I passed my road test! After two months of trying to take the damn test, I finally passed!!! No longer do I need to hitch rides from my friends or beg and plead to get a ride to work… and risk being late!

Although I am so happy about it, I am also sorta sad. Now I can drive on my own, and I feel like an adult and tere’s no going back. I don’t know, I guess I’ll get used to it, but its a BIG change.

…they are just so relaxing. Anyways, its been a few weeks since my last update (basically I lacked the will to write, code, or do anything productive).  At the moment I am lacking any will to write in a cohesive manner, and thus my everywhere-and-anywhere post begins.

First off, school. Still sucks. Nothing new. They didn’t offer inline skating and I was pissed and was then forced to take “Adventure Games.” Basically, its s teamwork based class. Normally I hate it, but this year it is especially bad. Nothing better than having to listen to whiny freshmen, let alone be forced to be within 2 feet of them for more than a couple minutes. Luckily the unit is almost over.

About 2 weeks ago, it was my 17th birthday and I can honestly say it is no different than being 16. (Note to self, update about page…) . After weeks of waiting, I finally bought a Zune. I am well aware it has a bad reputation (according to many), but I love it. I always had problems with Ipods in windows so I figured I’d give the Zune a shot, and I am impressed. It doesn’t seem as fragile as an Ipod which is nice, but… like the iTunes software, it is bloated and slow. =

The Junior Prom was last Saturday and I have to admit, I had fun. In school, I’m one of the people who hate being around other people, let alone when I don’t have to. For some reason I was actually able to let my guard down and enjoy myself without worrying too much about what everyone else was thinking/doing. It was a nice change of pace—however I am back to my paranoid ways.

So that right there Ladies and Gentlemen wraps up my weeks in 7 or 8 sentences. Oh boy, do I lead an action packed life! </sarcasm>

Today was one of those days that was crappy, and seemed crappy, but it turned out to be one of the best days of my life. Like most things, its best to start at the beginning, so I will

I woke up with a headache, wasn’t too bad, but still irritating. Ate my breakfast and went to school. Oh the wonders of school! Spanish period 1/2, SSDD. Followed by everyones favorite class “Gym!” Two Laps around the track then we played volleyball. During the period, the most amazing thing happened I, the most athletically-inept person, was able to play the game extremely well. This may not seem like a big deal to anyone else, but I am amazed. Never before was I able to play a sport as well as I did today!

Activity/Lunch came next. Not too much happened, although my headache did get worse.
English, the period I had been dreading all day was next. I was expecting to present my speech, which I am in NO WAY prepared for. Instead of presenting, we did notes the entire period. (I was quite relieved.)

Finally, art class, I usually am extremely bored with it, but not today! For our next project, we were to create a collage-type picture of which we were to eventually paint. The requirements were…

• A World Famous Person
• A World Famous Location
• A Man-made Object
• A Pattern or Design

For mine, I did Judy Garland standing in front of the Hollywood Sign with a spiral-like pattern in the sky, and finally with Dorothy’s House from The Wizard of Oz falling from the sky. All in all a pretty interesting collage(-type thing)!

Tomorrow I start sketching/painting it! I can’t wait.

By the end of the day, my head was KILLING me. Rode the bus, came home, finished my rice from breakfast, drank soda (caffeine should help right?). I woke up and it was 7:00. The guy who is redoing our bathroom was still here (he’d been here for over four hours). I went out had more soda and took an Advil, and finally my headache went away.

I got on my computer to check my email and see what I’ve missed the last few days in the online world. I get on and talk to Sarah a friend from SwayForum, then Heather (another one of my friends came on).

After talking for a while (with Heather), we finally confessed that we had a thing for each other (Like OMG!, I’m sorry, I had to ).

EDIT:

Taken on Crazy Day at school. Heather is the one on the far left.

Then my grandma came over and told me she’s giving me my uncle’s old jeep and we can go take my test next Friday!!!

Its now about 10:50 and I’m off to bed, (had to get this entry in). That about wraps up my crappy turned good day!

The last days have been crappy. But in order to keep this post somewhat upbeat, I won’t go into it. Just keep in mind if you are still curious, check out the last 3 posts, minus the Wizard of Oz one. Anyways…

Friday the 13th, like it said in the last post was crappy, so I when I got back from school, I fell right asleep. My mother woke me up because my grandma and my aunt were here; they were on their way to Albany to catch a plane the next morning (They’re in Myrtle Beach and didn’t take me!) After I woke up and they left, I turned on my computer and checked my mail etc, and I found a couple layouts for my sisters blog and one was of a dog. Out of nowhere she asked through AIM…

“Do you want a golden retriever?” I then replied with, “why> (note the type-o), then she said, “Do you?” I responded with “Kinda why?

Then, curious, I ran down to her room and my mom was laying on her bed and she told me they found a breeder outside Mansfield and we were going to go look at some puppies.

The next day, I woke up early and was excited all day (although I didn’t let on). My brother and sister however were ecstatic and could barely sit still. 3:00 FINALLY rolled around and we piled into the car and headed to Mansfield.

As the woman lived nearly an hour outside Mansfield (a two-hour trip for us), we met halfway in Wal-mart. We sat there and waited and waited, then finally the woman showed up.

In her car were 2 puppies and the father. We all got out of the car and looked at the puppies. They were so small! We looked at the two and we decided on the darker of the two; and as it was extremely cold, my sister held the puppy and wrapped her coat around the dog. It was so cute.

My mom did the paperwork and all the other stuff required (its a pure-breed dog!) and we came home. The trup home was rather uneventful as was the rest of the evening.

You would not believe how well behaved this dog is. Because it was an outside dog, it only goes outside to go to the bathroom (my mom LOVES this), and it doesn’t bark. Its extremely patient, but gets playful at times. An AMAZING dog.

I do still miss Gizmo though…

Blogathon 2006 is Officially over. Im tired, as I stayed up the entire 24 hours, even though the power went out 0.0 . Oh well, what can you do. Thanks to everyone who came and checkout out our blog. It will remain online as long as it is desired by the other swayers. Thanks!

Now off to bed!
