Oh to be young....

Since last night I was eager to awake. Every time I gained consciousness, I checked what time it was on my phone. Too early... still early... and damn, its still early. I was waiting for 10 am. Because at 10 am, I would begin to get ready and set out on my adventure, celebrating the free day without school. The means of celebration was none other than my favorite hobby, skateboarding. Since last night, Danny and I planned to skate today at 11 am at Sunnyvale skatepark. I've never been there and I have a car, so that meant that I can go there. I was anxious and couldn't help but wait until the time came. Like I said, I kept waking up early and trying to go back to sleep. (That always happens when I'm waiting to do something the next day.) And it was difficult to, too. So, I gave up and arose from bed at 9 am. I saw that DC5Fel was already online. Haha, I guess he was more anxious than me. So we chatted and gathered up a posse. I was planning my day and it became difficult. I tried to reach few people and they weren't answering. Finally, after an hour, I got word and a few of my boys were able to roll through. I finished my game plan and got ready and got out the house.

I made a promise to myself: that I would not drive any passengers illegally for the last week until my license has reached its validity. This coming Wednesday, the 14th 2007, will mark a one year anniversary of me obtaining my driver's license. Thus, enabling me, by law, to transport passengers under the age of 20 freely. I just wanted to go one more week, as if it was one last stretch. But, I'm not perfect.

I rolled with the two Nikos, Niko and Nikko. The ride was dope.

The skate session was fun and the park was cool. Though, I didn't really do anything cool or land anything complex, its all good with me. The only bad thing is that I scrapped the bottom of my front end coming out of a lot. Major SADFACE.

When I finally arrived home the idea to give my baby (car) a wash came to mind. I gathered care information and found supplies in my garage. Then, I went to work. It was fun to wash my car. It gave me the feeling of independence, because I've never washed a car alone; let alone one that belongs to me. And that "I'm handling mines" feeling. I believe I did a good job. My car looks beautiful and fresh. Now, I just hope it doesn't get ruined or my labor would have been in vain.

I had to relocate my mother's car today and it felt really weird. Its an auto and let me tell you, it is as if I forgot how to drive an auto. As funny as that sounds, it has truth in it. It was so weird and kind of difficult to operate it, because I'm so adjusted to a manual now. When I hopped in it, I got that lost and misplaced feeling, like I was in the wrong spot. When I turned it on, I thought I had to hold something down with my foot, like you do with the clutch in a stick shit. And changing the shifter was supper crazy too. I thought I had to hold something down too. And usually, in an auto you'd put it in reverse when coming out of the driveway, but I put it in neutral. I'm so used to it now! Back when I drove an automatic, I'd never put it in neutral. Lol, damn, its just so funny. Its like a cultural shock or something. I forgot how I went for about 11 months driving an automatic car.

Altogether, I basically looked after myself today. I guess I'm growing up. Yay... and aww... and haha! Yeah, we all grow up... duh. Now, time to grow some more! Which means, I'll try to sleep soon. Goodnight!
