I think that deserves to go down in Driving history. How many people do you know that have gone through a drive-throu backwards in a car with a big butt? Or backwards through a drive-throu period? That really lifted my spirits.

All I have to do is the seven value projects and then I get my medallian for completeing the program, yay.

So, after mutual we went to Bashas' because Tiff had some unfinished bussiness, which required getting cookie dough and taking it to a guy's house for Heritage's winter formal. Alison stated she wanted a cheese burger and since there was a McDonalds on the same corner we went there . . . and I had this odd and wonderful notion of going backwards through it. Hey, /I/ didn't want to order! So, they ordered, it took me about ten minutes to get around the curve and then there was no one at the pay window (and some guy was pointing at us, talking to the guy who had the burger). So we continued backwards and got our burger. Tiff declaired that I was dislexic (thus why I went through backwards). The guy was smiling and shaking his head and I was bent over the steeringwheel laughing my head off as Alison was hiding her head in her hands and shaking it in embarrasment and humiliation as she muttered "it wasn't worth it" over and over again.

After that I declared that it would have been better to day "She's really shy and didn't want to order." *Cackles hysterically.* So, yes. Guy's house. He wasn't home. He was at work. He works at Jack-in-the-Box, so we went there.

When we got there I considered going through the drive-throu backwards again, but decided I didn't want to hassle with the curve again (as I stated before, my car has a big butt). So I took up three parking spaces. I was the first through the door shouting "HELLO EVERYBODY!" Which immediately drew all attention to us as we marched to the counter. Tiff asked him. Alison informed him of what was going on, and I proclaimed that I wasn't going to be in the group, but I was just their transportation here.

So, I shouted good-bye and we rushed to the car, Tiff and I dropped the tailgate and Tiff collapsed upon it, proclaiming how painful that was and she was somewhat embarrased. I plopped on the tailgate next to her and then some guys on a '70 El Camino came up a'rumbling and peeled out as they entered the drive through (after I shouted "EL CAMINO!") and then, quickly, we put up the tailgate, jumped in the car, and I peeled out . . . once towards this building, being as it was on the way out, tiff nearly had a heart attack, and secondly as we were exiting (I think I heard a few woots of encouragement from the guys in the other camino).

So, after that I felt oddly at peace with myself (and still do) so I actually drove peacefully home not caring about the other cars around me (does that mean anyone passed me? no, I just wasn't aggressive in my driving . . .) and just driving home. Yay. I feel as if I no longer need to prove my car "got's muscle." Of course that doesn't mean that won't wear off in time.

German Club meeting. LazerQuest against the French in Feburary, we shall be victorious, like last year, when we slaughtered them.

Not much else. I'm going to finish the last two problems in math now.
