This one.

Ooo, my, I don't believe I've seen this one before. Is it the Hasbro or Takara version?

Hasbro. I couldn't possibly afford the Takara version. DX

Personally I like the look of the Hasbro version more. Also wasn't aware there was a significant price difference

I streetpassed over 20 people at Disneyland yesterday.

You got to go to Disneyland? :O

Yes, that was where my "grad night" was. 

It was fun but very crowded, even when the park was shut off to the general public (after closing time) because of how many schools went. 

I arrived home at around 5 am, which is why I woke up so late today.

So it seems I will be the proud new owner* of a 1994 Ford Ranger for between $400 and $900!

The title allows the vehicle to be sold, now I need to get the truck running again (supposedly just bleed the clutch) and find out what the principal will let the truck be sold for. More than likely the price will be around $850, which is what most of the other vehicles sold this year have been sold for.

I'm also being considered for an apprenticeship at my county's garage! If this works out, then I won't be going to college after all!





Okay so I myself can't own the truck, no insurance company will insure a vehicle owned by someone with a learner's permit. Either my mom or my grandpa will own the truck. I will be paying for all the expenses for the truck though.

Congratulations Truthseeker4449! I hope that truck serves you well and for a long period of time.

you should take me on a trip  Congrats!  Have fun with that bad boy.

I actually have something to be really excited about! My girlfriend and I have been dating for six months! Yay! And we celebrated by...performing at a concert! Double yay! It went really well, we were part of like 10 band kids to play with our AMAZING string players as a small chamber orchestra. The theme was Broadway; I was a soloist in The Impossible Dream from Man of La Mancha, and a medley from the musical Chicago.

Congrats! Hey Cappy, what instrument do you play? (Still super stoked for our marching band show this upcoming year)

I was never in a band but I've played the piano for 12 years and the violin for 7-8 years.

Wow. I'm learning the piano. (Almost done with Fur Elise, I wonder if I can finish it before the school year ends?)

I play a variety of instruments, but tonight specifically I played clarinet, which is my main! I also play piano (my first), guitar, and sax to some extent.

Wow, 12 years? You must be really good! Do you have any favorite things to play?

These are the pieces that I've played that I enjoyed the most sound-wise:

Prelude In C sharp minor:

The person who performed the prelude in the video played it too fast for my taste.

Nocturne in E flat minor:

I need my license first.... Also you make it sound like I'm driving something a lot cooler than what I'm actually am

The truck only has 105 horsepower (a new Honda Odyssey has 254) and no it doesn't have four-wheel drive, which I like since it means that's less weight I have to lug and therefore less fuel I have to burn. But is a super cab with a long bed and towing package.

So this what the speed limit signs on the interstate look like to me:

Also being a super cab means it has this odd feature:

This is what the truck looks like btw, though with red paint instead of this two-color:

I really liked the latter, I may have to learn it. Chopin is like my favorite composer. Him and Debussy.
