They'll happen eventually. I just need to remember to try taking some when I have both the time and energy. Plus, I want to look as impressive as possible when I take them. (I know I'm not going to be as big as I wanted. The secret to pushing myself really hard at the gym is work-related stress, which I don't want.)

I've learned that I can do exciting and extroverted things as long as I'm not alone, even metaphorically.

The music is all picked out, and a trainer at my gym, who competed before, helped me get the first third of a routine down.
