I went to my first session of driving school today. I spent ten hours there. Most of that time was waiting in line for my turn to run over as many cones as possible. I took out my stereo before going, so I ws extrememly bored. I also got sunburned. But I made a new friend. And now I know what to do if an elephant falls out of the circus truck in front of me and I have to change lanes suddenly. So that's good.

My grandfather died last night. I just felt like telling someone. Thank all none of you for listening.

Just remembered a few choice details: I saw American Pie yesterday. I was bemused. I'd never known that sex in high school was like that. And where are all these parties whose liquor overfloweth? Aside from those mostly cosmetic typical movie stereotypes, there was something very unsettling about the movie. I haven't put my finger on what disturbed me yet, but I have a feeling that it had to do with the two couples who took themselves seriously. Kevin and Vickie, and Chris and Heather. They were somehow not quite of this world.
And I was looking at my page and only just now realized that for an entire month I had been using "June" instead of "July". Oops. My profuse apologies to all.

Finally back at my mom's house. She is now "Mrs. Anne R. Roberts", as of July 31. The wedding was lovely, the reception was fun, in case anyone cared. Then it was back to my dad's house for a couple of weeks. And now here again. I went to my new school to register today. It was a pain in the ass. It was hot in the building. I waited in one line for 45 minutes. Then I was allowed into the area in which actual registration occured. Then I waited in line another half-hour to get my ID picture taken. Andafter that it was all easy. Every time I go to that school I feel like sobbing. It's so dark. And big. And ugly. And people are so indifferent to me. At least that's better than being looked up and down and judged on the spot. But still. I feel very uncomfortable, and chances are that I will for a good long time. Sigh. It's a depressing place, that school. Everyone looks the same. I mean in regards to clothing. That's depressing too. Oh well. If it goes badly I can always slit my wrists and watch my life drain away into the toilet.

I got a manicure today. My nails are purple and my hands are silky smooth. I went driving on a biggish road today, too. I went about 30 mph. I was nervous. A couple of times I changed lanes without looking behind me. That was stupid. But I forgot! And nothing bad happened. So. My dad is very depressed. My mom is remarrying, and I think he's bitter because he doesn't have a girlfriend and also he is going back to school, so he's feeling very poor. I have a new bottle for my bottle collection. A large chianti bottle, you know, with the reeds. I also have a chianti bottle without reeds, but with a unicorn on the label. It was a very good wine. Very flavorful. I try to taste the other flavors in wine, but all I can sense is the vinegary taste and sometimes tannin and even less frequently the actual grapes. almost all of my relations are winos, though, so I think that it's in my genes to be able to taste wines. At least I know what tannin is, right? Not many teenagers know that. I bought four CDs at a used CD place and spent seven bucks. Not too shabby! This place is called "Earth Pig" and they have large bins with no-name bands for $1. So I bought three of those and then another CD for $4. They're pretty good. I also listened to a German-language record that was pretty weird, it was like German rap from the eighties. I almost bought it, but I decided not to. I did look at a Styx album for some time. But I didn't buy it, either. One day I'll have my own turntable. But for now I must be happy using my dad's when I'm at his house. Enough yammering for today, I think. I must be off to find some cheats for my Ren and Stimpy game.
