Really I'm just writing this because my one solitary blog looks very lonely. But then I thought, well what really happened today that would be of any interest and worthy of writing. The only exciting thing about today is the fact that I PASSED MY G2 EXIT TEST!! Really, I'm not that excited. But it was scary, ok?! Those driving examiners can be mean! For example:
"Jim": Ok, you passed, but what was with that hesitation at that one right-hand turn off of Main Street?
Janet: Well, I was confused...
"Jim": What's confusing about a green arrow pointing right?
Janet: Well, I'd never seen that before... and well, ....
"Jim": It's just like the left ones we always see, except it was right.
Janet: OK!!! You win! You're the examiner! I should have known that the right arrow meant to go right with no question! I wanna go home!!
Ok, so I exaggerated a bit, but having that guy act like I should know everything there is to know about driving made me think about the way I might sometimes act in my own areas of "expertise" (or supposed expertise). It kinda reminds me of this conversation....
Janet: So we won our frisbee game tonight.
"Carol": Oh.... you get points in frisbee?
Janet: Well, yeah... it's a game. You know... ultimate frisbee? You probably played it in gym class in highschool?
"Carol": So... how do you get points? Like... you throw it back and forth and if you catch it you get a point?
Janet: Well, it's a whole game... like football... you have to catch it in the end zone. What? Have you never heard of ULTIMATE FRISBEE?? It's like, a game! It's like... popular! Everyone plays it!!!!!! And everyone knows you turn right at the green arrow on Main Street! Come on!!
Anyway, this was all just a reminder for me that we all have a different knowledge base and should be gracious and humble in all circumstances. And yes, never forget to turn right at the green arrow on Main Street.
(Sabrina, I changed your name to "Carol" up there to hide your identity, ok? Talk to you later!)

Another fellow blogger! Woot woot! Blog often and blog well.
Where can I get ahold of this movie you like called "and the Wardrobe"?
I like your choice of favourite bands.
I also like sleep.
And pizza.
A brilliant post. The guy you had for your test wouldn't happen to be a skinny asain dude who looks like he's from the matrix, would he?
Sounds like my guy who was that guy described above.
Needless to say I enjoyed the blunt humor and the obvious Janet-esq conversation/typing. You even posted a video. Wow multimedia. Good stuff.
