mstzanicki | Happy Birthday

Yeah, that could get to be really annoying. My friends' mother does that too. And they'll literally be like 10 feet away from each other, in different rooms, and she'll still call. It's like WTF?

I've done that too! I was like, I want to go for a drive, and ended up taking a random turn, only to find it out, it was connected to the road I had just been on, so I only end up going in a circle, and didn't get that lost or anything. It figures the one time I tried to get lost, I got found. Never works out that way otherwise. And why are people such stupid drivers? I have a friend, that I've been in the car with once, and WILL NEVER DO IT AGAIN! She's scary! I'm like, OMG! This is why there are accidents!

I want to go on a long train ride, to get somewhere. I've never been on a plane, thought I was going to, but ugh, long story short, I'm not anymore. If you want to know I'll tel you though.

oh geez. that's insane. I don't understand why you would call when you can hear each other perfectly fine without doing it. when my mom calls me, I hear her both on the phone and throughout the house, it's like surround sound.

I hate it when trying to get lost on purpose backfires on you and then when you don't want to get lost, you do and you can't find your bearings. when I was younger, my sister would have to drive me everywhere and the worst thing she ever did while driving was dancing. I don't know how I managed to survive. and my mom, she's not a dumb driver exactly, but her driving scares the crap out of me. like when she sees a stop sign, she doesn't step on the brake until she's right at the line, it hurts. yeah, it's a good idea to not ride with her again. never get into a car with a crazy driver, I don't recommend it.

I've been on many planes in my life. but never on ones going out of the country. I want to go out of the country. aww, what happened? but only if you want to tell me. I wouldn't want you to type something long if you don't want to.

I don't either, and I don't even yell, I hate yelling actually, I don't like to raise my voice. So I'll go and walk to the other person so I can talk to them. I do that at work too, instead of yelling from the front of the kitchen to the back, because there's like a semi-wall between the two. One's the serving area, and one's the prep area. It's almost like there should just be a door between the two, but it's open. I'll go walk around to find whoever I need to ask/tell them whatever instead of just yelling.

Yeah, I wouldn't either. I didn't know how my friend drove before until I ended up in the car with her. That was scary. From now on, I'll volunteer to drive. And I thought I was bad when I was in the car, sometimes, I get a bit carried away when a good song comes on, and I'm singing along and stuff, but I don't dance. Or move my body that much. Okay, this is coming from a person who was scared to sneeze while driving. I'm serious when I say that too. Back when I first got my license.

Yeah, I did, on our other conversation. I think there might have been a bit more, but that was the jist of it.

I've become desensitized to yelling since I basically grew up with it. it's funny, in my house with my family, I talk really loud and to people who aren't used to hearing it, they think I'm raising my voice or yelling, but I'm not, I'm just talking normally. but then when I'm around other people, I have the quietest voice in the world.

good. I know I'm not a good driver, but I'm not a bad driver either. I'm in the middle if that makes sense. I get carried away too if there's a song I like, but I definitely do not dance. I just nod my head along. when I first got my license, I was scared to look at my mirrors for only a split-second. I had this thought that if I did, something would come out of nowhere right in front of the car.

I read it. and again, I'm so sorry about your plans. it's really messed up.

Aww, I'm definintely the opposite. Though when I'm not around people, I talk more normal. lol like when I'm in my car, I have whole conversations with myself or the radio. It's hiliarous. I do that when I'm in my room sometimes too. I'll start rambling about something, because I saw/heard/thought of something. I entertain myself a lot. It's quite easy. I'm so easily amused too.

Yeah, I'd like to think I'm an okay to pretty good driver. Because I know I could probably be a bit better, but I'm not bad. At least I really hope not. And I've had people in my car, and they've never said I was a bad driver. Actually my friend says I'm a good driver, which is why I usually end up driving.

Thanks, I appreciate that.

I'm really easily amused. I swear, I don't know how some of my friends on here manage to deal with me and then I realize they're as easily amused as I am. I think my classmates from this semester thought I was crazy or something cause sometimes I'd remember something and then start talking to myself before class started. I talk to myself in my own room too. I'll sometimes ask myself a question and then answer it.

one of the reasons I'm not as good as I should be is because my car's gas pedal is really sensitive. so even just the slightest press and it goes. so since I got used to driving my mom's car before I got mine, I always had to step a little hard on the pedal. and now I do that with my car and then if there's a passenger, they tend to go backwards cause of how "hard" I stepped on it. but other than that, no one's ever really had any complaints about my driving, save for my mom. but she complains about everyone's driving.

