I have ten minutes before I have to leave for work.
It's kind of an annoying drive. Highland Village road seems to last for thirty minutes by itself, then add 407 traffic, espeically now that there is construction, and its 20 minutes of my life that I dont really enjoy.
I try to make it fun for myself. I bought a pair of those big, fashionable sunglasses that everyone else wears to try to make myself feel cool. But mostly I just feel dumb. They are a strange combination of way too big for my face and not big enough to go above my eyebrows. Not that they should go above my eyebrows, but the fact that they stop just below them makes me feel like a wolf man everytime I see myself in the rear view mirror.
Anyway, so I bought some sunglasses and I usually roll my driver's side window down. I think the wind makes me feel less confined in my tiny little pontiac. But every time I glance down I see how fiercly the hair on my left arm is blowing and I have to face, once again, the wolf man feeling. Everyone has arm hair. It's just kinda weird.
I also like to make really killer CDs of random songs to help the drive. It helps more than the sunglasses and wind, but still makes me feel stupid when I catch myself singing too loudly, or worse, when I notice someone else catching me singing too loudly. Although nothing compares to the embarassment you feel when someone sees you nodding your head or bouncing your shoulders to the beat. I mean maybe other people dont find seeing someone dancing in their car as hilarious as I do. Maybe they dont judge me the way I would judge them. But if they do, thats super embarassing.
Anyway, the whole point of this rather pointless entry is just to feel sorry for myself that I have to make this drive so often. And that I have to in the next 2 minutes. Because despite my best efforts, its just a stupid, long, hairy drive. And I dont like it.
