"These brakes SUCK!!!"

I finally drove yesterday! In our new car to be exact. I was so scared I would wreck it and then we would have to get another car. It was soooooo FUN though! I was freaking out when cars were behind me though and I kept muttering to myself, wishing they would just pass me since I was only going 40 in a 55 mph zone. I drove all the way to the Eden building in Knox(ish) where mom made me do a donut so I could get used to slow turning, because I frankly suck at that.
Those brakes are so touchy! You barely have to use any pressure and you slam into a stop. I kept using a lot of pressure because it didn't feel like I was pushing on the brakes hard enough, so there were some jerky stops. Mom drove to Cranberry and we saw a movie starring 50 year olds waaaay past their prime (The Expendables...I found it hilarious...Stallone running...PFFFT!). After the movie I got to drive around the back parking lot and practice my turns and blinker usage and staying on my side of the road (it must be easier in Europe, because I don't like the right side of the road, I don't know why). I'll tell you one thing though: I'm a damn good parker. One time I parked in the very center of a space! Never once was I crooked. I felt so proud of myself. So far, i think I've only made mom fear for her life twice and that involved a fast turn and a hard stop. I'm doin' pretty good! I can't wait to drive the van (I've driven it once and I think i might have liked it better than the car)
Driving is scary as hell, but so addicting and fun it's crazy!

I'm so lazy

That's 2 days in a row I didn't get out out of bed before ten-thirty. Of course that doesn't mean I wasn't awake before ten-thirty, no, I woke up about every hour (like usual). Do you want to know how i know? I GOT A NEW CLOCK!!!! that's right, I have a new clock. i LOVE clocks, especially the ones where you can see the hands moving on the face, as in NOT digital. My mom got it for me because I've been asking for one. She went out of her way and bought a $3 clock for me. Awww, thanks mom! It reminds me of the clock that was in the girl's locker room at school, though this one isn't two minutes late...No, i do not have a clock fetish...just in case you were wondering *shifty eyes* My awesome new clock is currently ticking away on my bookshelf and along with all the other crap on that thing it looks at home.

I still haven't finished A Separate Peace and i said i was going to finish it a week ago...I honestly don't know why I'm putting it off. I'm more than halfway done and I think I'm going to have to read it over one more time before I start answering the questions...I don't really remember much of what's happened in the beginning and all the feelings going on. Yeah I suck, I know, you don't have to tell me. I still have until the 18th. I'm dedicating tomorrow to that little book so I can be done with it and read Artemis Fowl.

This post is going to be looooong. Oh well XD. My dad got me a sparkly water/suspension (science term ftw) ball that lights up when you hit it against a hard surface. He got it at a book store...can you believe that? And better yet, he had a coupon so he could get it for free (it was originally $10). When he dropped it into my hands i was like WTF to which he shrugged and said, "It was free, so I figured, why not?" they also got me three bags of chicken nuggets *drools* I'm so spoiled :)
