I am currently sitting in my basement in the middle of a huge thunderstorm. The reason I am sitting in my basement is because my dog, Clyde, who is absolutely adorable and the sweetest dog in the world, is completely terrified of thunder. So I am sitting here, writing this blog and keeping my dog company.
However, this blog is not about thunderstorms, nor is it about how cute my dog is; This blog is about laziness. Specifically, my laziness. Since I have been home from my recent trip to Europe (I plan on describing that in my next blog. In the meantime, you can watch a video I made about the experience here) I have barely moved. I mean, yes I talk long walks every few days and no, I'm not not moving from my bed. It's just from apart from those long walks and driver's ed, I haven't been out of the house very much.
My parents have become very much annoyed with my lack of movement. I don't understand how it's their problem. They could just be worried, but it's also very annoying for them to suggest that I make plans with someone when they know perfectly well that I don't have a lot of friends.
I mean, it's not that hard to believe, that a person who watches YouTube videos in her free time and instead of going out on a Saturday night watches Doctor Who doesn't have a lot of friends. I would like some nerdfightastic friends, but so far, I'm the only person I know who does these things.
And that's also the reason why I like to watch YouTube videos all the time; Because it lets me know that there are others out there like me, others who are going to nerd out over Pottermore* and want to go to Wizard Rock shows and fan-girl over the latest vlogbrother's video. And just because I don't have a friend like that IRL doesn't mean that I won't find a friend like that on the Internet. Granted, I don't really understand how some people are just like, "Oh, this is my friend I met online," because I'm always wanting to meet friends online with similar interests, but I don't get how it works out. If someone would like to tell me how, that would be very much appreciated.
Ok, I am now completely changing topics** from my loneliness to driver's education. My driver's ed class is two hours a day, Monday through Thursday for three weeks. You also have to drive six hours and observe four hours (not at the same time) with an instructor. So far I have completed my first two weeks of classes, observed for two hours and driven for three. I actually drove today and I thought it went quite well, but driving nearly isn't as easy as I thought it was going to be. The things that I thought were going to be more difficult for me are actually very easy and the things that I thought were going to be easy are ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING. For example, I thought that stopping in time to not cross the stop line was going to be very difficult, but it's very easy. I thought that turning was going to be a breeze*** but it's so scary because you have to watch for a billion things! Like when you can go, that no one is crashing into you, that you're not over the stop line, etc. Anyways, like I said I thought I drove very well today if I do say so myself and I will keep you updated on my driving progress as I continue to drive. Toodles.

**Instead of putting "I am completely changing topics now," like I originally put, I put, "I am now completely changing topics," because I liked it better, but instead of just deleting the "now" I deleted everything until "am." I don't know why I did this and I don't know why I'm telling you now, but I did. Carry on, now.
***Don't question me why I thought stopping would be hard and turning would be easy, ok? I'd never driven before.
