Time has told
...instead of time will tell... you know?
Anywho, time has told how outdated my blog is. I know it's been awhile and I must say that peer pressure is ridiculously outrageous. Seriously, I think some of you guys are about to resort to threats just so I'll post. Goodness gracious.
I'm hoping this post won't be too long because I have a boat-load of junk to do but there will be lots of stuff posted.
First off - I am now street legal... and I don't mean that I am selling under-the-table items like drugs. Sorry... I do mean that today I was granted my license. I passed maneuverability PERFECTLY! Although on the driving portion... I was docked twenty points.
3 counts of "Improper vehicle position to make a left turn"
1 count of "Improper approach to a right turn.
I found out just this moment that -26 points is failure. So I was 6 points away. Hmmm...
So after I took the test I went to the BMV to get my actual license. I forgot my soc. card the first time but that was a quick run home. Got the license and went to visit Trent Nationwide. THE NASTY INSURANCE MAN!!!!
Come to find out - because my brother has a 2006 Ford Mustang, it is driving my monthly payment up to $66 because we are all on the same policy.
Pros:
I share the same policy with everyone
I am insured to drive the mustang
Cons:
We share the same policy
The mustang drives the premiums up by about 400 a half (6 months)
I pay $66 per month rather than $25
Yeah........
Next up - I found this really awesome thing on eBay. I bought it too. It's a geeky thing so I'll talk about it on my other blog. Good news is that it has everything imaginable including restore programs for every single version of windows even vista.
next - I now have the Fire Bible thanks to my grandparents. I really really really really like it.
Finally - I went to the fair today! My first fair ever! Here's proof:
This calf is one week old today.
I also, for the first time, watched a demo derby and I laughed a lot. I didn't know destruction was so much fun. Let me rephrase that. I didn't think that damaging vehicles could be so entertaining.
we got in the stand about an hour before it started so there's not a whole lot of people in this pic.
Sorry but I do not have any pics of action. I will say that it was kind of cool when the cars were
pushed too hard and the engines burst into flames.
I think that's about it.
Until next month... I mean until tomorrow -

Life's so hard
God was right when he said that we would have troubles facing the world. I just thank Him that He is there to help me through this one. I'm sure most of you have read through my last blog post. It was late when I put on here and I was tired so I need to go back and edit some of it I think. I don't know what exactly is wrong in it. None of you have said anything about it.
As I'm sure you've seen... I've been in a huge debate with BloodSoakedRoses over my little Harry Potter comment. We decided to move over to his forum so we each wouldn't end up with thirty comments on each post. The full deal can be read here.
And people - the chatter box is not a forum.
Tech camp has been really fun. I just found out today how much I have really been looked up to during the week. All the kids were saying how cool the Super Techs are and how they really appreciate our help. One day I was fixing a computer and a fifth grader came up beside me and said, "Excuse me, sir? This computer is broken, can you fix it?"
The only thing that ran through my mind was "AAWWW". I was really touched by this because they really look up to us.
We are still debating if we should have a poll of who the best Super Tech is. Mrs. Lund came up with a poll for "The Cutest Super Tech". I love my job. (sometimes)
Okay so I just got another reply from Blood Soaked Roses. I could really use some help with this one. I wasn't asking for any of this so it's not my fault I'm in this mess. Just go back to the link at the top and read one of the last things that he has said.
