Last night I was challenged by my friend to have a day so fun that he'd be jealous that he wasn't here, and he would try to have a day so fun that I'd be jealous that I wasn't there. He had it easy. But it was a challenge, and I accepted.
So I woke up at 6-something all of a sudden, for no reason at all. I was just...awake. I was confused right when I woke up about where I was, because I slept on an air mattress in the family room. But I lay there for a minute as my brain slowly woke up, and then I realised where I was. Da came into the family room and did stuff on the laptop, and I read Harry Potter #6. Then I got tired and lay my head down and was half-asleep, and then I was all the way asleep. I woke up again at 10am and just lay there. I didn't want to get up. But I did, and had breakfast, and then got ready, 'cuz we went to see a movie for Giselle's 13th B-day. We saw "Bedtime Story" with Adam Sandler. It was good. Kinda reminded me of "Night At The Museum", but it was cool. Not crude at all. I took a few photos while at the theatre. Then we went home, and I had lunch, and then at 3:30pm went down to the shopping district. On the way there I listened to music from my iPod that I plugged in to the car. I turned it up really loud and sang along sometimes. That's one of the best things in the world, blasting music. Especially in a car, because then you're all enclosed and surrounded by sound. It was way windy outside, and cold. I returned a CD to Target, then went to Hobby Lobby and browsed for a while, and lamented over the high prices and my lack of true artistic talent. No, really. I just do it for fun; I'm not that good. Sure, I may have "potential" or whatever, but potential does not make a great painting. Anyways, I had fun there. As I was checking out (I got a big thing of crimson paint, payne's gray, and a life-sized paper drink-umbrella thing. It's so cool!!), I looked outside, and saw the sun shining its last rays on some buildings, so that the buildings were lit up all orange and the background was dark gray overcasty clouds. That's the best. So I was upset when checking out took a long time. I rushed outside to my car, drove around the stores to the back, where I had a clear view of the sunset, then hurriedly parked the car and jumped out and furiously photographed the last few minutes of the sunset. I wish I had been there earlier; it was spectacular.
After the sunset fun, I didn't want to go home, but didn't know what else to do, so I drove over to the mall parking lot and listened to my music and read HP6. Then mum called and said that wasn't safe, so I went inside the mall and read. Did that for about 2 hours, then got really hungry and called to see what was up. Nothing, as always, so I invited Aurora out to eat. I picked her up and we didn't know where to go, so eventually I just chose Olive Garden, 'cuz I've only ever been there once. We had fun there. But it was a lot more expensive than I thought it'd be, so we split an entree. Then we went to Barnes and Noble and I got three books- The Complete Idiot's Guide to Playing Piano, Anatomy and Physiology Coloring Workbook, and Theory and Harmony for the Contemporary Musician. I'm really excited about the A&P book, because it looks really informative and helpful. I do have an anatomy coloring book, but that's just anatomy. I like physiology tambien. It was $50 though....but I don't regret buying it.

*Talked to a lot of friends on Facebook, and established that one of my friends was indeed my friend and wasn't just pretending to be (both the talking to friends and the establishing a friendship made me really happy; I've been feeling really lonely and this helped a LOT. Heavenly Father answers prayers!!!)
*Watched some of Planet Earth with Mum- This show is WAY cool!
Oh, an incident:
We were driving up the driveway to go into the garage when we saw a little rodent thing that lives with its two other family members in my window area. It was running around the front lawn, and then ran onto the driveway. Mum said, "Run over it with the car!" (Aurora was driving), and I think Mum was only half-serious. Except we moved forward and looked back, and Aurora had run over it a little bit, so when I turned to look around at it, I saw it on its back, legs moving as if it were trying to run, suffering. Mum told Da to go out and kill it, hurry, it's suffering. I screamed a little bit then covered my ears with my hands and leaned forward, putting my head down. I even had some tears. My reaction surprised me. I didn't know I'd do that. But I can't get that image out of my head, the little thing frantically peddling the air. I've gotten so used to 'em by my window, scratching in the night, and now there will only be two. It's sad.
So yeah. I still need to do my jobs and then watch "V for Vendetta". And Hobby Lobby is hiring, and Aurora said she can get me a job at Hollister. Once again, Heavenly Father answers prayers! I had a good day.
