What Do You Want...

i just want to crush my enemies, see them driven before me and to hear the lamentation of their women. i mean, who doesn't want that right?
 
Why, though? Millions of people drive. Most of them don't kill people. Why do you think you would do so?


Millions of people drive, yes and half of them seem to be rude, suicidal madmen.

I would hurt somebody or myself, because I don´t trust myself to have controll over the car (if a situation comes up I either react wrong or freeze) and I certainly don´t have controll over what the other people do with their cars.

What do I want? A health insurance policy from a company that won't screw me over the first chance it gets. That's what I want.

I dislike driving but I can do it if necessary. Luckily it's less necessary since moving to the city. I think when it comes to driving you have to have a healthy mix. Yes, you need to be aware that you're driving around a huge machine on a road with lots of other people driving huge machines. You can't get complacent and start doing other things in the car or paying less attention to the road. You also need to be constantly aware of what other drivers are doing.

At the same time, it's important to be confident when driving and make quick decisions. Hesitating can cause accidents quite easily. You do need to trust yourself, but you should also realize that that trust can be built up by practicing and being careful.

*shakeshead* No. No it can´t. I tried practicing and it didn´t work out.
I do have a driving lisence, but its rubbish really, because I would be a danger for everyone in the traffic. I am even a danger in the traffic, when not driving and just sitting in a car that a friends driving, because I startle them all the time with my reactions of fear when for example a truck drives by on the other lane (which gets me either "scolded" or banned to the back seats, which is even more terrible, because you cannot overlook the streets from there well enough, so it is threatening).

Car driving would make some things easier as you are not dependant on puplic transportation or friends, you cannot get wet when its raining, you can reach nice places in the country side, you can find a job easier as well (as many jobs require a driving lisence)...thats why it would be nice to be able to drive a car, however think I have given up on that. Fear can be an enemy, that is not to overcome sometimes..and maybe in this case its for the better, cause I really don´t want to kill or harm someone and I would like to live some more time as well.

I want to know what I want. I'm not sure at all anymore that I know. But I can live without that knowledge for a while, I think.
 
This question reminds me of the Shadows and makes me weary to answer it as Jetfire could be Mr. Morden in disguise lol....but here are the three things I want most.

1. My writing career to take off
2. A Girlfriend for companionship and everything else that goes with being in a relationship with someone you care about and that cares about you

3. My pelvis and back to be realigned.
 
But is seems too far out of reach?

1. Financial Security(I am currently unemployed, for a year now and can't seem to get anyone to hire me. :( )

2. A Home Of My Own. (I currently live with family in our grandparents house that is falling apart and there is no money to fix it...to be honest it is a nightmare...I would love to buy some land near by and build a modest house that I have found plans for...but I will keep dreaming.)

3. Get Married And Have Children. (Many things would have to change financially and physically for this to happen. :sigh: )

That is pretty much it at the moment. :shrug:

I'm thinking we have the same list. :lol:

Its sad really cause all this had came with ease to like everyone I know. :(

^ This, only without the kids part.
