roses are red,

and so am i because i miss you.

Driving Ms. Daisy

I have never seen this movie so i highly doubt that the subject of this post has anything to actually do with this movie. so my apologies if you have actually seen this movie.  but the main point is. i am driving. so i got my permit friday (yay) after about 2 hours at the DMV (not so yay)

anyways, today was my first driving lesson with my father. normally he is a kind of abrasive man...but today he was relatively calm while in the car with me. although i did see him grip the door handle many a times.  im not really sure where he thought we were going considering i saw driving around in an empty parking lot. but i guess i can understand his concern.  so all was going well, he wasnt doing too much yelling or anything, giving good direction i was making awesome turns...and then my dad goes, lets park between those 2 yellow lines. so i go in for it.  not straight enough and i realize im not going to make it.  so i flip into reverse and start going back. my dad goes stop! so i start to ease on the break but not before i hear a loud crunch.  uh oh..... my dad looks at me.  get out of the car he says pretty calmly. so i do.  he gets into the drivers seat and pulls up a little bit to 

properly be able to survey the damage...this is what he saw 

he manated to keep his cool about it though which is very surprising. he lets me get back in the car and just says "see this is why you have to be aware

 of where you are and whats around you"

lesson learned.

then we drove around some more, practiced some more turns and we come home. now heres my mom to worry about. having been so proud of not having a single scratch on her car this was a major blower to her. so she wasnt too happy and immediately called our repair guy to come and fix it because she apparently could not drive it to work like that and it had to be fixed NOW. but she didnt want to make me feel too bad about it.  mission not accomplished.  i feel pretty bad to say the least. although it doesnt look tooo bad. im hoping it doesnt cost too much either considering i am supposed to pay for part of it i think...

but oh well, cant really do much about it now. 

to sum it all up:

lamp posts are not my friends, i now have to drive the minivan, and i am going to lose a lot of my birthday money if this thing costs a lot. 

im not really sure how to classify this day...

even though my blog is getting a lot of negative attention Brennan asked me to write a new post so i am going to write one for his sake. I'm not really sure what to write about though. I mean my blog is essentially just rants (which particularly interesting to people who dont know me or whats going on) but i write it for my own enjoyment and no other purpose so fuck it.  i dont really have much to say except that tomorrow is my birthday.  hopefully by some miracle people will remember because they have a tendency to forget...which is kind of sad.  oh well. whatever. but at least january is over.  that seemed to be a bad month. i have been told it was the cosmos by a reliable source so im going with that.  plus i totally buy into that stuff. i completely think that the planet alignment has something to do with how things play out in our lives, at least in fate.  i dont really believe so much in horoscopes but sometimes they do come true. but if you read them at the beginning of the day you begin to analyze things so that they agree with your horoscope so i like to read mine at the end of the day and compare. its scary though how accurate some of the aquarius generalizations are. however some of them are just dead wrong...but as all things are, nobody can know everything about everything. and if you think you do thats a little strange...
