I want to let anyone out there know that I will put up some pictures over the weekend. I have some of Blake on the Gateway, but I don't have any of Ginger. I'm going to try and take some of her and I have one of them together so I'll see if I can scan it. I have to try and find a good picture of myself or have my Dad take one, because the ones of me look either really outdated, or ugly. I had one of me at prom, but my eyes are closed and I think that is one of my best features. Anyway, I basically want to put a picture in my profile, but I don't have any that are good enough (or probably small enough) to fit. Can you just resize a photo in Paint or do you need PSP 8 to do that? Or any other photo program for that matter.
I didn't do much yesterday because there was no school. I wrote my English essay and did the usual stuff. I woke up early today to work out because I thought that I had to go to Jazz Ensemble today. It was cancelled, so I didn't have to do anything. I just played guitar and went on the computer when I got home. I won't know if I got into Jazz Ensemble for sure until Thursday. I was kind of angry about that, having to drive to and from CCRI for nothing. I HATE driving and I could probably say that until the cows come home.
I'm going to hand in the essay I posted last night to my English teacher tomorrow. I'm going to use Eternal Sunshine as my movie because I really like it and I think I have a decent understanding of it. I'm not fully sure what book I want to use, if I had my way I would use Don Quixote, because I think it's funny, even though it's probably outdated because chivalry doesn't exist anymore. Yet, that book is about six hundred pages (I think) and I never did get past the two hundred mark. I could do Stargirl but it's not really an adult book. Part of me wants to do a book I've read but part of me wants to do one that I haven't read. Does anyone have any ideas as to if I should do one I have read or one I haven't? I know my Mom had tons of mystery novels and the teacher said anything is okay as long as it's adult but doesn't have Fabio on the cover (who honestly reads those books and dreams of a guy who looks like Fabio?).
I went to my Dad's tenth anniversay dinner at Foxwoods. Foxwoods is a casino in Connecticut, in case you haven't heard of it. They have this really cool arcade called the Treehouse and if you're ever there and you like games that involve speeding and crashing expensive cars (vidoe games, I mean) check it out. They even have a Wheel of Fortune game (I love the Wheel, but everyone thinks it's a dumb game, which I can sort of agree, though one time I got one wrong and guess what the answer was? The New England Patriots! I felt I should've gotten that one, there aren't many people around here who aren't rooting for them.), though I really want to spin the real thing someday, but not on national tv. I want to sit on it while it spins, too, just to know how it feels, I bet it would make a person really dizzy. I'm sorry if I sound crazy.
Anyway, the dinner sucked. All they had was seafood and some stupid stuff like prime rib. Who eats prime rib? It has to be at least twenty points if not more (on the Weight Watchers program, I mean). That's my whole allowance for the day, on some stupid piece of meat, and I actually think it's about forty. So, I didn't eat a thing there and got some pizza before we left. My Dad gets to pick out some gift from a catalogue. I like the Van Gogh painting that they have, but he likes the bike. I don't think he'll use it honestly, but there's nowhere in my room to hang anything anymore anyway, and they sell a bunch of Van Gogh posters at Newbury for seven dollars, in case I ever want one. I think I'll put one in my dorm room when I get one.
Oh and Blake tried to walk in the snow today, but there's about two or three feet of it. He fell and couldn't get out of it. It took him a few minutes to get out of it and it was funny to watch him grab at the sides of the snow and fall over. I almost think he did that because I was sad and I started laughing when I saw it and not too long after, he got out of it. I feel really close to him, even though he is a dog. I feel like he really loves me, and even though I have had two dogs (including Ginger) before him, I think he really loves me, whereas my other dogs weren't or haven't been as nice to me. I feel like he can tell how I'm feeling and it's so cute how he sympathizes with me when I'm sad.
I'm going to go to bed now. I'll write more later, probably tomorrow or Friday. I have Music Theory 2, Piano, Jazz History and English tomorrow, in that order. I also have to go to my guitar lesson in West Greenwich at four thirty, so I might be really busy. I'm going to bed now because I'm pretty tired. Bye!
