Well I had an interesting day today. At least I thought it was interesting. I went to the DMV earlier to try to get my Learner's Permit, and it turns out that you have to show a birth certificate now in order to get it. I've had four different Learner's Permits, and I know that I never had to show a birth certificate except for the very first time I got one. They said my expired Learner's Permit wasn't good enough because it was expired. So yes, I was kind of angry, but I didn't say anything back because that would make me look stupid and mean. So next time I go over there, I feel like just dumping out everything in purse and saying "Here, I have four high school ID cards, one from each year of high school, a Social Security card, a Kanawha County Public Library card, a state library card, a library card from the University of Charleston, a college ID, two perfect attendance cards from the 2000-2001 school year, a movie rental card, two debit cards, a savings account card, several phone cards, an empty Gap gift card, and even one of those silly little diploma cards they give you when you graduate. Is that enough ID for you?" Haha, that would be a really smart ass thing to say though. But it's so tempting. You see, every time I go to try to get a permit, something always goes wrong. I don't have the right kind of ID, they're closing early that day, someone isn't there who can do the test, really dumb stuff like that. I've never once been able to go and just get it over with. I think I have a right to be a little frustrated with them. So I still don't have a permit. I guess I'll have to go back tomorrow.

So after being a little upset over that, how did I cope? I bought a CD. Which frustrates my mom because she thinks I worry a lot about not having enough money for the school year, then I go out and "waste" my money on CDs. Oh well, she wouldn't understand. I don't think she owns any CDs.

So after that, my mom decided she wanted to go to Kohl's for awhile. I really don't like that store, and she said she'd only be gone for a few minutes, so I decided to stay in the car and listen to my new CD. Well, a few minutes turned into over an hour.

So while I was in the car, just chillin' listening to my music and looking through some pictures I just got developed, this guy with a clipboard walks up to the car (the windows were down) and asks if I will sign his petition. It was a petition to get a third party candidate running for president. Normally I probably would have said no, but this guy was really really cute, and I really didn't care either way. So I signed it and we talked for awhile then he left. Andrea would be so proud.

About 10 minutes later, this other guy came up to the car. He was old, like AT LEAST 26-27, probably older than that. He was like, "Hey I just saw you sitting in the car over here and thought I'd come over and chat." I was thinking, ok...yeah that's a little weird, but whatever. He randomly started a conversation, and kept asking me all these questions, when I really just wanted him to go away. Finally, he says "So, I was just wondering if you'd like to go out sometime." Haha, yeah right. No, I just politely said no thanks and he just said ok and left. I can't believe some guys actually do stuff like that. Seriously, I was so much younger than him. Did he really think I'd be interested in going out with some strange older man who randomly approached me in a parking lot? I don't think I'd ever be that desperate. Next time my mom says she's only going to be a few minutes in a store, I'm going with her because A)A few minutes really means an hour to an hour and a half, and B)I don't want to be asked out my strange older men who drive yellow motorcycles.

So I still don't have a Learner's permit, but I do have a new CD, so that pretty much made my day. Ha, who cares about driving anyway! Other than that, I'm leaving Thursday morning to go to a beach!
