OK been lazy in not writing a Journal on thanksgiving day lol
So it was good. Much of the same. Just me and my mom and we went to an all you can eat thanksgiving day lunch/dinner at a place called Mighty Nice Grill. It was great food like always and then we went out to see Four Christmases. It was ok. About as good as most Holiday comedies. I still wish i could have a real, big family thanksgiving. I know i am not the ONLY person who doesn't get them. But enough of my friends ahve them that i see the pictures and hear the stories and i get a little sad and want one.

Last night i had a bit of a ... well FREAK OUT frown.

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

Neither me or my mom own a car. But from time to time we rent one and i drive us somewhere (she doesn't have a drivers license). Well last yesterday my mom went to one of her all day Scrap booking events out in the burbs (she takes public transit in the morning which usually has stopped for the day by the time she is done) So she rented a car for a few hours last night so i could drive out and pick her up and bring her and her stuff home.
Well first off. Some people find driving to be very relaxing and comforting. I on the other hand find it a bit stressful and anything but relaxing. Well i was already tired and not feeling my best yesterday night. So i ended up missing my turn on the highway and i called my mom for a bit of help. Well she got me lost... and then tried to help more.. and got me MORE lost... and then once again got me even more lost. At this point i was scared i had no clue where i was and i didn't know what to do... and i fucking FREAKED OUT.
I was in SOME suburban neighborhood and had NO clue where i was and not only didn't know how to get to my MOM but not even how to get home at this point. So i pull to the side of the road and just freak out. I am histarical i am crying and couldn't calm down. My mom was on the phone trying to tell me its ok and i can do it and it just kept making me worse. i had to shut my phone off and just sit there crying and rocking back and forth. I finally got myself to get driving again by litteraly getting mad at myself and yelling at myself. I turned my phone back on and talked to my mom. She called my best friend Manni (who she is close to) and he was going to get her. I eventualy found Clark Street which runs right by home. So with Manni going to get my mom i just booked it down Clark. Dropped off the car and went home and finished freaking out and crying frown


So with this... i have decided. I will NEVER drive a car ever again. FUCK IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Ouch. I get pretty freaked out about going to places I haven't been before, too. blackeyed

I second that GPS suggestion. Google maps helped my out in the past.

well it sounds like you had a nice little thanksgiving, big dinners are nice, but can also be a big pain in the butt.

Well I have to say I have had times like that, but the more you drive the better it gets, it's just a matter of getting use to being behind the wheal of a car and now I have a tom tom and I never get lost.
