Yeah, I think Boston is about the last place you want to learn in if you're a novice driver.
Buffy! If I wanted to fight, you could tell by the being dead already.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I learned to drive here the first time, but that was 20 years ago.

Because books.
I can't imagine not driving. I love love love to drive, and I hate not having a car during the day.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't like driving. But I'm particular about how and what I drive (in an odd way), and I don't like not driving. The public transportation options around here are pretty crap.
LAistas are very good about helping me out with lifts when I run out of driving juice. Which, you know, is pretty much weekly.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I *love* driving on empty or relatively empty highways. I just love the thrill of driving kind of fast on free roads. It makes me feel free (if that makes any sense) and like I could go anywhere.
Driving every day in stoplight traffic with fuckers around me?
Not so much fun.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Water, they recommended. Extra shirt, check. I'm going to have to buy some non-black soled tennies, but since my sneakers are 8 years old and have two holes in the toe anyway, that's no big.
Also, it's going to hurt. Even done right, it will hurt. Try not to let that surprise you or put you off--unless you just don't want it, in which case, don't look back.
I'm anticipating it will hurt. I'm ok with that; I know I'm out of shape, but I also know my body and will stop for a breather if I'm exceeding my limits.
And you know me; I have no problems saying "Fuck this, I have to stop for a minute and if you don't like it, get outta my face and suck it. I don't care how many people you can kill with you pinkie; I can kill you with my brain." Mentally, but yanno.
Being in the Midwest, I'm not surprised by the dearth of women instructors. I'm ok with that, although I love me some ass-kickin' chicks.

Colin's angle fell through. Car doesn't pass his muster. I guess I need to leave the house anyway. Get the pity party started. How does one dress to buy a cheap old car when one is ignorant? Ah, well.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I've been really happy with all my furniture from Target (I favor the Tobacco finish in my living room).

Don't let them get you to sign up for a huge committment before you're sure you want it and can schedule accordingly. The Memphis Krav center got almost a thousand bucks out of me for nothing because they refused to let me out of my contract once work instituted a no-more-flexible-hours policy that was mutually exclusive with all the class times.

Since Erin's a freelancer, scheduling is less of a problem.
