It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like...Spring

Woot! Spring is here, which means one of many things to me.
1. My Birthday! (Of course ;D)
2. Pretty Flowers :D
3. Thunderstorms.
4. Growing stuff!

Yes my birthday is next month...I need to get more driving practice in! My "BFF4L" Emma already has her's...JEALOUS!...This makes me think of one of my pet peeves..UNSAFE DRIVING. I recently drove with one of my newly liscensed friends (Not Emma). He passed his test with a 95% or so...Driving with him, my life flashed before my eyes... I mean, going "OHH A HILL!" and then ACCELERATING is not safe, and is one way to scare the crud out of your friends! (Especially with a stop sign at the bottom of the hill...) He also found great interest in speeding, and blasting his music.  My ears are still ringing..I guess this experience lets me know who I WON'T be driving with anytime soon..

Anyways, today after school I learned the ropes of stage crew in theater...Literally! I learned the FLY (i think is what they call it..) or for all of those tech-dumb people, i learned how to move the curtains and backdrops up and down! Seems easy, but it's really dangerous! Since curtains and stuff are really heavy, you have to have weights on the ropes to balance them out. Now imagine if it were unbalanced, and either the weights or a pole/curtain came crashing down.  That would be very...unsafe.. Anyways, i'll spare you the gory details that I was lectured with for over an hour... (It's very complex!)