I'm so used to being around "normal" people, who don't do these things. And sometimes it makes me feel so weird, for just being so happy go lucky and finding everything funny. I mean, the weirdest things will remind me of something from the boys, and that'll just make me giggle. So it's nice when I find other people that do that.

I have a tendency to drive a bit faster than I'm supposed to. But since I've gotten one ticket and a one warning, in that order mind you, I've been better, well at least in the two towns that I have to drive in, when I'm in the city, (not NYC) just the city I used to live in, I drive a bit faster because they don't care as much. The small towns, the cops have nothing better to do than to wait around for people to be speeding and what not. So I now have all the speed limits memorized for all the roads from my house to work, so I know how fast I can go and where without getting caught, and where they usually like to hide. It's kinda sad. The games they play.

I'm used to that too. So I was really happy when I found people in the fandom. "Normal" people aren't as understanding about fandom matters.

I drive fast too. I guess I've been lucky cause I've been driving for a year and haven't gotten a ticket or warning. then again, when I'm on small side streets, I drive more cautiously cause the cops like to hide in the weirdest places. and I've seen people who drive as fast as I do get pulled over on the freeway and yet I haven't *knocks on wood*

No, they're really not. When it comes to those kind of things, you need to talk to somebody in the know.

You've only been driving for a year? I've had my license since I was 16, so 8 years now. I actually had to get mine renewed already. So I have the "grown up" version. If you're under 21, they give you a license that goes vertical, instead of horizontal. I don't know if they do that every where or not, so. But now we have new licenses, they're prettier than the one I have. But I don't want to have to pay for a new one, so I'll keep mine.

exactly. I'm glad I got my cousin into fandom, but she kind of hates me for doing so, all I have to say is "Massu" to make her forget she hates me.

I tried for my driving test when I was 17 and failed the first time, cause I never really got any practice outside of the 6 hours from the school. and after I failed, I just got so discouraged that I didn't want to be anywhere near the steering wheel. so when I went to University, I intentionally went to one where I wouldn't have to drive. and then when I transferred back home, which was when I turned 21, I got my permit again and forced my mom to let me drive everywhere. I passed the driving test on the first try, with only 2 mistakes, and got my car the next week. eh? the only other license I've seen outside of the Califonia one is Florida, so I don't really know about vertical and horizontal.

Aww, that's funny. It's always nice to have somebody close to you in the fandom too. Whenever I'm sad or upset, my friend knows exactly what to say or who to bring up, and instantly make it all better.

Ohh, yeah, I could see that being discouraging. I was lucky, I passed my first time. Though I thought I was going to fail, I nearly hit somebody. I figured that would be like an immediate failure, not that it was my fault! I was backing into the parking space, as the last thing I had to do, and I was going REALLY REALLY slow, like if I was going 2MPH I was going fast, and this idiot decides to just walk right behind my car.

Here's what ours look like. Except mine is blue, because it's older, that design just came out this year, but it's basically the same thing, it shows how it's vertical and horizontal. And it blatantly says under 21 on it. Aren't they just so nice?
http://www.ct.gov/dmv/cwp/view.asp?a=805&q=447352

it really is. and it's really nice to have everyone on here too.

oh wow. I'm glad you passed. and they make you back into parking spaces like in parking lots on your test? we don't get that here, but we do have to parallel park as the last thing for our test. it's good you passed. crazy pedestrian.

oh, that's what I though you meant by vertical/horizontal, now I feel dumb for asking. I would provide a picture of ours, but I had to leave my house so I'll do it when I get back home.

Yeah, it is. Everyone is so nice.

We don't have to parallel park for ours. We have to be able to back in. There isn't that much around here where you would have to parallel park, they teach us, at least they did before. There have been a lot of changes to all that since I got my license, so I'm not sure. And I hate pedestrians. So annoying.

That's okay. If you don't really know, I never knew they went both ways till I got mine. Which wasn't fair, because all my friends got theirs the horizontal way. They had just changed it when I got mine.

