Favourtie Places!

Since Sonja AND Katie have posted their fave places, I thought I may as well.
This is in order of favourtism btw. Lol. Favourtism.

1. Wherever my friends happen to be
2. School (which is where I usually am with my friends, so that’s why it gets 2nd. Plus, and im such a nerd for saying this, I just like school! Most people sticking together and being loyal to our school, I just enjoy the general atmosphere.)
3. A tie between my Taekwondo dojo and Gymnastics. Whenever I’m there, I can’t concentrate on anything apart from TKD and Gym. Nothing. Sure, I can perhaps follow a train of thought which leads me to something from the outside world, but I can never continue to think about it. The thought is only there for a few seconds and then it disappears completely to be replaced by something TKD/Gym related. When I got angry last year, my immediate thought was, ‘At least I’ve got TKD tonight to release some anger,’ but it doesn’t work like that. I just CAN’T think of that there. At all. I get my power from my techniques, not anger because I can’t feel angry there anyway. Well, at least not because of the outside world. I have never felt angry at TKD. But I have at Gym. I’ve been doing that for 6 or 7 years now, so I was bound to get angry once in a while. But again, not because of something going on in the outside world. Perhaps I couldn’t get a simple technique or something. Oh, that reminds me, I was so pissed at a certain little pain in the ass called Connie. She’s in Year five or something, had never done gymnastics in her life. So she rolls up on the first day and shows up all us ‘ancients’* as we are called. So at this point we didn’t mind. So what if someone is better than us? We didn’t really care. Something that they drill into us at gym is ‘Don’t give a f*** how everyone else is going, just concentrate on how good you are compared to how you were last week.’ But then it started to get irritating. She didn’t do any work, just mucked around, chatted did no training at all while we ancients were slaving away. Yet she was still better than us. We were slightly annoyed at this. But then we really got pissed off. Because the smug little thing started BRAGGING about it. She’d like, come up to us if we’d just mucked up a skill and go, ‘What was that? I could do that!’ or something along those lines. Argh. It’s really getting quite off putting.
4. Anyway, my next favourite place is a library. Preferably my local library coz I know the set up but any library will do. Its got that library smell. And its really peaceful.
5. Ummm… this really nice shady place I found when bike riding one day.

Gtg. Homework, pets, homework, and oh, did I mention homework to take care of.

Cya peeps

* ‘ancients’. The term given to us older gymnasts who have been doing it for quite a number of years. There are about three of us ancients.
