you can never tell (the pulp fiction soundtrack is excellent driving music)

I PASSED MY DRIVER'S TEST! And my math test, too.

With the maximum fifteen points off. Actually, it was sixteen, but I had a most merciful and kind driving instructor who passed me anyway. I made lots of little mistakes, some of them debatable, but I'm just grateful to have passed. Thankfully they didn't take my photo (they'll probably use the one on their database on my permit), because I didn't feel like being photographed in my school sweatshirt or in my PJ top that I forgot to change out of this morning.

Rebecca says that I don't really have an accent, though sometimes I tend to emphasize odd words ('tis possible, I guess...I haven't really noticed that). Jen claims that I have a fairly noticeable accent that sounds somewhat British, and that she noticed it from the beginning. Kerstin says that I have an interesting way of speaking (I do? Really?) but the accent isn't very placable. Apparently I enunciate my words quite clearly unlike most Californians. That just puzzles me because I happen to think that I mumble and slur my words. The polling continues.

yes, actually, you do pronounce your words very carefully. not a bad thing by any means.

and CONGRADULATIONS!

I think I spelled congratulations wrong. fuck.

Ya you did. But I think it's cute.

And CONGRATULATIONS! Huzzah! Party! Wait... You're only a day older than I. And I most definately am not getting a license tomorrow. I feel deficient. But in a proud way.

You're never deficient, Anya; you're a very good lemon-catcher and lemon-tosser. I barely even passed my exam as I described above. I won't really be able to drive around by myself since I don't exactly have a car (borrowing the mother's most of the time), and I already carpool to school.

Thankee! I always forget how to spell that word, too, so I end up saying "Congrats!" instead.

Personally I think that I'm quite sloppy with my speech, which is why I am surprised to hear otherwise. Unless there is a massive conspiracy about it all that I am unfamiliar with.

*smiles* Congradulations, my dear. I want to see your license photo.

Unluckily for you, I do not have a scanner, and I doubt that sending a photocopy to your address would work so well. Thanks anyway.

Why not in person Ms. Passed Her Drivers Test?

[theladyrose.livejournal.com]

That would also be quite lovely, except that I don't have a car, and I couldn't rent one.

One of these days, Alice, one of these days...
