2:11 am	I post, then 2 minutes later, I think of something else to say.. On August 13th I'm going in to get my license..pray for me..so that's exciting. I hope I pass. It'd be really upsetting if I didn't. Especially since as soon as I hit 'update journal' everybody will know that I'm going to take the test. So, um, if I don't pass..don't make fun of me, ok? :P Right. I'll pass though. I'm pretty confident. Anyway..that was my super-exciting *update* Later.

2:06 am	This week has been SO hectic at my house. My great grandma, and my step grandma both had to go to the hospital. My great grandma is in a nursing home now, hopefully only until she recovers. She's at the care home that one of my best friend's mom works at, so that's comforting. It makes me feel better knowing that she's in good hands. I love her to death. And then there's my step grandma..I only ever saw her like three times. I wasn't too attatched to her, which is almost a good thing. She died at 2AM yesterday morning. I felt bad for my step dad and everybody, but I'm glad I didn't get to know her very well. I think that would've made her death a lot harder to deal with. That sounded REALLY selfish, huh?? So, everybody, please pray for my *Granny* because I'd really really like to see her make it back home. She's not too thrilled about being stuck in a care home. Anyway..completely different topic: I just saw a movie last night called Donnie Darko. I really liked it. It was really weird, and kinda hard to follow. But the end was great. So, go rent it or something. To tell you the truth..it gave me nightmares, lol. Movies don't EVER do that to me. Ever. This was a weird one though, so..yeah. Either way I guess I'm kind of a dork. Oh well. Yeah..it's kinda sad that in all this time I've only made a few entries. It's just that like EVERY time I try to write something, I manage to get it erased. Don't ask me how. I start clickin' around, and then..poof..it's gone. So then I get all pissed and give up. For some reason, in like all of my posts, I end up complaining about something. That's not good.

12:16 am	Blah Blah Blah... I never have anything exciting to say. I started driver's ed last monday. That's going pretty well. My mom has turned into some kind of nazi. She's obeying all those stupid driving laws almost religiously now. It's making me crazy. "You can't get your license yet, you haven't driven for all 100 hours." "No friends in the car until after 6 months, even just as a favor." "I don't want you driving late at night when you get your license. Be home when it gets dark." I'm about ready to pull my hair out. Are your parents like this?? Anybody?? She better get over it. I do not believe in those laws, therefore I refuse to obey them. It's simple. She doesn't see it that way though. Of course. I NEED to get my license before school starts. I'm not spending another year on that stupid bus. Uh uh. No way. My dad is so much more lenient with me. He TRUSTS me. Imagine that. Just because I get my license doesn't mean I'm gonna pile 10 of my friends in the car and go out cruising. Ok..driving a friend home as a favor doesn't seem wrong to me. I can see how she'd get upset if I went on a road trip with all of my friends, but not something as simple as a favor. Think I've bitched enough yet? Yeah, me too. I'm all done....for now. sigh.

10:43 pm	it's been a while... Okay, so how long has it been since my last entry? Yeah. I have no idea either. In any case, I knew I'd never write anything in here. Oh well. I'm back. Summer has been pretty uneventful so far. I did 5-day clubs (a program where high schoolers from my church go and teach little kids about God), which was actually a lot of fun. I learned a lot. Some of the kids there know more about my religion than do. That was kind of upsetting. I mean, it's awesome that they know so much, but it kinda made me realize that I need to spend more time reading the Bible, and getting to know God myself. We also went to downtown Portland and taught the kids down there. Where we were, there were mainly Muslim families. It was really interesting. They were little black kids (so adorable!!), and they seemed to really love us being there. I think that took a lot of the pressure off..I was a little intimidated by the fact that they were all of a different religion, and wasn't too sure if we'd be very effective. It went great though. We got like 10 kids to ask God into their hearts. I was really excited for them. Then on the last day, we were all saying our good-byes, and this little girl named Shirley came up to me and said, "Bye, I'll see you later." And I was like, "No, we're not coming back tomorrow." And then she said, "No no no, I mean in Heaven." That really hit me. I never really thought about it like that, don't ask me why. I mean, I knew that we'd go to Heaven, but it didn't really occur to me that we'd be there TOGETHER. That doesn't really make any sense. Oh well. I know what I mean. That's all that matters, right? Right. I also went to Rosland Lake for a day. That was fun. I went with my mom and sisters and a friend. the weather was great that day. Not hot guys though :( Then I went caming with my dad. It was like a three-day family reunion thing. Argh. It was sooo boring. And, it was full of old people that I never see. Except for this one kid that has some sort of problem where if you get him talking, he won't stop til like an hour later. However, somebody failed to inform me of that, so I went and said "Hi" to him. BIG MISTAKE. I learned a lot though. At Disney World, there's a Whinnie-the-Pooh ride "with the most unusual form of transportation...honey pots!!" Yeah. A nine year old said that. Crazy, huh?! He spoke like a college professor. Then on Sunday I went to Oaks Park (an amusement park) with my family for my mom's company picnic thing. I had a ton of fun! Me and my brother, and two of his friends all hung out togther. There's this new ride called the Screamin' Eagle that we went on. It was so much fun. I would have gone on it before, but my other friends are too wussy to go on it with me...AHEM. Oh well, I got to go on it in the end. So I'm ok. Yeah..maybe my Summer hasn't been that uneventful afterall. I still wish I'd done more though. I can't believe Summer's almost halfway over!! That's insane. I feel like I just got out of school. It's really scary that I'm already having to decide what to do with myself for the rest of my life. I was thinking about the Air Force...how awesome would that be?! Then I wanna go to college in Hawaii...I love it there. Jeez..that's terrifying. By the end of this next school year, I'm supposed to know what Im doing after high school. And if I don't, I'll probably never get around to signing up for the military..which I think would be a great experience for me. I'm not looking forward to boot camp so much though. But I need to be toughened up. That'll help a lot, I hope. I always imagined this great future, and I'm really hoping that it actually becomes a reality. I would love to go into the military, and college, and have a great career that I really enjoy. If not though it doesn't really matter, I mean, it's only my future....right? Is anybody still even reading this?? Probably not. I kinda tend to ramble. Thanks if you are though :) Current Mood: contemplative Current Music: MxPx - Rock & Roll Girl (3 Comments |Comment on this)

9:25 pm	MY FIRST *OFFICIAL* ENTRY!!! Yay..check me out, I have a livejournal! All of my friends kept saying how great these things are, so, in order to be as cool as them, I decided to get one too. Typical non-conformist thing to do, right? Right. So anyway..for all of you that don't know me, I'm from Oregon; which at times really sucks..rain..argh. But I suppose it has its benifits. I like the trees. Yep. Oh. And the fact that we're on the coast..I love the beach. Good times.. Um, there isn't a whole lot to say. I seriously doubt that I'll ever enter anything on here, but it was fun to make, I guess. This is actually the second time I've made this entry, but last time it got erased..because I'm an idiot, and closed the window..good job Dani. So I'm kinda trying to remember what I said last time, because I know there was a lot more than what I have now. Hmm.. I think it was 3:30am last time too, so I don't really recall what I wrote. Oh well. I guess it doesn't matter much anyway, I really doubt anybody's actually gonna read this. If you are though, thanks...and sorry it's so boring and unorganized. Well, I think that's really all I have to say, so..until next time. Oh yeah. By the way, Corrie, sorry I keep stealing your little asterisk things, but the're so *cute* :P Current Mood: amused Current Music: Rufio - Save the World (2 Comments |Comment on this)
