just let me know... any time now...

[wizbis]

my first hour of driving time was so weird. the guy gave me almost no direction and basically said "go where you want" but then we got out somewhere in groton and he had no idea where we were and it was just ridiculous. why didn't he just tell me to drive out to leominster? i don't know. but he wouldn't tell me where to turn or would say

Now that's just weird...

The instructor on my first driving time (who was, incidentally, the most terrifying woman I've ever met) managed to get us lost on the backstreets of Fitchburg looking for the next student's house. After 45 minutes of circling, we finally found it, only to discover the girl had cancelled. I have never felt more compelled to jump screaming from a moving vehicle.

And Mrs. Paradise is awesome. At least in retrospect.

I loved Mrs. P. She was my favorite part about driver's ed at parker.

haha, that sucks. i'll probably like her in retrospect, too. i just don't know what to think of her right now. one minute she's funny and joking around, the next she's threatening to hunt us down, the next she's telling us some awful story of how a 7-year-old child prodigy was shot in Italy. i just... don't know.

she also calls prostitutes "prostituties". i'm just not sure how i feel about that.

"Prostituties and druggies."

I loved Ms P. her ability to instantly go from cheerful to grave was scary, yet enjoyable to me.

I'll end with a Mrs P quote that Becca ended up writing in my Drivers ed notebook:

"Somebody doinked somebody."

Also in the notebook is a very bad illustration that I drew of Becca fighting a moose with a spear. It contains the caption (written by becca) "Fighting not sexing! Sick Ben!" Driver's ed was good times.

I loved Mrs P! So much.

Ok nothing beats my driving time story...the teaser is that my instructor offered to buy me russian vodka...and that was the most normal thing he said to me...ask me about it sometime

Mrs. P. is THE DEVIL!!! Oh, don't get me wrong, she's hilarious... but she's terrifying and EVIL, too. I don't love her, I merely laugh at her. Eh, she made my sister cry, so I'm not too inclined to have good feelings about her.
