In the words of Gary from WILAY, "Oh, my damn!"

[filmobsessed137]

So this morning I attempted to beat the rain to the DMV... didn't quite work. I had just got to the bridge when woosh, it poured. So, it was my first time driving over that bridge alone, and it was pouring. It was oh so much fun. Then I got to the DMV, and for once, no line! There was no one ahead of me. Then a whole bunch of people came in behind me. Anyway. The guy looked at what I'd brought and the insurance agency apparently gave me the wrong paper, it was missing some info. And my check stub didn't have my damn address on it! Argh. So I had to go all the way back almost home to the insurance place to get the paper replaced. On the way I got on the entrance to the bridge, and when I got to the top everyone was stopping, and the bridge light was red! So, I also had my first time driving and getting stopped at the bridge for a routine opening by myself. A lot of firsts today, because it was also my first visit to this particular insurance agency. Actually, any insurance agency. My dad always handled it, but since he was working and I was perfectly mobile.. voila. So then I went BACK to the DMV (by now it was 11:30. I woke up at 9am, dressed, checked weather, ate quick, and left by 9:30ish) There was a line now, so I had to wait, it was maybe like ten minutes though, and I went up and showed a girl this time, all the stuff I had, and she put me in their computer, and then I had to do an eye test, and tell her what various sign things in the eye gadget meant. (ie, Downhill sign, with the truck; Handicapped Parking, Median Begins, No Parking, Stop, Caution, No Passing Zone, and a school zone sign, and more but I forget) Then I had to go to a nifty computer terminal and answer 25 questions, I needed 20 right, and so, like 5 questions in I got 1 wrong... then about 8 in I got like 2 in a row wrong, then like 16 in I got another wrong. By 20 I had 5 wrong and COULD NOT FUCK UP THE LAST FIVE OR ELSE. OMG. Pressure. And some of the questions were like, trick questions dammit! Like one was all "If you break down on a highway what do you do?" A was retarded and immediately disregarded, but B and C said like, "Pull over to the right and lift your hood," and "Put on your fourway flashers." And I was thinking, "Well, I'd do both if I could!!" Anyway, I managed to squeak by those last 5. But OMG OMG OMG I was panicking each time I picked an answer and hit the score button. But I passed, and then I saw another guy, my third DMV person. Who finished entering me in the system, and told me I could pick a picture thingy for the background of my license. It was like, a bi-wing plane, the state outline, the state seal, or a lighthouse. I picked the lighthouse. Then he took $32 for my lisence fee, which it don't expire til 2013 now. Then he told me to go sit and wait for the guy (the first one I talked to who turned me away) to call me to the picture booth thing. So I did, and he did, and he took the picture and I signed the card thingy, and then he told me to sit back down for a few minutes. So I did, and like 2 minutes later he called me again, handed me my pretty new lisence, and had me check it for mistakes.

The only thing is, they marked my hair as brown! But it's... fine. FINE. It's brown. I'm a brunette. *sigh* I've been a damn blonde all my life, I have pictures of me as a child with like, corn silk hair, but apparently the older I get the darker it gets...

So I now have my very first NC lisence. Then I went to my doctors to get a prescription refill, also happens to be mom's work. So I showed her the lisence. Then I went to the insurance place again and let them copy my lisence. Then I came home, gouged on pizza and watched Charmed. At which point I found that DVR fucked up my Crossing Jordan last night, but I'm over it. I am.
