I rarely even notice that I'm starting facing up or down a hill, I'm so used to it. Also because I know my manual like the back of my hand, so just how much to step on the clutch and how much to push the gas pedal down.

That said, when I rented an automatic when my toe was broken, I hardly noticed the difference, aside from a couple incidents of trying to clutch a non-existent pedal.

I keep flirting with the idea of getting a manual for my next car. It is what I learned on in the Berkeley Hills (hello Marin).

Driving out to the airport today, blasting tunes, was pretty sweet. Off to SLC.

Just out smarted myself. Thought I left my boarding pass at home as I was pulling out my I'd and headed to the counter to get it reprinted and realized it was tucked in the back of my book. Dur.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I don't know how to drive manual. Nobody in my family knew how, so I was never taught. (Gary doesn't know how either.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I meant to say, -t, worry not for my azalea,

HOORAY!

Because obviously me and my tender feelings are the important considerations here.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Everyone who ever tried to teach me to drive stick shuddered in horror and stopped after 15 minutes.

Driving a car is full of enough peril, IMHO.

Tasks I oneroused today: made dentist appointments for children; acquired babysitter for Thursday; made haircut appointment for me for Thursday; purchased plane tickets for complicated summer travel (this required making a chart, in addition to spending $2000).

Can I get a gold star?
