bored to tears

so i just got out of a defensive driving class where everyone with the exception of one was old enough to be my grand parents. (or great grand parents)

i made friends with the only guy who was younger than the rest, frankie, because he felt bad that the people were being catty toward me just for being young, which might have been a bad idea cause we were cracking jokes the whole time and getting in trouble, but a good thing cause i had someone on my side, and he bought me lunch. we went over such thrilling subjects as "your ABS and you" and reaction time and age, and my personal favorite, "how to know when its time to let go of the wheel" with the exception of frankie, they were all evil toward me, and i'm still kinda reeling from the experience, and kinda wishing i would have had a normal defensive driving class with people more my age who speed too much and are only taking the class to get out of a damned ticket.

they even laughed at me it was quite sad. we had to stand up introduce ourselves and tell the year we got our drivers licence, i was the only one who has done it within the last 40 years and it made me feel kinda rediculous frankie got his in 1965ish and everyone else was before 1950, no lie, the worst one was the one who was the most catty toward me (agnes) who got hers in 1929. the only lady that old that i know, that has that much energy to be mean was my great grandma.

so now i feel pretty low about being young, i know that its just cause they were all jealous, but they obviously dont remember the burdons of being young, i have to worry about my badly-paying-more-than-full-time job, a divorce, my schooling, and my non-existant social life. ok so some of these are pretty petty, but they are the things that they are envying, so why bother envying me?

i give up those people were crazy. i'm just glad i have my certificate complete with misspelled name so that i can drive around the kiddos with out killing them, myself, or anyone on the road.
