"When the streets are running with water, it is not the time to speed."
I've noticed that people in BC (maybe other places too) forget how to drive as soon as it starts to rain or snow or anything. Maybe it's the spring hormones or the promise of summer, but people begin to race around like they are the only drivers on the road. It's silly that even though we BC-ers put up with some of the worst slush and rainy seasons, people who have been driving for 20 or more years don't understand how to brake in wet weather. I get that driving when it's dark, wet and slick out is challenging, still, I saw almost 10 cars slide off the road because they slammed on there brakes or the gas and went fish-tailing. I find it hilarious to watch, but scary to drive around in.
I saw not one or two but three nice cars in the ditch or wrapped around a tree or rear-ended because apparently, every one turns into a new driver when spring hits. It's like hormones take over and men suddenly are out to prove they are manly, despite the slippery and busy roads. When the streets are running with water, it is not the time to speed. Also, in this weather where it snows in the morning, then turns to sunshine and rain, the streets are going to be even worse. People start speeding to get home and enjoy the weather, young drivers are quick to show off there new cars and every guy with a convertible wants to cruise around with the top down (I have yet to figure out why convertibles are so popular).
Also, why are people so utterly bad at driving in the snow? This is Canada, snow is here almost every year, shouldn't driving in snow be some what of a talent for BC drivers? Watching people try to drive up or down hill in the snow is one of my favorite forms of winter entertainment. I've seen people slide with there brakes on the entire way down a hill; I've also watched people try to back up a snowy hill after failing to drive up normally.
I've seen it all, it's almost worthy of a youtube video. I just don't understand how someone could be so bad at winter driving.
Even in summer weather people seem to forget how to drive, every stop sign or red light becomes optional. I'm not saying that all my friends are religious of speed limits or stop signs or even of general rules (such as driving around with 6 people in the back of there pick up truck.) It's just when older people who I assume have had there licenses for years and who have been driving for a long time begin to drive around like stupid kids that it gets risky. One or two dumb kids driving a little illegally late at night is to be expected when summer hits, but ever adult driving like that during rush hour gets a little scary.
Anyways, I'm sure everyone has seen the crappy driving in all types of weather.

So, I don't know if this is just me, but I hate people who feel the need to correct you all the damn time. Take this for example, on facebook they have that "virus" thing going around, right?
Well, my friend made a blog and it basically tells you what it is, it's just a scam to get your log in information, so people can go on your account and all that crap. So, to everyday people the best thing to say is, it's a virus, don't touch! Or so I thought. After I read his blog that he tagged me in, I went to my page and went to delete the stupid comments with the bad link. I had put my status yesterday as "Noooo, fb has a virus?!" and I had told one of my friends who commented on it that yeah, it was those comments to watch the "funny vid" or what ever. I saw that this guy had gone and put this huge long comment correcting me saying;
"Definitely not a virus. Just a poor attempt to reap account information using flimsey trickery against the unaware facebook users. Clicking the link gives them access to your friends-lists, and they proceed to spread they're password-stealing-facebook-imitation-page around. Just continue to tell everyone about what it is, and what can be done to prevent further spreading. Changing of passwords if you fell for it. And tell people what it is. Awareness stops this trick in it's path."
Personally, all I could think was, 'Do we seriously need to be told not to click it?' Just because we assumed that it was a virus doesn't mean we're going to click it. Or that we're stupid, lots of people think/thought it is/was a virus. So either way, virus or people trying to get account info, nobody with half a brain is going to click it.
So, besides feeling like I was having my intelligence attacked, I was thinking "WTF" because I never talk to this guy, the only reason he's my friend on fb is because he went out with my friend a while back.
Then, I saw he left another comment, on a completely different status where we weren't even talking about the fb thing, he said:
"Don't click the link. Btw. If you don't want your account information fed to some random asshole, that is."
I know that he's probably trying to warn other people and such, but if I have any friends stupid or gullible enough to click that link, I say they deserve to have there log in info taken from them. They don't belong on the internet.
*sigh* it just bothered me that he made a note and then commented twice on my page to correct me about what it was. I seriously just want to tell him to stfu and leave me alone. >_>
~ Sometimes I wish that I could slow down time, make these months last a little bit longer. I have so many things I want to do.
~ I miss you so much, every day. I feel badly because I always want to see you and I know that your busy and I don't want to make you feel like you have to spend time with me.
~ Why the fuck are you back where I didn't want you?! How do you get there!? I told myself that I wouldn't let you do this again, but there you are, and now it seems like i can get away from you. Good lord, I need to get a wall put up so you can't get in.
~ Spiders need move on out of my house! Your creepy and crawly and I can't be held responsible for anything I do to you.
~ I hate feeling not good enough because I know that you tell me that I am all the time. But I look in the mirror and I see you in my head and I just know that I'm not good enough.
There is this small voice that tels me that I am, but I'm not ready to listen to it.
~ I wish that I had the power to take away other peoples pain. I really do.
This stupid page has been popping up so often on my internet, that it's on my "most visited" new tabs page. *sigh*
Okay so some program called "Total Security" is fucking up my computer. I have no idea how it got on my computer, I didn't install it and I haven't been downloading anything from websites. I looked up total security on google and apparently its a well known fake security virus. It keeps popping up saying that its found 41 viruses on my computer and won't let me open Internet pages sometimes. I've tried deleting it and that didn't work. A few sites said that Spyware Doctor will get rid of total security, but I have to buy it and it's not only about 30$ but I don't want to download some random anti-virus thing just to rid of one thing.
I've gone on to my computer in this one mode and it let me permanently delete faulty files. But I don't know how to do it again (I had a step by step how to thing from my old spyware) So I'm wondering if someone knows how to do that, or if there is another way to get rid of this stupid thing.
I NEED HELP!
Please help, I'm a total failure when it comes to computers and I have no money to get it fixed by a pro. But if someone helps me I can hook them up with some cookies or black berry muffins.
So first you were scared, now I'm scared.
Because, when I say I want you to stay, I mean forever. I don't think I'll ever want you to go away. When your around, I don't have to worry about you because I can reach out and touch you but when your gone it's all I think about.