That's okay. Going anywhere good?

they are. I love the people that are on here.

that makes sense. we use both lots and parallel parking here, just because if we didn't, there'd be very few places we could park and those places would get overfilled. pedestrians annoy me. I hate dealing with them. especially when they don't know where they're going or if they want to cross the street. and then sometimes, they'll decide to cross diagonally, so none of the cars can tale their turn. and then there are the pedestrians who decide to cross the street when the lights have already turned yellow.

oh. so they changed it to make it easier to identify who's a minor and who's not. that's clever.

my nephew has tae-kwon-do, but I didn't know today was a testing day, so he's not in his real uniform. just his uniform pants and a t-shirt with the place's logo

I've learned from being in NYC how to be a good pedestrian. I would think that that is more what it's like for you. Because there, you have to share the road, where I am, there's not really a lot of pedestrians around, so it's only a pain because there is one.

Yeah! That's what I was trying to get at, but couldn't really think of it, to say it properly. Where is my brain tonight? It's definitely not working for me. It must already be on vacation. Knowing it's a long weekend. I'm off now till Tuesday.

Ohh, that's cool. I hope he does well!

I've always known to be a good pedestrian. but it's changed even more, since now I drive and know what's really annoying. so my thought now is, if I don't want a pedestrian to be dumb when I'm driving, then I shouldn't be dumb when I'm the pedestrian. before I only was a good pedestrian cause I didn't want to get hit by dumb drivers. one of my friend's, on the other hand, thinks "because people are dick pedestrians when I'm driving, I'm going to be a dick pedestrian when other people are driving." oh, yeah. we really do have to share the road. and not just with pedestrians, but also bicyclists. it's funny cause the rules for bicyclists are basically the same as for automobiles, but most bicyclists don't know that and therefore think of themselves as being in the same category as pedestrians. and by funny, I mean more annoying than dumb pedestrians.

it's ok. my brain doesn't work for me sometimes, and it basically happens in the most important of times too. that is a long weekend. it's like a super-mini vacation.

I couldn't find any images of california's driver's license on our dmv, so I just googled it
http://www.ci.garden-grove.ca.us/city-files/u2/mw-07-21951_2.jpg
that's what it looks like for over 21. for people under 21, there's a red strip that goes across the card right over the signature area that says when you'll turn 21.

yeah, but he didn't get to do anything since he had the wrong shirt on. completely my fault. he cried in the car on the way home. it was the first biggest disappointment in his life, he's 6.

Yeah, that's a good theory, but a lot of people just don't really care. At least that's the attitude I get, you see people just randomly start walking, across a street or whatever without even looking. It's like, you may have the right of way, we were always told pedestrians have the right of way, but at least look! What's the difference if you had the right way or not, if you get hit, and hurt.

It would be except that I get this every other weekend, because my day off is always Monday, so, having to work only every other weekend, the one I don't work, I get three day weekends. It was nice at first, but now it sometimes gets to be too long when I don't have anything to do.

It's so bright and sunny!

Oh no! That sucks. The poor thing.

true. automatically in their minds they're just like "I have the right of way, so I'm going to do whatever I want." they make me want to be violent. not by using my car, but they make me want to get out of my car and hurt them.

oh. it's still nice, if you have things to do. but I can see why it would seem long when you have nothing to do.

it is. that's after the change. I don't remember when the change was, but before it didn't have the... watermark, I think it's called. I'm pretty sure the background was also white and it didn't have the small box picture of to the side.

yeah, I felt so bad. when I saw him come outside, I already knew he was upset cause that's what his face looked like. but he was just holding his tears in cause he didn't want anyone to see him cry. so once we got into the car I told him that if he wants to cry, he can. and he did for like an hour. he eventually got over it cause he was watching cartoons and playing video games. he got even more happy cause he got to help decorate the tree for the first time.

I'm sure I've felt that way too, but not that often. Because like I said before, I don't usually run into to many of them. Ahh, the benefits of not living in a major city. ^_^

Yeah, and it's supposed to snow, so I'm kinda like stuck in the house. Not that I can't go out, but my friend's mother is like really strict and despite her being 24, she's not allowed to go out. And it still hasn't started yet, so this has been pretty much a day wasted.

It's funny how much they go through so people can't make fake ones, and yet people still do. That's why they change these things. Ahh, sometimes people are funny.

