2010 Lexus RX
The exterior is bland--interior is a mess.

Probably should make sure the wheels are aligned too

Well... during uh, orgasm... if it's intense... I find your eyes want to roll up and back, which isn't very good for keeping them on the road.

Okay... how do you do the sex while driving? I won't get into why I want to know (if you actually have)... and no, it wasn't me! LOL

Most Popular Car Colors
I've never seen a white Prius in any generation. Ditto... I've seen Red, Blue, Black, Silver and my friend's color, beige (which wasn't their first choice, but didn't want to wait--they originally wanted Silver). I've only seen one green Prius.

U.S. Getting the Buick Regal
Hmmm.... Theory? 2010 LaCrosse is AWESOME... price goes up a little each year. Eventually, its price is starting at $30. Regal arrives for the 2012 MY. Regal is a bit smaller, completely premium, starting at $25,000. It has features only available on the top trim Malibu, and features unique to Buick, maybe like AWD, Xenon headlamps, HUD, etc. Just a guess at what GM could be thinking. EDIT: I removed an apostrophe.

I wonder what the 3900 feels like.

Winter Driving
Living on Long Island, I'm very used to driving in ice. I don't fear driving on ice. I fear being on the roads with other asshole drivers in their SUVs driving on ice.

Don't Shoot Your Eye Out, Kid!
Now, this is the FIRST time I have seen this car: a previous generation, Malibu SS sedan in black. I was overwhelmed by my lack of excitement.

I only went once this week, but I started two weeks ago--this week was crazy with auditions every day after work (for the school play). I am trying to do the positive thing and release some endorphins. We'll see.. hopefully I can make it a routine.

Haha, yeah, that's a difference... in a moderately priced area, a 2100 sq ft house in my friend's neighborhood goes for over 550K... near my parents, well over 2 million. Well, I'm in a MUCH different place than I was 10 years ago. I'm healthier mentally because I'm accepting my sexuality and not tolerating the crap my parents dish out. However, when I finally am in a relationship with someone, it's going to be a whole new can of worms to open up when I have to show my parents I'm in a relationship and I'm living with a man, and everything that accompanies it. You have a great attitude for what you've just been through--so many can just fold into a ball... you seem like you're staying strong which is wonderful!

Ugh, that's terrible. I'm sorry to hear. I'm trying to keep my chin up--I think the big problem is just lately I'm feeling incredibly stressed, and it's wearing me down. I'm feeling overly tired physically, and it's from the stress at work because it comes home with me being that I have to do so much work outside of the building. I know to look at my friends, a car that works, that I'm actually employed at the current moment, etc. I just need a break mentally if anything!

Haha... you should hear what C&G's one Chris Doane called me the other night... Uffa! That's what I thought...

I honestly don't remember the last time I got the battery--I'll have to go through a slew of receipts. I'm hoping it's the battery--just don't feel like springing for a new alternator.

Again, the job is not secure. As for tenure, it's not the kids who make the impression, it's the way the principal assesses you. If he doesn't like you (and one of them doesn't), he votes no. He goes out of his way to support his "no". Then he presents that in front of a board that has never met you and they say "Okay, you said no, so we say no." Now, I'm not as overly concerned about tenure any more as the fact that we have NO money, and the other schools on LI don't either, so not only are schools trying to get rid of untenured teachers to save a buck, but other districts aren't hiring new teachers. As for LI, I do like it here, especially out east. And Italian is really only offered in secondary schools mainly in the northeast of the US. Once I have my Spanish certification, location would become more flexible (although other states are not nearly as strict with certifications as NY is). As for my parents, going along with their bull$h! is a lot easier than dealing with the result of telling them vaffanculo. When I lived with them and they tried to send me to a conversion camp, that was difficult. But now that they're 40 minutes away, it's tolerable. On another note... sitting at a red light last night, I turned on the rear defrost. The lights dimmed a bit. Later on, I unlocked the doors for a friend. The lights dimmed a bit. My directional is blinking at a slower rate. We're talking alternator, right?
