Shut In

October 11, 2010 by krisis

The not having a driver’s license is starting to really weigh on me.

I realized this on Friday night in the basement of a bar, transfixed by the noise of  a crowd of friends and the beacon of the Phillies on the television. I heard Jem mention she’d be within a mile of our house the next day, and before I knew it my mouth opened.

“Ohmigod you should totally come over and see the house it’s not far from where you’re going please just stop by we have beer or could order pizza do you think we’ll see you?”

No driver’s license and no $12 cab rides home if I stay out in the city past midnight means even my very occasional social appearances have been greatly curtailed (which is to not even mention open mics, from which I have become extinct). I’m enough of an introvert to think I don’t miss it. But even introverts need people, and the twelvish people that had been to our house before Saturday isn’t quite enough.

As a result, I am expanding my public shame campaign beyond a coworkerly bet with Mel over my cube wall: I am getting my driver’s license. I will report back by next week with news of the physical I need to take in order to get my form filled out in order to take my permit test in order to re-learn how to drive.

If I don’t keep to my promise please unleash an internet’s worth of shame on me.

    I never got my license. My goal is to get it before I am 30. I am seriously running out of time!

      Ditto, and that clock is ticking loudly.

      Also, only being able to go to concerts that are out by 11:30 is going to get old really fast.

    I’m glad we got to see the house! It was the perfect excuse…but you should get the license anyway ;)

    Really? They require physicals for driver’s licenses? Admittedly, I’ve had my license since I was young … but have yet to take anything more than an eye exam.
