Ever seen a 6ft Frog?

Yeah, I haven't either. But I just read this short story about 6ft Frog that fought a huge worm underground and saved Tokyo from a devastating earthquake. He asked for help from this guy. It was a good story. More I think about it, the more I like it. I only have one story left in this short story book. And I don't have a book lined up to read next. So sad. I have 2 books on hold at the library, but neither is in yet. Hmmmm, it bites.

And my Netflix are lagging because of the mail and the holidays. I actually went to Hollywood Video last night and rented 2 movies. I feel kinda guilty spending that much money, but I need something to keep me busy at nights after class while I'm waiting for my new books to read, my latest Netflix and all my TV shows to come back.

I'm taking this martial arts / self-defense class. I try to go 3 times a week (usually only go twice though, but I'm going to try to start going more). I went last night and there were three other boys there too. One is new, but has definitely had some martial arts training before. Not bad. Another, I see every once in awhile. He's really good and pretty nice. Never been bothered by him. But this other guy is really creepy. I think he's fairly young, maybe 22 or so. I think he's almost a black belt and sometimes my teacher lets him teach the little kids' class before mine. So, he totally thinks he's tough shit. Anyways, there was this one point that I was standing between this creepy boy and the new boy. We were practising some kicks and punches while in a line. Well, both boys on either side of me, were puffing loudly with each punch and kick. I actually had to bite my lip from laughing. All I kept thinking was that it sounded like I was in some kind of wind tunnel between these two. It was actually really funny. Then, later, I was paired up with the creepy boy practising some move or another. And he actually mumbled, "You smell nice". I shot him a glare and asked what he said, he just shook his head and said, "Nothing". It was creepy...

Then I went home and watched, "Must Love Dogs". I needed a good romantic comedy, preferably with John Cusak. It was okay. Definitely not as good as, "Say Anything". It was okay. Even though, it's all cutesy and life will never be that way for me, it still gives me hope that one day I might meet a guy that I will fall for that much (and he for me, of course). I guess it's that hope that keeps me going. That and the fact that I'll be able to defend myself if I ever need to, from my martial arts class...
