My week was a tornado.

Ice Cube.

Today was cool. Here's a rundown:
*Note- Details in between are left out*

Woke up.
Made a new ring tone for my phone.
Worked with my dad on a job.
Scare and impress my dad with my driving.
Returned home.
Went to school.
Aided in decorating and posed for pictures.
Came to an idea to hide in the cafeteria until the dance started, because I had no ticket and was tempted to go.
Became too chicken to do it, so I decided not to.
Returned home.
Finally watched Aladdin after many years.
Realized the bad, subliminal, messages in there.
Finished it.
Sang A Whole New World.
-Yes, I really did, and I'm good at it. Ask to hear me!
Now... feeling like I want to write a song. Not a rap song, but a song; R&B, slow jam, love song.

And, throughout the whole day, I was chillin. Holla!

Today was dope.

Plain and simple. Today was super dope.

I knew today was going to be bomb because I get out early, have time to hang, dress rehearsal, night rally, and then hang afterwards.

When second period ended, I just couldn't wait until fourth was over. Because, I knew once it ended, it meant that I was free. Free to do whatever I want. I would have so much time. I have a car. And I don't have to stay home.

After lunch, I went out with Danny and Mason. We went to McDonald's (remind me to stop eating that, or take a break), Mason's house, Mason's room, school, my house, my room, Danny's house, Danny's room, and then we split. By then, it was already time for me to be at Nelson's house to try on my costume. Got there and my costume was bad ass. Super bad ass. You can see by pictures, but I had to stick a pillow in there to look fat. I am the Sultan in our skit. ...The best sultan ever! Lol. Then, Brittany, Saheer, and I went back to school.

Once I was in my costume and set, I went to the field to meet my fellow school mates. I'm telling you, the electricity was coming from me. Everybody, mainly females, loved my outfit. I know it was the outfit/costume, because on a regular basis, I don't get that much attention from them. But, haha, it was funny, I received so much attention from them and took so many pictures. I'm not bragging, but its nice to be treated like that. That, is how you can explain the love we have for each other.

Dress rehearsal and the night rally was loads of fun. I even had a lot of fun just chillin', like I do best, with my homies and homegurls while watching the skits. :] I did pretty well. I need to improve my acting but its okay because I've never acted before. Dancing was great except when my costume was falling apart, but I reacted clean and kept it going. Before the rally, homies and I had ciphers. They were spectacular arrays of musical, bodily, percussion. Or, dope beatbox sessions with frees. It was loads of fun.

After, a group of my friends and I went to eat dinner at Denny's. The group consisted of: Cutum, Jereme, Michael and James, Niko and Kiana and her friends, Danny N., Mason, Danny H., Melanie, Ronald, and me. We had a lot of fun there too. So much bonding, it was nice. And, so many momma unks. I wanted to dine & dash, but we had too much people, or people who weren't down. But it was all good.

In the parking lot outside of Denny's we all had a little dance off. Lol, loads of fun yet again. We played music from cars and danced. Danced the Souja Boy dance, which is catchy, and other things as well. As the time approached 10pm we all split. Others and I still had one more hour to kill so we decided to chill at Fowler Park. It was the two Dannys, Mason, Cutum, and me. Just driving there was crazy. Even to Denny's. Danny and I kept going toe and toe. He kept downshifting to speed up but I held my own alright. I went 70 on a 45 zone. (Bad.) Going to the park was the same thing. While we were driving, Jereme even quit on the idea to catch up, even if he has turbo. It was funny. There was a good time that I did get the best of Danny. That was up Aborn. I caught up in fourth and he sped up. I shifted to fifth and he downshifted. We approached the light so I downshifted to fourth and zoomed by. Cuts was in the car too and witnessed it along me. Then, I went to fifth again and rolled. Danny was behind quite an amount. It was cool cause I knew what I was doing. That was his props to me.

As we all arrived at the park we saw Ray there with Brian. We all hung out and chilled and flowed. Peeps were intoxicated, but none of my posse. We began to freestyle and vibe. Later on, a cop came by and flashed his bright light at us and told us to leave. So, we all moved to our cars. I knew he'd go around and he did. And he pulled in the park parking lot and parked. It was whack because I was hoping he wouldn't check us and see that I'm not supposed to drive people. He didn't though and we all bounced. Danny was worried that he'd get pulled over because his car is loud. It was all good. After bringing Cuts and Mason home, it was my turn. Went home and everything is cool, calm, and chill.

Thank you.

Oh I'm used to it....

I'm getting better everyday. No stalls again!!!! In the morning I went to Evergreen Doughnuts, school, home, Nelson's, school, and back home. After lunch, I went out with homies Mason and Danny. We hit up Starbucks and had a craving for some jalapeño pepperoni from Lil' Caesars. Deep dish, of course. We drove and got 'ems, then returned to school. Left the pizza in the open trunk and just munched it all. Man it was spicy, but great. We all also ran out of our drinks too, so we had nothing to replenish ourselves. This morning I finally went up the hill to the parking lot. I'm happy because I didn't stall on it. I even went up it twice today! I've gotten really better too. I'm so happy because of that. :D

HC practice was fun. I find myself fooling around again.... I guess its not hurting anyone, so its alright. Comic relief is what you can turn to me for.

I'm bout to have a chill night tonight. So, lata!

What it do?

So here's a fill-in.

