>> So yeah, glenien and I tried to buy some decent tickets for Avatar today and naturally failed to do so, because people apparently went crazy and bought everything for the weekend. We had to postpone it to next week, because we didn't want to see it anywhere other than IMAX. *snob*

>> Got my driver's license yesterday! Hooray! It looks pretty ♥

>> If you still want to have some LJ coupons, go here. I still have 10 coupons to give away.

>> Watched Alice. ( Hatter was awesome, but other than that... )

>> Also watched first 2 parts of BBC's Emma. ( Romola Garai is perfect! )

>> Taylor Swift's The Best Day is my new obsession, such a cute song! God smiles on my little brother, inside and out he's better than I am... Exactly. I love my little brother, even though he is a total bitch sometimes, LOL. Still, if you have a younger sibling, it's the closest thing to being a mother/father. I know that "willingness to give my life for him" feeling, it is amazing. /end of emo section of the post>

>> Mom bought the biggest (and real) Christmas tree ever. It is really huge. She kinda went overboard with it this year, LOL! We spent a good 2 hours with dad, trying to put the lights on it, but it was so much fun. (Then he ended up buying another set of lights because he thinks it's not bright enough. Wow, dad, never knew you were the decorative type!) We have yet a huge box of ornaments to use... Fun times. I'll take photos once it's done ♥

I had the best day today, yay! ♥ It was my day off and it was totally worth it...

- My last driving lesson was a brilliant success! I actually drove all the way back from the driving course to the city! It was exciting! I think the key to "relaxed driving" is having someone with you who doesn't panic and doesn't give you some kind of advice after your each and every move. I actually made peace with the clutch pedal as well.

- I wrote. Yes, I actually sat down in the afternoon and wrote almost 1400 words without interruption ♥

- Have a downside to all of this as well, but it's not so important. I got my swine flu vaccine shot today and my left arm is extremely sore. It even hurts a little bit when I type... If I can get by tommorrow without any fever or fatigue, I'll be fine.

- The project I've been working on is officially over! My boss called me today and asked me something about it and I'm 90% sure that they deployed it without me and it.is.over. *happy sigh*

- Well, my arm hurts really bad at the moment so I'll stop using it for a while. I have a ton of stuff to download! I've been offline allday! D:

- I once again realized that my daily/weekly/yearly routines are extremely dear to me and if or whenever something or somebody alters my routines I instantly feel depressed. This time it was the whole weekend that got ruined and made me almost cry.

1. There was my very first driving lesson on Saturday and just my luck, the weather was from HELL! ( Damn nature! You're scary! )

2. The depression part came on Sunday. I didn't know that we were going to stay overnight at our other house, so I didn't bring any of my stuff (clothes, books, laptop, etc.) and I ended up sleeping in my underwear because I couldn't find my spare pyjama bottom! It was freezing at night. Damn the cold!

3. And since we didn't plan on staying the night we didn't bring the hamster dude with us, I feared that he died from extreme cold weather the whole time!
It wasn't that cold and he didn't die, but he scared me to death, because when I got home on Sunday night I found him in the cage, staring wide eyed at me. I shook the cage a little bit, but he didn't move at all! Just when I was about to assume that he froze just like that, eyes open, ears down, my little white ball of fur blinked and I wanted to sit down and cry!

4. It was 1 am when we finally got home on Sunday, because we waited for my mom in the airport for 2 straight hours. It was cold and boring and depressing and I had to take a bath before I went to bed, so I finally went to sleep at 2 am or something...

5. I won't do the same mistake again next weekend. I'm taking my pj's and books and laptop! But I still think somebody should erase the existance of the clutch pedal and do it very soon.

I couldn't write, read, relax at all. It felt like 2 months in the middle of nowhere (although it was another version of home) and I don't want to experience that again. Do not take my routines away from me, I need them and I love them as much as I hate the clutch pedal!

Drive safely, my friends. Drive safely...
