Friday Five
As I have nothing else exciting to report, I’m gonna give incorporating the Friday Five into my weekly blog-routine. Here goes nothin’:
1. Do you have a car? If so, what kind of car is it? 2002 Pontiac Sunfire, indigo. Named her Samantha Jones, in honor of my favorite “Sex and the City” character.
2. Do you drive very often? Never owned a car until Oct. 18, 2001 (had only previously been in driver’s side of a vehicle four times before that, two of which were to take my test at age 19). So yeah, I do round trips to Pittsburgh, drive to work, find malls, etc. I don’t love to drive down here in NOVA, but I’m getting less afraid of doing it.
3. What’s your dream car? My dream car has always been one that I own. I am so not picky about cars … especially because in the DC metro area, every car on the road is dented or scratched. Poor Samantha Jones has acquired dozens of new dings and scrapes in her month in NOVA, and she’s just pissed at me.
4. Have you ever received a ticket? Nope. Knock on wood, ‘cuz I’ve certainly been pulled over a number of times!!!
5. Have you ever been in an accident? At age 13, I was in a horrible accident with my family (I wasn’t driving, in case you were wondering). Now I have creaking joints and migraines, thanks to that. Yippee. I’m scared shitless of being in another wreck.
Well, that was therapeutic.
