^_^
Teehee, I finally got my driver's license! Watch out, Maryland! >:D

The test was actually a lot shorter and easier than I thought. I went up to the MVA yesterday (Valentine's Day) at around 8:45 in the morning, at which point I took a test out back in a secluded area that included parallel parking, the 3-point-turn, and going forwards and backwards, in addition to a lot of common sense things like turning using your turn signal and such. I passed, but I almost failed because when I started to go backwards, I failed to look behind me at first, because I was looking straight ahead at the lines to make sure I was going straight. I eventually started using the mirrors and such, and my instructor tells me I would have failed otherwise. In total, I had about 6 points in terms of mistakes, which comes from 3 areas of 2 points each, so it really wasn't any major stuff. The important thing is that I got my license, even though it's technically a provisional license that Maryland requires drivers to have for 18 months without a moving violation (in other words, getting pulled over by a cop).

From there, I went over to my mom's friend's house, where I got $20 for helping her out with her website. It was simple, common sense things like resizing pictures and adding pages, and the money was very generous of her. =)

"Nothing's happening.. nothing's happening.. it's over. People in the audience look pissed."

If you know where that's from, you sir, or ma'am, have my respect. ^_^

So yeah, I didn't really do anything after I got home until about 7, when, after settling things with the insurance company (whereas I'm aparently being charged in $600 worth of stock from my dad =_=), I drove myself over to my friend Jimmy's house. My other friend, Art, was there too, as was Jimmy's girlfriend, and we had a good time watching a movie (Paulie.. yes, the one about the parrot), playing a board game, and just hanging out. After Jimmy's girlfriend left, we played DDR and watched another movie (The History of the World.. old comedy movie, I had never heard of it). It was my first time playing DDR, and needless to say, I sucked. So Art and Jimmy played that for a while as I sat on the bed and watched. Art.. he's the kind of person who can get along with just about anyone. I'd probably regard him as the most popular kid in school; not the preppy, drug kind, but the down-to-earth, obnoxious, funny kind of popular. His wardrobe is also very diverse, and you can find him wearing just about anything, lol. Jimmy, however, is one of those people who does nothing but plays video games. He owns me, you, or anyone at just about any game, because he plays so many hundreds of hours at each one. Anywho, I was originally going to go home before my mom's 11:30 curfew, but I decided to stay the night, and I left the next morning.

As soon as I got home from Jimmy's, my brother had decided to see a movie, and I went with my family to see 50 First Dates, the Adam Sandler movie. I thought it was pretty good, but due to the story line, it was really difficult for the movie to develope. The movie is about this guy named Henry (played by Sandler) who lives in Hawaii and dates all of these tourists because he doesn't want to make a commitment. One day, however, he starts falling for a local girl, but soon finds out that she is very different from other girls. You see, ever since an accident that occured about a year ago, Lucy has lost her short term memory, and wakes up every day thinking that it's the day after the crash. In other words, Sandler finds that he can flirt as much as he wants with this girl one day, but the next day she won't even know who he is. Perfect for a guy who doesn't want a commitment, right? Eh, not exactly, but I don't want to spoil the movie for you all. :p

That's about it, I suppose. My guess is that the boards will be back as early as Tuesday.
