Okay. If you haven't already read my lovely fiancee's journal, then you may or may not know that, after almost 27 years, I finally got my Learner's Permit. Yep, that's right, me behind the wheel. Fear.

I've been perfectly content to use public transportation until this time, what with being from New York City and all. I'm used to the trains and the buses, so not having a car wasn't a massive inconvenience for me. Yeah, there were times when it would've been really handy, but I've done without for this long, right?

Right.

Now, I can't go driving yet by myself - I still need a chaperone to make sure I don't go plummetting off the edge of a bridge or anything to that effect. However, it's just a matter of time until I _can_ drive all by my lonesome. Which'll be nice, now that I think about it... probably still faster to take the train to work if I need to, since I won't need to deal with the traffic on the 101 in the mornings, but it makes lugging groceries back to the house much easier.
