Hey.

Going to be gone all day tomorrow. Too bad, gonna miss KotF for a day... oh well! Still very excited!!

Need to work on my KotF essay, too... and my normal homework, but that's somehow less important.

Heso! Yay, Colly can finally drive! It has been a long and tiresome process. Colly's parents are pretty much useless, so it fell entirely to me to prepare her for license obtaining! You take the written test while in high school, and from there it's easy to finish everything else, right? Yes, well, since someone's parents didn't get things sorted out in time, all proof of having passed that test expired! So she had to re-take it! Lots of driving around and three failed attempts and six months later... it was time for the road test! Now, when I took it, you were allowed to fail one part and still get the license. Counting on that, I didn't worry about teaching her how to parallel park... it's a useless skill completely anyway. Apparently... you have to get a perfect score in everything now! So, failed attempt because of parallel parking. That meant that I had to learn how to parallel park (which I somehow passed on my test anyway in a car I had never driven before? I'll never know how I pulled that off) again, so I could teach Colly. That... is really tough in a Jeep, believe it or not. You know how they tell you to turn the steering wheel all the way to the right? When you do that in a Jeep, it ends up perpendicular with the curb...

But we eventually got it, and then Colly did it, and passed the driving test and has a license! Yay! Now just to get that old junky car working again...

Also, Puyon's play was good.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Hi! You need perfect scores in everything to pass the driving test in your state? Wow... I don't know if CO is still the same as it was when I took my test but back then it was on a point system and so long as you didn't run a red light or crash you were pretty much sure to pass.

I made it back to my apartment. Currently trying to catch up on a bunch of stuff (including KOTF post counting and PV strips). I don't think I'll do anything fancy tomorrow, just some shopping and stuff.

Hi!

Yeah, we do too need perfect scores in our state to pass the driver's test and the learner's test.

I'm finally going to see my friend after a whole year tonight at my friend's party. It's gonna be wild to my sis again, yay! It's been quite brutal these past few weeks at school... Mainly due to drama hitting me here and there, not to mention the school work. Finishing some posting then I'll do something else.

Peace out.

P.S I'M A POKEMON MASTER NOW, WOO!

Greetings!

Yaaay! My play was good! Though it wasn't necessarily my play, I was just told to do stuff, and be loud. Which apparently.... I'm loud? Teachers always say that I'm really quiet, so.... I guess it's natural that I shocked myself. I think. Practicing the same 2 lines for 5 months while learning how to sing decently and loudly? I'm going for it again next year!

Oh yeah, Colly can drive now. Conglaturations!

Perfect score? Ouch...

'Ello. Busy, busy year so far, but things are beginning to calm down a bit. Just a little.
On another note, I went to the Pokemon Black and White tour two weeks ago. It was quite fun, even though I technically didn't do much. The whole mall was packed with people of all ages. I guess I shouldn't have been so surprised, but...I still was.
I might provide a link for the pictures that I took on the tour, if anyone's interested.

Well, going to a karaoke place later today with a friend. I'm excited, because I've never done karaoke with a friend before. Whoo~

Now while we do need a perfect score, the test itself is very simple.

Start the car, stop at stop sign, turn right. Parallel park between cones (grr), continue down the parking lot, stop at stop sign, turn left onto the street empty street. Continue down the street, pull off to the right, back up. K-turn to go the other direction, stop at stop sign, turn right onto the other street, then turn back onto the starting point.
Minus the whole parallel parking, the test as a whole sound simpler than some other tests I've heard about.

Hey.

So, out of 8 plays at Fest today, 3 moved on. We were one of those 3.

I am extremely conflicted right now.

On one hand: RIDICULOUSLY EXCITED I CAN'T BELIEVE WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!

On the other hand: ...awesome, states are on the day of Regionals for DI.

Awesome.

Moi,

Gah. Yesterday, I was so tired from not sleeping that much for this week, I went straight to bed when I got home. When I woke up, I relized that I had been asleep for quite a while and was really hungry. Apperently, not eating for 18+ hours can make you tired, your mental state a bit off, and you start to not feel hungry. Heh, well I'm never doing that again...I hope...

Anyway...yeah, since everyone seems to be talking about driving...well...I'm still about 1 1/2 years away from being able to take a driving test...But what I can say is that I will probably be a very careful driver and I'll know what people to be annoyed at. (Those stupid people on the highways who weave in and out of lanes, most likely endangering the people around them, just because they want to get somewhere 1-2 minutes earlier....)

Hey!

Last night was fun, but I was surrounded by idiots... At my friend's birthday party, why did 4 of my friends have to go down the street to deal marijuana among each other? The county sheriff came shortly after and got them busted. I understand they're 18 and are allowed to smoke, but they've gone WAY too far and proved how foolish they are by dealing an illegal drug. I wonder if they'll show up to school on Monday, now...

Well, see ya and peace out!

Hey.

The thing is, the only surprising word in your post, Metal, was the word "sheriff" since we don't have one 'round these parts, while we do have kids getting busted for marijuana 'round these parts.

ANYWHO we videotaped our DI performance today to see what it looks like and... I realized I make the most ridiculous expressions ever. It was wonderful.

Heso! Two badges in to Pokemon White, Colly's just as far into Black. This city is freaking huge, man. Finally a city that looks like a city! But I have to wonder... on those streets where there are always a bunch of people running around... where the heck do they come from? And where do they go? Are they all running in circles, just to make the place look busier? I don't understand...
