Like lambs to the slaughter Have you ever been so utterly encompassed with all the bits of the world that perhaps are more dark and twisted then most, and then walked outside and seen two day old fawns stilting precariously around in a field? It's the weirdest thing, because here's you, who laughs at a movie about mass suicides, even when she thinks about said movie, standing completely dumbfounded in the blinding sunlight, and all you can think (or evidently, say) is, "awwwwww...they are SO adorable..."

Blast! My tough facade, it is transparent!

Today was a delicious day spent sleeping in until seven o'clock, and then sleeping some more with my eyes open at city hall, where we the huddled orange masses learned many interesting things like --it isn't illegal if you are not wearing a seatbelt when you back up. You don't have to wear a seatbelt if you are a courier, going under 40 km/h. Even if you blow under 0.08, you can still get arrested if it's in the sevens. And that it is better to hit an object moving in the same direction as you opposed to oncoming, or a standing object. I find this a little weird, because rentacop told us this while explaining you should avoid head-on collisions as much as possible, and basically advocated sideswiping or "grazing" another car next to you if you could.

Of course with any driver's training comes the obligatory spiel about drinking and driving, which we actually spent a lot of time on surprisingly. It was interesting though, because there was a lot of moral condemnation going on, but there was just as much detailed discussion on what you "can get away with." It also just struck me as odd and slightly wrong how nonchalant everyone was being about the whole drinking and driving thing. AND THEN, I wondered if this was our fault...have we desensitized ourselves to this whole thing?  ¶ 5:43 PM
