A Pretty Good Beginning.

Considering all things, January first was pretty good. For one thing, I was up until 7:30, and slept until 11:00. And yet, I've had no problem staying up until... whenever I fall asleep tonight (it's 5:20 at time of writing). But, onto today. I went to see my grandmother at a local outdoor mall (grandfather was working at my aunt's house, installing a new oven). We went to see 'Marley & Me'. It's a hilarious movie, and very easy to relate to... in every relationship shown. Except, I've never actually gotten mad at a dog. XD But yeah, pretty good. But, the ending... well, if you've ever had to euthanise(sp?) a dog, or otherwise let go... go to the bathroom or something. I've personally known and lost four dogs (three were general-family dogs, one I owned--who didn't die, but was put up for adoption), and I had trouble restraining tears (one dog in particular, whom I had a similar relationship to as the first-born kid and Marley--that dog was born before I was, and I spent many of my childhood years with or thinking of him). Even my brother had red/watery eyes. And, my grandmother (who owned the aforementioned dog) was crying, but doing OK otherwise... even being able to make us all laugh (I love her so much). After that, we went to an ice cream place. The fans were on, and in front of lights--so we all got headaches. This is also where I was rejoined by my mum and her boyfriend (who have made up once again--break up damn it!). Later, my grandmother left, and we went to window shop laptops. I found three, all over $100 out of my range. But, my mother offered to help pay the rest off, but later. Her boyfriend, who's always been this way, offered nothing. But I'll save ranting on him for a later blog (maybe). Anyways, it was sort of annoying. Seeing something I've desired for so long so close, yet far away... makes me almost want to screw it and buy a nice camera + iPod Touch. But I can't, my grade's already dropped because my teacher won't accept papers not in rich text, which the Wii/my old compy can't do (the latter actually able, but not reliable to--and not even with Word). Then we went home, her boyfriend left, and I ended up in my room, browsing the Internet and watching the Wizards of Waverly Place marathon. And now, I'm here typing a blog. Pretty cool day, by what I've done. =D

  1. For anyone who doesnt know, Windows XP comes with Word, and Vista comes with Works Word Processor. Identical programs, but they will not open each other's documents.

    A few days before school was out for the holidays, I had an essay due in English which I had typed up in Works Word Processor. We were allowed to e-mail our essay to the teacher, which was helpful for people like me who had a broken printer. Since my teacher uses an XP computer, she wouldn't accept my essay because she couldn't open it -_-.

    She'd better give me marks--the essay's done; not my fault she's stuck back on an XP!

  2. My teachers use Word. Plus, the side of that laptop's box had, in all caps, "DOES NOT HAVE MICROSOFT WORD". Or something like that. XD
