Thanks to these kind folks, I now own a Canon Power Shot A510 Digital Camera! wheeee! :D (...those are my parents, btw. Not two random people who bought me a digital camera. That would be totally awesome, though.) When we went to the place, they didn't even have the $80, and when we asked for the $100, the guy working there was all "No! Don't get that! It sucks! The zoom is really crappy, you don't want that." And I looked at the zoom on it, and it was crappy. I thought then that it was over, that I wouldn't be able to get one, but then I somehow managed to convince my parents (with the help of the nice person working there) to get a $200 one. I promised to do the bird cages for as long as my mom wants this summer to make up for the fact that it was a lot more expensive than I promised.

Wheeeee. :D I am quite happy right now. One last picture:

That would be the corner of my room, because I think it looks cool. the pictures on both walls and the ceiling combine and it looks really cool, in my opinion (...and that's really all that matters, because I'm the one that spends the majority of my day here). Well, the thing that was on the right wall, in the left-hand corner, was this long really awesome article on the state of punk and it talks about Green Day and other bands a bunch, and I taped it up all there, but it was heavy and fell behind my bed (um, several months ago. Yeah, I'm lazy). The rest of the room doesn't look as cool, though, because there are loads of blank spots. Planning on redoing it one day this summer, though. Maybe Friday if I've finished reading all the Harry Potter books (seems likely: I have less than 100 for the fourth, and I'll have plenty of time to read the fifth tomorrow and Thursday).

...yeah, that's it. Ah, this makes me so happy. :D Expect a lot of random pictures from me, from now on.

So anyways, I was feeling kind of bad about my SAT diagnostic test scores, but it turns out that everyone in my class did worse on the reading. There was an average drop of 30-40 points, and I dropped 50, so it's not too terrible in comparison to everyone else. And I also found that I was the only person to get a 12 in the class, so that made me feel better about myself. Plus, our instructor asked us if there was any disruption during the test and we said that the 24 hour fitness below us was playing music so loud we could hear it, and also the timer that told us when each section was over and the 10 and 5 min marks kept beeping randomly, so we'd think the section was over when it wasn't. He said that could've contributed to the drop because it messed with our concentration.

Wow, only 4 days until the new Harry Potter book. I'm actually getting really excited for it, which is surprising. I usually don't look forward to the new Harry Potter books that much, but this time I am.

Ok, off to finish book 4.

Yay for digital cameras! I just got one this year myself, and they're loooads of fun. Especially on college drunk nights hehe

I'm also looking forward to the new HP book. Something tells me it will be even better than the last.

Hee, yes, digital cameras are quite fun. I think I'll be making good use of this.

Yeah, I think it's going to be really awesome. In any case, I hope it will be.

Well we've waited long enough for this installment, it better be good heh

I also figure since it's nearing the end it'll get juicier and more mature aka more sex/teen angst/death

Heh, that's true. And yeah, it definitely has been getting more mature as the series has continued, so I'd think that this one would be even more mature. Should be awesome.

Yeah...sometimes I feel a little old reading HP being 19 and all, so I'm looking forward to more maturity :)

Yeah, I know what you mean. Well, I'm only 16, but when I reread the first book, I feel a little old reading it. Especially since the first time I read it, I was about 9 or 10, so reading it again reminds me of being that old. But the fourth and fifth definitely got far more mature than the one's preceeding them, so I would be surprised if the sixth and seventh become more mature as well. And it makes sense that they would do that, as Harry was 11 when the series started and will be 16 in the next book; as he matures, the books do, too.