Past few days driving have been really good. Yes, I still have stalled but I don't count them. Why? Because they happened when I was already parked or in a tight place trying to reverse. Yesterday, was the most I've drove with my car. I went to Jamba Juice, then to HC practice (which became canceled), then to my Ate's house for my auntie's surprise birthday party (which is in the Independence HS area.) No stalls baby. (Oh, and then a little joyride at night with my sister and friends. Hehe.) Only two, which were reversing in her court and going up her driveway, into a tight spot between cars. Whatever! I'm not really tripping on stalls anymore because they've dramatically lessened and I'm getting really better. I'm handling the stick better, starting off, everything. And I found out that the Supreme sticker is forever on my bumper now, maybe even the dash, because the sun made it stuck. Haha, that's okay. The only time they'll be off, I guess, is when I replace those parts.

So yeah, cool stuff happened since the last blog. Thus, making the past days cool. And here I am, a beautiful calm Sunday morning, blogging. I don't know if there still is HC practice today, but I've got to record the final audio. I'll watch Aladdin to study my character. But, I might not watch all of it because I just got Season 3 of That '70s Show, and you know how much I like that show. :] Then church tonight and I might drive my car there. We'll see. Then last but not least -wait, yes it is- I have homework. Homework is so gay but its got to be done. I might even do it sooner than tonight. If I feel like it.

See you later!

Progression

I started the morning in my car waiting for Terence to arrive. The night before, we planned to go to McDonald's then he'd teach me how to balance the clutch uphill. I was glad that I woke up on time, I'm getting better, and got ready according to plan. Going outside in the chili brisk morning, I began to customize my car. I saved two Supreme stickers to put on a car if I ever got one. Now that I have, I fulfilled my goal. Applied one on the left corner of the back bumper and one on the dash. They look dope. Also, I found my old little remote control car, the tiny one. I forgot what we used to call them back then, but they were a fad. It was a white WRX, so it was only meant to be hung under the rear view window. Lastly, I popped in the Chino XL CD Here To Save You All. Bumped it the whole day.

With minor difficulties, I did well driving to McD's and back to school. As I looked at the rear view mirror, I'd see Terence giving me a thumbs up. That was pleasant. Arriving at school, I entered the smaller lot then made way to the large one. Parked and saw Stefan parked two spots away to my right. Then, T came around and parked on my left. And then! Jereme came out the cuts and parked next to Terence, saying, "What's up guys?" Haha, that was so funny because it was unexpected. Stefan then reacted by relocating to Jereme's right. It was tight seeing our cars next to each other. JDM and one EDM. Haha. I told them all to hop in my hoopty and I'll practice balancing. After taking a quick lap, I practiced. It went well. Four out of seven tries, I got it. Yay-yuh!! After the morning practicing and joy riding and fun, I parked it. We all got out and collected our things for class, then walked up. As we reached the Cave, we were like, 'why did we walk up so early?' Lol. Bell rang -we split.

At lunch we had a little sideshow. It was funny. Not really a "sideshow," more like a sideshow without the show. We parked all cool and took pictures because I brought a cam and tripod. And again, we did a little joyriding. Terence even tailed me around corners, it was nerve wrecking. Then... a cop appeared out of now where parked near the edge. We know he started to watch us, so again... we split.

I drove to school and home three times altogether today. First, to go to school and come back. Second, to go back to art and finish my painting, which is bomb-ass, and back. And third, to go practice and back. It was tiring doing all that and going back and forth.

The stalls dramatically have decreased today. Sum (probably): 4 times. I'm getting better! :D

After my day ended, I crashed on my bed and fell asleep for an hour or two. I didn't even expect or try to sleep. I was just pretending to be sleeping cause my mom came home and I wanted to play a joke. I woke up and the atmosphere outside was dark already and I find out that my parents are out on a date at Great Mall. Sweet stuff... aww....

I haven't gone to the gym yet this week. Basically because I'm practicing with the car, so maybe I'll return next week.

Earlier, my homegurl (I like that word) Miradee brought up the idea of naming my car. I thought about it and came up with Camellia. Camellia the Impreza. Nice ring it has. Yeah, I'd make it a female car. But, not sure yet if I will name it. It'd be cutsey if I did. We'll see.

Back to the chat storm with "beloved" and "hard working." Haha, shout out to Amy!

Laterssss.

Enjoy:

Quit Stalling....

I despise stalling. Seriously. Even though I know for a fact that its how people begin, it really sucks. Its frustrating, embarrassing, and makes me panic. But I know I'll soon get better.

Woke up early today and drove to school. Jereme, the pal that he is, came to my house and drove behind me, to take precaution when I would stall. Thanks a lot homie! Stalled like three times on Quimby & Ruby and I got fed up. The light turned green, then red, then green again. So, I just floored it to get past the light. We both also practiced driving our the lot in the morning, past 6:30 am. It was alright. It left me with the feeling to practice more the whole day.

After lunch, I went to Wendy's with Danny and Mason. Danny gave me pointers while I drove and also showed me a few things. I stalled yet again. Its so bad, especially with people behind me getting angry. But, the best are when they laugh and are nice about it. Oh, do I have stories about the first day already.

A little after seventh period began, I was in the parking lot practicing the stick. Drove all around for over an hour. It was fun and it was real practice. Now, I start off better, that's so great. I set a personal goal for myself this morning. Its to get used to my car and get the hang of it by the end of the week. I have total faith in myself, so do my friends. And, if I don't reach it, then it, of course, has to be within the next week. My plan is to just get to school early to drive, hoping not to stall, with less traffic. Then practice in the lot. No first period tomorrow, so that's cool. Then after, say sixth period, practice more. I know I'm not treating the engine, transmission, clutch, and anything else right -that's because I'm a beginner. And if I really did, I have a lifetime warranty. But, I hope I don't.

Its tight, I'm falling in love with my car. Dope stuff. A few of my boys and I were chilling in the lot just talking and looking at our cars. Haha.

Well, I'm looking forward to a chill evening. Holla back youngin'!

Total stalls (and counting) as of now: Around 10. :D
