leaping unrelated topics in a single bound

It's been another long day. I took my car to the inspection place at lunch. I was about to pull into the line when I started digging in my glove box for my registration, and noticed it wasn't there. So I have to wait until tomorrow. I felt so stupid. I'm terrified that some cop is going to notice tonight and pull me over, now that I know the tag is expired. I'm sure I'm emitting the guilt radar that prevents me from ever getting away with anything. :)

The funniest ticketing story I've ever heard happened to a friend of Evan's. When the cop came up to the window after pulling him over, the guy waved his hand in a Jedi motion and said seriously, "These are not the two you are looking for." The cop cracked up and let him go. :)

I've been trying to find the line between caring too much about someone, and not caring at all. Does that make any sense? It seems like, if I can't have a full, close relationship with someone I really care about, the only way I can deal with it is to (passively) push them away. And that's not always a bad thing. But what happens when they still want to be friends, despite your pushing- something you never expected to happen? And your instinct is to fall into the old ways, because you really didn't want to push them away in the first place? But you don't want the old ways, either? Where is the line? Ah, vagueness and confusion. :)

You guys are very cool and fun people. I just wanted to make sure you know that. :)

you don't need anything to get inspected. I did it today. It took about an hour and a half to get through the line so you might want to go Saturday. They'll give you a certificate that says you passed, then you need your registration to get your sticker for your plate. There's a County Clerk's office on Poplar by Amro that's really quick for getting your sticker.

I read on the website that you had to have your registration. Bleah! I have to have the inspection before I can get the sticker, and the sticker place isn't open on Saturday... :(

I went through inspection today and didn't have anything with me. they scan your VIN and it should be in their computers.

Dude, that ticketing story was THE FUNNIEST thing I've read...EVER! Ok, maybe not ever, cuz the first time I read "The HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy" was probably the funniest time I've ever had...or watching The Holy Grail for the first time. ANYWAY, I totally laughed out loud with your story, and I will have to use it if I ever get pulled over. That is, if I can think of it and pull it off with ease. Jedi powers don't work well when you're all shaken up.

Yeah, he would have been in a ton of trouble if the cop hadn't thought it was funny. :)

I'm cool and fun? :) I suddenly know how Rudolph felt when the female reindeer kissed him and he jumped up so high.

As for the relationship dilemma. I know EXACTLY what you mean. It is very hard to do. For me when that happens, I sort of need time to heal my heart, and then I can gently reenter the friendship like it was, but knowing in my mind not to play to any daydreams or wishes for anything more. :) It will be okay, Brenda. :)

Ah hehehe

That's great . . . all the guys (and a bunch of the girls) at my school are obsessed with Star Wars, so I can totally see that happening. Hehehe.

Once the registration on my mom's car was EIGHT months overdue. That did not go over too well with the cop who pulled her over. Er - I don't remember the rest of the story . . . but I do remember the eight month part. Hehehe.

Re: Ah hehehe

Eight months!! Wow. Well, mine is seven months, so I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who's ever done that. :)

But what happens when they still want to be friends, despite your pushing- something you never expected to happen?

I think I can relate. My ex is bad for me, but I can't get rid of her. She blames me for giving up or gets mad at me for not expressing more of a loss, and we get into fights. I feel guilt; I hope that maybe she won't call me back this time. But she does, and apologizes, and says she needs me as a friend. And the cycle begins again. So I'm torn between wanting to be a good friend and wanting to get the negative influence out of my life. :/

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It's hard. And it never seems to end. :( It's not that he's bad for me, but I continue to have feelings he doesn't, and it causes problems. I guess that's kind of like your situation. I don't know if it's possible to ever get past that sort of thing.
