Not really, no. Well, depends on how people act and the situation. The driver will always be blamed though, even if people run around like a headless chicken, not caring if they get hit or not.

Maybe you should get yourself one of these hometrainers? Then you can watch Netflix AND train at the same time.

I know. You are right, actually. Both people on foot and cars are pretty careless at intersections. Which is why I have to be careful for everyone involved in my car. 

Yeah, you see-- the thing about that is, what if I don’t use it and I just wasted a crap ton of money on something that sits in the corner of my living room mocking me while I eat ice cream on my couch?

sirasslex:

… Aunt Alex has plenty of booze for Mama?

Add food with that and you’ll probably be forgiven. 

[gracefitz]

mickeyleilani:

Well, congratulations. On top of being the world’s best roommate, you are officially the most charming now too. You can give your acceptance speech now, Gracie love.

Charming? Now you’re just be gracious, Mickey. I could have definitely been more charming.

However I’m never going to turn away any compliments you give me. But I haven’t got a speech prepared and you’ve caught me a bit on the spot.

[gracefitz]

sirasslex:

Of course– Pipsqueak would never. Aunt Alex would bribe her out of her bloodlust with loads of sugar, anyway, and then leave her with Mama.

Now, see, if you did that then you might trigger Mama’s bloodlust, so there’s that.

rileduplynn:

The worst part is that they’re all basically ten minutes long, which means if you watch five of them, you’ve basically killed an hour. And I wonder why I get no studying done?

Exactly! You watch one ten minute video and then see all of those related things on the side-- somehow it’s five hours later and you’re nowhere near where you started.

You do need to study, though. Studying is important.

[gracefitz]

heavenlystjames:

No, they got hit by cars because they don´t really care or look left and right when they cross a street.

It´s the same for me, really. I can appreciate an evening spent on the couch, watching Netflix, but I´d much rather go out for a spinning class or to see a play. And please do, I can´t wait to see what everyone thinks of the commercial!

Well... yes, there is that, too. But they also didn’t have protection between them and the road so it’s probably much more the car’s fault or something.

Oh, I fall much more prey to the Netflix thing than the spin class thing. I can’t help it. There’s just so many things on there I haven’t seen yet! 

[gracefitz]

tinyvacuum:

Are you a good driver tho? Asking cause Im just the worst. if you are good and that’s how you feel about driving here, this means I should never try lol

I like to think I’m a great driver. But why do you think you’re the worst?

[gracefitz]

sirasslex:

I gotta keep my rep up, don’t I?

Good, thank you. I feel so much safer knowing at least one person isn’t gonna be out for my blood on the street.

I’m pretty sure Nev isn’t out for your blood either, so that’s two people. 

[gracefitz]

beeanders:

Ah– I had to very regretfully decline my Hummel-Hudson invitation, but I’ll save a slice of pecan pie just for you, Grace.

Did you save me a slice?

[gracefitz]

natashawalker:

You shouldn’t drive like a grandma Grace, it’s making you and Nev lose cool points. New York’s tricky though, so I get your uncertainty. If you need to get anywhere though, and you’ve handed over the car, just let me know and I’ll take you. I’m a epic driver!

I’m sorry that driving safely makes us lose cool points but I can live with that, so. It’s more than tricky! It’s dangerous. I actually believe you’re probably a better driver than I am so I’ll hit you up on that. I appreciate the offer.

[gracefitz]

@mickeyleilani replied to your ask:

I’m taking this as a huge compliment

It should be. And, I’m glad you are.

[gracefitz]

acup-anaya:

It can certainly be stressful. I think you have to have a certain temperament for it, which I do not have. That is why I walk or subway. At least you made it out unscathed?

Don’t get me wrong, I love driving. When it’s not in this city, it isn’t stressful. Here, I’m a lot more on your side with that. But, yes thankfully. I’ve only driven it here and there but I’ve been good to go so far. 

How’ve you been, though? Had a good Thanksgiving?

[gracefitz]

huntingclarity:

Yeah, a smart car decided to play bumper cars with me, but it wasn’t bad. Idiot wasn’t speeding at least, so it was more of a bump, tip over, and loss of dignity. I’m alive, so that’s good. The bike got a bit scratched up.

Is the smart car putting your biking days behind you or are you just waiting for that dignity to come back to ride again? And also probably repairs.

[gracefitz]

spencxrporter:

You already told me that. What’s new, Grace?

I’ve been… preparing for my overly doting parents. I actually think that I’ll run away this Thanksgiving.

Just making sure the point was made.

Did you wind up running away?

[gracefitz]

spencxrporter:

… I’m just saying that I’m honored to be there. 

You just... you’re so... weird.

Anyway, how’ve you been?

[gracefitz]

@spencxrporter replied to your post: Wildcard! Which 3 ACup girls would make a...

I’m honored to be a part of the list.

You’re so weird sometimes. 

[gracefitz]

😍Dear crush…

Dear crush,

……. stop being dumb, you dummy.

Sincerely, Grace
