I'm pretty psyched. Yeah, this place has been quiet for a long time, but that's because I've been busy earning money and playing at adulthood. So what if I'm a secretary? That's not bad for a smallish town, or someone fresh out of college. These days, being young isn't really an asset. It signifies inexperience, unncessary enthusiasm...strange hair. But in this case, I think they'll really benefit from my way of doing things. Especially since my way is their way. Pretty much. Who am I to have a way?
I'm also excited because the little junker car I've been rattling around in is one my cousin was letting me borrow. I didn't have the money to buy a car, not even a used one. Frankly, this one isn't worth being bought, it's been handed down so many times. But she's decided to simply give it to me and get it over with. So I'll have my first car this weekend! Hopefully I'll get my second car within in the next two months. Maybe something that doesn't spew blue smoke when I revv the engine....oooh baby, yeah!
People can become so attached to their vehicles. I can understand loving a pet, or even a plant, because it's a living, growing thing that responds to care and affection and pruning. But a car? Ok, so it might run more smoothly if you put premium gas into its tank, and it might respond more smoothly if you lube the chassis. (Does anyone else think that sounds like a sexual innuendo?) But it's not a living thing. Not the metal I know, anyway. And rust does NOT count. So there. � � � �
