5. I’m very good at understanding theoretical concepts but am utterly incapable of developing any practical skills (thus – graduate school!)
4. I am used to driving with Sonic Youth’s 100% blasting out of the speakers because it is my Driving Song. It is very, very difficult to drive without it.
3.5. It’s hard to pretend the car is the Millenium Falcon (key to driving success) when there’s some strange man who bears no resemblance to Han Solo sitting in the passenger seat.
3. I learned to drive on Highway 21, where one is more likely to encounter a cow than, say, another car.
2. I hear that RIM’s almost got that teleportation technology down pat so, seriously, what’s the point.
1. Almost sideswiping that car on the freeway might have had something to do with it, not to mention the following exchange:
Examiner: There was a car there. You almost hit it.
Alexandra: Well, Shit.
Ohhh : (
I should have let you borrow the oldsmobile. Then you might have gotten killed before you had to suffer the ordeal of failing that test.
bummer. Your new header is real nice though.
Nice blog!
but doesn’t swearing make the car drive better?
Don’t worry, everyone fails the first time.
oooooh….very psychadelic! neon 80s returns!! But with a hippy twist…I think. Anyway, that’s my interpretation and it isn’t worth much.
Just tell the examiner that you won’t drive where there are other cars, just cows…even if that means you will have to be a pedestrian for the rest of your life. He may buy it.
I’m not terribly torn up about the driving test because I just went in assuming I was going to fail. I’ve got an appointment to try again next week when I’m at home in Bruce County, where they haven’t heard of freeways yet.
And thank you for all the compliments on the header! I was going for Art Nouveau on acid.
