Writer's Block: Outta My Way!

This is a daily battle for me. My husband and I commute 30 minutes every day to work. Depending on the volume of traffic it can be a 20 min to 1 1/2 hour drive. We leave at 6 in the morning and drive home in 5 o'clock rush hour traffic. My pet peeve is when a person speeds up behind me and flashes their bright headlights for me to move over. First of all, I can only go as fast as the car in front of me. When traffic is bumper to bumper it's hard to change lanes quickly. I mean, this is rush hour traffic. Where are you going? Second of all, it's usually dark or dawn when they do this. I don't need extra bright lights blinding me from behind. It's going to cause a wreck. If it's an emergency, use your flashers and I will gladly get out of your way; that's what they are for. I understand being in a hurry but don't put other people in danger. It's not that important.

Writer's Block: Love This Artist
Feb. 3rd, 2008 | 08:03 pm
My favorite artist right now is Nightwish. My first favorite band was Iron Maiden. I was 14 when my dad bought me my 1st CD. I drove my mother nuts between Metallica and Iron Maiden, my dad couldn't have been happier. I grew up listening to country and classical because that's what my mother liked. Still have a sweet spot for classical, but left the country behind. I've been listening to Nightwish pretty exclusively lately. Their newest CD Dark Passion Play is a departure from there previous sound but is well worth the listen.
