Void of Space

I guess yesterday wasn't as bad as it could have been. I got a card from my grandparents... they sent me $50. I've never gotten that much money in the mail, I nearly had a heart attack. Mom and Dad and Becca got me a dart board and some darts. That should be fun....

Now that I'm 17, I can get into those R-rated movies I want to see, buy R and Mature rated movies and games, and rent R-rated movies. This means I can rent the Alien Saga (again....) without being told I have to have parental permission.

I'm still not legal, though. :P

But that's beside the point. The family took me to Perkins for dinner, and I gave dad the free pie I got since it was my birthday. (Hey Amanda, mom wants to know about that "hon" part... she gave me a funny look.)

Although.... I don't know why I had such a hard time getting to sleep last night. I took my meds, they should have knocked me on my ass. But they didn't. I ended up tossing and turning most of the night. And I bombed my Cisco quiz, but I couldn't focus on it. I'm kinda tired.

And hungry, as my stomach has just reminded me.

Got the guts last night to send Amanda a Yahoo!IM while she was logged off. The guts were needed to ask if she wanted to do something after the game on Friday, and I'm still nervous about getting shot down. But it's part of life, and if it happens, then that's just the way it is.

And no, not an actual date.... I said Becca could tag along if Barry isn't there. But if Barry does come to the game (is Potter playing Sidney?.....) then she can't come. Cause he'll want to, and that's a bad idea. For multiple reasons.
