aha shake heartbreak...part uno

I'm sitting in a hell of my own creation and my bb is working at a snails pace. Location: penndot on duncan rd, equivalent to most of America's BMV/DMV's. Except, like most places in Penn, this place is like a bmv on crack. I've lost my amazing Indiana license somewhere between uHaul & ikea. Sweet. I, for one, believe that the uHaul guy never gave it back to me and instead pocketed it for his underage girlfriend (I mean, let's be honest, my photo was gorgeous). This wouldn't be a problem if I wasn't scheduled to fly to Indy tomorrow...and this may surprise you, but I'm not really keen on the thought of going through a 4 hour, homeland security, possible cavity search & God knows what in order to fly commercial anywhere. At any rate, I'm here now & waiting. With no iPod (I'm going back to the vintage model once/if I get back to Indy tomorrow, as my newest one was a causality of break-up, get-down week. If you want more on that pencil me in for cocktails). I'm #54 in line, which happens to be willies lucky #, so I'm hoping that's a good omen. Since nothing here can be anywhere near normal, let's sit down & note a few eye spys:
-there are 2 adorable, maniac little boys sitting in front of me. It was suggested via bbm-ing I punch one of them to ease tension. They are far too adorable (& wild) to punch, plus I could be a bit jealous the lil blue eyes named clarke, approximately 4 years old, has a batman pezz dispenser & I've got nada.
-from behind the blue photo curtain alls I can hear is "TILT YA GLASSES." Repeatedly. The lady who was getting her photo taken has reappeared and is giving a second hand account of how her glasses were causing a glare, keeping from a proper photo being taken. We got it, thanks.
-a tiny man in a wheel chair keeps speeding from one flap door to the other. He is the man of penndot. I'm giving him that title. He also has really rad hair and a sassy attitude. I hope he's the one who takes my photo.

We're on #43.

-a girl is sitting one chair away from me with the kind of crunchy curls that glisten. Not because the hair is shiny, but because the curls are molded with gel. I wonder if her hair will cause reflections in her photo? Stay tuned.
- I would like to take time to give a shout out to my outfit: a mara hoffman rope & button printed cream top, new black anlo skinnies. My face is sun kissed & I actually used mascara today (might help with batting my lashes to help my I.D. Cause) finally my lovely hair - unwashed in 3 days (the best hair day of the week!) And loose waves tamed from frizz by amazing morrocan oil. Pulled off my face by 2 twists. I figured they would want me to be as close to normal as possible :). Back to the good stuff...
-I can smell a guys orange gatorade from 2 rows back and this time I do actually want to punch him and take it.
-a couple sits directly next to me. Public manners rule #1: don't sit directly next to a stranger when there are plenty of other seats available. To top it off, the lady next to me is one who makes me lean to the left to avoid physical contact with her. I wonder if I can send her my next chiropractic bill for this imposition?
-the orange gatorade guy just got the news from the drivers test giver:"your brother didn't fail, but I'm rejecting your car. The right tail light is out. You'll have to re-schedule." What?! I bet that guy just jizzed his pants by being able to reject someone. You can tell by the smile on his face. He waits for days like this. I knew I should've stole the gatorade...he's free now to go get more.
-the dad of the cute, maniac kids just came back in (he's waiting of the baby momma) with a video camera. What in the f can he possibly be video taping in the parking lot of a penndot?! Were not talking flip video here people. Disturbing.
-Update on the close sitting neighbour couple: they are discussing their retirement plans in Florida. They are going to have a lincoln town car or an audi. And a "pimped-out honda in the garage." Do they think retired people drive pimped-out hondas? I forgot to mention they are upgrading from their junior drivers licenses. Who says there's such thing as premature planning?

Were on #50 so I need to get in the game & focus...ill follow-up with the outcome of another great pgh adventure.
