Bum ba da dum da da dum da da daa!

Well, as Lana said, I do have something to post about.
In our living-room, we have a white cabinet where we keep diaper bags purses and whatnot. Well, I've kind of adopted two of the shelves on that cabinet, and I keep some of my stuff on them, such as my glasses, a few pocket knives(don't worry, the shelf is pretty high), my retainer, wallet, a box of playing cards(no idea why those are up there...), phone, etc. Well, as I was looking on one of the aforementioned shelves, I saw something. It was one of the strangest sights in the world: A piece of gum. you know, those huge pieces of bubalicious gum. It's cotton-candy flavored, not my favorite, but it's gum none the less. So as I pull the gum down, I see yet another surprise: A box of Necco candy hearts left from valentine's day from T.J.(actually, that has a funny story behind it...).
So, yeah, it was sure something to post about. I don't even like Necco though, so maybe I should mention something else... I GOT MY DRIVER'S LICENSE TODAY!!!! I'm soo happy! I drove all the way to the gas station by myself for the first time! The gas station is only two miles away, but that's beside the point! I get to get my own key to the van at some point too...
Actually, I mentioned it when we got back from the revenue office, and mom was like, "do you really want to go back out with these guys?(Josiah had a bit of a rough time)", and I said, "hey, not everyone has to go! I can go with Jeremiah!" Except that mom didn't want me driving by myself for the first time on a Friday afternoon... But a few hours later I did get to drive to the gas station! Do I have a one-track mind or what?

From Paper to Plastic !

So, I got my restricted license last week! Now, I have photo I.D.! The dumb thing is, to get said license, you have to have a birth-certificate and another form of "secondary identification". What I want to get is, how is a 15 year old supposed to have a plethora of I.D.? AND, the nasty people at the DMV wouldn't take a year-book as I.D., so they sent us to the bank to have some person sign a paper saying that I am, in fact who I am, and that dad is, in fact, my father. Dad and I kinda looked at each other, and were like, "duh, can't you tell? you need somebody from a bank to tell you that?". Man, some things are so dumb and time-consuming. AND, when I took the road test, the guy fussed at me for backing out of the parking space, even though I did it EXACTLY how the book tells you to! Then, he started this whole talk about how they should take that out of the book because "you can't fully control your vehicle if you don't have two hands on the steering-wheel at all times"... And then he got onto me about the way I stopped, and said I didn't come to a "complete" stop, because he didn't get slammed back in his seat. Sigh, if he thinks I did bad, he must not have been the one to give Lana her road test, because there would've been no way she could have passed it.;P

Something kinda cool is, when I was getting the license, I got to say I wanted to be an organ donor. Not that I want to have to donate any organs right now, but it's cool to know that if something were to happen to me, I could maybe give somebody a chance for a better life...

Anyways, mom and dad's anniversary was Friday, so they went up to Tulsa and Lana and Luke came to our house to help out(or was it, "make out"???;P).

On Sunday, Tim didn't end up showing the FtF video, but we still had like, 15 people sign-up to go, and several more were going to think about it. Not too bad, seeing as how they didn't know hardly anything about it...

What else? umm, Brandon and I each started an iPod Touch fund. We figure, by the time we get enough money for them, they'll be cheaper, at least, I hope so... I'm not gonna buy any extra little stuff, and I'll save my b-day and Christmas money, splitting it between savings and my fund, so it shouldn't take more than a 1/2 million years or so to get enough...;P



Now for an outlook on the not so distant future.

We're going to some friend's house on Friday(that's getting more and more rare as our family get bigger, I don't think we'd fit at a lot of tables ;P)! We start school next Monday, and spanish class starts the Tuesday, so that's cool. Microbiology starts the 25th, so that's pretty awesome too.

Oh, duh! FtF is less than two weeks away!! I almost forgot to mention that. I'm really excited that the CCC youth group is finally going!! I'm hoping more people will sign up to go next week.



I'm gettin' hungry, so, I'm gonna go now



-Tony, the most awesomest one by that name

You say you're sorry, does that mean you're sad you got caught?

I think it’s about time to update, so, I update. Let us see… I can’t think of anything worth writing about other than the fact that the Hilde’s came over yesterday!!!! They came over after church and had lunch with us. Then we all went to Lana and Luke’s wedding shower. I think it was the first time I’d ever been to a wedding shower before. It was pretty fun. Probably helped that I knew everybody there.
They had a table set up with cards on it to write pieces of advice for them. I filled two out. I’m not sure if they’ll appreciate all of the work I put into it. ;P (you won‘t understand the humor if you weren‘t there. sorry).
I can’t believe I almost forgot what I’m about to write about. Brittany Hilde(my cousin) got her “dream car” the other day(that was the whole reason that they came up). I was almost jealous at first. But then I took a ride in it. It was a pretty tight fit… I guess I’ll tell you what it is. Better yet, I’ll show you a pic of it (I got this pic from some website, so it's not actually "her" car, but it looks just like it)

Pretty sweet, huh? Not as cool as this! (well, maybe it's as cool, but not as "me")

This is just like my dad's car (except ours has black stripes on the sides and a black rear bumper), which I'm going to buy later. Pretty sweet, huh? Moving on.......

What else??? Chemistry class again today. We took a propane torch to the edges of our poster board. Now it's AWESOME!!!!! I'll get some pics of it once it's finished. Somebody brought cookies and put a plate on our table. They were gone in less than two minutes. ;P I'm done for now, so, I'll be going. Bye!

I hope you like it. It took me three hours to complete the shading on your upper lip

Well, let’s see. *Somebody* told me I have a lack of "newpostness", which I don’t think is a real word.;P But I was gonna post anyways, so, here goes nothing.
Let me think...ah-ha! My dad had/has a kidney stone. The pain started REALLY bad the other day, so on Friday afternoon, Lana took me up to his work so I could play chauffeur for awhile. Then, on Saturday, we had milk run, so I got to drive MORE then!! I just love driving. There’s something about feeling that power under you feet and zooming along the highway. *sigh* It’s wonderful. One of the best parts is when you pass people. Even though I never speed (never "intentionally" that is), there’s always a car going slower than I am. It just gives me a good feeling to drive by someone while I’m in Lightning (that’s dad’s car). I don’t know if it’s just a guy thing or what, but I love driving. So, yeah, enough about cars.
Sunday: Church was good. Worship service was awesome, sermon was good, Sunday school was good. So, yeah, church was good. After church, me and dad ran some errands then we came home and had lunch real quick before Lana, mom, Pie, and dad left to go to Lana and Luke’s shower at his church. I got to stay home and watch the boys. It actually wasn’t too bad. We watched a movie and played outside and had several snacks (you can never forget snacks. Snack time is one of the second best times of day).After that, T.J. came over for awhile.(I’m not sure how long he stayed, I had to head to bed Fred)
Today, had chemistry class. We worked on our display board for our project some. I had completely forgotten about an assignment that we had, so I finished that up real quick while we were waiting for the lecture. I have math and then a little bit of other stuff to do today, then I’m done schoolwise.
Tomorrow, testing in the morning!!! WHOOOHOOOO!!!!! I’m excited!!Testing is soooo much fun. I’m kinda bummed that it’s only for one day though. It used to take like, three days. It’s my last year for it too. So that’s kinda sad.
Ummmm, what else? Normal busy week ahead for the home team. Oh!! I just remembered something! The Hildebrands are coming on Sunday!!!!!! I’m excited. They’re coming up for the wedding too. So we’ll get to see them more this year than we normally would in two years.
I can’t think of anything else. If I do, I’ll just write it later.
So, farewell from the Tony maestro.
