Visit from Mom and other good stuff
Well, my mom finally got to see all the neato places downtown that I like to go. We went to the little book shop I did the webpage for, and she found 4 or 5 books (I found two - one is "The Accidental Memoir of a Dublin Woman"). Then we went to Best Kept Secret, a second-hand clothing store that's just a kick. She found a couple of jumpers but I didn't find anything this time. After that I stopped by the post office to mail my letter to Dan (it's 80 cents to mail stuff to Australia!) and then we went through the McDonald's drive-thru. I got a fish sandwich and a small vanilla shake. Yum. After that my mom had to go, which was sad. I almost cried. :( It was so good to see her!!! Not like I haven't seen her recently... just that it was nice to have a visitor and to get to spend some quality time, just the two of us. She had to get home to take my brother to a Youth Job Fair at the mall - so he can find a summer job. Good idea. Anyway, my car is in the shop getting the transmission torn apart so they can figure out what's wrong with it, leaving my dad with no car while my mom drove up here (I have my dad's car at school).
I'm sort of tired today. I didn't go to bed all that late last night and I got to sleep in until 10, but still, I could easily lay down and take a nap. Pretty soon I'll be hyper because I just downed a medium Coke from McDonald's (accidentally ordered a regular Coke for my mom, so I stuck that in my fridge and bought her a Diet Coke at the gas station next to McDonald's).
After mom left I came in here to try and do work, but then Becky from across the hall came in and we talked for a while... then Jess and Kim and Christine joined us and we talked for another long while. It was really fun. I let Beckles borrow my Delerium CD because she LOVES the song Sarah McLachlan does on that album. It felt like what college SHOULD feel like, the girl across the hall blasting my music out of her room. Felt very friendly and sociable, just what I needed since I was feeling lonely after Mom left.
I have been running into a lot of really, really interesting webpages lately. Some are blogs or livejournals, but others are just personal pages. They make my personal page sound awfully boring. I want to work on that. I also have this urge inside me to create so many more webpages, but how can I do that?? *sly look* I wonder if I could make a webpage about Safe Haven and have it count as my final project... heheheh... probably not since I'd have to get permission from the Safe Haven people, etc. Oh well, heck, it's worth asking, right? If only my teacher would actually REPLY to my EMAILS!!! *sigh*
I might change my icons for livejournal.. but I don't want the foxes, and I don't know if I want the stars... hmm. Something to think about.
Man, I'm in such a mood for HTML I'd be willing to help other people work on theirs right now. I wonder what I can come up with.
