You know who I'm getting sick of hearing about?
Zach Braff.
That's all I have to say about that.

So, don't tell the DMV, but I am driving on borrowed time. When I moved out here, I had JUST renewed my Pennsylvania registration, and damned if I was gonna pay for that again. I actually attempted to take the driver's test a few times, but I kept getting to the DMV "only" an hour before they closed, and I would never have gotten through the line in time.
I have yet to understand why all the modern conveniences of this grown-up world we live in are only open during the times when we grown ups are working to make the money to afford aforementioned conveniences.

Post offices, banks, insurance companies...all of these are ONLY open during the 8 hours I happen to be at work. Even my gym only teaches any classes from the hours of 8-4. Seriously, maybe I'm just a newfangled, forward-thinking girl, but is the world really populated by housewives? Does anyone think that maybe a girl with a job would also like to take that pilates class or mail a letter? And, no offense to any readers who have such jobs, but post office workers and bankers aren't exactly the elite of society. Would it be so hard to have them work from 5-midnight? I used to be a waitress, and I worked any damn hours anyone wanted to eat. Yeah, it sucked, but guess what. If we were only open from 9:30-noon, we probably wouldn't have made the big bucks that enabled half the staff to continue their heroin habits. Won't someone please think of the smackheads?

But I digress. After camp ended and now, after Kameron's wedding, I have stopped my seemingly monthly trips back to Pittsburgh and I can no longer claim my made-up stance of dual-state citizenship, I really need to hunker down and just take the damn test. Surprise! The DMV is only open one Saturday a month! Ooh, and also, the three ones closest to me are mysteriously closed until mid October. I discovered this last month. So my registration expired on the first of this month, and I'm unable to get to any DMV until at least October 21, which is the one Saturday all DMVs are open.

So now I have to study for this stupid test regardless of the fact that NO ONE IN CALIFORNIA KNOWS WHAT A BLINKING RED LIGHT MEANS. I swear to God, if anyone knows what it is, I just happen to be stuck behind the same idiots every single day. They just sit there, waiting for a green, perhaps distracted by the pretty blinking, while I am behind them in the next car trying to kill them with the power of my mind.

So, yeah, I guess I'm taking the test in a couple weeks. Wish me luck. I'll let you know how it turns out. Unless I fail it, in which case I will post that I fell down a flight of stairs and was unable to take the test that day.
