quadruplifyOf all the nights I really want to stay up really late, tonight's the night I can't. Fuck. =_=
Anyway, I have some good news to share:
Seriously, it was a long fucking time coming, but I got it. I had my road test Wednesday afternoon in Hamden, and this time I managed to pass it. I had a lot of things going against me -- it was rainy and a bit on the windy side, I had gotten very little sleep the night before, I did a couple of really screwy things (like going a little too fast at one point, almost going down the wrong road, accelerating a little too fast when backing in to park,
and accidentally leaving the lights on when I shut off the car [which I lied about and said it only looked that way XD]), and I always get nervous having someone judging my driving while sitting next to me (not to mention the inspector was on the strict side on top of that). Basically, I was a hot mess. But I managed! ^_^; I took the test a half hour ahead of schedule, and only lasted for 15 minutes, so the fact that the DMV turned out to be more cooperative than I anticipated certainly helped.
And there was also this that happened:
INSPECTOR: And you certify that it was your father who drove you here, right?
ME: *realizes that this is a lie and that I drove myself there*
ME: .....
INSPECTOR: You have to say yes.
ME: Yes.
INSPECTOR: Good, because he parked this really badly.
ME: >_>;
But yeah, one of my goals for this year: COMPLETED. One less thing I have to worry about. XD
* I'm thinking about doing NaNoWriMo this year. I do need a kick in the butt to get myself writing again, and since I still don't have a job and I have plenty of free time, why not? Good idea y/n?
* The reason why I have to go to bed early is because I'll be spending the weekend in Boston with my mom and sister, and we're leaving early in the morning. :P We're going to see my cousin at college because this weekend is their "Fall Family Weekend"/"open house," so we should definitely have a good time. The only thing that's gonna really suck about it is that Ex-Uncle and his ugly-on-the-inside wife will be meeting us at points, which is a huge DNW. But it'll be great to get to travel and see my aunt and cousin again! I'll be gone until Sunday night EDT; I'll still check LJ and (as much as possible) Tumblr on my phone, and if you want to get in touch with me I can PM you my contact info, but FYI I'm going to be a little bit more sparse this weekend than usual. (I also have AIM and Skype on my phone, but I'm not sure if I'll try that just yet.) Expect an awesome summary of everything when I get back, though. ;-)

I GOT MY DRIVER'S LICENSE!!!!!
