Things of mine to see:

---

I'm sorry I haven't been around much lately. I broke my computer from upstairs, and I'm slowly trying to get it back up to working order. This time I have a Linux install as well as windows though. :)

Today was extremely boring. We went school shopping. Pencils, pens, paper and all that stuff that ends up in the garbage anyways. It took ALL DAY LONG!! But I got to buy something I want: I got a new USB flash drive! YAY! 4 GB with that cool U3 thing. Now I can run Firefox from any Windows PC! It's one of those SanDisk Cruzer Micro things. I got it nearly half off. Yay OfficeMax!

While we were there, I saw computers that I want. Not macs, granted, but computers none the less. That and we stopped at Target, where I hope to be hired later this year. That makes me wish that I had a little fatter a wallet than I do. (Really, I wish it weren't empty) or more in my checking account. My mom suggested that when I start working at Target (if I get to this year, that is) that I get one of their little Target REDcard things they always ask you to apply for so I can build credit and all that stuff. Ugh. I don't think I'll be approved...

And in the car today was more "ugh" material. My parents both suggested that we join in afterschool activities. That's great, except for a couple of things: I don't like school, so why would I try to find an excuse to stay longer than I have to, and they simply don't offer anything I'm interested in anyways. I the main reason for me is the earlier choice. I don't really like school all that much. If I got paid to go, maybe I'd like it a little better, but I don't, unless you count allowance as pay for going to school, which I don't. I just don't want to be hanging around school if I don't have to because I don't even like the place!

I REALLY wish I had the kind of money to buy this one laptop I saw at Walmart today. ~$900, give or take a little. Some Toshiba Satellite running XP with the biometrics thing. I could care less about the biometrics, though I'm intrigued by it, what I care about is WINDOWS XP!!!!!!! Yay! They do still sell computers without Vista! I can't wait to get money, which I probably won't, but hey, I gotta hope for something, put some goal in there. I'm going to have to bend my plans I made about every dollar I make to get it though, because the one I made put almost everything in Savings, and I'd need a check for it, so I'd have to put it into Checking.

My permit expired. My dad seriously asked if I thought I could pass the drive test for my license. How the hell could I do that if I've only driven in residential areas and even then, doing so badly? I've never driven on any real roads, never driven at night, in the rain, in the snow, in any kind of weather other than clear. I don't think I'd get it that way. I suppose maybe I could, since I don't know what the test involves, but I'm not taking a chance with it. My dad said he's going to see about getting my permit "extended" or "renewed", but I honestly don't think they do that, do they?

I don't know what else I have to talk about. So maybe I'll shut up now and use the computer for something that may or may not be useful.

*howls*
