"I'm Hungry to Hear from You..."

Well! Guess who failed parallel parking but got passed by her driving instructor anyway? I really don't know why--I failed. I didn't manage it correctly once in one hour. On the other hand, while I was driving us back to the AAA building, I chatted him up about Hamlet, because he loves Kenneth Branaugh.

So yay. :D I can drive now.

Mum says I can go to see Susan [her friend with leukemia], because she said that now that she's well enough for visitors she'd probably be happy for people to visit. I am making notes of ridiculous work anecdotes that would make her laugh.

(On Wednesday when I was in with Violet, we were talking about lunch, and I remembered what Marie said about trying to like my food, and thinking of it as an exciting and special thing, and therefore this dialogue occurred:

Violet: What did you have for lunch?
Soujin: *trying to remember what Marie said!* A ham and turkey sandwich. I mean, I like them both, so I got a little of both, and it was a really beautiful sandwich--
Violet: *reproachful stare*
Soujin: ...because I like ham an awful lot...?
Violet: I'm a vegetarian.
Soujin: *facepalm*
Violet: Because the way they slaughter animals is horrible and cruel.
Soujin: *face. palm*
Violet: Do you butcher the pigs you use for that ham?
Soujin: ...No. Just the chickens.
Violet: ...

The best part is that after telling this anecdote at dinner, Daddy's comment was, "Well! You've sure accomplished a lot in a short period of time!" He needs the hearing aid. I think it's time for Mum to put her foot down.)

Lillie, one of my ladies (Jewishlady with scary!son, for what it's worth) is getting a puppy, and she wondered if you could make her a list of pretty gender-neutral Hebrew names for pets. She wants a list of pretty gender-neutral Shakespeare names from me. XD

Other dialogues from to-day include but are hardly limited to:

Mum: Soujin, conjugate 'amare'.
Soujin: *obeys*
Mum: Conjugate 'monere' in the perfect tense and include the imperative case.
Soujin: *likewise*
Mum: Porta. Manga porta. Decline with vocative.
Soujin: *o, the huge manatee*
Waen: HA HA! Las stupidas!
Soujin: &#@$-in' Spanish student. >_>

Phone: *RING!*
Soujin: Bonjour.
Phone: Hello, we would like you to take part in a poll regarding the upcoming PA general elections--
Soujin: Je ne comprends pas, je suis desole. *click*
Daddy: What was that?
Soujin: It was a phone poll, but unfortunately I don't speak English.
Daddy: What was it about?
Soujin: General elections.
Daddy: HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME? I WANTED TO TAKE PART IN ONE OF THOSE POLLS. I KEEP READING ABOUT THEM. I'VE BEEN DYING FOR ONE OF THOSE POLL PEOPLE TO CALL ME--
Soujin: O_O ;_________________;
Waen and Mum: XD XD XD
Daddy: ;_______________;
Soujin: I DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH!

Mum: You know, you really can't drive.
Soujin: Those people behind me are shouting at me! ;______;
Mum: It's because you're going the speed limit.
Soujin: ...What?
Mum: Nobody drives the speed limit on this road. I mean, God, you're only five miles above it. What the hell.
Soujin: akfjsldkj I AM DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT.
People in Car: *are totally giving me the finger*
Soujin: ;_________;
People: *start passing Soujin*
Soujin: ...Are there kids in that car? That looks like a kid in the back.
Mum: XD
People: *shouting while passing Soujin*
Person in Back: *leaning through window shouting*
Soujin: Oh, it's a grown-up. Never mind. WELL, YOUR MOM, LADY.
Mum: XD Oh, sweetie.

ETA: Oooh, look, I'm neurotic. XD I knew that! Actually, no, this is remarkably accurate. So are all the little thingies, but does anyone actually care about those? NO.
