You know how sometimes people on your friendslist post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when were they working THERE? Since when were they dating HIM/HER? Since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.

Please copy the topics below, erase my answers and put yours in their place, and then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration. One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out. :)


There are probably only one or two people who don't know the answers to all these, but I feel like procrastinating on my hw so I'll post it anyway.

( Holy shit this is long, I totally understand if you skim. )

I haven't posted since the beginning of summer, so I guess that's in order. I kinda feel bad for how lonely my lj has been recently, and really, it's all Twitter's fault. All the things I normally wrote about I can now just pop onto twitter and get off my chest in one minute. The one thing twitter can't provide is cohesiveness, but I guess I don't really mind?

Anyway (Haha, I'm pretty sure I use that word in just about every single post I make. I noticed because I can't even remember the last time I typed it). So summer happened. My internship was actually really awesome. I worked for an AMAZING company. ( And now I'm going to blab about it for a while. )

So initially I made this post to talk about school, but then I ended up rambling about work. Well. Think I will just post this now, and maybe I'll talk about school later today.

Okay fine, I'll join the club. Usually when I do these things absolutely no one posts (This is probably because I'm rather boring. But surely you can think of one tiny little pointless thing to tell me, can't you?), but maybe this time will be different.

❝i've always wanted to tell you❞


I would also like to point out that the tracking in that link is driving me nuts. Why so squished?

Frankie: So ready for Spring Break? What are you going to be doing?
Me: going to the beach with my mom for a night
Me: buying new jeans
Me: playing with my kitty
Me: ...and those are all the plans I have so far
Frankie: Old ones wearing out?
Me: lol actually one pair got a hole in the crotch :(
Frankie: That's what happens when you play with your kitty too much.
Me: ..................
Me: no. fail.
Frankie: They like to claw at stuff. Their hooks get stuck in the zipper and can tear seams out.
Me: ...nice save
Frankie: I'm good.
Me: lol

Wow, what a day. And it's only 9:30.

I still don't have my license. My appointment was at 9, right when the DMV opened, so my dad and I got up early to practice driving, hoping the test wouldn't be canceled. I did fine, it's all just slush now, and I wasn't nervous at all. But then we went into the DMV office and they had canceled all the appointments. I mean, I get it, but..... it still sucks. The roads were fine :/

And to top it all off, on the way home..... my dad gets pulled over. Was doing 38 in a 25, and a sneaky little hidden cop car pulled him over. Luckily it was Washington County police and not Beaverton, so they guy was nice and only gave him a warning.

So now I am sitting here wide awake at 9:30 when I don't work till 2, all dressed and with all my makeup on. I can't go back to sleep. Plus, I'm either gonna have to take my test in Corvallis with Ben's car and lose my hours of practice on the drive test route AND have to learn a new car, or wait till spring break or even summer. This suuuuuuuucks. I wanna get the damn thing over with. My dad says he's positive I would have passed today.

Okay. Guess I'll go play Okami or something for 4 hours :/

I failed. Because of the fucking defroster.

My dad told me to turn the fan on when I got in the car but I forgot. He should have just left it on, he knows I have the memory of a goldfish and there was no way I was going to remember it when I was nervous. So the guy stopped me at one point and asked me if I could see. I thought I could, I mean, I guess looking back the windows were a bit foggy but it wasn't really impairing my vision enough for me to notice. I told him I could see fine and I actually had no idea why he had asked until he told me. The test seemed way short so I think he just took me back after that point.

The only other things I did wrong were not looking in the mirrors when stopping to make sure the person behind me knew I was stopping (Who does that? Really?) and not signal when coming back in from the curb (even though there was no one around me at all). I think I probably would have passed if not for the damn defroster, that was the main reason he mentioned.

So anyway I have to wait 7 days and then I can try again. I'm so angry, I would have had the damn thing. Argh.

SO I'm taking my drive test tomorrow morning. Oh God. I haven't been this nervous since like... idk my first few dates or something. Aack.

My dad and I went driving today for like 3 hours around cedar hills. We managed to catch another kid taking his test at the DMV so we played Follow that Car! which is actually kinda nerve-wracking, but at least I have an idea of where they might take me. I really hope I remember everything and don't do anything dumb and argh. I still don't understand why society wants to make me drive-- are they dumb? Do they WANT things to get run over? Seriously. Not really very smart, but oh well.

Anyway I'm gonna stop typing before I psych myself even any more. Will post with results tomorrow!

I wanted to post this a while ago but I forgot. Fail.

THE TVTROPES MEME

K, go!
