing my room yesterday to make space for all of my aviation stuff. I bought some model jets and helicopters and wanted to display them. In the process of reorganizing, I remembered that I have a big bag of stuff in my storage shed. So, I went out to the shed and opened it up.... I had so much Pokémon stuff in there I had forgotten about! All kinds of other plushies from my childh... » Continue Reading
Pretty much everyone who knows me off SpaceHey already knows this, but I felt like bringing it up again because I had another weird dream last night. I won't get into the details, but I believe in past lives. And I very heavily believe that in one of my past lives, I was good friends with the Red Baron. There's a lot of reasons why and I understand it seems silly. But regardless of whether it's tr... » Continue Reading
I GENUINELY HAVE NO IDEA HOW NOT TO SAY THIS WITHOUT ALL CAPS SCREAMING. I AM TRYING HARDER THAN SPONGEBOB AND PATRICK TRYING NOT TO SING THE GOOFY GOOBER SONG. TODAY WAS... BEYOND MY WILDEST DREAMS. Okay. I promise I will make this readable, but just know that I am screaming internally the entire time. Today, we went to the air museum by the local air force base. While we were there, they told ev... » Continue Reading
Not gonna ramble about how much I love the game, but I still can't get over that epic ending sequence. Anyways, I found a random shiny Cetoddle last night, and today I was shiny hunting Swablu for the third time... Still no luck. So I'm just gonna give up again. So uh, earlier today I heard this little squeaking sound... And sure enough, there's four newborn kittens in our yard now. Again. Same st... » Continue Reading
I thought we had moved past this already. But apparently not. Sigh... I don't really know how to word this right, I guess. See, ever since I was a kid I've always said that I wanted to work with animals. I loved birds, so I trained with a bird rehabilitator for a while. I loved insects, so I took entomology at a university during a high school summer program. My first volunteering job was at the ... » Continue Reading
...... And I wasn't home to see it. I feel pretty crushed. I have not been to Wal-Mart in two entire years, and the day mom convinces to come with her, an L-39 Albatros passes... Right.... Over.... My.... House.... [Sobbing internally for 5 million years] » Continue Reading
GUYS. Today was SO COOL! My ground instructor was having his CFI checkride today AT THE SAME TIME that I was flying with my instructor. In other words, you know how you gotta do a driving test before you get your license? Well, that's what a checkride is for aviation. A CFI is a Certified Flight Instructor. So, my ground instructor PASSED his checkride and officially became a CFI today! I am so s... » Continue Reading
If you've ever seen a movie where a helicopter just spins out of control for the tiniest and stupidest reason, yeah that's pretty accurate. You can literally die just from a sneeze or scratching an itch. I wasn't scared being up there, but I DEFINITELY had this realization of, "Ohhhhhh, so that joke WASN'T entirely a joke, helicopters really do just.... Crash all of the time." Well not all of the... » Continue Reading
Oww. I have been having this horrible pain on the left side of my head for the past couple of days. I think a muscle's pulled, because both sides of my neck also hurt and my shoulders feel tense. I have some chronic issues with my jaw, and the pain flared up real bad. On top of that, my back has been killing me, like if someone took a sledgehammer to my spine. My left foot also hurts for no reason... » Continue Reading
Finally, I booked an appointment for the next tattoo I want. I'm going to L.A. to meet with a friend later this month, and decided it was a perfect time to get my next mark done. It's a B-2 Spirit and four F-22 Raptors in formation. It's gonna look sick! And I'm super hyped! My other tattoos are a lizard, and the Yiga Clan symbol from Breath of the Wild. Anyways, nothin' much to do today except s... » Continue Reading
