Basic Skills for Living with Humans Required

I've neglected my blog for a few weeks now, and I'm feeling a little guilty. I've let my fans go far too long without an update on my life.

All kidding aside, I had an uneventful New Year's Eve. Dan and I went to see A Series of Unfortunate Events and then went to dinner. Neither of us even made it to midnight. Though I was up at 5:00 am that morning.

It's finally snowed in Victoria, and what a pain that is! People bitching and whining about 5 cm of snow like it's the worst thing to ever happen to them! I know I usually complain about the cold, but c'mon! I say to the citizens of Victoria, "Suck it up, Princess!"...And, "Learn how to freaking drive!"

Seriously! I was almost hit by an old woman the other day! And it hadn't even snowed by then! I was at the cross walk, and I pressed the button. The little man was there and everything. So what does this lady do as she approaches the intersection? She speeds up so that she can beat me to the corner and sneak past in front of me. Instead, I kept walking and waiting for her to stop. She finally did, but I was starting to arc around...She got awfully close. She got some good glares from me then!

I really can't believe the amount of idiotic drivers in Victoria! Where did these people learn to drive? Why haven't the police taken away more licenses? They keep changing all these laws for young drivers, but I see an awful lot of middle aged drivers and just plain old people that should seriously be re-evaluated!

If they can't see over the steering wheel, they shouldn't be behind it! Also, if you're already dealing with the distraction of other cars, icy streets, sleet, and kids in the back seat, GET OFF THE DAMN CELL PHONE!! I'm sure you're co-workers/loved ones/friends can wait to talk to you when you're in a stationary position.

Anyway, not a lot has happened other than stupid people, and I'd rather not discuss that at present. I want desperately to be happy with others, but the plain retardedness of some of the people I encounter from day to day ruin everybody for me.

Happy New Year and all that to everybody! I hope to see you all soon.
