What's your excuse?

Pretty much the same.

I've come to realise over the last few years that this is ridiculous, and that I'm missing out by being overly cautious. I've not been yet but I hope to in the near future.

That's partially why some of my family don't ever want to visit the US. I've tried telling them that they are being ridiculous and paranoid. But each to their own.

I definitely want to visit as well.

As much as I know that it is a bit on the paranoid side, it's understandable, when you think of the tourist crimes that happened in Florida a few years back.

I was too chicken to go back to school, but I did it and now I'm six months from graduating and getting a professional license.

I used to be terrified, TERRIFIED, while doing my lessons of even driving down the road.

Now I'm almost too relaxed, I need to remind myself to not go to fast and to take it seriously.

I've never had an accident though and I'm a fairly careful driver, sort of.

I'm still afraid of going on stage but it's one of those fears that I've never thought I'd have trouble facing.

Asking girls out is something I've never done in person, I've never had a long term relationship that wasn't set up via the internet.

I feel you on the driving thing so much it isn't even funny. It took me 3 years to get my driver's license! My OCD hurt me really bad because I couldn't control the cars behind me. I was so paranoid I couldn't even use my rearview mirror and had to move it or I would obsessively check it. The only two times I have been in an 'accident' were where I wasn't even moving. I was just sitting there and someone rear ended me since they weren't paying attention. Guess my paranoia wasn't so unreasonable as I thought.

Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin  That is actually almost lyrics for a great song that has a great life lesson!

When I was fourteen I was fallin' fast
For a blue-eyed girl in my homeroom class.
Tryin to find the courage to ask her out
Was like tryin' to get oil from a water spout.
What she would've said, I can't say.
I never did ask then she moved away.
I learned something from my blue-eyed girl:
sink or swim, you gotta give it a whirl.

Life's a dance, you learn as you go.
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow.
Don't worry 'bout what you don't know,
life's a dance, you learn as you go.

The longer I live the more I believe
You do have to give if you wanna receive.
There's a time to listen, a time to talk.
And you might have to crawl even after you walk.
Had sure things blow up in my face,
Seen the longshot win the race.
Been knocked down by the slammin' door.
Picked myself up and came back for more.

For my it was my first instructor that was really bad.

I never tried again for around 5 years.

After that it was just one year when winter was nearly approaching and i knew if I didn't pass it would be another year relying on the shittest public transport system you can imagine and walking across fields at night in the cold.
So with that incentive I passed everything first time in a fairly short time period.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
