the day is over, and i feel accomplished. i finished my christmas shopping, played the funniest joke ever on kevin with becca, wrapped, cleaned my room (or at least made a significant dent in the multi-leveled process), gave out one of several christmas gifts, and still found time to go out.

dg and jess really seemed to like my gift. it made me really really happy. i love doing (what i hope to be) something nice for someone and getting a wonderful positive reaction to it. no better feeling than making someone smile =).

i think mr. mcglynn may have sent me a very generous christmas gift. he told me to expect something in the mail... i was thinking a card or something... definately not what i got. i owe him a huge thank you. i wish it had a note or an address attached so i could be sure of who it was from. tis quite the mystery.

about that joke... well, you can ask me if you're interested. if i write it all out, it'll take away from the greatness of the story. let's just say it involves becca and a bathroom stall. i find amusement in the strangest places/things.

if things go well, i'll be getting my driver's license wednesday. i can't wait to get it. i was fighting with my mom tonight and she told me not to get my hopes up about driving anywhere because she doesn't think i should be allowed to take anyone anywhere or go places by myself yet since we have to fudge a lot of hours to speed up the process. i just don't understand. i want my license, they want me to get my license, what's the point of having it and not being allowed to use it??? i think my age already qualifies me as being responsible enough to drive. i've waited to long! pleeeeeease just let me do it! it doesn't matter what the circumstances are anymore. i have to stop asking people to take me places. i have to stop begging my parents to drive me around when i want to go somewhere and no one will take me. i don't want to stay home because i can't drive, no one can take me where i want to go, and my parents won't drive me. it's not fair. i don't deserve that. i want to take myself places!! i want to drive!!!

on the road again
i can't wait to get on the road again
