Downer day. Everything's new.

[wolven7]

I wanted to write a post about the newness of the world, and how everything can be seen as an exciting new thing, when you first find it; how you think that you're the first person to think of things, just so, and see certain connections. That it's new. And how, if you're very lucky, when the new wears off, you won't feel as if you've been cheated, because thousands of people, over Thousands of years, have done it before you, but you'll Grateful to be in such wonderful company.

I guess I did write it, eh? Heh. Not as full of wonderment as I wanted to make it though. Been dealing with traffic court shite, all day. Have to go, tomorrow, and have been given disparate informations and situational understandings. I've been told that, were they in my situation, some would fight it, based on the situation, where others would plead nolo contendre, and try to knock the money and charges down.

If it happens, if I'm found guilty, I get three points on my license, and a $188 fine.

So I'm a bit meh, at the moment.

Any amusing anecdotes, or uplifting news and information would be welcome.

Or, if you would, you know, Talk. At all.

I'm back to reading Vellum, and eating some lunch.

Ta.

There is really no point in fighting it unless you have a witness other than Kirsten. Of course, if the cop who wrote the ticket does not show and the other driver has no witness, than Kirsten might be enough. Then again, that would all depend on if your explanation of the accident makes it out to be your fault or not. If you weren't referring to the accident on the highway where you got spun out, than n/m

Uplifting or amusing...There was this night when I was walking home with a friend and we were on a shortcut thru some woods. Awhile b4 that night, he had made the mistake of telling me a story where he was once afraid of water type Pokemon (a long story). So, we were talking about s/t random and I pretend I hear noises. It's dark, late, and he steadily gets creeped out, but only a little. I keep up the charade of hearing noises and increase my pace.

All this time, I have been holding my 35mm camera in my hand. These were the days I took it everywhere. So, just feet away from where the woods let out onto our street, I stop and ask him

"You definitely heard that, right?"
"What?"

I start walking again, push the flash button and scream

"Oh, my God! Squirtle!!!!" Then run like hell.

He lets out an ear piercing shriek and runs after me. I am laughing, and as I am running, I point the camera behind me and snap a shot. I get to the house, he catches me, kicks me in the leg, and we both fall out laughing. This was maybe 6 years ago and he is still annoyed with me and I am still quite amused.

When I got the film developed, the shot of him running and screaming for his life just made me die laughing in the Wal Mart.

I wish I still had that pic.

As someone who works in insurance, just FYI, your premiums raise dramatically after your 3rd point. Accident == ouchie to the wallet.

Well, I did make a post a while ago. Nothing much uplifting on my end of things, just a sort of grim determination.

I think you should skip traffic court, buy a plane ticket to acapoco and live the rest of your days in relative bliss and ignorance of the trappings of our country's oppressive, stifling, stinky legal system.

they're a bunch of stupid heads.

What part in Vellum are you on and what do you think of it?

A little late, but I have student stories which might amuse:

-My Japanese student Rela asked me yesterday in Japanese, "Why are you white? Look, I'm not white!"

-According to my other Japanese student, my new nickname is "Arekukuuuu!"

-Jennifer, the six year-old yaoi fangirl, discovered that one of her classmates has a crush on the other, and has been banging their heads together to make them kiss. They don't really seem to mind, though.

-One boy who constantly plays with his water bottle in class accidentally squeezed it too hard, sent the cap flying, and shot a stream of water onto the fan above him, which then soaked him and sent droplets flying all over the classroom. I was too busy laughing to scold him.

Children are an awesome source of hilarity. *Nods*
