This is funny D.J. I had already read it, but I wanted you to know that I stopped by. You are a creative, funny writer. Well done on the Album cover pictures a while back. Greatness!

dude... i love places like the dmv. it's one of those defining moments where you get to say "yes. these people really do exist."

my dmv character is "try to be descreet about reading highlights even though i'm 22 but totally blow my cover by laughing out loud" girl

and i'm happy to say i've met every one of your dmv friends and i remember them well.

two loves.
