Divas Dishing The Dirt

3 friends. 3 very different people. All with opinions.

Ladies! You've got to step up your game!

Diva's aren't being very diva-ish. Where's the FABULOUSNESS? Where's the mystery? Where's the captivating imagery? Well here it is I say, HERE!

I used my absolute best divalishiousness yesterday afternoon in the best possible scenario I could. I got pulled over. DUN DUN DUH!! Oh yes.

The officer was driving the opposite direction from me as I flew home after paying $325. to have my car fixed. I had just picked it up at the mechanics. Anyhow I didn't realize that he was trying to get me, so I continued to drive and being that I was right outside my neighborhood, I turned in. WELL here comes Jim-Bob FLYIN' up behind me like some sort of criminal. I pull over. I'm IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. EVERYBODY AND THEIR DOG DRIVES BY LOOKING AT ME. F*ck. He walks up and here's how it went:

Jim-Bob: Ma'am didn't you see me trying to pull you over?
Me: No! I didn't know you were trying to get me! (in my meekest voice)
Jim-Bob: Well I flashed my lights as soon as you drove by.
Me: I'm sorry I didn't know.
Jim-Bob: Do you realize you were going 61 in a 45 zone?
Me: OH MY GOD! I WAS! I'M SO SORRY! (in the most surprised and emphatic voice I own)
Jim-Bob: Ok. Do you have your license, insurance and registration?
Me: Yes, one second. (I dig around a bit and get all three). (Once again in my meekest/sheepish voice) I hope this is the right stuff! I've never been pulled over in South Carolina!
Jim-Bob: Ok. Give me a minute.

I sit and wait, and sit and wait. Anybody else who hadn't driven by when I first got pulled then drove by and stared. NOW they think I'm some sort of delinquent FOR SURE . My neighbors already thought we were drug dealers or something because we're about 10 years younger than all of them and they always ask us questions about "what we do" at neighborhood parties. ANYWAY here come Jim-Bob....

Jim-Bob: Ms. Bell, here you go (hands me a piece of paper). I appreciate you being honest with me, so I'll save you 4 points (not sure how this works. All I've gathered is it's some lame system they use in order to raise your car insurance) and one-hundred and eighty dollars. In the future slow down. There's two patrol cars and a motorcycle officer patrolling this area.
Me: Oh yes I noticed! ( I didn't but it sounded good) Thanks SO MUCH!! I JUST got through picking my car up from the mechanic and paying three-hundred and twenty five dollars!! I show him the receipt as proof.
Jim-Bob: Huh. Well I can see why, the way YOU DRIVE!

(ARSE HOLE!)

Me: tee hee hee. OK! Thank YOU!!!!!

**Leave as quickly as possible with out speeding!

GOD that was close! I'm SO LUCKY!

*** edit-one more thought. Right after I drove away, I thought: if I were a black, crack head looking woman, or even just a man, I SO would not have gotten out of that one.

Ethics

So I busted my ass yesterday, cramming for my medical terminology test. I felt like I knew it pretty well. We all go in, take the test, and BAM! I got a 78! Grrr. I'm aggravated at myself, but what I'm thinking about is not related. You see a small group of us wait around to get out grades because he grades everything immediately. So after we all got our grades, our professor says," what happened to you guys?" I guess implying that none of us did all that well (curve it I say!!). So commenced the blaming on him because he made the mistake of saying maybe he hadn't taught it that well....... AND THEN as I'm walking out of the room, he says," did you hear that?" I turn around and say no. He says,' I'm going to be at the Flying Saucer tomorrow night (tonight) if any of you want to come out there." I in my usual form say," ok well if we go are you going to let us re-take the test?" No he says, but I'll buy you a drink to make you feel better about your grade." he smiles. I say, huh ok, and leave.

Ok so I'm thinking is this ethical? I mean we're just a few weeks into the semester, it's not like it's after the semester? I wonder if there's a school policy about this? What's he trying to do? Is he hoping he's gonna get some EXTRA CREDIT from someone? Wink wink, nod nod. He's married with a kid, I hope not. If I don't go will I be missing out on an opportunity to be buddy buddy with Mr. Professor and possibly get a better grade in the class? He does seem like that "type." Shit I don't know.

It's ON! Like Donkey Kong!

Alrighty! My blog is up and running with a temporary template. I haven't added an entry cause I need to have something worthwhile to say but here's the link... Ms. Adventures

Thank you to my darling diva friends who have allowed me this platform! I feel like a phoenix being renewed, a baby bird taking flight from the nest.... er um... well you get my drift.

kisses
