athenaltena | Attack of the neutral colors... agh!

I realized yesterday looking through my closet and realized that I have quite a few neutral colors (with the exception of a few blues) and not many things that could be worn comfortably in warm weather. So when we were out I stopped by TJ Maxx with my mother and got a few things, including basically a short-sleeved version of my favorite shirt. Yeah, I'm predictable but at least I know what I like.

And lately I've been getting practice for my license test on my mom's new car as of two weeks ago. I haven't killed anyone yet! *joke* I think I'm getting the hang of if though, since I finally seem to remember which way to turn the car in reverse. *It's counter-intuitive!* And I finally made it up and down the S-curves (a series of about 13 curves on the main road up from Amherst) though I was repeating the "Litany Against Fear" from Dune while I was doing it. It seemed appropriate.

And I think I'm getting a sense of how different cars "feel" and what their personalities are. I like the Prizm I drove in my lessons a bit more than the Prius in terms of how it steered, and the Prius' steering is a tad sensitive for my tastes. I'd also like to try out a Honda to see how it feels in comparison, since I've basically narrowed what I'd like down to a Toyota, Chevy Prizm or a Honda. I think it'll be easier to decide once I get a better sense of the three through comparison.

And I'm trying out this ~~gimmick~~ promotion for the "sponsored plus" account that puts ads on your journal in exchange for some paid account options. It hasn't gotten on my nerves yet so I'll keep trying it out.
