Why is it that Drive Instructors think that they have to crack a joke every 2 minutes?? Or use the same old boring sayings. I mean come on its the same dry dialoge everytime. Its especially bad when they themselves cant even laugh at their own jokes because deep down in their hearts even they know its a horrible joke which I think their boss makes them say each time they give a lesson. Under the tutelage of California State approved Drive Pro I have learned about these abnoxious, stale, sayings.
Example A:
"I dont make the rules I just break them..... I mean obey them."
After saying this 5 times in the first 7 minutes even he realized he should stop saying it.
Example B:
"To STOP means motions ceases to exist."
I think he said this over 13 times, clearly I have a bit of a habit with my stops. Can I help it if I live in California and therefore like the 'California Roll'??
And Example C:
"FAIL!!!"
Now I know that its their job to let you know how your doing and to say the famed 'POINT' or 'FAIL' but must they say it so loudly??? Theres no need for that. Just a simple "hey you went over the line a bit on that last turn just watch that next time" will suffice.
Santa Barbara ZOO!!
Now my family can finally stop asking where I came from because here is their proof :)
Taking a stroll throught the Zoo on the unconventional trails.
Courtney looks a lil lost.
Savanah was prepared for anything. . . .
There I was minding my own business while sunbathing and I open my eyes to this. Very lady-like.
Savanah and I were being flamingoes but we had to take the picture super swiftly because it smelled so bad! Never go anywhere NEAR those smelly creatures!!
Courtney and I hunting in the Amazon. Actually I think im hunting Courtney who is being a monkey.
Nick OHHH Nick
My good friend Jasmine has 2 little brothers, Alex and Nick. When with this family theres never a dull moment. Simply put their lives should be a reality TV show and I would be its #1 fan. The whole family is truly amazing but Nick will always and forever hold a special place in my heart for 2 scenes I witnessed. 11 year old Nick who is a little on the dramatic side tends to find himself in alot of trouble, and trys to place the blame elsewhere mostly trying to frame Alex as the "real culprit". I'll never forget my first encounter with Nick. Affectionately named "MUHHH LEEEGGGG" by those who were fortunate enough to be there.
It was a fine spring morning when Kirsi, Kelsey, Rachel, Mika and myself took a journey to the high school to play some baseball. We were having a grand time and right as I was going up to bat a strange little child came running up and said "HEY GUYS! your mom said I could play with you". We all instantly recognized him as one of the boys we go to church with and so we let him join in on our game. All was going fine and dandy until it was Nicks turn to bat. No one spoke any concerns but the air suddenly had a tense feel. Everyone assumed position and get very serious just waiting for some sort of disaster to strike. Kelsey threw the first ball which Nick failed to hit. After he hadnt hit 5 balls we all loosened up and were just trying to get him to hit. Giving him words of encouragement he told us "ya guys I have a good feeling bout this one, this is the one. 6th times the charm!" Kelsey threw his lucky 6th ball but to our dismay she threw it 3 feet too wide. Suddenly Nick throw out a piercing cry and screamed "MUHH LEEEEGGGG!!!" We all throw down our gloves and ran to him frantically asking him our concerns. Once we all were huddled around Nick who was still shrieking he finally calmed down enough to utter out "Kelsey...the....ball....she hit muhhh...muhhh..muhh leg!" We all burst out with laughter. We couldnt help it. The ball had been 3 feet from him. After much comforting and tears in which Nick had told us he would probly "NEVER again be able to walk!!" we successfully were able to get him on both feet. Once a minute had gone by it was as if the whole fiasco of "muh leggg" had never happened. What a day :)
Characters in story:
Nick: an 11 year old boy who at the time thinks hes a "gangsta"
Matt: my older brother who Nick thinks is the coolest guy in the world
The second story that is ever so priceless is when one afternoon my brother Matt decided to take Nick with him everywhere he went that day which included doing some gardening around the house. So at 8am Nick came knocking at our door all excited for his days worth of adventures with Matt. With Nick helping with the gardening the boys didnt get as much done as Matt expected so by noon they were only done half of what needed to be accomplished. But Matt told Nick it was time for a break and they came inside where Matt made a smoothie for the both of them. I came entered the room just as Matt was handing a strawberry smoothie to Nick. The next scene goes a lil something like this.
Nick: "chuggg....breath of air....chuggggg.....breath of air....chuggg. Wow Matt that was a 'Tight' smoothie. Do you think I could have some more?"
Matt: "Sure buddy, but Nick you got a lil smoothie all over your face"
Nick: "I do??"
Matt : "Sure do buddy"
Nick: "......(Silence)......Matt.... I think I need a...a...napkin"
Apparently Nick had never thought to use a napkin before. But I'll never forget that Kodak moment of Nick with strawberry smoothie face :)
This is not the smoothie moment tis only a picture of Nick :)

Mooching
To the sir who sits across from me in art class:
Kindly stop mooching supplies off of me and others in class. If money is a problem then go in front of Walmart with a sign that says "Spaceship out of Fuel", or take your musical capabilities to the boardwalk and serenade people as they walk by in hopes that some generous souls will put some pennies or possibly if your lucky some quarters into a cup that says "TIPS" on it. It would be greatly appreciated.
The above is a notice I would ever so dearly love to post in bold, large letters on the door of my art class I have twice a week. Since im left-handed I sit by myself in the corner of the room so as not to bump into anyone as we draw. I prefer to call it being "Socially Inactive". The people who sit around me consists of people who were either late coming into class or who thought the class would earn them an easy A and then were in the deapths of despair when they found out this is NOT an easy class. (Thats right im talking to you 2 jocks in the room.) But lately one of the boys who sits across from me has been coming to class without any supplies. Ummmm he obviously didnt read the syllabus because we need quite a few things in this class. Hence he now has to go around the room and mooch supplies off of the rest of us obedient students who faithfully bring the required things needed.
