Friending Meme

[kuda]

Saw this meme floating around my flist, but sort of avoided it. Then my sweetie,edenskye  , posted it. I caved and did it. I think I did it a while back, but not sure. So if you want to play leave me a comment. If you don't want to post it in your journal, it's okay. Not like I'm going to show up at your house with a gun or something.

Comment and I will:

1. Tell you why I friended you.
2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a color, a photo, a word etc.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
7. In return, you must post this in your Lj.

Just realised that I forgot to answer the question - can I still blame JamesFog????

Driving -
I learnt to drive when I was 19/20 .... in England we ususally learn at 17, but I lived in London and didn't see the point!
Mum took me out for my first ever drive, round local roads (!) ... then I had 2 driving instructors.
1) Collin - nice guy, taught me to drive ... I failed my test. Went to a re-take, and the day before he phoned up and cancelled ... so I met
2) Burt - older brusque guy ... and failed the 2nd test. I then had 4 lessons with Burt and he taught me roadmanship. 1 lesson was just spent going round a roundabout - a 7 exit one! - 3 of which were dual carriageways - and he had me going round till exit #20 etc ... I learnt a lot, fast!
I passed!!! I passed on Friday 13th May (which, as I type that I have just realised is DJ's birthday ... so thank you, for asking!) 1981, a month before I was 20.

Oh, I live in a JamesFog. LOL.

I was pushed to get my drivers license at 14. My mom didn't drive. My dad worked away from home so was only home two weekends a month. My brother left home when I was 13. So it fell to me to be the driver in the family. At that time in TX, you could take driver's ed at 14. I had a horrible teacher who was the football coach. He gave us the wrong answer for one question on our written so none of us got 100% on it. I got to drive one time through town. The only other practice we got was driving around the parking area of the football field. Was behind the wheel about 15 hours total before the test. I couldn't parallel park for anything so failed the test twice. We had a huge car to test in so that didn't help. My friend's dad was the other teacher. He helped me and let me use the smaller car from his class so I passed. I got my license a month before my fifteen birthday. I was way too young to be driving.

When my youngest son took driver's ed and got his beginner license, I made him drive everywhere we went. He passed the first time. His dad once told me that the son drove just like me. He didn't mean it like a compliment believe me. LOL.
