Hi.

I pretty much had

my first experience with road rage today.

Picture it: A recently turned 16 year old driver coming home from school, a totally backed up street, and one very irritable woman in a tan car.

I was in the turning lane, waiting to be allowed into the main lane by other cars sitting at a red light. When the light turned green, the cars beside me began to move. A small, tan car stopped, leaving just enough room for me to pull in. "Awesome," I thought, "they're letting me in." Slowly, I pulled in front of the car. Not .5 seconds after doing so, I was greeted with a long, angry, definitely not friendly blast of a horn. The woman behind me apparently wasn't letting me over, wishful thinking on my part I suppose. I moved to the next lane, expecting the car to speed pass me while flashing a few colorful hand signals in my direction. Yet again, wishful thinking. The woman- who looked to be about in her 50s (i.e. WAY TOO OLD FOR THIS CRAP) followed close on my tail. I turned into my neighborhood, again she followed. I turn again. More following. This went on for about 15 minutes and many pointless turns and lane changes. By the time she gave up (probably jotting down my tag number for later pursuit), I was far from my intended destination and in dire need of gas.

Crazy people.

    I kind of only have road rage with animals... "if you don't get out of my way, I will runover you!" I very sympathetic... but I will very much so run over them. btw, you're neat too.

A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming

A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here

That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Now I'm in a whole new world with you

Sometimes the "good people" fall down.


But then they get back up.

The Grapes of Wrath is a silly, silly book. The first chapter is about dust. It's getting hard to swallow and my ears feel stuffy. I'm blaming it on the crazy weather. What's the deal here? One day it's 70 and lovely outside, the next it's all gloomy and about 4 degrees. I discovered that dressing up and looking like a girl really isn't as bad as it seems. Although, crunchy hair is not enjoyable.
  • bassnob
    You're right. Crunchy hair is not very enjoyable, but looking at my best friend and seeing she's beautiful--even though she always is anyway--is most definitely enjoyable.

    I've been trying to tell you that for years.

    awww chelsea looked like a GIRL :)
    by fairydust1542 at 04/16/07 7:13PM
  • bassnob
    Chelsea always looks like a girl. Don't let her fool you into thinking that way. I pretty much hate that "looking like a girl" is defined by wearing makeup. I think wearing makeup defines, "I don't think you'll like me as much if I don't wear this," or, "it makes me feel pretty." I most definitely think girls who don't wear makeup are more attractive--and don't jump to conclusions and think it's because of her. I've thought this for a while... so there! NYAH!

    You have a really good eye for it. Just more naturally creative, i guess.
    by auburntiger90 at 04/18/07 12:07AM
  • auburntiger90
    And btw... Who said she defined looking like a girl as wearing make-up? (I mean that un-smart ellec. hah)
    by auburntiger90 at 04/18/07 12:08AM
  • bassnob
    Well, from the context of her comment and the whole post, the obvious, widely accepted definition is wearing make-up/doing hair-up/whatever...
    by bassnob at 04/18/07 7:41AM
  • bamaguy68911
    So do you mean girls look more attractive physically when they don't wear make-up, because i guess i'd have to disagree with ya on that. Now, maybe you mean that a girl who can go without make-up and not be self-conscience about it is a very attractive person as far as personality wise i would agree with you.
    by bamaguy68911 at 04/18/07 10:08AM
  • awesomeone
    I think what Chelsea is trying to say in her post... is being girly(not necessarily looking like a girl, because she already does... a beautiful girl at that). Like, dressing up in a dress and doing her hair and makeup... type girly. Make sense?

  • orangesharpie
    Ha. Wow... I never meant to spark a debate. Anyhow, Jamie was exactly correct. You know me so well... I mean, we only grew up together...
    by orangesharpie at 04/18/07 4:26PM
  • auburntiger90
    haha, yeah wow, i think i started that. totally unintentionally. i also think you are a beautiful girl, and wouldn't like you any other way. and you're very welcome. and i hope to be in huntsville by tonight!
    by auburntiger90 at 04/18/07 4:32PM
  • orangesharpie
    1. Everyone has their own opinion... I never knew boys would be so adamant about make up.
    2. I'm never posting about girly things again, it causes too much controversy.
    3. Jamie knows everything, and she's the master of curling irons. All, bow to her superiority.
