One of my headlights is out AGAIN. I just had it replaced a few months ago. I do not understand. Since it was St. Patrick's Day, we went downtown and I ended up deciding not to drink, since I was driving - though really, I didn't want to spend money on overpriced beer. I have really learned I am so not cut out for any normal social event. Seriously. The awkward, it's painful.
And then while driving drunk people home, I got pulled over. D: My life flashed before my eyes. And it was a nice lady who told me my headlight was out. She asked for my license and then immediately went "KIMBERLY, HOW MUCH HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKING?" And I was just like "D< WTF LADY I HAVEN'T BEEN DRINKING." Well, I spluttered like nobody's business. And then my drunk people started profusely slobbering out "SHE HASN'T BEEN DRINKING, SHE'S OUR DD. D<." So she let me go. Without even a fix it ticket, which was great, and she warned me to be careful, since there were going to be a lot of drunk people on the streets.
And then I turned the corner and get three blocks and I GET PULLED OVER AGAIN. For the same headlight. This time it was a nice guy cop, and I'd already had my registration and insurance and license out from the first time. And then my drunk people again started 'SHE HASN'T BEEN DRINKING!!1!" And he's all, "Ah, you're the DD, atta girl, I wish more people were like you" and then my drunk people were all "WE LOVE YOUUUU MISTER OFFICERRR" and he laughed and told me to be careful and to fix my headlight. And then walked away and they were still all "WE LOVE YOUUU" so he shouted back "I LOVE YOU TOO." It was great. No tickets! But, I imagine on St. Patrick's Day cops have better things to be doing than giving tickets to people with broken headlights, especially if those people are not drunk and carting around drunken people safely.
And that was my first legal St. Patrick's Day. I did an Irish carbomb later, and was not impressed. I stopped later and bought some wine for myself. This being 21 thing and buying alcohol legally without having to skulk outside of Wal-mart waiting for someone else to buy it for you never gets old.
