Driving on the Open Road

It occured to me, driving down the highway between some random prairie town and my grandparents' house that highway driving is really very monotonous. All you have to do is stay between the lines and keep a constant speed of 110 (or cheating 120 if your parents don't notice and no one is around you). Fairly straightforward (ooooh, two meanings). Personally, I enjoy the ambience of classic rock or similiar music. Singing along also makes my mom nervous. And my brother and dad sleepy, but that's not the point. Don't get me wrong, I love driving high speed through the country side, but it wouldn't hurt to be a little less dull. City driving you have the added bonus of lane changes and traffic lights. Can you imagine the intensity??

Anyways, yeah. That was what I did today. I drove a minivan. Yay.

...That... is special. I like driving for hours straight through the prarie,if you want to talk monotonious. My god. Set it on cruise control, go in the back and find yourself something to eat and then get back in the drivers seat and nothing's changed. *sigh*

I'm scared. Driving seems so crazy, my parents are always cutting out articles on how 15 year olds die in accidents and stuff. Silly parents....

And you think the driving is boring? At least you have something to do. Try sitting in the back for 45 hours. It's not so pleasant.

I agree with steph, I meen I dont even have my drivers licesnse let alone my learners and to sit in the back of a car for 10 straight hours gets super annoying after a while
