Loife!

Since there's nothing more fun then blatently ignoring the whole "I have to pack for the MS150 bike ride that I'm volunteering for this weekend" by writing elljay entries.

Anywho. You may have noticed that I haven't been around much this week. This is because I have been spending copious amounts of time with Ksatyr, learning to drive and watching House. (Not at the same time.)

Both of which are awesome. I've driven something like three hundred miles since Sunday (I love hybrids. Ohemgee*lust!*) which amounts to about fifteen hours. Which sounds like a lot, until you realize it's only a quarter of what I need to do to get my provisional license. Ick. But luckily, between MS150, origins, Maine, and other stuff this summer, I shouldn't have much trouble with that.

Anywho. Driving = the bomb. It is recockulous amounts of fun there, which is causing my mind to shift gears without a clutch as it tries to go from "Cars = evil killing machines" to "Cars = totally awesome and I need to drive more of them."

(Note the clever use of a driving pun there. Already, I seem knowladgeable. :D!)

The best driving by far this week has been driving to Rockville (And not only because it ended in a visit to Yuan Fu*) via the batman road that goes right past Ednoria. OHMAN! Driving that road is awesome. You don't even need to hit the accelerator for most of it, just glide up and down the hills using the momentum. Go drive it, right now, it rules.

It's slightly less fun in the dark, if only because there's this slightly panicky feel of "Ohshitohshitohshit, it's dark, and is that a deer? Holycrap, that's a deer! ahhhhhhh!!" Yeeeah. I'm sure you'll all be pleased to know that I did not hit the deer, and the car behind me did not hit me. Closest I've come to an accident so far is the road out near Ksatyr's house, where this car was tailgateing me something fierce, and decided to whip around me, just as I was about to change lanes. Asshole.

Also, it's morally satisfying, though highly immature, to stick out your tongue at jackasses on the road. Try it next time, you get this whole thrilling feeling of being four again. :p

As for everything else...I get to be a pirate this weekend. Yarr. And I totally have nothing going on besides the driving, so nothing much else to squee about.

Talk to you...lets see...ferrets, cats, kittens, dragons, kids, stgs, orcs, ksatyrs, clones, moms, and other awesome people later.

Ah, tailgaiters. I've seen them dealt with in a number of amusing ways. My father roughly taps the breaks to freak them out. They tell you not to do this. My friends wait until there's a really slow car in the other lane, go beside it, and match it's speed, effectively trapping the tailgaiter. Endless amusement.
The most effective way, seems to me, though, is to just slow down until they get the message :P Oh, and, if you're in a place where you won't get shot for doing so (IE Canada) a middle finger in the rear view mirror helps get the point across too.

I love doing all three of those. And for some tailgater, it takes all three. Or they never get it.

But driving is awesome. So is sticking out your tongue. It never gets old.

Icky Ex #2, whose biggest driving pet peeve is tailgating, did this once... on the way home from the beach on a lonely stretch of highway for about ohhhh.... 20 miles.... the tailgater was so furious that he was fairly purple in the face when Chas finally let him pass... and there was a pile-up of about 25 cars behind us! (one of which contained his sister & brother who had been at the beach with us but had left much later than us... they were quite amused to find out later that it was us causing the backup! ;D)

Talk about Amusement! ^_^

got to stick my tounge out the other night at a jackass driver. it was MY TURN at the 4 way stop, they didn't have their turn signal on, and they cut in front of me. thank GOD i braked in time because tha twould have been bad. best part of it all? i went to high school with the person who was driving the car i almost hit. she was one of those bimbo girls. so that made the tounge sticking out even more satisfying.

I MISS YOU!!!!!!

What about yelling, "I saved Roosevelt!"?
