   *sigh*

Driving really isn't all it's cracked up to be. It really isn't. At least for me anyway. I can't have one stinking driving trip where I don't screw up somewhere along the way. Today was my worst yet. I accidently turned into a Do Not Enter zone. Nice move. I was perpenicular to the road and right in the middle of it with people honking at me and yelling out the window, and then I did nearly the same thing at the gas station. Good thing I know martial arts because if I don't start driving better, one day someones just gonna get out of the car and try to beat me up. They'd end up kissing the pavement of course, but still, I need to drive better.

   I'm famous for forgetting stuff....

I had a good idea for a post on here yesterday, but I couldn't get to the computer and I didn't write it down thinking it would stick in my head. What on earth was I thinking? Me, remember something!? Yeah, good one. I'm the king of not remembering stuff.

   Couldn't think of a title

Well, overnight I got the snow I was expecting. But no one wants to hear me complain about that the entire post, and I really don't blame you. =P I've been so worked up in driving school that I haven't been to karate in five weeks or so, and everyone there (including me) can see it. 6_6 Oh well, it won't take long to get my stances and techniques polished back up. Anyone else here know martial arts? ^_^ I know karate, a tiny bit of aikido and a little arnis.

   Stupid winter

So sorry for not updating in forever. I'm just about to get the first real snow of the year. *sigh* Right now it's raining sleet basically until later tonight it's supposed to start snowing I think. Nooooooo! Anyway, I'm taking my driver's test at the end of this month for my liscence. Hopefully I'll make it, I haven't had any near-crashes lately or made too many stupid maneuvers while on the road. Overall my turning, accelerating, braking, and lane changing (the worst) has gotten a LOT smoother, so that's good, I don't feel so bad when I'm driving anymore. Before, I was ashamed to be out on the road without the "Student Driver" sign on the car because then everyone would know why I was (unintentionally, of course) driving like an idiot. Anyway, my driving school classes are almost up. I have two or three more classes I think and then I'm being tested at the end of the month. Better get crackin on those relaxation excersizes, one dangerous act on the road and I will automatically flunk. That's the way it works in this state, anyway. Have a good day everyone, even if it is a freezing one... ^_^

   I know it's hideous, I'm working on it

Well, I went to an HTML site and figured out enough to get the invert of what I wanted. At least I know how to make the individual post boxes now. ^_^ I put #XXXXXX in the space for Main and Inner BG color, and it just turns up black. GRRRRR!!

   Appearence Question

Umm, can someone tell me how to make my inner background color transparent so the main background shows through? I've always wanted to be able to do that, but I can't figure out how. U_U If someone could offer anything that might help that would be great, thanks! ^_^

   I can't believe what I almost did

Yesterday I was driving, and I'm still a pretty new driver. I was driving down the road and someone pulled over to the side of the road, and there was traffic coming towards me in the other lane. I would've just stopped but someone was close behind me so I couldn't come to a stop without signaling, unless I wanted to get rear-ended. I had to squeeze in thorugh the middle, which was the only option I could think of at the time (since I was panicked). I made it through and everyone was fine but I was still in shock from it and I had to pull over and calm down, and since I was so shaken up I was forgetting to use my turn signals and everything. I ended up sharply turning into a parking lot at 30mph without even using my turn signal. I'm still mad at myself for that. I was yelling at people under my breath telling them to learn how to drive. (I think it's me who needs to learn how to drive)6_6 I'm such a bad person when I panic behind the wheel. I would never act like that normally. And to think I had a driving appointment with my instructor the next day. 6_6; Luckily it went fine. I hate driving. If I got into an accident and anyone got hurt I'd stab myself.

   Okay well this was a first...

I did a karate demo today, which went nicely compared to the last one where I was actually nervous. The whole day there was some fundraiser thing going on, so there were little kiddie games and stuff like that everywhere. The demo wasn't starting for another 20 minutes or so, so I decided to do some walking around. I was minding my own buisness, just looking around, and I spotted these two girls kinda huddled together and looking straight at me. I just shrugged it off and turned the other direction, continuing to mind my own buisness when I felt someone tap on my shoulder. I turned around and it was one of those girls. All she said to me was, "my friend thinks you're cute" and then pointed to her friend (the other girl). I froze up and looked around and said, "Well, that's a first..." and she turned around and walked away really fast and I think she was giggling. I didn't get too good of a look at her friend becuase I was too busy staring at my feet, but I did my eye contact with her for a split second and she was smiling at me. I couldn't force anything else out of my mouth, so I just kept saying the same thing over and over about four or five times until she went back to her friend. Okay well, I did get a glimpse of her, and I honestly could not at all see a girl like that thinking something like that about me. I mean don't get me wrong, I'm not the kind of guy who judges by looks, I'm just talking about what I got form a single glance and no communication. She just looked like the kind of girl who would be attracted to the kind of guy who would try to shove me into the lockers in the school hallway - not to be stereotypical, of course. This is when I came to a new conclusion. Later I thought back to when they were huddled and looking at me, and I tried to remember the exact look on their faces, and I think that it was nothing more than a dare or bet. I can just imagine... Girl 1: "I'll give you $5 if you go tell that ugly guy over there that he's cute." Girl 2: "Heh, good one. I'm not doing that for $5. Not THAT guy" Girl 1: "Okay fine, you can tell him I think he's cute then. But now I'm cutting it down to $3" Girl 2: "Deal." I mean how could I possibly look that attractive enough to make a girl mention it to her friend, and then want to tell me as well? It's just impossible, I look horrible compared to other guys my age, and that's just a fact. Although I did happen to be walking around in my flashy tournament gi, which I know drew some attention to me considering I was in a big park, not a dojo or anything. Darn, I didn't even have my hair spiked or anything. And I hadn't shaved in about four days, except for my chin which has been going about 9 days now. (workin on that goatee, ya know) Can you tell I've never gotten a comment like that before? I mean look at how much I wrote, sheesh. And now that I got my day all typed out, I really need to go shave. -_-; See ya!

   100 hits

Maybe it's not really that big of a deal, but it's an excuse to post and I thought it was cool. I know my blog isn't that great, so 100 visits for me is quite something.

   Meteora

Ehh, maybe I get music a bit too much, but I never really get anything else, so that balances it out I guess. I got my hands on Meteora today. :D At first I was hesitant to get it, I was torn between Hybrid Theory and Meteora, but I'm glad I got Meteora. Numb is an insane song! I love it! Along with others on here of course. *cough* Breaking the Habit, Somewhere I Belong, Don't Stay *cough cough*... But Points of Authority is still my favorite Linkin Park song. Anyway, that was the highlight of my day, and I thought it was worthy of a post. So see ya! ^_^
