There I was. Fourth in line in the turning lane after my late movie*. No one was around, and this whole light changing business was taking a while. The first guy must have been here a while before me. Then, all of a sudden, he goes for it! Turning left on a RED! What is happening?! Then a minute later, the second guy takes off....then, there goes number three. No cars have passed, and there is no sign of a green light coming. I look, first left, then right. I inch forward, look again. I take it! Oh man! What a thrill! A rush! I've been in that position many times, but never dared to go, but everyone else did. I guess that classifies me as a follower**. I look in my rear view mirror at the car who had just pulled up behind me before I left. It's still sitting there, still no sign of a green light appearing in the near future.
I've been in that position so many times, but never dared to go before. And I most likely wont anytime soon. But, oh, what a rush it was!
*I went to see Wolfman, which turned out to be (not unexpectedly) awful. Please don't waste 10 dollars on this movie.
**Yes, as many of my teachers have asked, if my friends were jumping off a bridge I most likely would follow them. Deal with it. That sounds like fun and you know it!

Sometimes I hate midnight lights too! ; )
And I TOLD you not to go see Wolfman. Now maybe you'll listen to me...but probably not.
Wow. You're only 1 step from becoming a deliquent.
Ooooo... I've done the late night/early morning light dash, too. It *is* exciting! (or is my life just boring?)
