Well, the good State of Maine has granted me a driver's license. I don't know how the hell it happened, because I was 100% positive that I'd end up failing, but somehow it happened. The driving gods are on my side! Except it doesn't really help me that much because a.) I don't have my own car b.) my parents at the moment will only let me drive to dance, the library, and maybe Isabella's house and c.) I won't be able to drive anyone until January. But it's still a license. Even though it won't be a real photo ID license for a few weeks. But whatever.

Also, as a general note that nobody cares about because it's FFX-related: 255 turns for a boss is a REALLY long time. Therefore, no matter how easy it may sound, do NOT use Death Sentence on an Original Creations boss in the Monster Arena. Use Aeons instead because Aeons are full of general win.

Sorry I couldn't make the Friends mini-party today, but today is kind of a crazy day. I didn't get home from dancing with the little kids/driving until 1:00, and since then I've pretty much just eaten and plopped my butt in front of the internet. And besides, driving was Not Fun. My mom thought it would be a Brilliant Idea for me to practice parallel parking at the beach. Y'know what? There is TRAFFIC at the beach. Not much, of course, but enough to effectively scare me. So we're confining our parallel parking lessons to the driveway for the time being.

I am currently downloading useless fluff huge-ass "Kingdom Hearts" music files. Usually I just stick to midi format, but for some reason the whole KH soundtrack isn't available in midi format, so if I want to get the tracks that aren't in midi format I have to download them as mpeg files. Takes about 10 minutes per file, but oh how shiny! 

Also? Nero Vision Essentials apparently doesn't like it when I make a movie with all my Revenge of the Sith footage and set it to "Anakin's Betrayal" from the soundtrack. I tried to do so four times yesterday, but right when I was almost done, the program would close with a message stating something like "Nero Vision Essentials has encountered a problem and must shut down. We are sorry for the inconvenience." It got really frustrating so eventually I just gave up. (Of course, I could just do it on Windows Movie Maker, but then I'd have to load in "Anakin's Betrayal" as a mp3, and I'm too lazy to do that.)

Yesterday I watched Jesus Christ Superstar, which is a Very Amusing Movie. Through pretty much the whole movie, my mom was wondering aloud how in the world that movie was rated G, because there's a lot of non-G stuff in it. My favorite scene is the one with Herod. I'm going to have to find the soundtrack (which is somewhere in the house) and put that song on my iPod because it's Oh So Amusing. But one thing I don't like about the movie is that it just ends with Jesus' death. That's kind of a depressing way to end things. I mean, the whole point of his death is that so he can rise again.

Hmm. I suppose I have to go write essays now. Or procrastinate not do things right away.

I should have posted earlier about this, but I got my permit on Monday night! (Not that I wouldn't have anyway--the test was super easy.) So I drove home from drivers ed that night and then yesterday I drove to my dad's office to shred old papers for him (only 'cause I get paid for it). Which reminds me, one of the papers I shredded was a permission form for bellringing--and guess whose it was? MITCHELL'S. I thought for a moment about saving it from the hungry jaws of the shredder so I could give it to Shaylagh so she could treasure it forever and ever... but then I didn't. Hee hee hee.

Which reminds me, are we going to get together with Clarisse anytime this week (apart from kidnapping her to watch a certain 80s movie)? I need something worthwhile to do (besides trying to force myself to write chapter 4 of The Power of Light). And I want all y'all to have the pleasure of seeing me DRIVING A CAR. 

Well that's no fun--apparently part 3 of The Shoebox Project is 'damaged and cannot be repaired.' That's quite stupid. Destroyed humor between the Marauders is no fun at all. Maybe things will be better tonight if I read it on my dad's computer. I hate my stupid internet connection.

Maybe this has to do with my reading of The Shoebox Project, but I've been in a rather humor-writing mood today. Problem is, I'm killing any bunnies that don't have to do with The Power of Light. Because I've learned by now that writing mulitple things doesn't get things done any quicker. I wish I could go back to the days when I could write 118 pages in less than a month, but considering that back then my writing style sucked and I couldn't plot my way out of a paper bag, perhaps not. But what's better: bad writing that comes quickly or semi-good writing that comes slow as a three-legged turtle?

Which, by the way, is about the speed that The Shoebox Project is loading. Actually, scratch that. I'm talking about a one-legged turtle when it comes to that.

Quote of the Day:

"Just listen to me. I'm not going to let anything happen to you. I might not know what I'm doing but I'll figure it out. If I can kick drugs I can deliver a baby. Let me explain. I'm a drug addict. I was a drug addict. I'm clean now..."
--Charlie, from season 1 episode 10 of Lost
