No, this is not another "Charles River" incident. I actually did get to go to a party last night, a sort of "back to school party" me and the 'rents were holding. Actually, it was more like a "going off to college dinner", but why quibble over details? More on that later. But first off, a small piece of good news.
My computer's working again! Well, not quite working, perse, but I have managed to access my comp's Safe Mode. And, as you can see, it even has net access. All the comforts of home, no? Even moreso, actually, because it's way faster. Now if I can just get the screen back to the right size, it seems to be stuck at 800 x 600 pixels....
Back to the party. You see, me and two of my friends are going off to college in September. Dan, Orion, and me, to be exact, though just a couple classes in my case. So Dan, his brother Josh (another friend of mine), Orion, and his brother Chiron (see "Josh") came over, and Dan brought his DDR pad. We ended up spending the night playing DDR, surfing the net, and playing Star Fox Assault. And eating dinner, of course.
Today, I got behind the wheel of a car for the first time (well, on the east coast, at least, I've had plenty of practice on the west coast). Me and my mom went out to Ayer, so I could practice my driving skills. On the way there, I got a little carsick, teaching me a valuable lesson: never read in a new car. The nauseating smell plus me reading the car's owners manual? Motion sickness, holding on line 1. Still, once I got behind the wheel, all of that evaporated. Well, mostly. I did feel a tad bit outta sorts, but I think it was just a relapse of my previous carsickness. Still, I'd like to think I did quite well.
Well, that's it for today. I'll try to get those underwater photos scanned, so I can post them here, by tomorrow. Until then, au revoir, amis!
