Glad That Dayyy Is Over.
So on Thursday I got up early to go get my drivers license... well if it's raining or the roads are wet, you can't take your driving test. We get to the DMV (in Olive Branch, the city I live in.)& I don't have my attendance form from school, I am home schooled so there isn't a way to get one. The DMV lady tells my mom to take me to The Board of Education. So we had to drive all the way to Hernando to get my form. There is another DMV in Nesbit. So we get my form & head to the DMV in Nesbit. Well they aren't giving the driving test at 11:15 & if I waited any longer, then it would rain & I wouldn't get to take the test. :( So I drive all the way back to the Olive Branch DMV, praying the whole time that it doesn't rain before I get there. As soon as I pull into the parking lot it starts raining. But we go inside just to see if I can take it.... the lady said that it had stopped raining & they would let me take it today. THANK GOD! I got up at around 8:00 & after all of this running around, it's now 12:00 o'clock. I was nervous the entire morning I hadn't had anything to eat. it was terrible, & this is just the beginning. I get into the car to take the test, I put on my seatbelt, check the mirrors, & off I go. I blame the testing lady for everything because she told me to take a right.....but there wasn't a place to turn on the right, she finally corrects herself & says no I meant left? LADY WTF? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO READ YOUR MIND I AM ALREADY FREAKING OUT OVER HERE & YOU WANT ME TO DO THAT TOO? GAH!
There are 3 entrances into the DMV Parking lot, so when she told me to turn back into the parking lot, I assumed the first one would be fine, NOPE she wanted me to take the third one? AGAIN HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT? I finally get into the parking lot, but I stop to let this lady cross in front of me to go into the library, which is beside the DMV. & the lady isn't yelling but she had a very stern voice that was telling me to always use my blinkers even in a parking lot. So she's freaking me out even more, I don't do well under pressure or nervousness so this was pretty much killing me! I parked crooked, & when I tried to straighten it out there was a car coming behind me, I SAW THE EFFIN CAR LADY! So I said screw it, not out loud cause my momma raised me better then that. I get into the building & I had tears in my eyes, my mom is like did you pass, I was thinking oh God? After all of that I actually passed, can you believe it? yeah me neither. The lady made me freaking cry! gah. (& for the people that don't know me, I am not an emotional person at all it takes alot to make me cry!) worst day ever...but the sad thing was after I left the DMV I had to go to the dentist to get some work done. But I'd rather get my teeth drilled a million times then take that driving test again. :O after that I was fine, I came home, took a nap & ate food finally. let's just say I'm not going back to the DMV ever again.

My Truck.
I am having mixed emotions today. My parents are cosigning for my older brother a new truck, & I get his old one. me & this truck have been through a lot. well actually it's been through a lot since it's 20 years old. (89'Chevy Silverado.) it's baby blue, & rusty. has a few dents, a few new tires, & a new engine....so it's not like it's going to break down all the time, but it won't take me on any epic road trips cause I'm pretty sure the whole thing will fall apart if I try that. :) but i'm totally bi-polar about getting this truck....one day i'll be so excited that i'm going to at least have a license & a car to drive! & other days it's like hell's freezing over, because I know my parents have the money to buy me a car, & they don't want to. grr. :O Honestly I think I should be happy that I am at least getting a car which is more then some people can say; & the great thing is that I don't even have a license & the truck is mine. I am going to spruce it up a bit; golly it is 20 years old. My dad is going to help me get it repainted & get the rusty spots removed. & fix a lot of stuff on it so I'll feel better, cause I am scared to death that I'm going to break down one dayyy. :'(
but I am getting a pink emergency kit to put in my toolbox. oh wow I forgot the mention that I have a toolbox on the back of my truck. do you know of any 15 year old girl with a truck & a toolbox on that truck? you do now! lol. my brother is going to help me clean out the truck this Saturday, because it's a mess! & it smells funky too! it needs alot of work done to it, but I'm up for it!
you have to keep in mind that I've almost died in this truck (my brother had the bright idea of playing the "air harmonica" while driving. :P) I've vandalized this truck (I was mad at my older brother so I wrote jerk on the hood with dirt, I still have pictures.) but I've also had some good times in it too, I can't think of any at the moment but I am pretty sure it's happened before. So this is going to be an ongoing process, every time I add something to my truck I'll update. lol. I can't wait. FREEDOM! :)

