I'll be taking the written test for my permit Saturday.

Ouch. >_<

[Russ]

I am an idiot. I managed to get hurt by falling off of my couch!

It's not really that bad. 2 points for not the best parallel parking in the world, 3 counts of slowing down far too much at a yield sign (2 points each), and I accidently screwed up two left turns (5 points each). Just have to practice a bit more. The procter waived the 2 week wait time since they were pretty basic mistakes, too, but it doesn't really matter since he only comes to town once a month. And hell if I'm going to take the driving test in Saskatoon.

Now, my brother got 66 points. That's like, 57 over.

[Koopa]

66 points? Was he drunk at the time?

Nah, he wasn't impaired or anything. He just sucks at driving. One hand on the wheel, missing obvious stop signs, blaming a pink van for not slowing down when he was on a yield sign, that sort of thing.

A classic: Cake or Pie?

Another classic: Ninjas or Pirates?

Yet another: Zelda or Mario?

[Alestance]

Pie wielding Ninja Zelda is just silly.

I'd blame a pink van simply for the reason that it was a distracting color and therefore a menace to all who frequent the roadways of North America.

Yes, Pink vans just scream "Look at me while that BMW crashes into you!"

[Fuzzy]

Pink vans seem to be the largest demographic of vehicles in the pool of people who cut me off in the Pizza Parlor Parking Lot. I work there, and the vehicular acess to it is pretty akward the first few times you visit.

Okay, so it's the Alpine Days Festival where I live the weekend! The only downside: I have to work a booth with my mom. However, it's for a good cause. It's a fund raiser for a camp for kids with life-threatening illnesses. It's names Camp Korey in honor of the son of the person in charge, who dies when he was just a kid from bone cancer. I spent all morning packaging cookies for sale at the booth. The whole time, it felt like somebody was watching me, and I could have sword I saw the red baseball cap he always wore out of the corner of my eye. It was a little bit creepy.

woah...freaky.

There's a book locally published that tells about all the supernatural rumors from minnesota, including the gang shooting at the wabasha caves (which has, in fact, been a staple of mystery shows through the decades).

The story behind the gang thing was that apparently in the wabasha caves (which was once a speakeasy, I think, but is now a dance hall) in the 1920s, in a back room, there was a dispute between some members of a gang. They were gambling, and they all pulled out guns and shot each other. Then the waitress walks in and finds them dead. So she calls the cops, and when they get there, the bodies are gone, not a speck of blood anywhere.

There are quite a few more, majority of which revolve around the James J. Hill house, but Russ's seems a lot more real.

I randomly hear voices, they don't usually say anything more than a few syllables, and of those syllables no words form. I also... feel strange feelings that I can't explain most of the time. That eerie feeling of being watched, you could say. That feeling seems to work on people, though, as I usually catch people trying to catch me by surprise... by surprise... hmm. But a lot of times, no ones there too.
