My life is all about cars now? XD
We've been looking at a Dodge Neon. It's, like, insanely red.
And, oddly enough, it's a 2005, but it has no CD player-- but, get this-- a cassette player.
I ask you, el-jay, what is the world coming to?
I test drove it, and it's nice. I wouldn't mind owning it, actually, but we're waiting for the next shipment to come in to see what other vehicles they have. [It's a repo.]
But, anyway, I looked in Wal-Mart and saw that their cheapest car CD player is about $50, which isn't bad. It's the whole "installation" process that freaks me out, and it'll probably triple the price.
Which led me to conclude that after I have a job, and I see how bad my workload is from school, I might try and get a part-time job or something. I mean, if I went there straight after school every day, I'd get home around seven-eight at night, which would leave me two to three hours to do homework and fool about online.
That's a big sacrifice of my personal time, though, but if it's a 40 hour work week, I'd have the weekends off.
Bah, I dunno. It's a big step. I can always use the money, but I don't know if I'm ready to sacrifice the vestiges of childhood just for some cash.
And it's also a matter of seeing if I can even get a job-- unlikely, since the last people places want to hire are unskilled workers...
I dunno, a data entry job would be up my alley. I type fast, with relatively few mistakes, I feel like.
Buuuut, it wasn't completely fruitless: I did get a steal, by buying Good News For People Who Love Bad News [Modest Mouse] for $9.

I wish Miley Cyrus hadn't suddenly become Wal-Mart's whore. Her line of clothing with Max Azria wanes from unbearably stupid to unfortunately cool.
She has this one shirt with a red police box on it, and at first I was like "OH MAH GOD DR. WHO IZ CONTACTIN ME THRU WAL-MART!!!!1" And then I realized it was from her line, and my passion for it became nil. Very disappointing.
But besides that, they're absolute saturation-bombing us with her freakin' products. If I looked, there would probably be Hannah Montana fishing poles and tampons. There's a "same thing coming from her" joke, buuuut I won't say it, cuz I'm nice <3
Urgh. I could easily come up with a rant for this, but I don't think I have the energy for it.
I'm for serious tired. Went to bed too late, got up too early.
My SuWriMo is what's keeping me up, but that should be finished by this upcoming summer.
Oh, also, sometime this week, I should hopefully be going to see the new Miyazaki movie-- Ponyo on the Cliff, or something? Whatever it is, from the previews I've seen, it. Looks. Adorable.

- List 10 random facts about you that people may or may not know about.
- Tag 10 people to do the same.
1. I love my shape. Seriously-- my boobs = the best blouse bunnies I know. I might make a few pear-shaped jokes or complain about how running hurts, but I love how I'm shaped, and I wouldn't change it for the world.
2. If/when someone tries to make an emo joke this year at school, I'm prepared to break out the "fuck you I'm indie" responses. Despite my aversion to labels, it's easier to use them in a place that sees nothing else.
3. I'm willing to admit I have a problem when it comes to compulsively wanting to straighten things, as well as having an extreme fear of germs. It's made me someone who's very skittish about hugs, and a perpetual carrier of Purell. All the OCD jokes I make hurt a little, but it's better than not laughing about it at all.
4. My friends pooled their money and bought me a used Xbox 360. XD I've only told my mother and one other friend, so-- you know now, too! I want to scream it from the rooftops-- I HAS 360! It's just a matter of picking it up from Dylan's house and getting a controller and a hard drive-- I have a 60GB hard drive on the way from Amazon, and a controller in the wings when I want it. I can't believe how lucky I am to have friends that spoil me like that, and I'm never going to stop thanking them for it. It means x499063 more to me because they bought it for me, and not my parents. [Secretly, I'm glad of this because they can't take it away if I'm an unruly bitch. Because they didn't buy it with their money, they have no control over it!]
5. I want a steady boy/girlfriend almost more than I want a copy of Resident Evil 5. Almost.
6. I've suffered panic attacks, and they frighten me more than anything else in the world. I haven't told anyone before this.
7. I've decided never to drink because alcohol has ruined my parents' lives, and I've seen what sort of a person it turns you into, and I never want to end up like that.
8. I like memes because they usually let me be egotistical. <3
9. There's some sort of mutual attraction between jerky guys and myself, especially online. Not sure if I like it.
10. One of my deep best friends wants me to come live in Canada, but I'm not sure if I want to live there. There's an art school in Texas I want to go to, and I don't know if I'm willing to sacrifice all the hot-and-dry temps and rolling fields I can find in the west.
I tag: anyone who feels like doing it. No pressure. :]
Well, tomorrow I finished up my AP work with the last piece! I finished the gridded and distorted self-portrait they wanted me to do-- it's absolute shit, I look like a smurf, and I hated doing it. I felt that it was a pointless waste of my time, and am readily will to admit it's the weakest piece I've done so far.
Tomorrow, I'm going to pack up my chair and my pencils and my sharpener and go sketch a tree. Then, I'll be completely done! Talk about a relief...
My father tried to clean the PS2 today.
It won't read DVDs, but I'm holding my rage in check. Dunno why I bother, but I'll let mother rake him over the coals rather than me. Harhar.
Buuuuu~! I can feel my summer ending, but I'm excited to be going back to school. I'm ready to see all the friends I don't see over the summer, and really get my brain active and thinking again.
Also, I had some tension about my AP Art class, but I talked to someone on Gaia, and they completely relieved me of them. I feel like I'm much more ready to tackle it and hit it over the head with a golden brick of talent. :3
Well, I hope the F-list is doing well! I know I'm good-- I has Modest Mouse, and a follow-up episode of Boston Legal, plus three more to look forward to on TV! :D
