  some may think the title refers to my dad, but no. today, i drove for the first time with my permit. i didn't do to bad. need to work on my stopping. i didn't drive with an instructor, but rather with my dad. the most cautious guy on the road. it's kind of sad. as long as i don't start acting like him, i think i'll be ok. i don't really see whats so special about driving either.
i'd rather sit on the passengers side of the car, but thats because i like to space out a lot. speaking of spacing out, band camp starts on monday. woo hoo. i'm so excited. i get to join up with all my friends. well, maybe not. one of my parents said they were going to take care of the payment thing, but they've gotten a little lazy. and so now, i might not be able to participate. i hope i can, i've already spent a lot of time on the music.
and i cut my hair to about a half inch for it so i wouldn't get to hot. oh, well. tomorrow, i'm going to duluth. i don't really know why. i suppose we'll go to gander mtn. and best buy. i hope we go to the mall so i can go to schmidt music. it's the only good music store in the area, and it's 80 miles away, so, hyea-ya. i guess i get to drive to floodwood. that'll be...fun. today, my dad got a call from one of his co-worker type people, named Roger Brown. He's got a daughter, named Rachel. And it just so happens she's in my class/grade. We hang out a little in school.
(and for those of you keeping track at home, this is the same family that Aron, mentioned in a previous post, comes from) And so, he's alway "teasing" me about any girl he knows about, and rachel in particular. And since he got this phone call this morning, he felt that he had to "tease" me even more today. Like, when he got off the phone he made some comment like "that was your father-in-law on the phone" and just other comments like that.
or, when we were at wal*mart today, we drove by the Brown residence, and he made a comment along the lines of "oh, geeze. i suppose you wanted to go see your girlfriend. " and it's just stupid stuff like that that annoys me, and it gets old, after about, well even before the first time.. well, i know i broke my altimate rule of whining, but i have done and did something about it, i talked to him, so it's not as crucial, but it still counts.
i'm such a hypcrite. and bad speller. that'll be it for now. i'm out. see ya! cory leppanen RELATED LINKS urlLink Grand Rapids High School Marching Band (Minnesota) urlLink Wal*Mart urlLink Grand Rapids High School (Minnesota) and just for the record, rachel is a cool kid and if she wanted, i'd be more than happy to ...
