Or maybe it’s only the charm because I thought “Oh god, if I fail this time then I’ll have to take my test a fourth time. There’s no cute little sayings about four times!”, and thus I would have been screwed. Luckily, it didn’t come to that and I passed with a mere five minors. (Which is considerably better than the nine minors, one dangerous and one serious that I got on the first test. And still better than the six minors and two serious on the second time. Although, I swear it was still green when I went through!)

If nothing else, this post clearly proves that I am a girl (and not a lie or a guy living in my parents’ basement. Not that we have a basement. I suppose I could live in the loft that we’re having converted…). I’m not really a bad driver. I don’t stall or fumble at traffic lights. I stay in the correct lane. I don’t drive too slowly (okay, two of my minors were for undue hesitation and for driving too slowly, but it was raining really hard and I didn’t see any speed signs!). I’m just terrified of roundabouts. Not that it matters now! I don’t have to take any more tests! I am freeeeeeeeeeeeee. Unless, as my driving instructor pointed out on the drive home, I get six points, get reverted back to a provisional licence and have to do the whole thing again. When he said that I kind of considered just not driving for the next two years till I get a proper licence and am allowed to get 12 points before I have to retake it all…

Anyway! I thought I should come introduce myself properly, since Martin very kindly gave me a little introduction in the post before the very delicious looking cocktail. So, a little bit more about myself. I’m 21 and, unfortunately, still living at home. This is doubly frustrating as I have spent the last three years at university in Sheffield and am, as such, accustomed to a far different lifestyle to the one provided here… Where I live is pretty much where old people go to fulfil their lifelong ambitions of living beside the sea. Nevermind that where we live the sea varies intermittently between blue-brown and green-brown; that colour water goes when you wash your paintbrush in it after using all the different colours. And most of the beaches are just pebbles.

But at least I have a job now. Okay, it’s a minimum wage job and everyone who works there is either older than me and has kids or still goes to school. But it does get my parents off my back. Whilst seriously limiting my game time… This is inopportune as I have a rather large stash of games that I still need to work my way through… As well as a rather large pile of books and a handful of films. In the rest of my, limited, spare time, I draw (mainly videogame characters), listen to music, and bake various baked goods. Especially cupcakes. Mmmm.

Nom nom nom.

I’mma stop rambling now and might go nap. 8:43pm is too early to go to bed for real. But I’m so sleepyyyyyy…

Zzzzzzzzzz.
