I HAVE A DRIVER'S PERMIT ONCE AGAIN

EXCEPT

I AM TERRIFIED OF DRIVING

For example, I just tried to back out of a completely deserted parking lot and enter the road and then freaked out and had my mom drive around to do the errands.

... This is going to be interesting.

Hm, there were several tiny things I thought about making separate posts for, but since I wouldn't have much to say about them individually, I'll put them all here ( Read more... )

Things of note this past week:

- CFUD NorCal meetup! We more northern NorCal-ers took an exciting road trip down to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We only got lost a few times, and luckily while it was still light (if there is anything lucky about getting lost). Probably should have picked up a map at one of those AAAs we passed on the way, however ( Read more... )

Yesterday I went to the new Academy of Sciences with my aunt and my mother! This post is probably only relevant to those in the Bay Area, because most likely only those people have been excited about the reopening. But, still! If you ever go to San Francisco, definitely make time to drop by - though it's not inexpensive. :/ And it was horribly ( Read more... )

There's a tightness in my chest like I can't breathe. I'm lying in bed staring up at the ceiling - which I can't see, it being dark and all, and also there's a sleep mask over my eyes. It helps me, sometimes, that I don't have to forcibly shut my eyelids in order to sleep: I can relax more, study the unchanging darkness and try to concentrate on ( Read more... )

But second, hey, the old buddy list I haven't looked at in two years at least is still there! I guess that information was like ~*saved to the internet*~ or something instead of ( Read more... )

Today I bought a swimsuit. It's a cute one, a dark maroon tankini with a flower design on the top and the bottom is that... skirt thing over a bikini bottom. It is cute! And it is a two piece - I've had one-pieces ever since swim team, which was when I was like oh. 10. :'( I actually really like swimming, which is why I'm pretty meh on ( Read more... )

My little sister is now a high school graduate. In a few months she will be off to COLLEGE11!!!. Sob when did she get so old ( Read more... )

Saw Cloverfield today! And I actually liked it quite a bit. The shaky handheld camera shtick was pretty effective in creating the atmosphere, and of course I am a sucker for Terrible Thing Destroys [insert city here] movies. I lost track of the dialog once everyone started shouting and buildings began collapsing, but that's okay, because I didn' ( Read more... )
