Confessions

Yup, still a cool feature. I will stick with my used 15+yr old cars, thank ya. Some of us are frugal (aka, don't have the money currently for $200 + monthly payments on a car. XD). Gotta do what ya gotta do. As the cool kids say, YOLO. I did at one point have the money(And, the payments.), then marriage and a kid came along, pffft...not my fault. I mean, who knew sex leads to potentially life changing and permanent things? Now to do something useful, like go back to school and work towards making those monthly payments again. Gotta love debt, right? Riiiiiiight? No envy on my part, none what soooo ever.... *Cough* Bastard. ;P

My first car was stick, but I’ve gone automatic ever since. Once I have things in place where I can get a weekend car, maybe that one will be stick!

I confess everytime i send money to my sister i add a funny comment. Today they are going to disney and asked if i could lend some money to buy some stuff, and my bank lets me add a comment each time i send money. So this time i said "disney may be where the magic happens, but my account is the one doing the disappearing act"

I confess that my introvert battery gets so drained during the work week that I typically feel depressed for a few hours on Saturday.

I confess that I just finished making my purchases with the annual anime sale so I just spent about $320 on top of the hundred or so I spent earlier. Also I just love how Panda always trolls people who try to get with him sexually in role-play. I love telling my friends how he talked with a girl who asked him to pet her pussy rofl

BZ- nah it switches the auto transmission to manual xD For certain model Volvo cars it's a feature called Geartronic (according to the owner's manual). But it's accurate to say it isn't a true manual cuz there's no clutch. It's the same as the cars with paddle shifters behind the steering wheel, except I can choose between that and auto. It's for switching it to "Sports" mode, which apparently is what the "S+" means when I tilt the shifter. When tilted, it no longer engages Park or Reverse, instead it turns into a manual shifter... hitting it up shifts gears up, and pulling it down shifts gears down. The only "non" manual thing about it is the computer will automatically shift gears if you redline it too long. A feature I like since I've never drove a manual before and don't exactly trust myself xD I find myself shifting too early tho out of fear that I'm gonna damage something >_>

I admit that one of the hardest things I'm having to learn to deal with when it comes to being an adult is the idea of debt. Still at 28 years old I live by the rule that if you don't have enough money then you don't buy it whether it is for pleasure or necessity. It's a very difficult way to live life nowadays in a country if not world that revolves around trying to make you live in debt. Having a good credit score basically means you're good at being in debt and paying it off in some places won't let you do business with them if you don't have a good credit score or any score at all. I save up throughout the year so birthdays, conventions, Christmas and everything else, I don't have to save up a single penny when the time comes because I already have the money. With the cost of everything that's not easy though and so it's hard to let go of that practice
