Oh Lordy...

Hey lovely people,
Hope your week is shaping up rather nicely. Mine has been... Frightening. All because I am learning to ride this infernal scooter! Went for a ride on my own this morning, all went well to the in-laws. But, on leaving I had issues getting out of the driveway. 'Tis very steep and there's a huge bump at the top! Almost veered into the oncoming lane and got taken out by a car. Fucking hell. All I can say is, to the guy I nearly t-boned, THANK GOD YOUR REFLEXES ARE AWESOME! I feel so bad for everyone on the road around me! And to make matters more scary, I have to drive across town to get to work tomorrow morning!
If you happen to be driving to Tawa tomorrow and see a scooter with shit trailing behind it, that's me. Please be gentle with me!
I really hope I get better at this whole driving thing pretty quickly. Steering I'm fine with, it's just the whole roundabout thingy really...
Apart from said incident, it has been pretty fun so far! My partner is loving it too!

Ugh. So onto other things that aren't vehicle related... I hear that Tool and Rammstein will be headlining the Big Day Out next year. That will be epic! Not a Tool fan, but do love Rammstein!

I've been pondering. Musing, if you will. About what, you ask? Well, weird people. Crazy people. And just plain odd people.
What is it that happens in a persons life that makes them turn weird? Is it upbringing or environmental factors? Or possibly a mixture of both? In my life I have known more than my share of crazy/weird/odd people and it's just not fun. It's fine up until the point where you actually realize that they are strange. And not in a "Wow, that's interesting" way, more like a "Wow, you should be institutionalized" way.
You've got a few different types of weird, in my opinion.

The first would be: The ones that enjoy pain. Pain as in tattoos and piercings. This weird I can relate to 'cos I am this kind of weird. Bring on those weirdos!

The second: The people you meet once through other people and they want to be your best friend all while knowing fuck all about you. Not so keen on this weird.

The third: The ones that once you are friendly with them, copy every single fucking thing that you do. Sure, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but don't you have to draw a line somewhere? Hate this weird.
Imitation pisses the hell out of me! What happened to originality?!

The fourth: And these are the ones to stay the hell away from... Attention seeking crazy people that are incredibly needy. You know the kind I'm talking about! The ones that you can quite openly tell to fuck off but they still come back for more. This weird I don't understand, I would really like to do a psychology paper just to TRY to understand! It's like when you tell a puppy to fuck off (not that you would) and it just looks at you and doesn't move. Or jumps on your lap. It baffles me. It really does. I think I could understand the workings of the universe better than these oddballs.
Now obviously my list goes from interesting weird down to institutionalized weird.

I can hear what you're thinking... "Why the fuck is she ranting about crazy people?!" Well, in answer to that... I'm not quite sure.

I think I'm going to love you and leave you there, it's very late and I have to go back to work tomorrow :(
But, as always, if you have any comments or feedback on whatever I'm rambling about I'd love to hear them!

Catch you beautiful people later! :D

P.S: Fingers crossed for Alex!
