Intro/statement of purpose

So I'm a 21-year-old college student, and I drive six hours back and forth in a straight line on I-85 to see my hubby each week (count it: 12 hours a week).  I've already driven this at least 20 times and so I have a lot of interesting experiences and impressions to share with people who maybe don't drive 12 hours a week on the highway but want to laugh at me since I do.  I plan on posting little letters to cars/drivers I've encountered, detailing experiences of interest to folks (e.g. near crashes, how I avoided them or just completely failed to react), and basically whatever else cool or dumb that happens over the course of these drives.  Just for background, I currently drive a '98 Altima stick with 181000 miles on it (typically over the speed limit).  Her name is Birdy.  I think of myself as a courteous driver--I change lanes over if a semi is threatening someone merging in, I try to make a point not to tailgate, I try to get over early when there's an accident or something stopping the lefthand lanes (kind of dumb I guess), I switch lanes over from the farthest right if someone is stopped on the side...you get the idea.   As you'll learn, I have also done many many stupid things such as: tailing a slow car on the on-ramp and then getting onto the highway at 45 and nearly dying, nearly getting lane-changed into and doing nothing intelligent about it, passing a semi on the right hand side (those were the early days), and tailing a car in front of me closer than I would have parked (for only a few seconds, but that was really stupid).

If this is something I stick with, and not some random account I forget the username and password to, I will probably be updating it about twice weekly (once by Friday, once by Monday) since these drives take place during the afternoon/night on Thursday and during the night (read 7pm-1am) Sunday.  Early on I'll probably be remembering random things I haven't yet posted and posting them at random times during the week when I don't want to do productive things like read for class.  Good luck reading this.  I know a little about cars but not enough to be impressive, some cool things happen to me and some things that I think are cool but are actually boring, and I also anticipate making pointless posts even if nothing happens.  Everyone get excited.
