so get this laid back l.a. story: i went to the dmv today to get my california driver's license, a year too late, and everything is flowing smoothly. i pay $27, ask the guy how much time i have to study before i take the test, he says 45 minutes and so i go sit down to read over my california driving booklet. as i 'm reading, people are departing the testing room and meeting up with their friends/significant others post exam (i forgot that people do that for you. how nice!!). one guy who met up with a girl sitting behind me burst out with 'it was hard! and, i mean, i've been driving since the 70's!' so i got SUPER paranoid that i was not going to pass (did i mention that back in 1992 i failed my ca drivers test and had to go back and take it again?) that only added to the current anxiety of the situation. plus the guy who said that had long blonde hair, which can only lead an anxious person to believe that he is a native californian- so if it was hard for him, it's gonna suck for me!
then... out of the blue... came this long, dark haired savior who asked 'do you want these?' and in her hand were two failed written tests with the correct answers. well, the goodie-goodie in me wanted them, but had to ask 'isn't this considered cheating?' the brunette (by the way, brunettes are the real angels here, since everyone here is fake blonde, including me, so she gets major BONUS points for just being a good egg) looks at the dmv person who is manning the testing room and asks if it's ok to give me her failed tests. miss dmv says 'you are only cheating if you bring them or the booklet into the testing room.' ok, can't really understand that and can't really argue with it either. so i peruse both tests, go into the testing area and, sure enough, i am handed one of the exact tests dark angel gave me. i think i was done in 5 minutes max and i got an A+ (aka 100%)!! i did not learn anything other than; maybe cheatin' ain't cheatin' here in california! thanks kind savior! hope i can pass on the same good karma soon...
p.s. my license will look NOTHING like this.

hot dream license. way to score with the angel! i failed my drivers test by one question and mr. dmv was like "you really meant to answer 'false' for this one, didn't you?" i peered at it and said, "duh." then i drove away.
