franceslievensReply to this meme by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you.
Driving: I'm not a car lover, but I love to drive, whether it's with the big station wagon I learned to drive in, the little Peugeot I drove around Brussels the last couple of years, or the Berlingo we traded it in for. I love to cruise and I love the fact my car takes me where I want to be without delay. The train or bus is always slower. But like most things, I was scared of driving at first. I drove into a fence on my second lesson.
What I don't like about my car is the environmental issue. I specifically live in the city so I can get almost everywhere with public transport, and I don't depend on my car. I can use it when I need it for visits outside the city or trips to the supermarket when I need more than just groceries, but I don't miss it when it breaks down.
Sleep is something I don't get enough of these days. Little Bit sleeps through the nights, but likes to wake up ad yammer because she can't fall asleep again on her own. And of course I like to sleep late, and Little Bit likes to rise early, smiling and making googly eyes at my tired face. I really should try those early nights.
Change: I'm scared by it, and want it all the time. My personality is formed by being torn between wanting something different and not daring to do it. "Go for it and see what happens," will never work for me. I debate my decisions constantly. Which I shouldn't do.
Bosses: I've got a couple of them, and they all have their strangeness. On one hand I don't have a real boss, but maybe that's good. I don't like bosses. I'm too much of a know-it-all to listen to them, but on the other hand I'm too scared to tell them what I think, so bosses make me very frustrated in the end.
Family is the most important thing in my life. Whatever changes, whomever will leave, my family will stay. Therefore some of my online friends have almost become my little faraway family.

Lots of interesting insights. You drove into a fence?
My first driving lesson was a nightmare, too - my instructor had to brake for me because I was so overwhelmed with the steering wheel. But now I love driving!

Date: 2009-05-26 09:43 am (UTC)Eeek, I'm glad that when I learned to drive the learners weren't allowed to drive the family car - only a proper driving school one with two sets of pedals. I wouldn't have survived if my stepmom had tried to teach me how to drive... It was bad enough once I had my licence.

Date: 2009-05-26 03:10 pm (UTC)My dad tried to teach Big Sis how to drive. It turned out being a fiasco, so they asked my aunt, who had proper training as a teacher, and hence knew how to explain the workings of the car, which my dad couldn't. My first couple of lessons took place on an abandoned parking lot, but still there was a fence. And I only drove on Sunday mornings at first, because then the traffic's really slow.