The Vma's are back! :)
each year I look forward to the award shows. I love the celebs, the clothes, & all the action that happens.
so the night was supposed to be all about Michael Jackson... or at least it started out that wayyy. Madonna said a really good speech about the King of Pop & she closed by saying Long Live the King!; Janet Jackson did a tribute to him..... it was amazing! Katy Perry & Joe Perry from Aerosmith introduced Host Russell Brand with a cover of Queens We Will Rock You! The house-band Wale was a great band. I will definitely be listening to some of there stuff! Kid Cudi even did a tribute to DJ AM with the help of Wale.
The biggest piece of action last night would have to be when Taylor Swift won best female video & Kanye West jumped on stand, took her microphone & practically said Beyonce should have won. It's been reported that he was drunk, & in this picture taken on the red carpet he has a bottle of liquor in his hand! wtf?
Can you be any less professional? Honestly I think this might ruin his career, because when Diddy came on stage to present Best Male Video, won by T.I. who is currently in prison, he said Kanye's name & the crowd booed. oh well, he deserved it, but on his blog he said quote
"I feel like Ben Stiller in "Meet the Parents" when he messed everything up and Robert De Niro asked him to leave... That was Taylor's moment and I had no right in any way to take it from her. I am truly sorry."
let's see how he recovers from this one.
Lady Gaga is always interesting to watch, but last night performance is going to give me nightmares for the rest of my life. Don't get me wrong I love Gaga, & her dare to be different style & music, but looking like Carrie all bloody & hanging from the ceiling looking dead, isn't so great in my book. She got quite a few moon-men so I'd say she doing pretty well. I can't really say I understand why she did all the blood & junk, but it got her alot of publicity. good job! oh & did you know that her date to the vmas was non-other then Perez Hilton! omg he looked good. I haven't checked his blog today, but I am totally sure that he has alot to say about last night.
lol.
Beyonce's single ladies performance was one of the best of the VMA's. There was like a million single ladies instead of the regular three. lol. But Beyonce being the professional that she is gave Taylor Swift the chance to try her acceptance speech again after Kanye ruined it! Beyonce took home Video of the Year, which is the best moon-man of the night. she is really a great role model.
& obviously I can't forget to mention that Green Day rocked the house! Billie Joe told everyone to come on stage during their performance, haha I caught a glimpse of Pete Wentz moshing up there....priceless!
Pink's performance made me want to fly, it was great she is one great performer that I would love to watch over & over again, even though she & shakira did wear the same outfit.(I hope her & Carey Hart get back together :'( they were great together!)
All I have to say after watching this year's VMA's is what a night, I can't wait til next year!

GRO ON NFL FOOTBALL!
ok. one of my favorite bands is Green River Ordinance.
so I was watching TV the other day & a commercial for NFL SUNDAY TICKET came on, & I heard GRO's song "outside" playing.... I jumped up, thought my phone was ringing & tried to answer it! turns out GRO's song was used on the commercial. I felt really stupid after that! I love those guys. very nice people! come back to Memphis soon!

Poor Elton John....Poor Baby.
gosh I feel so bad for Elton John. He wanted to adopt a baby boy from Ukraine, but he can't. & it's only because he's too old & not legally married. (btw he's gay.) (I have nothing against gay people at all one of my close friends is gay, & if he wanted to adopt a child I say go for it!) Lev, the baby boy, is HIV positive too. :'( and the thing is Elton John could help that baby is so many ways. He has the money to support him & help him with all his medical needs too. I don't understand why adoption is so hard, a child needs a good home, & there are people out there that want to provide that for them....if these people would just let them! gah.
Official: No Ukrainian adoption for Elton John. :(

9-11-2001 A Day That Will Always Be In My Heart.
On September 11th 2001, I remember sitting in Mrs. Faust's second grade class working on an assignment. A teacher came in, & started whispering to my teacher's aid, Mrs. Tomlinson. Both Mrs. Faust & Mrs. Tomlinson went into the hallway where all of the teachers where. I guess they didn't want to scare us, by telling us what had happened, but eventually we all found out. Planes had struck the World Trade Center, & many people had died. Being in the second grade, I didn't really understand what was happening, I look back now & I feel guilty because that day I didn't really understand. I was 7 years old, & terrorism was the furthest thing from my mind. After school there was no Arthur or Dragon-Tales it was all about The World Trade Center. My mom turned off the TV, because I started crying, I was so scared that something else was going to happen.
Now 8 years later, I all look back at the people who lost their lives that day. & the families that they left behind. I can't even start to imagine how hard it is for them to watch those twin towers fall year after year, knowing that their loved ones were in there. I stopped to think today about the people who were jumping from the towers. How would you feel if you had to watch your loved one jump to their death every year? They are in my prayers every night. I pray for their closure.

Sweet Sixteen.
So February 17th is my 16th Birthday, & I wanted to have a huge sweet sixteen, but everyone has a party....why not have a party bus! I haven't really decided what kind of party bus; or where it's going to take me & my friends.
But I told my dad that I wanted to rent one, & he was like how much? & I was like $150 an hour. he was like are you crazy?.................................... and he always goes into speech mode by this time.
"That trip to Disney World for you 14th birthday..how much did you spend on that?"
"about $650........$700..........$750."
"& what tangible thing did you get out of that" (tangible is my dad's favorite word. if it's not tangible then you best just forget it!)
"MEMORIES THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME!"
I don't want to be really cliché & be like gosh! my dad doesn't understand, but this moment calls for the cliche-ness.
what did you do for your sweet 16?

Labor Day Weekend.
It's here! Labor Day Weekend. & I'm not doing anything! The Parentals are out of town camping, while me & my older brother are home alone. PARTY! I scratched that idea out of my mind about 5 seconds after it got there. My parents would KILL me if I ever had a party here. My brother wouldn't care, as long as I cleaned up & he didn't go down with me if I got caught. Let's just say I'm too scared to attempt it, so i'm not. I've only seen my dad's head spin off his shoulders once, & I don't want to relive that!
I so want to start on my schoolwork, but unfortunately I can't. so I am stuck playing farmtown & yoville til monday! I might start on my research paper, but I don't know..... tell me how your labor day weekend is going.
