Ok, so if I'm going 5 mph above the speed limit, you don't get to tailgate me. I mean, I can understand it if I'm going under the speed limit. I'd tailgate me too, then. But if I'm already going over? I'm not going any faster, so just quit it.

Also, today it seemed like it was everyone in the world's goal to get me into a car accident. I mean, first, I'm driving to the animal shelter and this car who clearly sees me decides that it would be the perfect time to just pull out in front of me. Then I'm going back and I'm merging onto the freeway and all of a sudden these two cars go over to the right side of the road and stop right in front of the onramp to the freeway. I mean, wtf? Who does that? Could you maybe try to find a better place to stop that's not right where a bunch of people need to go through? There was a little room to get onto the freeway past them, but for some reason today there were a million cars zooming down the freeway and usually there are, like, none. There was finally a small break and a managed to get on, but it was very irritating.

On another car related note, I went to get gas in the afternoon and I failed miserably at it, and not even how I usually fail at it (not being able to get the gas to start going in when I put the nozzle in). I went to this one I've been to a few times before and a car was in the spot I usually go to. In fact, most of the place was filled, there was only one spot in. But it was on the wrong side for where my gas tank is, so I pulled into the space in reverse. But then once I got there, I was like "No, wtf, wrong side!" So I pulled back out and went the other way, except I realized that, no, I had been right the first time. And I kept driving around doing U-turns changing my mind everytime I got into the spot until finally I figured it out. As if the people didn't think I was insane enough after that, once I was done I was such in a hurry to leave that I totally didn't close the gas tank thing. So as I was leaving this man honked his horn at me and I looked and he shouted "GAS CAP!!!" to me a bunch until I got it and closed it and then raced out of there. sigh. Why do I fail so much?

Anyways, after all that, I went to the Woodbridge theaters with Jackie, Emma, and Soan to see Brokeback Mountain (my third time). sigh. I love this movie so much. But this is my second time buying tickets to a rated R movie since I turned 17, and wtf? WHY WON'T ANYONE CARD ME? I mean, seriously! I could've been going to rated R movies all this time, when I was like 15 and 16, and I never did! wtf is wrong with these people!

Happy birthday to me. :)

Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday! I appreciate it more than you can possibly know.

Today was excellent. I went to see Brokeback Mountain at 12:30 with Galaxy, Emma, Soan, and Zi. I don't know about Zi, but Galaxy, Emma, and Soan all really liked it. Then Galaxy and Zi left and then Soan and Emma and I somehow hung out at Fashion Island for 2 hours. At one point we went to Barnes and Noble and I got About a Boy by Nick Hornby because I wanted to read more stuff by him. We also had excellent gelato! And then we went to Emma's house and we went to Blockbuster and rented Four Weddings and a Funeral and this Family Guy thing, but after we got back we had dinner and then Justin and Andrew came over and we played Cranium which was fun. So yeah, it was a very fun day.

( The birthday haul )

So yeah. In all, an awesome birthday, and decidedly better than last year. (Though, it would be hard to be worse than last year, considering this year I actually got presents from friends and last year only 2 people remembered my birthday.)

Today in English:
Mrs. Moore: [lecturing on Romantic literature] Romantic literature also appeared in Germany. One of them was made into this movie, I haven't seen it but I've heard it's pretty bad, and it's set in Germany, and it's about these 2 brothers...
Someone in my class: Brokeback Mountain!

hee. But, no. That would've been a whole different story. Also? Wyoming is not Germany. (She was talking about The Brothers Grimm, by the way. Which is not Brokeback Mountain, or even close.)

Anyways, school wasn't as terrible as it could've been, but all the periods were so much longer than I remembered them being. I have no idea what I'm going to do on block days this week. I got an 89 on that chem test I had the last day of school before break, which made the day a bit better.

So tired. And so not in the mood to do homework. ugh.

Saw Brokeback Mountain with Lulu (violetmist2003) today, and ee! So good! And so sad. But so good! I definitely reccomend seeing it (if you can find somewhere that's playing it, of course). The theater was packed, which I'm glad at since it means the movie's making money, but bad because... I don't know, it's uncomfortable when there are so many people there. Plus, it was really weird watching sex scenes when there was an 80 year old man sitting next to me. There really wasn't anyone my age there except for maybe a few people.

But yeah, anyways. So good. I want to see it again. I think I'd like it even better a second time.

Anyways. Happy New Years Eve to everyone! And since it's New Years Eve, that means it's exactly 2 weeks until my birthday. Very awesome.

LULU LULU LULU! I checked yahoo movies, and Brokeback's now playing at the theater by Fashion Island. So we can totally see it at any time now, or we could wait until it starts somewhere else near here. But Fashion Island is like... pretty much the distance to the Spectrum, too, just in the opposite direction. But yeah. We totally need to go.

One of my wisdom teeth is coming in, and it hurts like hell. bah. At least I think there might actually be space there for it to grow in (since I had 2 adult teeth pulled), so hopefully I won't have to get it pulled. But I probably will have to have the other 2 or 3 pulled. sigh.

Yesterday was the last day of school, so I am now officially on winter break. Yesterday was pretty good. Jessica gave me a stuffed cow, and I got a card and a candy cane from Rui (which was kind of surprising, but we are lab partners, so it wasn't as bizarre as it would've been if she gave it to me last year). Oh, and I got a box of 4 chocolates from Patrick Chen, because he bought loads and was giving them to all the band people in the morning.

And now I need to finish making presents for everyone. I have most of the big stuff done and then all the icons, but icons are way simpler for me to make. So yeah, should have everything done in time to post on Sunday. :)

Edit: caingirl - I know you requested a header from me, but I bought you 12 months of paid account (with the extra icons) time instead. I hope that's all right. I don't know anything about the fandom you requested, and even if I'd been able to find images, it wouldn't have come out very well because I have a really hard time making things of fandoms I know nothing about. But I went to your journal and found your wishlist and you said you wanted a paid account, so yeah. I hope this is an acceptable substitute, and I'm really sorry I wasn't able to make anything for you. =/
Edit #2: eep. It was awhile ago that I went to your wishlist and saw that you wanted a paid account, and I just checked now and saw you said it had already been granted, but I've already bought the paid account for you. I'm sorry! Is there anything else you'd like that I could possibly get you?
