Happy Birthday Glam!

I got my license at 27. Drove a little bit that year and never again.

While I still had my learners, I drove my mother and I into a deep ditch--I missed the turn to my brother's driveway, was being tailgated, and was too freaked out about freaking out my mother to ask her what to do. So I missed the turn into the next driveway and ended up in a ditch with the car on its side. I drove after that, but now whenever I think about driving, I get a little panicky.

I think it's really best to get your license and lots of practice when you're young and feel invincible.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I crashed a car at 16, but kept driving after that. Just not much after high school.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

My BFF was terrified to learn to drive. Her boyfriend tried to teach her in a parking lot, and she was so panicky she stripped the gears on his car. She refused to learn until ten years later when she became a single mom and she pretty much had to. Even now, she's so proud of herself that she can not only drive, but perform minor repairs herself!

I just spent an hour carting dirt into a raised bed. Man, I am soft...am laying down to rest my back.

I never understood until I got this house why gardening is supposed to be good exercise.

For some reason, I found driving in my hometown, which is pretty small, way worse that driving here. It may be because my family make me crazy. Or it could be that nobody follows the rules of the road there.

I'm not sure how Tom and I managed to have the same father.

I am also a up-and-down rides good, round-and-round rides bad person. Carousels are about my limit. I love old-school roller coasters, but not things that call themselves roller coasters but turn you upside down.

I admit, I'd use the apocalypse as an excuse to change my wardrobe and kill things.

I don't have the right shoes for the apocalypse.

This is why I have post-zombie-apocalypse dibs on the local Super Wal-Mart.

Yes, but then you'll become possessive about its being your Super Wal-Mart and during the fight over the last Little Debbie Cakes, the zombies will get in.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I totally have the shoes for the apocalypse but I want more. Stomp stomp stomp.
