I hate driving.

I delayed getting my license as long as I could, but after a while I had to. Where I live, you must drive or you're screwed. Maintaining my car and paying for insurance costs me nearly half my yearly income. $500 (canadian) a month just on insurance (about 250-300 Euros)...not including gas, etc.

Not to mention some jerk hit me about 2-3 weeks ago and totalled my car. Now I have nothing, and have to use my school money to buy a car, and I can't go to school.

Having to drive for 45 minutes to downtown Toronto to go to a club or something isn't fun either.

Especially with the high concentration of stupid driver in my area...I once followed a chick for 45 minutes due to road rage.

Driving sucks.

I'm 16 and I don't even have my learners license. But what do I need to drive for? Nothing, i'll be leaching off of my parents until i'm 25. And by then i'll be able to drive.

Just do what I do...play the lottery, and hope to win so you can get a limo to drive you everywhere you need to go.

im only 14 now but im looking foreward to driving this way i can listen to whatever i want in the car

True, that is a perk.

Just don't crank it tooo much.

/me blew the speakers in my mom's car.

I just realised two things after watching Lamb of God's "As the Palaces Burn" video

1. The singer has very funny hair.
2. The guitar solo sounds like circus music.

I saw a pic of Randy back in the day when he had really long hair. I liked it better back in the day, and now his hair looks like an emoish haircut or pop punkish hairstyle combed to one side, covering part of the forehead...

Their guitar work sounds arabic influenced to me, but the solos sounding like circus music? That's something you don't seem to notice everyday, but it's still cool :)

I dunno, its just in this song during the solo. It actually made me laugh.

I cant wait till they come to New Orleans :thumb:

My ***** hurts.

I don't like Lamb of God.

Once you get your license, there is a small period of time when it is really exciting and you go for long drives all the time for no reason. Then you realise that cars cost money, and all your friends start making you designated dave. That's when it starts to turn into a chore. :(

Meanwhile, I wish you guys were online when I am. It's like I'm talking to myself on the internet... as well as when I'm alone in a dark room, with my scented candles. That is where I plan my domination of MX, and then the world. And you, Parannoid... you will be at my right-hand side! HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!11111111

/bored, and unstable from an overload of uni assignments.

I'm online. It's 5:48am though.

Yay! But it's 2.51pm here...

Whoa! Second "first-post-on-a-page" in a row!

What shall we talk about?

That's what you get for being in Australia.

More like, that's what you get for being in England.... :p

What are your plans for today?

Well my sister got back from Florida this morning (bringing me a CD with her, which was nice), and she's going to school tomorrow. She's getting a lift in from my mam to help her get all her books and her guitar and things back into school, after the summer holidays. I've left school now, but I've got a pile of history books that need taking back, so I'm gonna take the lift in too.

I figured since I probably wouldn't go to bed til 5 or 6am anyway (and they're leaving at 7:15), I may as well just stay up all the way through.

So, in a couple of hours, I'm going back into school for about 20 minutes, then getting the bus back home, and hopefully going to sleep. And that's all I've got so far.

You?

I just come home from uni, and my brain aches.

I'm thinking about making myself a sandwich, and maybe doing a module of chemistry on the internet.

And this arvo at 5, I'm going in to see my dad in the hospital. He had to go in for surgery on his hands on Friday, and he was really groggy Friday morning, so I'm gonna talk to him when he's more with it.

Sounds like a plan. Why'd he need surgery on his hands?

My parents are divorced, and he lives on a property up in the Tablelands; a pretty rural area that sits just past a mountain range about a two hour drive from my house. It's where most of the dairy farmers are. Anyway, he has a windmill that drives a filtration system for the creek that runs through his land. And late Thursday arvo, he noticed that it wasn't working, so he inspected it and found the cogs that drove it had dislodged. By the way, my dad thinks he is invincible :p so he decides to go and re-align the gears [I] while they are still moving![/I]

So anyway, his hand slips, and gets crushed between two of the cogs. On a reaction, he pulls his hand out, and nearly overbalances and falls backward off the two metre high platform where the gears are. So he reacts again and instinctively reaches out with his undamaged hand for something to halt his fall. His hand found the gears, and he crushed his right hand as well. So now he has the sense to pull his hands out slowly, climb down, and walk to his neighbours up the road.

It turns out the gears broke all of his fingers bar one index finger, and the thumbs. Plus they tore off the pinky of his left hand. So during surgery they had to remove two more of his fingers, because they were too broken to repair, and the rest are in casts, which could take two months to heal.

So now he has two fingers on his left hand, and four broken on his right. Other than that he's okay.

Ouch.

Nah, he'll be fine. He once swerved to miss a drunk driver, hit a light pole, flipped his ute and broke his neck. And that was out bush, so he had to wait for two hours for someone else to drive by.

What do you study at uni, Bartender?

Fair enough. Well good luck to him, anyway.

I haven't actually started Uni yet, but I think I'm going down there this Saturday/Sunday. I'll be studying philosophy, once I get settled in and everything. What do you study?

Molecular Bio-chemistry. So pretty much what you'll be doing... :p

You school people make me want to go back :upset:

I'm going to take audio engineering. Be a producer. Only thing I'm remotely good at.

What job do you do now?

Data-entry :)

Ivans heading right for my town... i can't wait.

Lucky guy...

Where you at?

We get to evacuate :)

Ocean Springs MIssissippi, its sux, im hopin my high school gets obliterated.
