Driving Fun

Aiight, so about a month ago now I got my permit. Whoo-hoo! Pretty exciting stuff. It was apparent early on that I was going to have issues with the lines (I mean, c'mon, they're lines, they keep you in, I don't like being kept in :P). I'm getting better about that, though I still have a tendency to drift over to the white line. And I'm almost always going too slow or too fast, depends on the car and who I'm driving with.

Anywho, so it's been a month (about) and while I was at my Grandma's today she was like "Hey, you wanna put up some barrels and practice parallel parking?" I was like "Dude, totally!" I love any chance to goof off in the car. So we set up two barrels and I learned to parallel park. I worked on that for an hour and a half, I killed a couple of pedestrians, dented the Mercedes and the BMW, but besides that things went pretty well. And I took some pictures to show my amazing parking skills.

Probably my best park job of them all. Right next to the curb, and no dead pedestrians or dented cars. xP

This was the BMW (driven by a mister Benjamn More Weston) I kept denting. If he didn't park so damn close....

And this is the Mercedes, didn't dent him quite as much, but I think I hit him harder when I did hit him.... And this is one of my "You could've done better....a lot better" park jobs. :D


And this, well this is my oh so cheesy carmate Abidoodle. She's pretty damn funny, we had a good time listening to music, singing, dancing, laughing, you know, chillin' like sisters do. Good times.

Ya know, it's days like today that make me go "Oh yeah, Life is truly good."

Anywho, that was a majority of my day. But it, along with everything else, was oodles of fun.

Peace out, wish me luck on the driving, and have good day (night. thing. whatever.).

A Little Catch Up

Ah Easter, the time of year for peace, happiness, and joy. Kinda like Christmas, but instead of presents you hunt for eggs and a basket and get cavities. Righteous man. Course, I didn't hunt for eggs cause I was in North Carolina and the other Smiths don't let anyone over the age of 13 hunt for eggs (and didn't hunt for a basket cause I was a piss when I got home and made Cece just give it to me). I did, however, lose my phone. Correction, I lost it, but it was later found, water logged and smellin' like a shit hole. Yeah, I dropped it in the toilet. See, I'd leaned over to flush the toilet and after successfully doing that I heard a small "plop" sound, and when I looked in the toilet for the source to my horror I saw my phone swirling around with my pee. Instead of immediately acting I thought "I really should grab for that, because it will go down and then I'll be in the shit hole." but I didn't, so it did. After that I reached as far down the pipe as I could to see if I could reach it, but, of course, I couldn't. So I gave up, dried my toilet water covered arm and went to tell either Eloise or Larry that they just may be having some toilet problems in the near future and to call me when the bill came.
And Dude, that wasn't even the most exciting part of my evening (as a matter of fact, that was kind of heartbreaking). The most exciting part was Jay finding the baby squirrels. Have you ever seen a baby squirrel? They are cute as a button, and tempting enough to bring home if one doesn't have common sense (even then, it's pretty damn hard). So, while Thomas screamed like the little girl he most definitely is not, Jay handed over one of the baby squirrels and let me examine my prize. Upon examining I saw the gazillions, yes, that's an accurate number, of fleas and mites crawling over this poor little fella. I tried to convince the adults to let there little ones touch 'im, but when that didn't work I informed Jay that they were crawling with these little creatures and that we should probably put them back in their nest (the squirrels, not that fleas and mites, I didn't, and don't, know where there nest is). He obliged and we got out a ladder and I climbed up to place them back with their brethren. The mother squirrel then happily chided at us and moved her babies to a more secure location. Go in peace little friends, grow up good and strong so that you to can have babies that will fall out of badly built nests.
All in all, Easter was pretty good. I mean, my phone is now sitting in a plastic bag with strict orders to not let it out cause apparently I could catch a disease or two....whatever that is. But besides that I had a great time hanging out, talking to people I'd heard about for a majority of my Life but had never actually met. Most deff one of the best Easters I've had. In the top 15, for sure.

Ooo, and we can't forget the dyed hair. I don't have any pictures because I'm a lazy bum who doesn't like to take pictures of herself, but if I can get someone to take a picture of me I'll post it....maybe.

Spring

I so wish Spring where here, with no snow the cold is just annoying. But for now, I'll dream of Jamaica. I want to go there...doesn't it look nice?

Drink this...love my pina coladas.

And spend time with the people I love.

Hugs and Sparkles!

Two Weeks Notice

I gave mine today. Actually, it'll be two weeks and a days 'cause I agreed to work Thursday the 7th. Things just weren't going well for me, I wasn't happy. Long story short, too many issues with the boss. I'm going to miss the groomers, and Danette, but I can always stop in and see them. I don't know if I'm going to go right back to finding a job, or if I'm just going to wait until the fall when I get back from my summer travels. We'll see.

On another note, I hurt my back snowboarding. I'm not even sure what happened, one minute I was flying down the hill, next minute I was on the ground. Turns out I hurt my Sacral Iliac, so now I'm stuck doing nothing for ten days and am stuck wearing a brace until at least next Monday. Like I've said several times over the past couple of days, at least it wasn't my neck (oh so dramatic, I know) =P.

Maybe It's Just Me

But this video is hysterical. It gets me every time. He just morphs! It's insane. Everytime his voice changes I break out in fresh laughter.


And these little kids are just great. The little blond haired boy at the end is my favorite, man is he a little cutie.

Just A Little Bit of News

I, as in Olivia I, am taking Drivers Ed. Drivers of Maryland beware, I am on the road with my permit come March. Mwhahaha. And drivers of the rest of the world, I don't know when I can drive out of state (cause it's not like I was actually paying attention :P), but you too should keep an eye out. xP

Oh, and a nice big huge and pre-thanks to Danielle for changing the pick-up time to 5-9 (or 8, whatever it is) cause that'll help me in my quest for the required ten hours of evening driving. At least for a while.....anywho, sparkles and hugs to you.....Dani (just imagine Nic saying it).

So What Happens....

When your New Year resolution gets off to a bad start? 'Cause mine just did. I had minorly injured my ankle on Saturday at my soccer game, but I thought, or hoped, that it would be healed by '08. No such luck. I guess it was a minor sprain, instead of a minor twist. Go figure.
All in all it's very aggravating. Partly because I feel like somewhat of a ditz for getting hurt, partly because I actually wanted to go for a run, and partly because, like any injury, it's debilitating. It hurts to stand up for too long, it hurts to do stairs, and sometimes it even hurts just sitting around (which always sucks, throbbing pain while you're doing nothing, awful :P).
Aside from that my welcoming of '08 has been fantastic. I went to a friends house last night and had a great time. She's one of my best friends, her boyfriend and I are also really good friends, and all of her other friends are insane.....so we get along fabulously. :P We goofed off all night, shouted out the count down, and then set off fireworks. A good night by my standards.
So how'd your alls New Years Eve go?
