"Neighbors" - The Academy Is...

So... I drove my beautiful stick shift today. Mom told me I was a natural at the whole standard transmission... thingie. I know nothing about car lingo, but I do know how to start a car and how to drive in circles at a nearby parking lot.

Hm. Well, I was behind the wheel of Mom's Element for a while (so huge compared to mine) just getting used to being on the streets. It'll be pretty hard when I'm alone because:
1) I don't know my way around my dorky little Mormon town that I lived in for fifteen years. I never paid attention. D=
2) It's hard for me to look back at my blind spot and stay on the freaking street.

The engine on my car (God, I love the sound of that! "My car!") needs to be jump started every time we start the car... at least until it's used to being flipped on and off. It was sitting outside Mom's house for two months now, untouched, and I only recently had time to drive it around.

I didn't stall it until at the end of the lesson mom was giving me. =D Yay!

(We had to call dad to jump start us again with the cables we just bought today. xDDD; )

I bought a key chain, too! Omg, it's this little car, that if you pull it back, it sort of moves forward! It's seriously ugly, but I love the "rrrr" sound it makes when you pull it back on your palm and lift it into the air. xDDDD; (I'm only a bit of a freak, okay? D= There was nothing else at the dollar store I liked.)

OMG. THEY. WERE. SELLING. 5. STAR. NOTEBOOKS. AT. FRED. MEYERS.



Those things were beyond beautimous. And there were funky pens! I love funky pens! Almost as much as I love new, mechanical pencils! Andandand there was this little day planner with PIRATE SKULLS ON IT.

...I have a slight school supplies fetish, I'll admit. They're just so pretty. ;0;

Well, I'll be here, playing with my new toy car key chain.

OH! And that reminds me- I need to start thinking about names for mah car. Help would be loved. =D It's like, this grayish purpleish Subaru Legacy that's two years younger than myself. One year older than my brother. It's a bit beat up, but with enough love, it'll stop yelling at me to close the driver's door when the driver's door is already closed.

Well, anyways. Name ideas?

Thanks guys~!

Later!
