my 10 minute driving test

had my practical test today... hmmm i think i'm the first one in the family to fail after 10 minutes... sigh... so horrible. i didnt even make it to the first maneuver... i was reversing out of a driveway and yes kept creeping down it even though there was a car coming. also, for some reason i was trying to reverse into the WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD... I dont know what happened, but i completely lost my wits :-P... complete brain freeze mate... *sigh* i am pissed off with myself... really pissed off. thats $130 down the drain man... could have been almost a third of the way to an IPOD... so yeah... oh well... to my credit... i didn't swear when the test dude slammed the brakes.... well not aloud anyways :-P... yeah the guy was some German dude... andhe did have like the thickest accent... it was like watching old WWII movies... but he was a nice guy and according to my instructor apparently has a sense of humour... hmm i dont know why she told me that hahaha...
on another note... finished the Christmas shopping on Monday (ahh woohoo) also bought a black jacket from RDs so im happy hahaha... dont ask why i bought a jacket in the middle of summer... just dont ask
I was talking with a friend a few weeks ago and she mentioned that i have alot of black shirts... well i laughed it off at the time but well i took a look at my wardrobe today while spring cleaning... i think i have almost 10 black shirts, and one grey one as well, amongst others...
why black? why? ahh well i just like the colour i guess... :-P
hmmm what else... listening to music late last night, i came across Mandy Moore's song from "A walk to remember"... hmm i cant believe i actually got talked into watching that at the cinemas a few years ago... complete chick flick... sigh... but not bad for the genre... (dont tell anyone i said that)
yeah anyways i cant remember the song title but wow it was a good song... ahh i cant believe i'm writing this for public viewing :-P but i liked it.
on another completely non-tangential note, i was in Harbourtown with TL the other day doing Christmas shopping with her. hahaha now i know who to go to when i need to get presents for my mother ehh, because i've always been stumped in that regard. it's easy to get presents for guys ehh... but women are a completely different matter (all the guys say Amen :-P)
also... while browsing through the bookstore... i bought Les Miserables -Victor Hugo and all i can say that it's a classic... am halfway through the second book already and its only been 4 days, im addicted. hahaha it's almost like a soap opera, and the way the book plays with your heartstrings is well... amazing. hehehe its the best $10 i've spent... obviously i didnt get the original French version... my French is pretty dodgy now.. and i'd probably still be on page 1 hahaha... but well 700+ pages on.... i like this book alot. and why does Jean Valjean have to leave Paris with Cossette? why? sigh... reading the book you really do feel for poor Jean, and Marius... sigh...
anyways... ive gone on and on so i'll stop now.
