As promised... this is the contents of a file written 1/12/03:
Well, I'm back at my apt. Drove here on my rental. Parents takeing it back.
The rental was a ford Taurus, nice, '03 model, decent acceleration. But it's why i've got it is the problem... and a goodbye.
The red wagon... the 1994 Ford Taurus GL Wagon... has been totaled.
I was driving in Sharon, outside Walpole MA, with meghan... we were going to the movies, came from a little christian store... it was snowing, roads were icy... car slid off the right quite hard into a rock wall. A guy hit the back end a few minutes later to be the icing on the cake.
I loved that car. Almost as much as i loved the couch, i LOVED that car. It's not that it was anything super, or special... it was just big enough to carry and cart tons of friends on long trips to everywhere. that's what i loved. it's the first car i did EVERYTHING in. It was the first car i used and abused in every way, and loved it to death.
I wish i were putting more gramatical strength into these words, as a better remembrance for this car... but for no particular reason i dont have the strenth of mind at the moment. But rather than get into discussion on why my writing wont be great, or why i should put better words down, i will just go on with the rememberance...
Places i've gone:
Toronto: with dan, LB, Emma, and me. snuck out with this car, as usual, keeping my parents in the dark that i drove it all those 4/500 miles out there... HULLABALOOOOOZAAAS!!!
Before that, Seneca Lake: winery's... with 7 people. even got to use the rear seat thingy... then keith got sick when we got back... a few times. that was fun... 100 miles out from Binghamton.
Johnson City NY so many many many times: to visit amanda, keith, whoever... and back when i actually lived there, back and forth to visit sloane in CT.
Boston: to drive Megs around... oh yeah, and to drive sloane there... ah yes, and to drive becca home from logan.
Friggin B-something VERMONT!!!: geez... drove sherri all the way up there to have her bitch out her ex till he werent her ex no more. but i loved that trip... hit a buck-20 on I-89 on the way home. got a pin from "vermont's finest"... that was 200 miles? yeah something like that.
Dan's place in Swansea.
Providence Place Mall.
Sherri's house.
Worchester with meghan so she could go to a concert... while i stayed in the car and read some stuff for my Cyberlaw report.
Keene? Mt Manadnock: with melissa, Erin, Tammy and Mark.
Back and forth to my apt here at school.
The top of Sugarloaf mt: one time doing this i left it up there while Megs and i walked the mountain... then it got left up there... and the police called.
The top of Mt Holyoke: birthday party for Julie. (i wanted something similar to this to be the end of the screen play)
Well i'm not going to list things i've done... because they're mostly erotic... and other stuff too... but still, i think there's other stuff i could talk about.
You see, i was kind of excited when the whole accident thingy happened... it was fun. i was never in an accident before... megs and i got out without injuries at all... so it wasnt a big deal. After i got home and sat at my kitchen table... i crashed. I didnt have the car i did so many things in anymore... but more than that (at that time, anyway) it was going to cost my parents a ton of money. Insurance wouldnt be good to us... well... i dont know that yet, but it wont look good... the car was old, lots of miles. I was saying to everyone... and i will say now: I love driving.
Driving has been such a release, a pasttime, a therapy for me.
Its not the fact that i love the car, its not even the fact that i love to travel... it's these couple things: When i'm in my car it's usually to visit someone i love, or its with someone i love in the car with me, or i'm leaving somewhere i dont want to be, and going to a place i do. I feel calmer just sitting in my car yes... but it's just the trained position i'm sitting in, where i'm so used to moving through space... at whatever speed... so long as it's not 0.
