student rick - heaven is a place on earth (cover)

let's see... yesterday was eventful! spent all before school in the math room, danced with liz in the middle of the gym after an assembly, and thoroughly enjoyed weight training. after school, took a test and sent my film in (finally!) and went to the mall, where i ran into pretty much everyone i didn't expect to see. at 6 i went and got jeff, and we drove aimlessly around for an hour, talking and listening to the radio and and kissing at the red lights. we got to steel lake at 7, and it was cool being back in the manse, but i still don't like many of the people at the youth group. maybe i shouldn't say that, since i didn't get a chance to meet the new kids. but the old ones were still there, just as annoying as before... oh well. it was still really fun! we went to this haunted woods thing, which was supposed to be supremely scary. jeff and i were walking around behind the group, him pointing out stuff and me laughing at everything they did to try to scare us. eventually the group made us go first, which really didn't change anything, except we got to see everything first! so yeah. after, jeff 'n i were going to eat at wendy's, but it'd been taken over by everyone after the football game, so we went through the drive-thru and i got food, and jeff didn't eat anything, of course. we tried driving to steel lake park, but steam started billowing out of the hood of my car, so we didn't. i stopped the car in the middle of a residential street and we sat on the trunk looking at the stars while it cooled. we were both freezing our asses off, and he held me to keep me warm. i've decided to put a blanket in the backseat or trunk for situations like this, since they seem to happen quite a bit. anyway, around 11, when the engine had cooled and wasn't making any strange noises, we got in and i tried to drive jeff home, but it started twacking out around 1st ave. i didn't want to risk killing the car, but it hurt even more to ask jeff to walk home... but he did, and i still feel horrible, but also very, very grateful, because i barely made it through my neighborhood. every time i tried to hit the gas, the car would lurch and there would be this creepy grinding sound... so i pretty much coasted through the neighborhood, coaxing and praying for the car to make it... i did, and i parked and jumped out of the car and ran into the house to tell my dad... i couldn't help but notice katy outside next door, laughing her ass of, though. and i have to admit, it was pretty funny. anyway, it's all okay, the car's in the shop and should be fixed by the time i get back on tuesday.
this morning i took the psat's. i'm starting to think i shouldn't have. after all, aren't they supposed to give people the wrong idea about what the sat's are like? oh well. it's too late now. i don't really care how well i did, but i am hopeful that i did moderately okay. the whole reason i took them was because i heard that colleges are looking at psat scores now, and it'd be bad if mine were really low. but yeah, jon was in the same room as me for the test, and it was good to talk to him again. it's been too long since the last time we hung out. after everything, my mom came and picked me up, and i came home and i just woke up from my nap. now i have to shop for last-minute business attire, and start my giant pile of homework for the next week. joy!
