I got my license!

Today I came home from school and my friend Sydney (or babytreegirl if your from www.frenchboys.net) and we went to our old middle school to visit teachers, but the one we wanted to visit wasn't there. So then we went to our elementary school and visited our 4th/6th grade teacher and just looked around at stuff.  Then we went back to my house and my dad had to go to the hospital in Orem to get more medicine in his IV.  So we had to go because the theatre we were going to later was near there. 
     So we gathered up a bunch of random stuff to do and left. I got to drive. We went in the hospital, my dad checked in, and we watched Spongebob in the waiting room.  Then we realized that there would not be enough time to grab food before it was time to be at the theatre, so my dad gave Sydney and I 6 bucks to go to the hospital cafeteria.  We ate and then my dad came and we left.  It turned out they turned his drip on really high so he got done really fast so we had extra time.  So we went to K-mart to look for presents for my sisters b-day tomorrow.  I got really angry and discovered that I have a double jointed pinky.  (You had to be there to understand, lol)  After that my dad dropped us off at the theatre and we went and sat down.  We had 2nd row seats so it was really awesome.  JEKYLL AND HYDE IS NOW OFFICIALLY ONE OF MY FAVORITE MUSICALS!  And it's like right up there next to Les Mis which scares me.  Partly because the actor playing Jekyll/Hyde was PERFECT and just so awesome!  My favorite scenes where when he sang "This is the Moment", (he had so much conviction, and yeah, it was awesome) the first time he transforms, and near the end when he is fighting against himself, constantly changing back and forth.  When he was Hyde he would throw his hair over his face, so the whole scene his hair was like everywhere.  That scene gave me the chills.  It was especially funny because the very next scene is his wedding, and he has his hair hastily tied back in a ponytail.  lol.  But I strongly recomend this show if you get a chance.

Driver's Test

On Monday I got to drive to school at 6 AM and took my test. I got there first so the other boy testing had to go first. Which helped me a lot because I was so nervous. He took his and screwed up like half the manuvers and did a ton of stuff wrong. I thought he failed but he barely passed. So I knew I would have no problem. When I was done he said I did good, I only had trouble with like something about lanes and speed control. (I didn't speed up quickly enough once.) But yeah, I am so relieved it's over with.

Update

Sorry I took so long to make this update.  I just keep forgetting.  Anyway, my Dad got about 100 stitches and 2 days after the accident we found out that the doctor didn't give him any antibiotics.  So now like every 8 hours a nurse has to come to our house and give him an IV of antibiotics. 
      Anyway, other updates: I am taking my drivers test on Monday morning. I am so nervous! I haven't even practiced for like a week, and my parents don't seem very willing to take me.  But I am just going to bug them a lot and hope it works!  Today (Saturday) we had like a little mini yardsale and Janessa found this awesome instument called a "Violin Uke" I think.  It's so creepy. It's shaped like a coffin and has all minor cords so it sounds like as if in a scary movie.  Janessa and I are working on a little short scary clip that we are going to make.  I slowly go into the basement which is dark and creepy while Janessa plays scary music on the Uke.  I open this one door in our basement, scream, and get pulled in.  The door slams shut and Janessa hits all the strings at once and it makes this really freaky sound.  When we practice Nessa said my scream scared her. I am so happy because I've never taken any acting classes and I didn't think I would be able to scream. But it really is scary in the room. It's pitch black. You just have to see my basement to understand, it would be perfect for any scary movie.  The first part is all cement, and the room I go into is all dirt. Like dirt walls and everything. (heh, sorry for that rant :))
      Today we also gave away 2 of our kittens.  Mocos to some people that live next door in the apartments, and Winecask to this guy who helped renovate the apartments.  We didn't ask what number the lady who took Mocos lives in, but I will have to find out soon so I can go visit.

Dad gets cut

I was at the computer (but where else?) when my dad walked in and said: "Ok, I'm going to the hospital right now".  It scared me because he is so not like that. Usually he needs the hospital, but no matter what my mom does, he refuses to go.  Well, I guess he can tell when it's serious.  He was using the skill saw to cut wood.  It was his last piece and out of carelessness he cut through the wood and then halfway through his thigh.  You see, he was standing, holding the wood with his left hand, and had the skill saw (in case you don't know, a skill saw is a hand held electric saw, that has a round blade and spins really fast.) in his right.  He cut through the wood and then tripped or something, but mainly it was carelessness and he hit his leg.  I don't know.  Right now he is at the hospital and has been for about an hour.  I saw his cut right before he left (I happened to walk into the room while he was showing it, I really didn't want to though) and it looked nearly bone deep and was probably a foot long, if not close to it.  More updates when he calls or gets back!
