I didnt do much today, though i actually did a little more than i normaly do.

I had stayed up quite late last night reading a fanfic from my fave site, and i went to bed after my mom went to work around 8ish and she woke me up at 4 so we could go down town.

Now this is where the driving comes in, I hate driving, its irritating, seriously, and everyone wonders why there are so many bad drivers and road rage.  I swear I was a good driver in the city, my instructer was nice and talked me through all the steps of parking and 4 way stops and stuff like that, and near the end of my lessons, he never had to say anything, I passed my course with flying colors and now almost a year later, i still remember the basics of everything,  all the rules of the road, im in a small town and I still cant get my NOVICE, its a small town, only mainstreet and railway avenue and all the side streets, a railway crossing and a tiny suburb, 4 stop signs a yield sign, no stop lights and no lines on some of the streets. how hard can it be. of course it helps if i remember where all the signs are, today i forgot about the yield sign, i wasnt taking the test, but if i was, i would have failed right there. the biggy when i failed my first test was not seeing the stop sign, and going to slow. If i didnt need my damned license i would be happy as a bluejay to just take the bus, taxi, ride my bike, or even walk where ever i had to go, but taxi is to expensive, we dont have busses and walking to the next town is impossible and my bike is in another city so i need my license to get to work and other places i often have to go.

Driving is stressfull, even in a small town. I know alot of people say it gives you the freedome to go where ever you want. But at the cost of gas, sanity and occassionaly a life or two, i think I would rather save money and just walk, if i could. people spend more money on gas than cigarettes. I know, im a smoker and spend half as much on cigarettes than gas. since my mom makes me pay for gas every time i go with her somewhere. Im inclined to just be a hermit and stay home all day every day and never spend a cent on gas or loss of my sanity any more. I could just sit and listen to music, write a book, sit on my porch and yell profanities to every passing person just because i can. I could adopt a few hundred cats and take on the title of "old hag at the top of the hill". I would light a jack'O lantern every halloween and watch the kids as they dare some runt to ring my doorbell and be inducted into their group. I would never mow the lawn and buy a disco ball for my living room and light it every night to create an illusion of witch craft and play recorded eerie sound effects to keep people away or i could start a rumor about myself just for the fun of it.

That is how stressfull driving really is
