i don't drive. i think that means i'm a doormat. :P just kidding. i don't drive because...1) it terrifies me, 2) i think it's silly to pollute the air when i can get around semi-fine on my own (okay, so the bus takes 30 minutes extra, but i survive) 3) i really am not in a financial position to go buying a car. i make just enough money to pay my bills and live comfortably, and as a university student at the moment (and with a dominant who lives close by - as in 5-10 minutes - and drives, and so that takes care of our traveling back and forth to each other) i really don't feel the need to learn to drive. most people think i'm just crazy. which really isn't all that different from me and d/s. most people i know who know about my relationship think i'm crazy, either because i'm a submissive or because i'm in an age gap or because i'm poly or all of the above :P but seriously...i think it shows that i just...tend to prioritize differently than many people. in some ways, like the fact that i only own a small tv that was given to me as a gift and i only use cable cause it's included in my rent, i think it reflects on my ability to put money where i feel it is important...and i think a car is an unneeded expense for someone single and my age unless the public transportation system is completely shot, or nonexistent. which really shows one of the ways in which He and i are alike...although He does drive, etc. (He's had various jobs and living situations over the years that required at least one vehicle), He prioritizes things differently than many others as well when it comes to money, etc. in terms of how i react to traffic, it DEFINITELY relates a lot to how i react to people as a submissive. He has a tendency to get upset and snappish about things - for hours. i have learned to let it roll off my back and not let it make me feel terrible about myself as it used to. i'm similar when it comes to the whole issue of transportation...i really don't care to rush or be impulsive or get mad at people who are driving, etc. because i tend to have an easygoing mentality where that's concerned. besides, my bussing time is very important to me. i get to do crossword puzzles and read and actually think, which i don't get much time to do during the rest of the day, hehehehe.
