Woo, I had half a glass of wine and now I feel all funny.

I also made a pumpkin cake:

Menstruating when you're not trying to have a baby is like paying taxes toward the upkeep of public schools when you don't have any kids in them. It's an especially irritating inconvenience just for something you're not even using.

I realized that I didn't have any good pictures of my mom's car, so I went and took some.

( My mom named this one 'Simone', by the way - I'd forgotten until recently. )

Feeling: melancholy

Okay, so my mom just bought a new car. It's heartbreaking - her VW Passat wagon, possibly the most badass car I've ever known, is like ten years old now and is starting to get tweaky. Unfortunately, seeing as how it's a VW, the tweaks are a bit pricey to fix, and on an old car you're going to start seeing lots and lots of tweaks to fix. As a somewhat lesser problem, I need to be able to drive in like, a month, and obviously I'll learn faster on an automatic transmission (my parents both drive manual right now. Oh, did I mention that I finally got my learner's permit? 'Cause I totally did.) Sooo, sometime this weekend, probably, we're going to pick up my mom's shiny new Prius.

The awesome part? She's already named it. It's called Motoko.

My right hand to God. I had absolutely nothing to do with it either, believe it or not - I just noted that the car was cold, sterile, almost hideously efficient, and really more computer than car, and she was like "OH HAAAAY!" It totally fits, too - I mean, aside from the aforementioned characteristics, it's a Japanese car, it's black, it's wicked curvy, and the dash display has this oddly retro-80's feel to it. I wasn't too jazzed on the Prius to begin with, since quite frankly it scares me, but maaan, I'm going to drive that thing with pride now.

We got to see it today too when my mom went to sign the papers. Apparently lithium smells overpoweringly like fresh paint and new upholstery.

MLA format is so ugly. Why would anyone purposefully leave a page with a ragged right edge? And right-aligning your name and the date? Ew! The in-text citation format is so awkward as well - why can't we all just cite things with those nice little numbers-linked-to-footnotes like normal people do?

The MLA: making people hate writing assignments for English class since...whenever.

Oh, and there's a new Kyūchan! up, for anyone who's interested.

Turned on Gabby this morning (yes, it's actually morning, try not to faint), AOL's news page came up when AIM started because I can't turn it off. The first story in the news box? Some kid who got an assache over not saying the pledge. Cue sympathy and righteous indignation.

( Mr. Pledge, my old nemesis, we meet again... )

My MSN is now functional again :D

Feeling: accomplished

After I did my practice exercises for today, I started wondering what else I could write that wasn't just the dictation for my classes.

( See if you can decipher any of these x3 )

Also, I have the cutest dog ever. That has nothing to do with anything; I just like saying it every now and then. ^-^

After an update my MSN doesn't seem to be working anymore (it shuts down when I try to log in), so until I get it sorted, if anyone needs to get ahold of me for whatever reason, use my AIM.

Stupid Windows Live....I just want a freaking messenger program, not a whole way of life!
