Jan. 13th, 2013 08:49 amToday, I am going car shopping. Dad and I have been meaning to go car shopping for...well, for about a year now, and have never gotten around to it. But we are going today.
I am ridiculously anxious about it. Not about actually buying a car - that's okay, and Dad will be there, and I am totally fine with him being in charge of the negotiation process because he actually knows what he's doing and is able to talk to other people. No, I am ridiculously anxious about the test drive. I am not a terribly confident driver to begin with and I hate people watching me do things that I don't feel sure about, especially people I don't know. And today I will driving a car I'm unfamiliar with in a place I'm unfamiliar with and there were be a stranger watching me and probably talking to me the whole time and I can think of things I would like to do less but there aren't very many of them.
Seriously, I would rather go to the dentist. At least at the dentist, people expect you to be anxious and you don't have to talk because there are metal things in your mouth.
