Welcome back, baby.

I just got my laptop back! Yay! I'm so happy! It looks huge!! I'm not even kidding. Even though its a small (14 inch screen) laptop, using the HP mini (10.2 inch screen) for the last couple of days totally messed up my perception.

I got this laptop from my dad, and it only had 512MB of RAM, with Vista. Those are two things that should not be paired. So I finally decided to take it to a tech and add 2 GB of RAM to it. It runs so much faster now! I will be able to use Photoshop more easily, and watch movies, and other good stuff.

But I am going to miss the webcam of the HP mini. That was so much fun :[

I need my driver's license.

I got my driving permit a couple of days after my 18th birthday. Almost one year later, I still don't have my driver's license. This is pathetic!! I admit it! And the worst thing is that I needed to get my license before going back to school, because my brother (who was my chauffeur [jk, jk]) is going to another school from now on. And I, like the good procrastinator I am, have waited until the last moment to sit down and study.

I have fourteen days until school starts, and I need my license ASAP!! I'm thinking about cramming the handbook and taking the tests on next Tuesday, and that's stretching it. I have been taking a lot of hands-on-the-wheel practice. You know, driving to Walmart for milk, or driving my mom to run errands. And also I've been doing that in a car with manual transmission, which slowed me down, but I now master. (Actually I stalled it today while pulling into the garage, but I'm ignoring this incident).

So wish me luck!

PS. I miss my laptop so much!! :[ I will hopefully get it back tomorrow, though :]

New Banner!

Check out my new banner! I made it in MS Paint, using a picture that I took for a contest at Doe Deere Blogazine, which at the end I was too late to enter :[ Anyways! My laptop is currently in the hospital getting 2 GB of RAM transplanted, so I'm using my dad's mini laptop. Check it out!:

See how it's almost as small as my mouse pad? Cute!
It's so tiny and cute! The thing I like the most is that it has a webcam and that it is so tiny and light that it can be taken anywhere. But it's just temporary, though.

...Oh, I wandered off again. Basically I meant to say that I had to do the banner in Pain because my laptop, which has Photoshop, is in the computer repair shop-thingy. It will probably be there until Monday, so I had no choice other than to wait; and I didn't want to wait.

Also, I have a cold! Yay! Not really :[ On Thursday afternoon, my mom and I went to Wal-Mart to buy some urgent stuff. When we got out, it was raining a little. I said: "This is so nice! I love the rain!". In the couple of yards to our car, the rain got super heavy, and we ended up all wet. I drove home, which was actually the first time I drove in the rain :], and when we got home I changed clothes and proceeded as normally. The next morning I woke up with cold symptoms. And today, I'm basically a mucous mess.

I've been drinking tons of lemonade, which means tons of trips to the bathroom. And I don't like taking medicine, so I'll just have to rest the cold out of my system. This will be fun :]

New blog name, new start.

I decided to change the name of my blog to "Heart Shaped Pillow". Why? Well, the story is probably not exhilarating, but here it goes: I decided to start a new Blogger account, for an unknown reason. You know, one of those days you wake up and say to yourself: "Today I shall make a new Blogger account!". So I did. I also started a braces blog! Check it out if you want!! And I also started another blog about my parents dysfunctional marriage, which I have yet to post anything on. This may not make a lot of sense since I abandoned my pretty blog for about six months, and now I'm supposed to keep up with three? Let's see how that goes...

... Oh, yeah! I kinda wandered off. So after I made the braces blog and the one about my dysfunctional parents, I decided to import my old blog. But what? I first needed a new blog URL. I tried a few things, like: glittercupcake.blogspot.com, anascupcake.blogspot.com, or lolitasunglasses.blogspot.com, which were all taken (or were just too ridiculus). So I sat here in my desk, waiting for enlightenment, when I looked over to my right; and saw this:


A HEART SHAPED PILLOW!! I thought it was great, it wasn't taken, it didn't have a sexual connotation: SOLD!... (Figuratively talking, since it's free...).

So that's how I came up with the name. I told you it wasn't exciting or anything. But that's exactly how it happened :]

So if you keep reading my blog, thank you! If you just bumped into it, stay!! And I will have more updates soon :]

The Girl With the Hello Kitty Scar: Part II

Today I took a picture of the Hello Kitty in my arm. It's in "scab form" now. I plan on leaving it like this for a couple of days and then peeling it off, so it leaves a deeper mark.

Do you like it?

Random Fact About Myself #2

I don't have a cell phone.

And I don't really want one either. First of all, I don't have anyone to call. Second of all, I'm never really by myself; so I rely on whoever is with me if I need to make a call. Which comes back to the first point, I don't have anyone to call.

If I were to get a cell phone, I'll probably want something cute. Something like this:
But they're only available in Japan...

Also, if I had a cellphone, I would probably get one of these:

What is it? It's a bed, for your cell phone!! ^-^ In my opinion, it is as unnecessary as it is cute. I read you can also use it with your iPod, or in my case, my Sansa Fuze. See the little slippers? They are screen cleaners. How cool is that?!!!

Also, in another topic. Remember I told you I was watching Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve because I wanted to see the Jonas Brothers and Demi and Taylor? Well, apparently I was on the wrong Channel... How lame is that??

Happy New Year!!!

Before I went to bed, I wanted to wish you a very happy New Year! I hope you had an amazing night. I did. My mom made vegetarian lasagna, and we drank wine. Then we watched "Oliver!", it ended about 30 minutes before 12 AM; so I went upstairs to my room because my mom was already fast asleep and my dad was sleepy.

I watched David Cook at the Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve; but I pretty much only wanted to see the Jonas Brothers, which I obviously missed. I saw the countdown and kissed Pepino when the ball dropped. Then I ate a Jolly Rancher hard candy, because I heard that in order to have good news all year, the first thing you eat should be sweet; so I hope that works.

Right now I'm just sipping my wine and watching Frasier. I have a little Christmas story I want to tell you, but I'll do that later today; the wine is making me sleepy.

This year I wish you health, love, success, happiness, and whatever it is that you most want.

Love,
Ana
