The Emerald City

What would you want it to be? Your fantasy?

I'm weirdly obsessed with sparkly things, so my Emerald City would be made entirely of gems...diamonds, rubies, sapphires, etc, etc. And only I would live there. lol. Leave me to my jewels and I will be a happy woman.

LOL Phoenix!

I don't know...I suppose someplace where everyone got along...but, I would have to be the boss!! LOL! j/k! Oh, I suppose it would be too boring if there was never any conflict...
Hmmm...I will have to give it more thought...

LOL, I love that: "I would have to be the boss". hehe, totally aquarian Star! I love ya! 😛

You know for being the humanitarian sign...we sure do love to be in control!! That sometimes translates into being bossy! My daughter is sooo bossy, sometimes I have to sit her down and say, 'listen to yourself'!! And she does the same with me! LOL! We get caught up and don't always realize it...our senses of humor are never far from the surface though, unless we are really upset or pissed.
Love ya too! 😛

well for me..uh..i dont know..my place wouldnt be the same all the time, since id get bored of it. I want constant change ok?!?! But the one thing i love to do is be in a car while SOMEONE is driving LOL yes, i dont know how to drive yet--and the window is down and listening to music and laughing with my friends and its night time and going on some wild road trip or just cruising around 🙂 pwahhaha.

I remember one time i drove in my friends tammi's car..dude it was so fun LOL she was like SLOW DOWN!! cus you know..it IS my first time my child, and then she told me to do a U turn or wutever but i got confused cus i wanted to control it and go faster but she was talking while i was thinking "faster..faster..faster" and then i heard "u turn" but got confused and i turned to this gate place where you go in to go into the home village place or wutever the frock and then shes like NO!!!! and so i turned the other way but it happens that i turned and was still on the lane where the cars coming toward OUR way meaning the car is coming toward US and then shes like OMG!! TURN TURN@O)# $ )#@ $ !! and then im like OH SHIZ! *turns* woosh! and then we're on the right lane and then i stop against the side walk places and shes like breathing heavely going "girl..you scare me" and im like LAUGHING cus its just too hilarious to me.

Well that was random, but thats me 🙂

OMG i forgot, i almost crashed into the car when i was turning from the wrong lane to the right and its like BEEEEEEEEEP and then shes like GAHHH @_@ and yeah LOL wow, how can i forget THAT?! jeebus..

Remind me not to let you drive the car, Luz!! Just kidding!

But, it is scary butter when you do get hit..YIKES!!

Holy tomatoes, Luzzie! That was pretty funny, although I can see why your friend almost had an accident of her own, if you know what I mean...lol. Don't worry, I think we all have almost killed ourselves or someone else in our early days of learning to drive (during Drivers' Ed, I almost crashed the car into one of those huge cement medians separating 4 lanes of traffic...the other student in the backseat was like, plastered to the back of her seat, arms splayed out...lol. I didn't know at the time that you don't just follow the car in front of you when turning left, you actually have to allow some distance between your car and theirs so that you can follow that curvy line thingy...if that makes any sense at all, lol)--anyway, there were at least 6 or 7 different occassions when the instructor felt the need to slam on the brakes for me with that passenger side brake pedal that comes with the drivers' ed cars...oh and one time, I couldn't see, it was at night, and I turned into the wrong lane...aaaahhhh, that was freakin' scary. One of those times when the instructor actually grabbed the wheel from me...eek. Actually that was the only time he grabbed the wheel, and he was way nicer about it then he had to be. He was like, "Heather, now can you tell me what's wrong with this picture? Do you see any signals that you've done something wrong?" I'm like, frantically trying to figure it out, and I'm like, "...no, not really..." and then we see the headlights of another vehicle coming toward us (thankfully they were waaaaay down the road so I had plenty of time to switch lanes into the right one), and I'm like, "oh, woops, hey look at that, I'm definitely in the wrong lane!" and he calmly grabs the wheel (probably because I was starting to get really nervous) and we gently coast into the right lane. LOL. I've never gotten a ticket though, and I ended up getting a 95/100 on my actual driving test, and 100 on the written part. I would have gotten a 100 on the driving part, except for that pesky curb getting in my way as I was turning the corner to pull back into the dmv...it made this really awful screeeeeech sound, which made both me and the instructor crack up...lol. I really sort of hate driving now though, there's so many crazies out there on the road. I like other people to drive whenever possible. But anyway, to make a short story long, I sucked at first, you will get better with time. At least you didn't burst into tears the first time you sat in the driver's seat and started the car. lol. I was like, "oh my god, I can't take the pressure of operating a two ton death machine!". My dad was like, "oh for the love of god, get out and switch me, then". LOL.

Funny stories, funny stories 😛

OK...one thing I would want is talking animals. I can kinda read their minds...but, it would be much more fun to hear what they have to say! Fewer insects...OK...enough insects to keep the food chain thing alive and kicking...but, none that sting or bite....in fact all of them are afraid of me! Yeah...that's the ticket! (talk to the lovitzimpersonator once and now I am impersonating the impersonator!!)

My Driver's Ed teacher made me nervous...he yelled at everyone. Just the way he was (your basic jerk, size extra large! LOL!)! Anyway, like I said he made me nervous...so, I drove worse because of it! LOL! I remember he hollared at me when I went to parallel park saying I wasn't close enough to the car ahead of me...so, I swooped in closer! I remember that look on his face as he held his breath because we maybe could squeeze a piece of paper between the car I originally wasn't close enough to and the car I was driving! LOL! (Ok...maybe not quite that close...but, he was definitely holding his breath and looking out his window at the close distance!) I didn't scrape the other car and parallel parked just fine...
I wish I had the guts back then to tell him to shut up and not to treetrunk with me...it just made it worse!
Another time, he told me I slowed up too much for a curve...the next time I took a sharp curve, I speeded up! OK! Maybe I had an attitude...but, it sure seemed to me like it was him! LOL!!

AHHAA i wouldve done the same star..*pets* well done my child LOL

You see! You are my daugter Luz! Or is it the other way around??!! LOL!

LOL!!! hEhEHEheHEHaAHAHAHAOHOHOHOHHEHeAHAHOHOHOo no...

dude that was sucha spur of the moment thing, anyway LOL

Love your idea of an emerald city Star--and yeah, I really truly honestly cannot drive with highly strung people in the car. It throws my whole mood off and I can't drive as well. For example, my father and I cannot drive together (with me as the driver), because he'll freak out and yell all of a sudden just because I don't drive *exactly* the way he drives. My father and I don't get along too well ordinarily, and I suppose being in a car together where I have all the control just really irritates him...but anyway, I find it to be hypocritical because he's gotten all kinds of tickets, speeding, etc, he's been in accidents (fender benders) and me? Not a one. So, about 2 years ago after he made me cry for freaking out that I almost drove into a bush (lol, because he was distracting me, might I add, by yelling at me for something else)--I said, I'm sorry but this whole you driving with me thing isn't going to work out. And it was funny because he was in total agreement. He was like, "yeah, I yell at you and make you nervous, and I can't stand the way anybody drives except for me, so it's for the best". LOL. From that day on, he is not a passenger in my car, which we are both quite fine with... 😛

Yeah, I don't think I could handle having my Dad as a passenger in my car either! He is an agressive driver and very impatient with other drivers...not exactly road-rage...but, it comes a close second! I am more of a defensive driver...anticipating the moves of the others on the road...

But, what was that quote? "You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive"!! LOL!
