In My PERSONAL Opinion;
May 12, 2008
*Just a warning, this post is going to be VERY long and I’m probably going to be rambling on a lot in it cause I have a lot on my mind, but deal with it 
~*~*~
Well that was a spectacular weekend! No really, it was…I’m not being sarcastic. Well…maybe a little, there were some tiny parts to it that were slightly frustrating and annoying, but in my opinion each day can not go by perfectly. Something always has to happen, big or small, to make you go “grr”.
Anywho, I was home briefly yesterday for mother’s day, but didn’t have enough time to write a decent post. I just wanted to update quickly. As I write this, I’m trying to load my gmail to see if anybody has contacted me about the password for this hear post. If you haven’t yet, you should get on that and contact me. I fixed the contact page again so now it should be working just fine and dandy. Nobody will be denied the password; unless I don’t want you reading it…then maybe. But ya, try anyway
Oopps I’m sort of getting off topic a bit. I wanted to go in to detail about my weekend since I haven’t had a chance to do that yet. I spent most of it with Booth and our mutual awesome friends, hanging out and just having a grand old time. Dragon’s granddaughter (or something like that) came over with her boyfriend, who just so happens to be another one of the tattoo artists. We’ll call him…Ears. Because he has those spacer things in his ears and I find I’m often drawn to it because honestly, spacers freak me out…just a little. But ya, Ears is an awesome guy and he’s really cool except for having scary ears. His girlfriend is pretty nice too (for the most part, she can be bitchy and weird but meh what girls aren’t?) and guess what? They might be selling me their second car (that neither of them use because Ears has an awesome souped (is that how you spell it?) car that he drives and his girlfriend doesn’t have her license)!
It’s a white 1990 4 door Honda Accord Ya I know, it’s like a year younger than me (literally) but Ears takes really good care of his cars, and it does need some work, but I just so happen to know like 4 guys who are obsessed with all things cars and definitely know their cars, (Booth, Bear, T, and Ears) who offered to do the work on it for free, if I get the parts. The price is definitely right on it and the only thing “wrong” with it is that it needs a new exhaust, front to back. Yeah I know, that can be pricey if I plan on taking it to a mechanic but Ears has a cousin who works in a shop that could get me the parts for discount (if I go through Ears to get them). So woop woop! I might very well have a car in the next couple of months! I’m just waiting to hear back from the insurance company with my quote. Isn’t this exciting? It is to me
And my mom has been letting me drive more often lately! Last night I drove back to Booth’s house, and today I drove home from Booth’s house. I feel way more comfortable driving now then I did half a year ago, and Mom even said that I’ve improved Yes, I still make mistakes but I literally haven’t even had a full hours worth of driving…yet. I’m getting there, and this Friday I start my in car lessons with Young Drivers. I’m both excited and a wee bit nervous about it, I hope my instructor is cool and calm. I hate it when people freak out at me for making mistakes; that’s not how you deal with mistakes. Someone freaking out with me just startles me, and that’s never a good thing.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately, about a lot of different things. One of the things I’ve been thinking about lately is maturity. I think that I have grown a lot in the past 3 months alone, I mean I wouldn’t even get behind the wheel to drive - which is why it has taken me so long to get my license on the go. I’m also thinking about some people that I know and the vulgarities that constantly surround them. I’m basically cleaning out my closet, so to speak, so that I can move on because I don’t want to be stuck with any labels that aren’t in a good light. I’ve noticed that I do tend to get annoyed with people who, in my opinion, act a little over the top. It blows my mind that people have such a hard time covering up, or speaking without swearing in conversation. Ten years from now, I want to be able to look back on myself and think “ya, I had fun…but I didn’t over do it.” I know many people who aren’t going to be able to say that.
Oh well though, I guess I just have to accept the fact that the majority of today’s youth are flossies and skanks who show off way to much of their body due to several self esteem issues.
Ok, I think I shall end this rant now since it is quite long enough as it is

Don’t feel so bad about taking so long to get your license, I was nearly 19 when I got mine. Then six months later crashed the car, woops!
I agree with you about youth just being all slutty bc they think that’s how they should be. But what are you gonna do?

I emailed you!
Glad you had a great weekend and that you’ve gotten the ball rolling on obtaining a car! It’s always great to have friends who know cars. Personally, I would rather be an expert on cars and be able to fix them myself, but being able to count on friends rather than strangers for that is the next best thing.
Good luck with the lessons

Sarah - I am nearly 19 lol but I definitely don’t plan on crashing my car six months from now! I wish there was a way for youth to learn that you don’t need to be slutty to feel good/look good and get “dates”. Unfortunately, music and the media influence young people on acting that way and it’s sad. Perhaps it should be mandatory for kids to take a Critical Thinking class in middle school; to learn how to break apart messages and not take in everything that they hear/see in the media.
Girl, Dislocated - I got the email
I would also rather know more about cars then have friends, but I can learn better this way with a bunch of guys who know what they’re doing. I can watch them while they do it and perhaps they’ll even let me touch the car (if I’m lucky). And thanks!

I see nothing wrong with teenage girls showing too much skin.

Avitable - that there is the problem lol!

I see it as a maturity thing as well as a self esteem thing too. A lot of girls don’t understand the fine line between sexy and slutty, and that you don’t have to be slutty to be sexy. It’s all about knowing what you’re doing and then have the confidence to pull it off.
I’m still working on that though.
Soon you may have a car of your own!
