Ooh, just don't rear-end me and kill me. That would hurt.

it'd hurt me worse. I'd never be able to drive again. I would feel too awful...

Hmm...very true. Semis scare me though. I absolutely hate driving anywhere near them. Because people tend to drive very stupidly near them (like when I almost died earlier this month driving home from Calgary, that would have sucked).

I am scared of semis as well... but I think if I were one of them then I wouldn't be... maybe. lol. I would never pass one unless I knew that the next ten miles were straight and no cars were coming... and even then I wouldn't unless I absolutely had to... On the freeway I would wait for all the cars to pass me and makes sure they wre well enough ahead for me to gas it and go as fast as I could past them. lol.

they are scary. If a semi hits you, your dead. and if you live, you'd prolly wish you had died...

Well then! We'll start together ;-) Mine only lasts 3 weeks though... That I am happy about, I couldn't do another 4 months stint, I'd prolly shoot myself in the foot if I volunteered for school again.

Volunteered for school? I don't think I've ever heard it put that way. How odd.

Post by Only Me on Sept 3, 2006 19:46:54 GMT -6
I consider College to be school that you volunteer for... everything else is mandatory. now that I am not in school, all the schooling i do will be volunteered rather than mandatory...

Hmm....I guess that makes sense. Still interesting, though.

Post by Only Me on Sept 4, 2006 18:28:46 GMT -6
of course it is... ;-) But just because I am an interesting person.

Well considering I was supposed to be on the road driving to the driving school this morning and yet I'm still not packed and ready to go... well. yea I am actually. How's yours been so far?

Post by fightingirishman on Sept 4, 2006 20:38:16 GMT -6
Haha, gonna be a long haul tonight, eh? Mine's been pretty good. All of the really intense Canadian football rivalries are on Labour Day weekend, so it's been a good one on that front .

Well. I didn't get on the road last night like I was supposed to but I have a few hours yet to get there... lol. I'll get there in time for check in... ahaha I miss going to football games. Maybe I'll catch one while I'm up around my hometown.

Post by fightingirishman on Sept 5, 2006 14:44:46 GMT -6
Ah well, so long as you get there on time, it's all good, eh? Yeah, football games are good times. I don't really get to watch them because I'm now in a booth selling overpriced food for minimum wage. Yippie!
