Too much...
So much has been going on. I've had to write papers, do projects, and make a goodbye drawing for my friend. And I was sick, as you read last week. I've still got a little sniffles, but I'm pretty much over it now.
"So long, farewell..."
Twas a sad week last week, especially on Friday. My best friend in the whole wide world, ever since Kindergarden, is now away in boarding school in Indiana. It's awful now that I have to call if I want to talk to her, but it's not the same since I can't see her every day. For parting gifts I bought her the first volume of Bleach, gave her one of my teddy bears, gave her a pin with a frog on it(she likes frogs), and drew her a one paged comic of two of my newest original characters. And since I wanted it to be special, I colored it (which I normaly don't do) and I didn't scan it. So she has the original and only copy of it. I love her so much (as a friend, duh!) and it's horrible not having her around anymore to laugh and have sleepovers and have her borrow my manga. Now we have to plan several weeks ahead if we want to have a get together. Bwaa! It's so horrible! I feel like crying, but I can't because I'm not one to cry. I just have this terrible longing in my heart. Good news is she's coming back this weekend for Fall Festival, a yearly, well, festival that our school holds in the, you guessed it, fall. So, I'll be able to hang out with her while I'm not working at our class booth and she's not working out her relationship with her boyfriend who threatened to shoot her in the knee if she left. So hopefully this weekend goes well and we have tons of fun.
Web Design Class
I don't know if I've told you about this web design class that I'm taking at school, but, yes, yes I am. I'm learning some pretty cool stuff on the program we're using. Some codes I already new, like the image tag and the font tags like bold and italics, but I learned how to change the words up in the title bar of your web browser. I'm deffinately going to use that one on here, once I get around to it. So, one day you'll come to my site and I will have changed it so much and you'll be all like "Wow! This is a really cool site!" Hah...I am so vain. Oh how vain are you Amber?
Site Visits
I want to thank you all again for my massive site hits. I don't know how many of you saw the award pic I made, but I've reached the 900+ mark. I can't wait till I reach 1,000! Then twill be cause for celebration. I mean, for those of you who've been her since the beginning, look how far I've come in the design of my site. I used to be extatic if I posted a picture up or changed my site music, but look at me now. I've got button-links and a blog box and a background picture and everything. I've come a long way since my first simple post and crude e-cards. I'm so proud of myself and the people who helped me make it this far, even if some they don't have an Otaku account anymore. Anyways, I am thankful to all of you. Really, I truly am.
Driving
Heh, yeah, you read that right. I'm getting behind the wheel.
Setou: Hail Mary full of grace! What has the world done to deserve such a fate?
Amber: Methinks thou doth protest too much...
My mother has committed to taking my sister and I out to some random empty parking lot in the wee hours of Sunday mornings to practice our driving. It's pretty cool although, since my moms car is a sports car and is ment for fast driving, I always have trouble when I first hit the gas. We always lurch forward and then jolt to a stop as I slam my foot on the breaks. I just need to remember to press lightly.
Anyways, back to what I originally wanted to tell you guys. I almost hit a tree. See, what had happened was we were out in one of those parking lots that have a double entrance, you know just like three car lengths apart, so my mom had us pull out of one, drive down, and pull into the other. Well, I made my turn just a little too tight and jumped the curb. And headed towards a tree. In my moms new car. This, of course, had her almost in cardiac arrest so I had to get back onto the road and pull back in without damaging the car. Fortunately I didn't hit anything, but what they say about third times the charm is bupkiss. If you do it twice, you'll do it thrice. Fourth times the charm's what I say, because on my fourth try I exited and entered without any issues and mummy was very proud of me.
"Next time on Dragon Ball Z..."
Well, I'll try to get to some of you guy's sites tommorrow night. I know I haven't been to quite a few in a while and I'm sorry. Have a good weekend and week none the less. ^.^