Aww, the poor thing. But I'm glad he got to decorate the tree. Funnily enough, my family is doing that today, and I want no part of it. I hate doing it. I had to do it at work already, I hate helping with that. I'm no good at either, partly because I don't want to, so I don't really try. But it's nicer with little kids. When I used to be closer to my family, before we moved to CT, my younger cousins were so cute at Christmas time, this was like at least 10 years ago now, I just remember they were younger than me, I think like maybe 5 or 6 years? I don't even know anymore, but when I got to be like 12 and stuff, it was nice to see them enjoying it.

I don't feel that way very often cause in the city I live in, I don't run into them too much. but when I actually get into LA or Downtown, I just want to bang my head on the wheel.

I like snow, I'd gladly take it away from you if I could. but snow doesn't like California, except for in Big Bear or Mammoth Mountain. her mom is more strict than mine. then again I did go away for 3 years and was living fine perfectly on my own, so she doesn't really say anything anymore.

true. people will always find a way around these things.

ever since I was his age, I'd been decorating the tree by myself. my sister helps with putting the tree up, but I did/do all the decorations. and I also take all of them down. my mom does not help at all. ugh. she annoyed me yesterday. she came downstairs and started talking about putting up the tree and decorating it like she was the one who does it all. when she's never even touched the tree since I was born. seeing little kids decorate trees is so cute. this was the first year when we were able to get the angel on the top cause my sister's boyfriend is 6'4 and our tree is a 7 footer, so he held my nephew up to put it on. it was cute.

Ohh well, that's good. Sorta.

And I'd be more than willing to give it you. I hate snow. Absolutely detest it! I'm pretty sure I could live the rest of my life not seeing snow and be perfectly content. Yeah, her mom is a bit ridiculous when it comes to things. She wasn't allowed to go away to college. We have a college in the city we live, she HAD to go to that one. She didn't even get a choice in the matter.

Oh wow, and that is so cute! Yeah, my Mom has always been the one to do it in my family. This year, my Nana helped her. It was her job to do the tree while my Mom did the rest of the room. I'll have to take pictures later, I went downstairs to get a drink, and it looks really pretty. I like looking at all the decorations and trees and stuff, but I just don't want to have to have any part in doing any of the work.

yeah. I try to avoid the main streets in the bigger cities. it's good I know alternative routes. not many pedestrians in those areas, but there's way too many on the main streets.

you should move down south, or to the west, or southwest for that matter then. you won't have to deal with any more snow. that's insane. I feel so sorry for her. is she an only child?

yeah. it was. my mom got a picture of it. I should take pictures of my tree, but I lost the batter charger for my digital camera, so it's been dead for over a year. I don't trust my mom with doing the decorations, I've become OCD about it. so I can't stand other people doing it, except for my nephew yesterday, but he asked me where he should place things.

That's good, at least you know ways to avoid some of them.

That would be nice, and maybe eventually I will. I want to move anyway, no idea where though. But kinda can't at the moment. And yeah, she's an only child. So that doesn't help, I don't think.

Aww, that's just so cute! That sucks, but it sounds like something I would do. I always go to put things somewhere so I won't lose them, and end up losing them anyway. See, my Mom is the OCD one, not me, so probably why she does it anyway. I'm sure my Nana was driving her nuts with everything. Another reason I stayed out of the way.

yeah.

oh. I'm sure you'll be able to eventually. no, that doesn't help. if she had an older sibling who rebelled, then it would loosen up her mom. but since she's the only child, she could try to rebel, but she'll have no kind of support within her family which sucks.

thing is, I think I lost it in my friend's house up north when I was still going to school there and they moved out of that area around the same time I transferred out. my fault. I wouldn't be OCD with it if I haven't been doing it for so long, but the tree is kind of like my baby now, so...

She wouldn't anyway. She's like so brainwashed into thinking like her mother. It's scary. I'm like, you're not a 60 year old woman, stop acting like one! We had a whole big fight not to long ago about some of that stuff. Not fun. I'm lucky, I've been kinda given my freedom since I turned 18. It's not that my parents don't care, but they feel, I need to learn on my own, since I am an adult and all or at least supposed to be one.

Ohh, then that really sucks. Can you get a replacement one? I can see that. I think I would feel the same had I been doing it for so long too.

Happy Birthday
