Topic: Exercise in egocentricity...

posted 10-16-2004 11:37:34 PM
Hello everyone! I don’t know what to say about myself, so I guess I will rant on and on about things that will probably be of no real interest, but perhaps someone will read it and say hello!


I’m Nike, after the Greek Goddess Nike, not the company. The statue Nike that is absolutely gorgeous inspired the name.


I am a 19-year-old University Biology student. I am a huge risk taker (apparently). Skydiving… crazy fast (but very safe) driving… rock climbing during high tide without any safety equipment… and eating fast food (hey… that’s a risk!)


My pet peeves are:


·People who do not like ketchup
·People who think they know about cars but really don’t appreciate good vehicle when they see it
·People who cannot drive
·Unnecessary cruelty
·Superficiality


Favourite things:


·Sound of onions in hot oil/ bacon frying in bacon fat
·Sound of a gorgeous car roaring down a street
·Sneezing
·Orgasms
·Love
·Driving… driving my beautiful car…


Well anyway, I really do not know what else to say. I’ve posted a few times, I don’t know if anyone has noticed (I know some have… I am sorry if I insulted anyone!).


If anyone wants to know anything else about me please PM me, or respond to my post.


Thanks!!!

You remind me of my friend, Sirius. He can tell what kind of make/model and engine is, what is wrong with the car, and a shitload of other things, just be hearing it drive past.

Therefore, you're cool.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but if you are only 19 you've only been driving for 3 years. How can you drive "crazy fast" and safe at the same time? Where do you drive "crazy fast?" What type of car do you drive anyhow?

I drive a Mercedes Benz... NOT a Chrysler.

I have been driving LEGALLY for 3 years...

Speed isnt unsafe, it is careless driving that hurts people. I do not speed all the time... wait... that's a lie... OK! I do not speed excessively all the time I am always careful because I love my car more than most people love themselves! I do not want anything to happen to it.

I am a manual driver... automatic is kinda boring and another pet peeve of mine is when sports cars come in automatic... *shudders*... blasphemy!

THANK YOU to everyone who is responding. I feel so special..

YAY!

And "crazy fast" isn't careless?

I'm sorry but if you've only been driving for three years you are NOT experienced enough to make the claim that you can drive "crazy fast" and still be safe.

Oh I don't mind it online, it's all fun.

Even though Parcelan doesn't get me, I have no 'beef' with him.

I mean in person... or when someone doesnt accept someone else just because they look different. I constantly joke... racist comments mostly because my group of friends we have one person from each part of the world... so we rip on eachother, so mean comments like that dont bug me.

When someone intentially hurts someone else at a time when they cannot defend thmeselves... bah... it bothers me.

Superficiality... I worked at a store in the mall here and UGH... it was awful.. the girls there were so irritating. "Oh no I couldn't go out with him he has a small pouch... instead I am going out with a guy who doesn't give a rat's ass about me because when we go out all the girls tell me he's SEXY... he doesn't really talk to me and he's cheating on me... but he's HOT"

From drivers.com:
Ask British motorists how good their driving is and they're likely to tell you they're either good or very good. Ask them about the standards of the other drivers on the roads and the results are very different.

That's the picture that emerges from the most recent Royal Automobile Club (RAC) Report on Motoring in which a survey shows 78 per cent of motorists rate their own driving highly whilst few think others are very good behind the wheel.

It's also an attitude, one suspects, which might equally well apply among motorists in any of the industrialized countries.


There was a similar study done in the US, but I can't find it at the moment. The bottom line: most people consider themselves much better drivers than other people. The problem: it can't statistically be true.

Don't delude yourself. Unless you have extensive training and track time, you're not as good a driver as you think you are. . .and even if you were, driving "crazy fast" is still stupid, because real-world conditions and other drivers add danger that no amount of skill on your part--real or imagined--can cope with.

Hint: now that you've proven your girl-wang is at least as big as Delphi's, it's probably best to let this subject drop rather than beginning a flame-fest you're not likely to win.

You and Ares need to trade names.
Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

Thank you Burger. Although you infuriate me at times... it turns me on... *purrs*


As for you others...

I am not the only person who knows I am a good driver.

In fact, I have never gotten a complaint from anyone. Except the people on the road who are put to shame by my abilities.

I do feel sorry for you other driving-challenged individuals. There is a difference between someone knowing they are a good driver and someone thinking they are.

I expect you (you = people who challenge my obvious skill behind the wheel) are jealous.

Anyone who knows the limitations of their vehicle and safely challenges those limits is a good driver.

You excuse for men who cannot drive just feel threatened by a female driver.

On that note: grow some balls
