I failed my driving test this morning. It was my first one, so I kind of expected to fail, just because of the sheer nerves. Anyway it seems I was going pretty well. I had a few minor faults - you're allowed 8 I think, and then I just read a road marking wrong at a junction I was unfamiliar with, which led to me technically being on the wrong side of the road (I wasn't actually on the wrong side of the road) and so led to an automatic fail. so poo! It was stupid and it was my fault and he absolutely had to fail me for it, but poo all the same.
I also went to see Jane Eyre at the weekend. It's a book I really love, which obviously makes me dubious about adaptations, but you know Michael Fassbender is in it, so like I might as well. And you know its not bad, but some day someone will make this story about ugly people with actual ugly people. They could have at least removed the lines where the quite extraordinarily handsome Mr Fassbender says (to the girl who's not ever even heard of the ugly stick) "you've as little to do with beauty as I have to do with handsomeness". Oh come on! There's lots of ugly people in the world... by the law of averages some of them must be decent actors... jaysus it can't be that bloody hard! Or can we just not have a story about ugly people who fall in love.
I still cried at all the romantic bits!

Sorry to hear about the driving test... if it makes you feel any better, even after 11 years since I got my drivers license, I actually drove on the wrong side of the road one early Sunday morning when the roads were empty. In my defence, I was totally new to the area and also there was a cute guy sitting next to me. Should have asked him to drive instead :(
Well, make sure you go back and try again, Dr Aunty. I failed my drivers test the first time too. . . oh, and the 2nd. . . . All that bloody parallel parking. Now, of course, I'm an excellent driver and can parallel park even cars I'm not familiar with.
I'm with you on the ugly actors thing- if the story requires it then you have to be true to the storyline! Sheez
not too gutted girls... just have to do it again :(
You should come here to South Florida. Miami drivers were recently rated the worst drivers in the entire USA. A great honor. It sometimes gets disconcerting when someone passes you at 100 MPH. On a side street. Good luck on your next test. Just keep practiceing.
