Went to the animal shelter this morning for the training stuff. It turned out I was actually doing the training with two other kids at the same time. The buddy person took out a cat and we played with it for awhile. I want a cat so badly, guh. I would've been done at like 12:20 (40 minutes sooner than I thought), but then the two kids were all "Dude, can we do a dog training thing too?" and so our buddy found this other buddy teacing a volunteer how to deal with the dogs and so we all did that with her. So, now I can work with both dogs and cats! Awesome.

After the animal shelter, I went to Tiffany's and drove the two of us to Chain Reaction, a club in Anaheim, where they were selling a bunch of CDs, posters, shirts, and stuff like that. It was pretty cool. Everything was so cheap! Unfortunately, there wasn't a lot of merch from bands I like, but it was still cool. I got a free Hidden in Plain View poster, free Augustana, Oasis, and The Dead 60s stickers, a $5 Plain White T's CD, and a $3 So They Say CD. I think they should have something like that again soon, it was fun.

I was kind of freaked out thinking about driving to Anaheim because the farthest I've ever driven alone is like the Spectrum, and that's only like 5 miles away and that was the first freeway I ever drove on so I'm just... a lot more comfortable driving there. But to go to Anaheim, I had to drive on the 405, then the 55, and then the 5. But it ended up being a lot less freaky than I thought, and I didn't kill/hurt me, Tiffany, or any other drivers! So, I'd consider it a success. :) I want my own car. sigh.

I saw Campus Confidential. That was... bad. I mean, it's not a good sign when you're longing for Teddy Dunn's character to come back on screen (though that was kind of more because, while I don't find him hot, per se, he has really, really pretty eyes. At least when he was on screen, I could stare at his pretty eyes). And I usually enjoy cheesy teenage romantic comedies for their total cheesiness and because I'm a total sap and get all squee-y over the romances in romantic comedies. But this wasn't even cheesily good. This was just all-around bad. I mean, I found myself being all "Ok, next, Duncan will come on screen. Ok, now Missy will go all power-trip and drop Ren," and being right. ...yeah, also, I apparently am unable to separate actors I've seen from the first role I saw them in.

Anyways. Yeah. That was bad.

My mom comes home tomorrow afternoon (after I have my tenor lesson, unfortunately. I have to suffer through an entire lesson alone with him. gah. I'll just have to remember that come September, I won't have to have another lesson for 2 months. sigh). I love my mom, but I kind of don't want her to come home just now. I mean, she hasn't been away long enough for me to miss her, and I have so much more freedom with her not here and I'll miss that going away, and... no more full use of the car. :( I really want my own car. sigh. It wouldn't be such a big deal if I didn't go to school in an area where everyone's rich and teenagers get cars at 15 before they even have their driving permits. That's unfortunately not even slightly an exaggeration, either. blah.
