I got the battery disconnected and put it in my car and started to leave when my mom said she had other errands for me to run as well. Andrea called again during that and asked why I wasn't there yet. I told my mom I'd bring Andrea home and then do the errands since she'd hate to be driven around like that, and my mom agreed with the idea. I brought her home while listening to Ace of Base. We both really like that group, and we used to when we were a lot younger, so it's like part of our childhood brought back.

My mom gave me the things needed for the errands and then I looked at the time. It was 2:58 and the high school got out at 3, so I could pick Amy and Matt up from school, too. I hurried over there and found Matt right away. He was happy to ride home with me instead of the bus. He said he saw Amy heading toward the east wing, so we went that way and met up with her coming back toward us. She said she couldn't find Ellen anywhere and she usually gets a ride home from her.

We went and visited Ms. Bandow. She was surprised to see me a little, and she asked me where I was working and such. Then she went back to what she was busy with. I don't think she even read my Sohcahtoa story yet. I briefly saw Ms. Turley, but she was in a meeting. While walking out, I asked which room Mr. Shelley was in and Amy was like, "In the only room with the door open, of course." Amy was wearing her cool black pants with the zippers going halfway up the legs and metal loops along the belt loops. She has black boots and was wearing one of her black shirts. I need some more cool clothes like that. At least I'll be getting a Squall Leonhart jacket, as well as a leather Sephiroth trenchcoat. We walked into Mr. Shelley's class where he was helping students out who needed extra help with math. He saw me and after a short pause, he muttered, "Heh heh heh." We didn't talk much because he had to get back to what he was doing, so we just left.

I informed my siblings that we'd have to run a few errands, but we'd stop by Dairy Queen to make up for it. Matt and I got a chocolate chip cookie dough Blizzard while Amy ordered a banana split. After that, she said she really felt like having a salad, so I ordered that and got a corn dog for myself. Matt added that he wanted some fries. So, we had dessert, then normal food. We left there and I dropped off the money to the dentist office. Then I put my mom's check in the ATM, and I filled my gas tank up with supreme from Chevron. The last stop was to Les Schwab to test the battery. When we got there, I noticed it had leaked on my cool flame mat and the carpet. The guy said to clean it up ASAP so it won't eat everything away. He tested it and it tested fine. He said that the carpet it got on was probably already disolved, but that baking soda kills acid. I got home and put baking soda on the wet carpet and hosed my mat off.

At night, I got into a chat with Kelli and Jamie, though it was mostly them talking because I had my game of Xenogears paused and Matt wanted to play the Mobile Suit Gundam game he rented before he went to bed. I wasn't about to lose what I had done, including beating really hard bosses, so I played until I got to a save point. That took a lot longer than I was hoping it would. Several times I was tempted to just pause it and join in the chat again since it was taking so long, but Matt was waiting and the more I played, the more I'd lose if I just turned it off. I saved it and got off a few minutes before Kelli had to go.

While talking to Jamie, my dad called me into the front room to watch a movie that he had to return tomorrow, and he needed to be up early to take Andrea to work at 6, so he needed to watch it right away. I said I would. I was thinking it was "Bulletproof Monk" because we rented that, but he said to put in the other one. I looked and saw it was "Solaris". That was a very slow and emotional movie. It was weird, but I could identify with it very well. It reminded me of "What Dreams May Come" and had the same astmosphere as "Signs". My parents didn't like it because it was too slow and pointless. Solaris is also the name of the enemy country on Xenogears.
