Did I Mention I Hate Cars?

I left school today at about 3:00 after spending a few hours in the library.

I got back to the apartment at *7:00*.

I am never, ever, ever, ever commuting in Northern Virginia again. Ever. Especially not in a stickshift. If I end up here again I'm figuring out some way to take the bus. Or hitchhiking. Or flying. Or *walking* - it'd almost have been as fast to take the W&Od trail again. Honestly.

(It's interesting how you say those three words - "commuting" and "Northern Virginia" - to anyone inside the Beltway, and they get this really distinctive expression on their face, part pity and part fear.)

So flying came to mind before walking, did it? You're not some superhero's secret identity, are you?

:p I was mostly thinking of the fact that both the starting and ending cities actually have their own dinky airports within a mile of my destinations.

Wait... you hate horrible traffic, but you'd brave airport parking? o.O?

Itsy-bitsy dinky airports that can't fit anything bigger than a Cessna don't generally have horrible parking! That I know of, anyway.

Never mind, I was thinking of a different airport. :)
