Weird!

I moved my computer into my room! So now I can stay up as late as I want, without bothering anyone. Because right now, my parents are redoing their room, so their room is located in the area where my computer WAS. And I'm all "hey! you! You're really hindering my online life!" so I did it!

While my parents were out. But my mom didn't mind! She actually helped me fix up my computer area. So now I'm sitting in my room, with a new view. Although my back IS towards my bed, so I can't even look at it.

Oh man. I can't wait until I have my laptop, where I can just ... Not have to sit around THIS thing. *Looks at computer*

Anyway!

I've been going on goodreads a bit more, and it's INTENSE. No. I'm actually rating books I've read. Before I was only doing a select few books, because I'm weird. Even though I LOVE the internet, and half my life is on there, it's like... I don't like random people knowing information about me. I'd rather these people ASK ME, specifically. You know? So... Yes. A little weird thing there.

>.<

Today I just spent the day on the computer, puttering around. It was fun. I love summer break.

Epic Fail All Around

I got a new pair of shoes yesterday. They were the first pair I saw, and I just grabbed them. Usually I hate shoe shopping, but it was painless yesterday. So now I have a pair of black regular shoes, no converse. AND I AM GLAD! MY FEET ARE GLAD! Whoever says converse Chuck Taylor shoes are comfortable, they are LYING! They are lying more than Tiger Woods tried to deny his cheating!

(I don't know if he DID deny, but whatever. You get my allusion!)

So here's a memory of my childhood: When I used to get a new pair of shoes when I was younger, my dad would ask me: Are they fast? So to test them out, I would go running around my backyard and try them out. This happened for every single pair of shoes I got. Seriously. It was THE way to test out my shoes. And every single time, I'd PUT MYSELF TO THE LIMIT, to try and get my shoes to be awesome.

They usually made the cut.

On a random note: I had light up shoes! DID YOU?

Today I went to an art opening at an art gallery. My father had a piece in the show, so there was a person connection there. OH MY GOSH! One of the most boring experiences of my life. It didn't help that I was tired, but sheesh, very much an epic fail. Plus it was so hot in the room, it was like !! OPEN A WINDOW! However, there weren't any windows to open--epic fail.

I was able to sit with my cousin, though. We discussed epic fails (ala teachers, work) and just kind of chit chatted. It was kind of nice. I was also able to see some family I didn't even know I have... The usual, of course.

SO! My dad kept on telling people that I am going away to Sault college next year! HE'S ACCEPTED IT! HE IS ACTUALLY SPREADING THE NEWS NOW! The reaction for the majority is "why?" but for the minority, they're excited! That's cool, right? Now I just have to get my mom to start telling people. When I tell people I'm going to Sault in front of her presense, she goes all "not really, she thinks". !! WENCH! THAT'S NOT THE CASE!

But whatever.

Before the show, my dad, and two neighbours went out to dinner. We were planning on going to this restaurant that was a MADHOUSE. It's one of those bar/restaurants, and it was full of cougars! In the sense of older woman, not big cats. It was kind of funny, but it was awkward. So we walked down the street a bit more and ended up at a quiet chinese restaurant.

We go there often, so we knew what to expect.

I got my regular meal, and it was good. Although I got apple juice, instead of my regular cola. I thought I should at least ACT healthy. Hahaha. For the record, my regular meal is chicken balls, chicken fried rice and an egg role. Or sometimes even a spring roll; Whatever I feel like, really.

Yummah!

i finally did it.

I'm eating some pretzels right now, as I type this. As in, I'm chewing them and getting ready to swallow. Yummay!

There's just something about the salty treat that I love. True fact.

It was my dad's birthday today. So when he picked me up from work, I asked him where he wanted to eat. Because food = love on your birthday. Actually, food = love just in general. You can't deny that fact.

^__^

Today my dad and I went to a talk thing. This university student working on her PhD was there, so we did a survey thing for her. Or my dad did, anyways. I couldn't. I COULD'VE, but I didn't have the second requirement to do the survey. It was disappointing, because there was a prize of a $50 gift card to the mall. I did grab a few YOU'RE A GUEST IN THUNDER BAY for my American Twin. It wasn't a ploy her to see the awesome-ness of my city or anything--It was just so she'd have something to read about my city and the stores here!

WOW! I totally forgot: I worked the cash machine today! I made a few mistakes with putting the amount of money the person was giving me (a hundred, opposed to ten), but it went okay. The thing I was MOST worried about (giving them change) wasn't much of a problem. This will probably change, because the people were giving me bills, opposed to loose change and stuff. OH MAN! PANIC! But I kept calm: Because Leah, Homer and Ellie were with me!

I think he was surprised when I said YES, I'LL DO IT! because he was all "... You'll have to use the calculator," that I CANNOT MASTER! But I was all "I'll do it!" Because I was thinking of the awesome trio that should come into my life, from Tennessee AND books! TRUE FACT!

But don't worry, I didn't grab the books on my city to get that to come true.
