It's still July,

which means this post is okay. I haven't missed a month again. Actually the only reason I'm posting now is because I promised Lisa I would today. So, here we go.

I am in the process of attempting to get a job somewhere. I've applied to a few places, but no one's gotten back to me yet. I want to go out again soon and hand in resumes to some more places. I want a job. Summer is so boring. I wake up, and have nothing to do. Well, I can read or play piano or sew or something. And I could work with Diego. But reading too much at once makes me restless, I only know five songs on the piano, and I haven't found any new ones I'd like to know and for a while I wasn't able to sew because I didn't have the right zipper to continue and I didn't know how to thread a bobbin on my mom's machine. It was weird. There's some knobby thingamahoozawhatsit that I had to pull out to make it work. Who knew? And working with Diego doesn't take too long, several minutes at the most so he doesn't get over-tired. I just want to have something purposeful to do.

I saw Transformers yesterday with Tash and Chrys. I'm not entirely sure what I was expecting it to be, but it turned out to be a pretty fun film. Long, but fun.

I had a weird dream some night. I don't remember which night it was, so don't ask. I just remembered it when I was reading what I had posted before. I mentioned something about how Kyra is growing so fast. Well, in my dream, she had all her teeth and had lost one already! And even then, right after the tooth fell out, the one underneath it was halfway in. It was weird. And scary. Not quite sure what it means. I'm actually surprised that I remembered it. Usually I don't remember my dreams. Until much, much later, or if it occurs again. That happens to me. I have dreams that I remember having when I was younger, but they've changed somehow, with different people or people added or people who were there before but didn't have faces or something. I don't know. It's odd.

I love Chrystal right now. Well, not that I hate her the rest of the time, but right now I'm uberly loving her. Yes, I just said uberly. Deal. Anyhoo, the reason I like her so darn much right now is because she has very kindly downloaded some games onto my computer that we used to have way back when. A really long time ago. I actually didn't play them much, if at all, since I was so y0ung and my (wonderful) selfish older siblings hogged them all the time. Anyway, the games are Pharaoh's Tomb, Commander Keen, and Crystal Caves. Awesome games. It's taken some time to get used to them, since I don't think I've really played them before, but they're so much fun! I love it. I still pretty much suck at Crystal Caves and Commander Keen, but I'll improve. Hopefully. That would be sad if I didn't, because these are games my siblings played when they were quite a bit younger than I am now.

So.....I think that's it right now. Fantabulous, hey? Yeah, I'm boring. Now maybe you understand why I don't update as often anymore. But, again, I will try. So, on that note, oh yeah!

I don't believe I've mentioned my driving lessons at all. Well, as some may know, I attained my learner's license in March, and soon afterward completed in-class sessions of the Young Drivers course. I am now doing in-car lessons with an instructor about once a month. I think I've had three so far. I really don't like them. They're so stressful and just so....I don't even know. But it's scary. I think next time he's going to make me drive on the freeway. I've never driven on the freeway before. It's scary. And fast. And scary. And I don't like his new car. The old one had a really touchy gas pedal, which was similar to the van's so it was familiar and I was used to working with it. In the new car it takes quite a bit to get my speed up, and it's harder to notice when I do speed up gradually and go above the limit.... but it only happened once. That he noticed. It's not fun being a learner. People are so rude (Jared, Chrys)! Although I understand why some people have almost no patience with us, at the same time you never know how long a person with their L has been driving. With an N you know it's been at least a year, so obviously they know how to drive. But with an learner, they could have been driving for a day or a year. You never know, really. I don't really know where I'm going with this. I don't think I am, really. So I'll just stop. Now.
