Get down, get funky
Jun. 11th, 2001 04:47 pmFirst of all, thanks to everyone who's wished me a happy birthday on livejournal -- I feel very loved! It's much appreciated.
Went to the DMV today and got new photo. I got horribly lost on my way there, ended up circling the DMV for ten minutes vulture-like without realizing I was doing so. Finally found the building (sneakily camouflaged with a massive "COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES" sign) and ran in twenty minutes before closing because, really, I wouldn't know what to do if I wasn't running desperately late. Got a new picture taken -- actually got to choose between:
(1) Photo in which I look God-awful
(2) Photo in which I look frighteningly intense
and
(3) Photo in which I look somewhat vacant and lost.
I choose #3. Under pressure, though, with the DMV staring daggers at me. I fear that I made the wrong decision, but oh well. It's not like it's going to follow me for years or anything. :)
Handed in my first final today one minute after the deadline but the prof hadn't gathered up the basket yet -- woo! I was looking skanktacular -- holey pajama T-shirt I bought seven years ago in a grocery store, jeans, hair hastily pulled into a ponytail. Winner all around. Of course, ran into friend I hadn't seen in weeks (who looked exceptionally well-put-together, of course) and felt even scummier. But oh well.
Birthday has been good. Calls, e-mails, cards from family and friends. Roommate gave me a copy of When Harry Met Sally that I am nobly ignoring! Cannot watch until finals are over! Also, had cheese quesadilla for lunch. Woo! Altogether lovely.
Am off to contemplate being productive before meeting family.
I'm 21!
