*phew* the debate thingy finally ended last sat.. 1 whole week of it. yep i know it's nothing compared to wat the main com went thru for 2 yrs, but it wasn't v nice all the same; sat nite was THE most unbelievably bad nite i've had in a long time.. sitting out at the waterfront painfully alone in couples' central to look after a bunch of equipment, waiting to send drunks back to the hotel. got cursed by 2 people on the way back, one of them just as i was abt to go back to the hotel rm. yep, brilliant way to end the week. crashed into bed with just 1 phrase on my mind: running on empty. maybe it's just me, worry way too much abt the details.. but at least it's over now, some bad memories but some good ones too.. i hope.
on the plus side, got to drive to grandma's house yesterday.. v unnerving, esp when (a) dad's sitting beside me, (b) we're going on some expressway so i can't drive @ 50 all the time and (c) it's the 1st time i'm using the family car. hit 90 at some pt; parking was.. hilarious. "more to the right! you're gonna hit that car! no wait if u park like this you won't be able to get out! right.. no LEFT!!" unfortunately, i totally agree that yes, female drivers tend to be irritating. time to start finding a bumper sticker that says "imbalanced single yellow female on the loose; pls forgive when necessary", or something to that effect.
