but really it's like this

you don't even know how to drive. i mean, you sort of do, like if your friends were all bleeding and convulsing in the backseat you'd probably be able to get them to the hospital okay, well maybe, but you've only had six driving lessons and you've failed your roadtest twice. you have to renew your learner's permit, because every time you go to a bar the bartender is like hey you should really renew this learner's permit. so do you go renew the learner's permit, even though it'll cost like $40 and you'll have to wait in lines all day? you know you're not going to learn to drive soon, cos nobody has the time or the courage to teach you, so really, what's the point? i mean it's not like bartenders won't serve you. they just scold you a little bit. then again, it's good to have legal ID, i guess, and who knows when somebody will offer to let you drive their car? so do you go to the dmv this week, or wait until you're back from germany? wait, doesn't a passport count as legal ID? hmm, who else do you know with a car? will adam ever let you drive his volvo? is this an extended metaphor, or have i just had too much coffee?
