!!! I want my sisters to read the entry below this one, next time they're at a cafe.!!!
[begin regular entry]
::cackles::
I had my first driving lesson today! ::cackles::
Oh, god, it was so much fun :P I was so nervous! We started driving across from John Muir, and so I drove around Scott (Jefferson area) for like, an hour :P we made lots of circles. Left turn, straight, right turn, straight...
The entire lesson was punctuated with "BRAKE!" and "More gas, more gas, more gas... NO GAS!" from my poor driving instructor. By the second hour I was getting a lot more confident, which I'm sure scared him even more.
I got some Korean dude, btw.. he was nice, but I wouldn't reccommend him unless you're okay with somewhat broken English. ::grew up with broken English:: I have no problem there. He was perfectly nice though ^^ $50/2hrs. There are cheaper people, but my parents were okay with paying that price.
Anyway! I had such fun :> I passed by Stacy's house, and I'm going to hope that none of her family saw me because I made a very big boo-boo right outside there. (Um, their car is okay, right? :P JK.)
I'm very good with the brake pedal, which is not really hard... I can do very good rolling brakes now :) I just have crappy control over the gas pedal (it goes VOOM if I just lean on it a bit). Anyway, my next lesson is Monday morning.. and then another one on Friday and I'm done.
Btw, I hate five way intersections. He told me to make a left turn, and I had NO IDEA where he wanted me to turn, and there were cars on ALL sides and lights blinking everywhere and I was so frightened >.< so I was going at about 15mph in that area.. oops.
When I first started driving, we were just going straight along Kenneth for at least 10 blocks, and I was going at around 20mph, and there was this huge SUV stuck behind us for the entirety of the trip. ::laughs:: I felt kinda bad, but I had JUST started driving so I wasn't making any turns or anything. I think they were getting irritated.
On another note: My house happens to get a lot of visitors in the summer. Of the arachnid type, that is, plus junebugs and the narrow flat ones with the silver powder on their backs. At any rate, most of them show up in the computer room, and because I hate bugs, I've gotten to be really good at killing them. (I hate killing Junebugs, though, because they're so hard to squish and it's just really nasty.)
Yesterday, I got into the shower - my shower is one of those stand-up only things btw - and I turned on the water, and for some really bizarre reason, I happened to look up at the ceiling.
I kill a lot of bugs, so I know a large one when I see one. AND THAT WAS ONE ENORMOUS, DISGUSTING BLACK SPIDER SITTING ON THE CEILING.
I think I took it very well. I slowly opened the shower door, stepped out, and blinked at it for a moment. I hate it when spiders are on the ceiling ... yeah, I wasn't going to wait for it to drop down on my head. I picked up my shower head (it's one of those hand-held thingies), turned the water all the way to hot, and then sprayed the little bastard.
I hope he boiled. I doubt it, though - spiders survive at very high temperatures. He then washed down the drain, and then to make myself feel better - because I think spiders can survive in water for short amounts of time, and I didn't want this thing coming up the drain - I took a very old bottle of shampoo from under the sink and poured some of the contents down after the spider.
And some shaving cream.
And then I aimed the shower head at the drain and just let it pour scalding hot water down for five minutes.
I was slightly paranoid.
I really hope all the soap bubbles prevented that thing from ever rising again. How absolutely disgusting. I HATE SPIDERS. Unfortunately, I am the only one at home of my sisters, and my dad refuses to kill them for me ("They're your friends"), so I have to kill them.
BLECH.
My N64 is very dusty now, poor thing. It's sitting right next to my Gamecube, which is hard to tell when it's dusty because it's platinum (except when the black is dusty). ^_^ Hey, does anyone here own Pikmin? ?_?
Btw, Andrew, blogging is a very good thing :> besides, it gives us all something to do off our fat, lazy asses this summer.
Spoken words: 12 have fallen.
Uh-oh, looks like someone has got a little case of bloodlust! =)
you sure taught THAT spider a lesson.

Good Job Janice. Spiders are way disgusting. You're paranoid bout spiders!?! Just read about my experience with spiders from a couple days ago. Well..yea...I guess I'm gonna go and blog about it so people can read about how insanely weird I am around spiders.

I can't decide which one of these comments is the most ridiculous.
Mine is first. We don't need to discuss this one.
Earl doesn't look like he read the blog. That comment pretty much fits anywhere. Not just online, either. I think I saw some guy on a soap box handing out pamphlets that said the same thing.
Sarah's comment... Well... My comment is redirected to her's.
Jessica's is no fun.
i see someting bizare(leg of spider) i look at the processor and well i dont need to give u details but i swear i could have made a cocktail with its remains.
Am I the only one who thinks there's something wrong with that?
I can't decide if these are the best or the worst comments I've ever seen.

Andrew, I agree with you about these comments, but I have to say that they match the websites you insist on linking.
And also, how I am bloodthirsty!? IT WAS A SPIDER. BLECH.
[got bitten very badly when she was younger]

I'm not gonna miss a chance to call you bloodthirsty, Janice...
Posted by andrew @ 07/13/2003 12:57 AM PST
Janice, I actually do the same things with spiders. Hahhaha. If one falls into the sink i turn on the water very hot and start dumping shampoo and whatnot into it. I ultimately share your pain with spiders.

...bloodthirsty janice. perfect name. >>snickers<<

Wait just a minute... Let's go over this again. Things in bold are mine.
I picked up my shower head, turned the water all the way to hot, and then sprayed the little bastard. "Sprayed the little bastard". Calm down there, Janice
I hope he boiled.Wow, that sounds evil He then washed down the drain, and then to make myself feel better I took a very old bottle of shampoo from under the sink and poured some of the contents down after the spider."To make my self feel better, I beat his dead corpse with that jagged rock over there. Hey, how was I suposed to know he was already dead, I was too busy laughing maniacally" *sweet girlish smile*
And some shaving cream.You think all ^that^ would be enough for Janice "The butcher of spiders" Lee.
And then I aimed the shower head at the drain and just let it pour scalding hot water down for five minutes."...All the while I was cackling and writing 'all work and no play makes Janice a dull boy' [yes I wrote boy on purpose] on the wall using my own blood... mostly."
I was slightly paranoid."Scratch that... I mean Bloodthirstily Ragozerkified.
I really hope all the soap bubbles prevented that thing from ever rising again.That's the meanist thing i've heard all day absolutely disgusting."By disgusting, I mean [insert my favorite adjective here. I'm not gonna risk being put to death like poor spindly (yeah, I named him) here. It's in this comment. It's not hard to find.] my dad refuses to kill them for me ("They're your friends"), so I have to kill them. You HAVE to kill your dad's friends, eh. You're sick.
Now let us bow our heads in a moment of silence for poor spindly.
