[TomFest 576]

[kelly 0]

1. Do you have a driver's license? How old were you when you first got your license? Yes - 17.

2. Who taught you how to drive? Dad mostly. He yelled alot, once he pulled the emergency brake on me while I was driving, and he never taught me how to drive a stick (I figured that out myself!) I had driver's ed in school, too, which was scary because the teacher would always fall alsleep in the passenger's seat!

3. What was the model of the car you first drove on your own? I guess my parent's cars were the firsts - Mom's 1992 Chevy Cavalier was the one I took the test in, there was also my Dad's - I honestly don't remember the make/model, just that we called it "the sh!tmobile"

4. CDs: the best thing ever? Yes - but I only started to think that once computers had CDR/W drives. I was always the kid that scratched the hell out of my CDs. Now I love them because I can make a new one if I ruin a disc.

5. You've just won a thousand dollars! How would you spend it? Replace my broken Kindle (another casualty of my San Diego trip!), buy some new clothes for the colder weather, buy some new sheets and a new bedspread, buy a certain expensive piece of fabric that I want to make into a curtain for my bedroom window.
