That's funny, because I knew how to drive stick AND do CPR in high school, but I'd pretty much have to fake either one of them at this point, I bet.
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
And they're supposed to put it an account and give you the interest, right?
That's explicitly not the case in New Orleans. No interest accrues. Though I've never gotten interest on a security deposit anywhere I've lived.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Sophia, good luck with all the moving issues.
You know how TV & movies sometimes show someone waking a person up by throwing water in his/her face? I discovered this morning (when I managed to do it to myself) that it really works.

YOU CAN'T DRIVE A STICK?!
I mean, I can see why you might have not wanted to in the past. Until recently, everyone in my family learned on and preferred standard, so it came as a surprise to me that it isn't the norm. I still get surprised.
I'm having similar issues with my current management company. Well, actually, with the management of maintenance. It isn't. If I can get one of the people IN my apartment, things get fixed. However, managing to capture one? Not so easy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Can you combine some of the training? Like learn to shoot and surf at the same time? Perhaps targets attached to inner tubes will be required... but think of the time savings!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
YOU CAN'T DRIVE A STICK?!
I learnt on stick, and then promptly didn't drive any sort of transmission again for 6 years. I drove stick again for a short while in the late 90s while car-shopping, but then realised I can't buy a stick since I'm so regularly injured.
I have all the theory of the stick, therefore, and none of the reflexes.

How's yer surfing?

The percentage of cars with stick seems to still be dropping.
from a quick google:
By 2012, just 6 percent of all vehicles sold in the North American market will have manual transmissions, according to a forecast by Germany’s ZF Industries, the world’s largest independent transmission maker.

That could be the summer olympics version of the biathlon.

That's one of the funniest x-posts I've seen in a long time.
