Aug. 21st, 2005 03:31 pmWent 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.

Congrats on not killing yourself. I'm learning to drive and just thinking about driving on a freeway freaks me out.

Heh, thank you. I totally know what you mean. When I first started driving, I was totally freaked out at the thought of going on the freeway. The first freeway I went on was really like... easy, though. Easy to merge onto, and there wasn't a lot of traffic, so it was good. I'm still freaked out about going on other freeways, though, which is why I'm proud that I was able to do it today. I feel a lot better about it now.
